A car travels 60 miles due West first then turns back and travels 120 miles due East in 3 hours. What is...

Physics
1 answer:
ella [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<h2>A. 180 miles</h2><h2>B. 60 miles</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

In this problem, we are required to solve for the total distance that the car travelled. and the displacement

A) the distance travelled by car

this can be gotten by summing all the distances the car has travelled.

i,e total distance= 60 miles+120 miles

total distance= 180 miles

B) the displacement of the car

the displacement can be gotten by  subtracting the final distance from the initial distance

final distance = 120 miles

initial distance= 60 miles

displacement= 120-60= 60 miles

Acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change)

      - 4.1 m/s²  =  (-9 m/s)  /  (time for the change)

Time for the change  =  (-9 m/s) / (-4.1 m/s²)  =   2.2 seconds

What is the energy of a rock with a mass of 10.2 kg on a cliff that is 300 m height?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The potential energy of the rock is 30,000 J

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of an object is equal to the sum of its gravitational potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E=PE+KE

where

PE is the gravitational potential energy, which is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field

KE is the kinetic energy, which is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion

In this problem, the rock is at rest, so its kinetic energy is zero:

KE = 0

Therefore, the energy of the rock is just equal to its potential energy, which is:

E=PE=mgh

where

m = 10.2 kg is the mass of the rock

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 300 m is the height of the rock above the ground

Substituting and solving, we find

PE=(10.2)(9.8)(300)=30,000 J

Suppose that you are holding a cup of coffee in your hand identify all forces on the cup and reaction to each force
Stels [109]

Answer:

Newton's third law.

Explanation:

•your hand of holding UP/DOWN the cup has a reaction with force

•Coffee inside the cup is pushing outward to the edges of the cup

•The cup is pushing inward onto the coffee

"His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A."

The interior space of large box is kept at 30 C. The walls of the box are 3 m high and have a ‘sandwich’ construction consisting
White raven [17]

Answer:

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =20.129\ W.m^{-2}

T_1=27.58\ ^{\circ}C & T_2=2.41875\ ^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given:

  • interior temperature of box, T_i=30^{\circ}C
  • height of the walls of box, h=3\ m
  • thickness of each layer of bi-layered plywood, x_p=1.25\ cm=0.0125\ m
  • thermal conductivity of plywood, k_p=0.104\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • thickness of sandwiched Styrofoam, x_s=5\ cm=0.05\ m
  • thermal conductivity of Styrofoam, k_s=0.04\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • exterior temperature, T_o=0^{\circ}C

<u>From the Fourier's law of conduction:</u>

\dot Q=\frac{dT}{(\frac{x}{kA}) }

\dot Q=\frac{dT}{R_{th} } ....................................(1)

<u>Now calculating the equivalent thermal resistance for conductivity using electrical analogy:</u>

R_{th}=R_p+R_s+R_p

R_{th}=\frac{x_p}{k_p.A}+\frac{x_s}{k_s.A}+\frac{x_p}{k_p.A}

R_{th}=\frac{1}{A} (\frac{x_p}{k_p}+\frac{x_s}{k_s}+\frac{x_p}{k_p})

R_{th}=\frac{1}{A} (\frac{0.0125}{0.104}+\frac{0.05}{0.04}+\frac{0.0125}{0.104})

R_{th}=\frac{1.4904}{A} .....................(2)

Putting the value from (2) into (1):

\dot Q=\frac{30-0}{\frac{1.4904}{A} }

\dot Q=\frac{30\ A}{1.4904}

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =20.129\ W.m^{-2} is the heat per unit area of the wall.

The heat flux remains constant because the area is constant.

<u>For plywood-Styrofoam interface from inside:</u>

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =k_p.\frac{T_i-T_1}{x_p}

20.129=0.104\times \frac{30-T_1}{0.0125}

T_1=27.58\ ^{\circ}C

&<u>For Styrofoam-plywood interface from inside:</u>

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =k_s.\frac{T_1-T_2}{x_s}

20.129=0.04\times \frac{27.58-T_2}{0.05}

T_2=2.41875\ ^{\circ}C

As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted o
astraxan [27]

Answer:

3.6 x 10⁶ Pa

Explanation:

A = Area of the heel = 1.50 cm² = 1.50 x 10⁻⁴ m²

m = mass of the woman = 55.0 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Force of gravity on the heel is given as

F = mg

Inserting the values

F = (55) (9.8)

F = 539 N

Pressure exerted on the floor is given as

P = \frac{F}{A}

P = \frac{539}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}

P = 3.6 x 10⁶ Pa
