D=Vot+1/2at^2

Vot= 0 since there is no initial velocity in the y direction.

a=gravitational acceleration which is - 32 ft/s^2 in imperial units I believe.

She travels a distance of -2 miles, so

-2 miles= 1/2(-32ft/s^2)t^2

t= square root((- 4 miles)/(-32ft/s^2))

I don't know imperial units, but convert miles to feet then solve for t.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

α=9.42 rad/s    T= 0.014 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

Low speed= Wi=3 rps = 3*2*π rad/s= 6π rad/sec

Medium speed= Wf= 9 rps= 9*2*π rad/sec= 18 rad/sec

time= t= 4 sec

Angular acceleration=α=\frac{Wf-Wi}{t}

⇒α=(18 π - 6 π)/4

⇒α=9.42 rad/s

b).

Rotational inertia= I = 1.5*10^-3 kg-m^2

Net torque= T = I*α = (1.5*10^-3) * (9.42) rad/s^2

⇒T= 0.014 rad/s^2

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building. The rock's initial speed is 6.0 m/s. How long will it take the r
Archy [21]

Answer:

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building, s = 5 m

The initial speed of the rock, u = 6 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the rock to reach the ground. Using second equation of motion to find it. We get :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\5=6t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2\\\\t=0.569\ seconds

So, the time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the difference between center of mass and center of gravity?
sweet [91]

Answer:

Centre of mass is the point at which the distribution of mass is equal in all directions, and does not depend on gravitational field. Centre of gravity is the point at which the distribution of weight is equal in all directions, and does depend on gravitational field.
