Answer:

It will take 126.84 years to pay off the debt

Explanation:

Total debt = $14,000,000,000,000.00

Paid $3,500 per second

Number of seconds to pay off the debt will be:

14 ×10^12 /3500

Number of seconds = 4× 10^9 seconds

Converting seconds to year:

I second = 3.171 ×10^-8 calendar year

Therefore, number of years it will take to pay off $14 Trillion =( 4 ×10^9 ) × ( 3.171 × 10^-8)

Number of years = 126.84 years

What must the diver's minimum speed be just as she leaves the top of the cliff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom, wh
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1.08 m/s

Explanation:

This can be solved with two steps, first we need to find the time taken to fall 9.5 m, then we can divide the horizontal distance covered with time taken to calculate the velocity.

Time taken to fall 9.5 m

vertical acceleration = a = 9.8 m/s^2.

vertical velocity = 0, (since there is only horizontal component for velocity, )

distance traveled  s = 9.5 m.

Substituting these values in the equation

s= u \timest+0.5at^{2}

t= \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }

t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times9.5}{9.8} }

⇒ t= 1.392 sec

Velocity needed

We know the time taken (1.392 s) to travel 1.5 m,

So velocity = 1.5 m / 1.392 s = 1.08 m/s

hence velocity of the diver must be at least 1.08 m/s

One end of a string is fixed. An object attached to the other end moves on a horizontal plane with uniform circular motion of ra
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.

Explanation:

The radial acceleration (a_{r}), measured in meters per square second, experimented by the moving end of the string is determined by the following kinematic formula:

a_{r} = 4\pi^{2}\cdot f^{2}\cdot R (1)

Where:

f - Frequency, measured in hertz.

R - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

From Second Newton's Law, the centripetal acceleration is due to the existence of tension (T), measured in newtons, through the string, then we derive the following model:

\Sigma F = T = m\cdot a_{r} (2)

Where m is the mass of the object, measured in kilograms.

By applying (1) in (2), we have the following formula:

T = 4\pi^{2}\cdot m\cdot f^{2}\cdot R (3)

From where we conclude that tension is directly proportional to the radius and the square of frequency. Then, if radius and frequency are doubled, then the ratio between tensions is:

\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left(\frac{f_{2}}{f_{1}} \right)^{2}\cdot \left(\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}} \right) (4)

\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 4\cdot 2

\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 8

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.

Use newton's laws to find an expression for the net external force acting on the car. ignore air resistance.
alexira [117]
Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Newton's second law of motion can be expressed as Fnet = ma. The next external for acting on, say for example, a moving car are the following:

*weight due to gravity (force down)
*friction force between he road and the car's tires (force opposite the car's direction)
