S(travel distance)=85 ft
v (velocity)=15 ft/s
-----------------------------------
t (time)=?

Calculate the time with the formula for the velocity:
v=S/t
t=S/v
t=85 ft/(15 ft/s)
t=5.666s

A 0.10 newton spring toy with a spring constant of 160 newtons per meter is compressed 0.05 meter before it is launched. When re
forsale [732]

Answer:

(1) V = 0.2 J (2) 0.05J

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

K = 160 N/m

x = 0.05 m

Now,

(1) we solve for the  initial potential energy stored

Thus,

V = 1/2 kx² = 0.5 * 160 * (0.05)²

Therefore V = 0.2 J

(2)Now, we solve for how much of the internal energy is produced as the toy springs up to its maximum height.

By using the energy conversion, we have the following

ΔV = mgh

=(0.1/9.8) * 9.8 * 1.5 = 0.15J

The internal energy = 0.2 -0.15

=0.05J

A roller coaster car speed is 4 m/s, but 3 seconds later its speed is 22 m/s. What is its average acceleration?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
The velocity increased from 4 m/s to 22 m/s in 3 seconds. 18 m/s in 3 seconds so the average acceleration is change in velocity divided by time. 18 m/s divided by 3 seconds = 6 m/s^2

When the play button is pressed, a CD accelerates uniformly from rest to 450 rev/min in 3.0 revolutions. If the CD has a radius
Marina CMI [18]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

Torque from the rotational movement is defined as

\tau = I\alpha

where

I = Moment of inertia \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mr^2 For a disk

\alpha = Angular acceleration

The angular acceleration at the same time can be defined as function of angular velocity and angular displacement (Without considering time) through the expression:

2 \alpha \theta = \omega_f^2-\omega_i^2

Where

\omega_{f,i} = Final and Initial Angular velocity

\alpha = Angular acceleration

\theta = Angular displacement

Our values are given as

\omega_i = 0 rad/s

\omega_f = 450rev/min (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})

\omega_f = 47.12rad/s

\theta = 3 rev (\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev}) \rightarrow 6\pi rad

r = 7cm = 7*10^{-2}m

m = 17g = 17*10^{-3}kg

Using the expression of angular acceleration we can find the to then find the torque, that is,

2\alpha\theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2

\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}

\alpha = \frac{47.12^2-0^2}{2*6\pi}

\alpha = 58.89rad/s^2

With the expression of the acceleration found it is now necessary to replace it on the torque equation and the respective moment of inertia for the disk, so

\tau = I\alpha

\tau = (\frac{1}{2}mr^2)\alpha

\tau = (\frac{1}{2}(17*10^{-3})(7*10^{-2})^2)(58.89)

\tau = 0.00245N\cdot m \approx 2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m

Therefore the torque exerted on it is 2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m

Evaporation of sweat cools the skin because
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: c. the molecules with the highest energy evaporate first, lowering the temperature of the sample

Explanation:

The process by which liquid starts to change into vapor phase at any temperature is known as evaporation.

During evaporation , the molecules which possess higher energies escape from the upper layer into vapor phase. the molecules which escape draw energy from surroundings and thus decrease the energy of the surroundings and hence lead to decrease in temperature.

As temperature of the system is directly proportional to the energy of the system , thus decrease in energy leads to decrease in temperature.

K.E=\frac{3RT}{2}

K.E. = Kinetic energy

T = temperature

R= gas constant
