Answer:

 The space in seconds that will be kept = 2.27 seconds

Explanation:

S = d/t..................... Equation 1

making t the subject of formula in the equation above,

t = d/S.................... Equation 2

Where S = speed, d = distance, t = time.

Conversion: (i)if 1 mph = 0.44704 m/s,

then, 30 mph = 30×0.44704

= 13.41 m/s

(ii) If 1 foot = 0.3048 m

then, 100 foot = 30.48 m.

Given: S = 30 mph = 13.41 m/s, d = 100 foot = 30.48 m

Substituting these values into equation 2

t = 30.48/13.41

t = 2.27 seconds.

Therefore the space in seconds that will be kept = 2.27 seconds

Answer:

Explanation:

D = 8.27 m ⇒ R = D / 2 = 8.27 m / 2 = 4.135 m

ω = 0.66 rev/sec = (0.66 rev/sec)*(2π rad/1 rev) = 4.1469 rad/s

We can apply the equation

Ff = W ⇒ μ*N = m*g (I)

then we have

N = Fc = m*ac = m*(ω²*R)

Returning to the equation I

μ*N = m*g ⇒ μ*m*ω²*R = m*g ⇒ μ = g / (ω²*R)

Finally

μ = (9.81 m/s²) / ((4.1469 rad/s)²*4.135 m) = 0.1379

On a distant planet, a rock falls in 48.4 s from the top of a 1.10e+02 m cliff to the planet surface below. What is the accelera

pav-90 [236]

this can be solve using the formala of free fall

t = sqrt( 2y/ g)

where t is the time of fall

y is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity

48.4 s = sqrt (2 (1.10e+02 m)/ g)

G = 0.0930 m/s2

The velocity at impact

V = sqrt(2gy)

= sqrt( 2 ( 0.0930 m/s2)( 1.10e+02 m)

V = 4.523 m/s

Sound enters the ear, travels through the auditory canal, and reaches the eardrum. The auditory canal is approximately a tube op

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The fundamental frequency of can is 2.7 kHz.

Explanation:

Given that,

A typical length for the auditory canal in an adult is about 3.1 cm, l = 3.1 cm

The speed of sound is, v = 336 m/s

We need to find the fundamental frequency of the canal. For a tube open at only one end, the fundamental frequency is given by :

$f=\dfrac{v}{4l}\\\\f=\dfrac{336}{4\times 3.1\times 10^{-2}}\\\\f=2709.67\ Hz\\\\f=2.7\ kHz$

So, the fundamental frequency of can is 2.7 kHz. Hence, this is the required solution.
