It is your parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary and you thought it would be special to throw them a surprise party. Your entire fam

ily is up north at your Traverse City cottage (240 miles from your home) and you plan on waking up early Saturday morning to drive home and set up for the party. You wake up at 10:00 am to head out but to your surprise your parents decide on leaving at 11:00 am instead of 1:00 pm like they originally planned. Your father ALWAYS drives 60 miles per hour on the expressway and it will take you about 2 hours to set up for the party. How fast must you drive in order to get home in enough time to make the surprise a success? Show your work.

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.

A 400-n block is dragged along a horizontal surface by an applied force as shown. the coefficient of kinetic friction is uk = 0.
gulaghasi [49]
The block moves with constant velocity: for Newton's second law, this means that the resultant of the forces acting on the block is zero, because the acceleration is zero.

We are only concerned about the horizontal direction, and there are only two forces acting along this direction: the force F pushing the block and the frictional force F_f acting against the motion. Since their resultant must be zero, we have:
F-F_f = 0
The frictional force is
F_f = \mu mg
where
\mu=0.4 is the coefficient of kinetic friction
mg=400 N is the weight of the block. 

Substituting these values, we find the magnitude of the force F:
F=F_f = \mu mg=(0.4 )(400 N)=160 N

A 1022kg Caprice car stopped at an intersection is rear-ended by a 1620kg ranger truck moving with a speed of 14.5m/s. If the ca
Alika [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1022 kg

mass of truck, M = 1620 kg

initial velocity of truck, U = 14.5 m/s

initial velocity of car, u = 0 m/s

Let the final velocity of car is v and the final velocity of truck is V.

Collision is elastic, so the coefficient of restitution, e = 1

Use conservation of momentum

initial momentum of car + initial momentum of truck = final momentum of car + final momentum of truck

m x u + M x U = m x v + M x V

0 + 1620 x 14.5 = 1022 v + 1620 V

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 V ..... (1)

Use the formula of coefficient of restitution

e = \frac{V_{1}-V_{2}}{u_{2}-u_{1}}

1 (14.5 - 0) = v - V

14.5 = v - V

V = v - 14.5 .... (2)

Put in equation (1)

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 (v - 14.5)

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 v - 23490

46980 = 2642 v

v = 17.8 m/s

Put in equation (2)

V = 17.8 - 14.5

V = 3.3 m/s

Thus, the speed of car is 17.8 m/s and the velocity of truck is 3.3 m/s after collision.

Starting from rest, a solid sphere rolls without slipping down an incline plane. At the bottom of the incline, what does the ang
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w

Explanation:

Assume:

- The cylinder with mass m

- The radius of cylinder R

- Distance traveled down the slope is s

- The angular speed at bottom of slope w

- The slope of the plane θ

- Frictionless surface.

Solution:

- Using energy principle at top and bottom of the slope. The exchange of gravitational potential energy at height h, and kinetic energy at the bottom of slope.

                                         ΔPE = ΔKE

- The change in gravitational potential energy is given as m*g*h.

- The kinetic energy of the cylinder at the bottom is given as rotational motion: 0.5*I*w^2

- Where I is the moment of inertia of the cylinder I = 0.5*m*R^2

We have:

                              m*g*s*sin(θ) = 0.25*m*R^2*w^2

                              2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w

- The angular velocity depends on plane geometry θ , distance travelled down slope s, Radius of the cylinder R , and gravitational acceleration g
