As per the question, the distance travelled by bobsled [s] = 100 m

The time taken by the bobsled to travel that distance [t] = 25 s

We are asked to calculate the speed of the bobsled.

The speed of the bobsled is calculated as -

$speed\ =\ \frac{distance}{time}$

$v\ =\ \frac{s}{t}$

$=\frac{100\ m}{25\ s}$

$=\ 4\ m/s$

Hence, the correct answer to the question is A. 4 m/s.

North Dakota Electric Company estimates its demand trend line (in millions of kilowatt hours) to be: D = 75.0 + 0.45Q, whe

Alborosie

Answer:

The demand forecast for winter is 96.36 millions KWH

The demand forecast for spring is 145.08 millions KWH

The demand forecast for summer is 169.89 millions KWH

The demand forecast for fall is 73.08 millions KWH

Explanation:

Given that,

The demand trend line is

$D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors$

We need to calculate the demand forecast for winter

Using given formula

$D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors$

Put the value into the formula

$D=(75.0+0.45\times101)\times0.80$

$D=96.36\ millions\ KWH$

We need to calculate the demand forecast for spring

Using given formula

$D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors$

Put the value into the formula

$D=(75.0+0.45\times102)\times1.20$

$D=145.08\ millions\ KWH$

We need to calculate the demand forecast for summer

Using given formula

$D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors$

Put the value into the formula

$D=(75.0+0.45\times103)\times1.40$

$D=169.89\ millions KWH$

We need to calculate the demand forecast for fall

Using given formula

$D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors$

Put the value into the formula

$D=(75.0+0.45\times104)\times0.60$

$D=73.08\ millions KWH$

Hence, The demand forecast for winter is 96.36 millions KWH

The demand forecast for spring is 145.08 millions KWH

The demand forecast for summer is 169.89 millions KWH

The demand forecast for fall is 73.08 millions KWH

The cabinet is mounted on coasters and has a mass of 45 kg. The casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating. The coeff

stira [4]

Answer:

the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the cabinet m = 45 kg

coefficient of static friction μ = 0.30

A free flow body diagram illustrating what the question represents is attached in the file below;

The given condition from the question let us realize that ; the casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating.

Thus; considering the forces along the vertical axis ; we have :

$\sum f_y =0$

The upward force and the downward force is :

$N_A+N_B = mg$

where;

$\mathbf { N_A \ and \ N_B}$ are the normal contact force at center point A and B respectively .

$N_A+N_B = 45*9.8$

$N_A+N_B = 441$ ------- equation (1)

Considering the forces on the horizontal axis:

$\sum f_x = 0$

$F_A +F_B = P$

where ;

$\mathbf{ F_A \ and \ F_B }$ are the static friction at center point A and B respectively.

which can be written also as:

$\mu_s N_A + \mu_s N_B = P$

$\mu_s( N_A + N_B) = P$

replacing our value from equation (1)

P = 0.30 ( 441)

P = 132.3 N

Thus; the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

b) Since the horizontal distance between the casters A and B is 480 mm; Then half the distance = 480 mm/2 = 240 mm = 0.24 cm

the largest value of "h" allowed for the cabinet is not to tip over is calculated by determining the limiting condition of the unbalanced torque whose effect is canceled by the normal reaction at $N_A$ and it is shifted to $N_B$ :

Then:

$\sum M _B = 0$

$P*h = mg*0.24$

$h =\frac{45*9.8*0.24}{132.3}$

h = 0.8 m

Thus; the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.

olasank [31]

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N
