Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed)
                            =        (2 m/a)  -  (8 m/a)  =  -6 m/a .

Time for the change = (end time) - (start time)
                                 =   (13 sec)  -  (10 sec)  =  3 sec .

Magnitude of acceleration =  (-6 m/a) / (3 sec)

                                          =       -2 m/a per second .
 
(That's the best I can do with the ambiguous units.
What unit of speed is 'm/a' ?  Is that "miles per afternoon" ?)

A uniform solid sphere has mass m= 7 kg and radius r= 0. 4 m. What is its moment of inertia about an axis tangent to its surface
lilavasa [31]

The moment of inertia of a uniform solid sphere is equal to 0.448 kgm^2.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Mass of sphere = 7 kg.

Radius of sphere = 0.4 meter.

<h3>How to calculate moment of inertia.</h3>

Mathematically, the moment of inertia of a solid sphere is given by this formula:

I=\frac{2}{5} mr^2

<u>Where:</u>

  • I is the moment of inertia.
  • m is the mass.
  • r is the radius.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

I=\frac{2}{5} \times 7 \times 0.4^2\\\\I=2.8 \times 0.16

I = 0.448 kgm^2.

A train travels 67 kilometers in 1 hours, and then 81 kilometers in 5 hours. What is its average speed?
Naddika [18.5K]
Answer: 24.7 km/h

Explanation:

1) Average speed definition and formula

The average speed is the total distance run divided by the time elapsed:

S = distance / time

2) Distance 1 = 67 km

3) Distance 2 = 81 km

4) Total distance traveled = 67 km + 81 km = 148 km

5) time 1 = 1 hour

6) time 2 = 5 hours

7) total time = time 1 + time 2 = 1 h + 5 h = 6 h

8) Average speed:

S = 148 km / 6 h = 24.7 km/h

A sphere of volume 1.20×10−3m3 hangs from a cable. When the sphere is completely submerged in water, the tension in the cable is
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

B = 62.9 N

Explanation:

This is an exercise on Archimedes' principle, where the thrust force equals the weight of the  liquid

         B = ρ g V

write the equilibrium equation

         T + B -W = 0

         B = W- T               (1)

use the density to write the weight

         ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

         W = ρ g V

substitute in  1

         B = m g -T

         B = \rho_{body} g V - T

To finish the calculation, the density of the material must be known, suppose it is steel  \rho_{body} = 7850 kg / m³

calculate

         B = 7850 9.8 1.20 10⁻³ - 29.4

          B = 92.3 - 29.4

          B = 62.9 N

A hose directs a horizontal jet of water, moving with a velocity of 20m/s, on to a vertical wall. The
just olya [345]
Force is defined as the rate of change of momentum.
The initial amount of momentum is mv because water stops when it hit the wall total change of momentum must be \Delta p=mv.
Now let's calculate the force.
F= \frac{dp}{dt}=\frac{d(mv)}{dt}=\frac{dm}{dt}v
We need to find \frac{dm}{dt}. This is the amount of water hiting the wall per second.
\frac{dm}{dt}=\rho Av
Our final formula would be:
F=\rho Avv=\rho Av^2
And now we can calculate the answer:
F=1000\cdot5\cdot 10^{-4}\cdot(20)^2=200 N
