Answer:

5694000 min

Explanation:

Let's suppose the average American watches 4 hours of TV every day. First, we will calculate how many minutes they watch per day. We will use the conversion factor 1 h = 60 min.

(4 h/day) × (60 min/1 h) = 240 min/day

They watch 240 minutes of TV per day. Now, let's calculate how many minutes they watch per year. We will use the conversion factor 1 year = 365 day.

240 min/day × (365 day/year) = 87600 min/year

They watch 87600 min/year. Finally, let's calculate how many minutes they spend watching TV in 65 years.

87600 min/year × 65 year = 5694000 min

A spring stretches 3.5 cm when a 9 g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 26 g which oscillates i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The period of motion  of new mass T = 0.637 sec

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of object (m) = 9 gm = 0.009 kg

Δx = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

We know that spring force is given by

F = m g

F = 0.009 × 9.81 = 0.08829 N

Spring constant

k = \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{0.08829}{0.035}

k = 2.522 \frac{N}{m}

New mass(m_1) = 26 gm = 0.026 kg

Now the period of motion is given by

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.026}{2.522} }

T = 0.637 sec

This is the period of motion  of new mass.

An ice cream truck is going 25m/s to the East. It accelerates to 45m/s in the same direction over 5s. What is its acceleration?
Naya [18.7K]

Hello!

We can use the kinematic equation:
a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = acceleration (m/s²)

vf = final velocity (45 m/s)
vi = initial velocity (25 m/s)

t = time (5 sec)

Plug in the givens:
a = \frac{45-25}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = \boxed{4 m/s^2}

A simple pendulum has length of 820mm. Calculate the frequency (g = 9.8 ms -2)<br>​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf f=0.55 \ Hz}

Explanation:

<u>Given Data:</u>

Length = l = 820 mm = 0.82 m

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 ms⁻²

<u>Required:</u>

Frequency = f = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

\displaystyle f =\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} }

<u>Solution:</u>

\displaystyle f =\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\Put\ the\ givens\\\\f=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.82} }\\\\ f = 0.159 \times \sqrt{11.95} \\\\f=0.159 \times 3.457\\\\f=0.55 \ Hz\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

A ball is falling at terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the ball is in equilibrium and the forces are balanced. Wh
Greeley [361]

Answer:

A free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N.

Explanation:

This is because at terminal velocity, the ball stops accelerating and the net force on the ball is zero. For the net force to be zero, equal and opposite forces must act on the ball, so that their resultant force is zero. That is F₁ + F₂ = 0 ⇒ F₁ = -F₂

Since F₁ = 20 N, then F₂ = -F₁ = -20 N

So, if F₁ points upwards since it is positive, then F₂ points downwards since it is negative.

So, a free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N best describes the ball falling at terminal velocity.
