Answer: 99.1 seconds

Explanation: You know that the total distance is 34km, and the speed of the sound is 343m/s.

Now, the total time that takes to something with a given velocity, to reach a distance D, is:

T = D/v

where D = 34km and v = 343m/s

Now, here we have different units, so we must convert the kilomeres into meters, this can be done as: 1km = 1000m then, 34km = 1000*34m = 34000m

Then the total time is:

T = 34000m/343m/s = 99.1 seconds

Answer:

99 s

Explanation:

distance = rate × time

34000 m = (343 m/s) t

t = 99 s

what was the temperature change in Celsius degree if it is changed from 44 degree fahrenheit to -56 degree fahrenheit

wel

Answer:

-11.11 degree Celsius

Explanation:

The change was 44 degree fanhereit

To 56 degree fanhereit

Therefore the temperature range can be calculated as follows

56-44

= 12 degree fanhereit to Celsius

= 12-32×5/9

= -20×5/9

= 100/9

= -11.11 degree Celsius

A wheel has a radius of r = 2.0 m and it rolls down a smooth incline. The height of the incline is h = 8.0 m . What is the angul

zepelin [54]

The angular velocity of the wheel at the bottom of the incline is 4.429 rad/sec

The angular velocity (ω) of an object is the rate at which the object's angle position is changing in relation to time.

For a wheel attached to an incline angle, the angular velocity can be computed by considering the conservation of energy theorem.

As such the total kinetic energy (K.E) and rotational kinetic energy (R.K.E) at a point is equal to the total potential energy (P.E) at the other point.

i.e.

P.E = K.E + R.K.E

$\mathbf{mgh = \dfrac{1}{2}m(r \times \omega)^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times I \times \omega^2}$

$\mathbf{gh = \dfrac{1}{2}(r \times \omega)^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times r^2 \times \omega^2}$

$\mathbf{2 \times \dfrac{gh}{r^2} =\omega^2 + \omega^2}$

$\mathbf{2 \omega^2=2 \times \dfrac{9.81 \times 8 m }{2.0 ^2} }$

$\mathbf{\omega^2=\dfrac{39.24 }{2}}$

$\mathbf{\omega=\sqrt{19.62 } \ rad/sec}$

$\mathbf{\omega=4.429 \ rad/sec}$

Therefore, we can conclude that the angular velocity of the wheel at the bottom of the incline is 4.429 rad/sec

A 175-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of an 18.0-m hill and rolls down the hill, then up a second hill that ha

Anni [7]

Answer:

The work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill is 6574.75 joules.

Explanation:

By Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem we present the equations that describe the situation of the roller coaster car on each top of the hill. Let consider that bottom has a height of zero meters.

From top of the first hill to the bottom

$m\cdot g \cdot h_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} +W_{1, loss}$ (1)

From the bottom to the top of the second hill

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2}+W_{2,loss}$ (2)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the roller coaster car, in kilograms.

$v_{1}$ - Speed of the roller coaster car at the bottom between the two hills, in meters per second.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

$h_{1}$ - Height of the first top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.

$W_{1, loss}$ - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car between the top of the first hill and the bottom, in joules.

$v_{2}$ - Speed of the roller coaster car at the top of the second hill, in meters per seconds.

$h_{2}$ - Height of the second top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.

$W_{2, loss}$ - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car bewteen the bottom between the two hills and the top of the second hill, in joules.

By using (1) and (2), we reduce the system of equation into a sole expression:

$m\cdot g\cdot h_{1} = m\cdot g\cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2} + W_{loss}$ (3)

Where $W_{loss}$ is the work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill, in joules.

If we know that $m = 175\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $h_{1} = 18\,m$ , $h_{2} = 8\,m$ and $v_{2} = 11\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the work done by non-conservative force is:

$W_{loss} = m\cdot\left[ g\cdot \left(h_{1}-h_{2}\right)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot v_{2}^{2} \right]$

$W_{loss} = 6574.75\,J$

The work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill is 6574.75 joules.
