Answer:

727.67 km

Explanation:

Sine they have Same distance D

distance = speed * time

D = 5.08t

D = 8.3312(t+55.9)

so

5.08t = 8.3312(t+55.9) t in

3.2512t = 465.71

t = 143.2s

Subtitute t

D=5.08 t

= 5.08 × 143.2

= 727.67km

Your Lead Teaching Assistant is initially seated on the top of a hemispherical ice mound of radius R = 30 m. Approximate the ice
saw5 [17]

Answer:

<em>Height = 5.65 km</em>

Explanation:

3\pi r^2 is the circumference or we can say measures the boundary of hemisphere of friction-less ice that he is sitting on.

So, the height will be = 2 x 3.14 x (30)^2 = 5654.7 m = 5.65 km

A block is resting on a platform that is rotating at an angular speed of 2.4 rad/s. The coefficient of static friction between t
Sloan [31]

Answer:

r = 0m is the Minimum distance from the axis at which the block can remain in place wothout skidding.

Explanation:

From a sum of forces:

Ff = m*a   where Ff = μ * N    and a = \frac{V^2}{r}=\omega^2*r

N - m*g = 0   So, N = m*g.   Replacing everything on the original equation:

\mu*m*g = m*\omega^2*r   (eq2)

Solving for r:

r = \frac{\mu*g}{\omega^2}=1.41m

If we analyze eq2 you can conclude that as r grows, the friction has to grow (assuming that ω is constant), so the smallest distance would be 0 and the greatest 1.41m. Beyond that distance, μ has to be greater than 0.83.
