The Pony Express was a mail delivery system in the Old West that used a series of men on horseback to deliver mail from St. Jose

ph, MO to Sacramento, CA along a trail that was 2000 miles long. True or false: If each rider traveled 100 miles, got a fresh horse every 10 miles, and maintained an average speed of 10 mi/hr, it took 150 horses for each delivery.A. TrueB. False

Answer:

the given statement is False

Explanation:

given,                                                          

distance of the trail = 2000 miles long          

each rider traveled = 100 miles                        

every fresh horse travel = 10 miles                    

to maintain speed of = 10 mile/hr                      

the given statement is                                            

150 horses is used for each delivery.                    

if each horse is allowed to travel 10 miles to travel

distance traveled using 150 horses = 150 x 10

                                                            = 1500 miles

to travel 2000 miles horse required is equal to 200.

so, the given statement is False

Using energy considerations, calculate the average force (in N) a 67.0 kg sprinter exerts backward on the track to accelerate fr
Illusion [34]

Answer:

F_{sprinter}=110.4N

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=67.0 kg

Final Speed vf=8.00 m/s

Initial Speed vi=2.00 m/s

Distance d=25.0 m

Force F=30.0 N

From work-energy theorem we know that the work done equals the change in kinetic energy

W=ΔK=Kf-Ki=1/2mvf²-1/2mvi²

And

W=F_{total}.d

So

W=1/2mv_{f}^2-1/2mv_{i}^2\\F_{total}=\frac{1/2mv_{f}^2-1/2mv_{i}^2}{d} \\F_{total}=\frac{1/2(67.0kg)(8.00m/s)^2-1/2(67.0kg)(2.00m/s)^2}{25.0m} \\F_{total}=80.4N

and we know that the force the sprinter exerted Fsprinter the force of the headwind Fwind=30.0N

So

F_{sprinter}=F_{total}+F_{wind}\\F_{sprinter}=80.4N+30N\\F_{sprinter}=110.4N

A rocket weighs 9800N (opposing force) what is it mass? What netforce moves the rocket? What applied force gives it a vertical a
Slav-nsk [51]

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.

For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!
