Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

so here we have

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>

A 500 kg dragster accelerates from rest to a final speed of 100 m/s in 400 m (about a quarter of a mile) and encounters an avera
Fantom [35]
In order to accelerate the dragster at a speed v_f = 100 m/s, its engine must do a work equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the dragster. Since it starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero, so the work done by the engine to accelerate the dragster to 100 m/s is
W= K_f - K_i = K_f =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J

however, we must take into account also the fact that there is a frictional force doing work against the dragster, and the work done by the frictional force is:
W_f = F_f d = -(1200 N)(400 m)= -4.8 \cdot 10^5 J
and the sign is negative because the frictional force acts against the direction of motion of the dragster.

This means that the total work done by the dragster engine is equal to the work done to accelerate the dragster plus the energy lost because of the frictional force, which is -W_f:
W_t = W + (-W_f)=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J+4.8 \cdot 10^5 J=2.98 \cdot 10^6 J

So, the power delivered by the engine is the total work divided by the time, t=7.30 s:
P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{2.98 \cdot 10^6 J}{7.30 s}=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W

And since 1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, we can rewrite the power as
P=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W \cdot  \frac{1 hp}{746 W} =547 hp

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The force is 15N

Explanation:

The formula is Force= mass × velocity.

From the question mass is 5kg, velocity is 3m/s.

F= 5×3

F= 15Newton.

Therefore the force is 15N.

2. Derive a formula for the speed of the wave in terms of the fundamental frequency f1 and the string length L, and enter it bel
grigory [225]

Answer:

The speed of the wave is f_{1}2L

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency = f

String length = l

We need to drive a formula of the speed of the wave

Using formula of fundamental frequency

f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}

We know that,

\lambda=2L

f=\dfrac{v}{2L}

Where, v = speed of wave

\lambda = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency

The speed of the wave is

v=f_{1}2L

Hence, The speed of the wave is f_{1}2L
