How fast would you be going (in kmh) if you had a ship that accelerated at a constant 1g for 24 hours?

Physics

Nady [450]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

1 g is 9.8 m/s^2 the problem wants the results in km/h so we'll fix that really quick.

9.8 m/s^2 (1 km/1000m)(60 sec/1 min)^2(60 min/1 hour)^2 = 127008 km/hour^2

Now, I'm assuming the ship is starting from rest, and hopefully you know your physics equations.  We are going to use vf = vi + at.  Everything is just given, or we can assume, so I'll just solve.

vf = vi + at

vf = 0 + 127008 km/hour^2 * 24 hours

vf = 3,048,192 km/hour

If there's anything that doesn't make sense let me know.

A small block of mass 20.0 grams is moving to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 0.68 m/s. The block
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}

b) v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the lighter block, m'=0.02\kg

velocity of the lighter block, u'=0.68\ m.s^{-1}

mass of the heavier block, m=0.04\ kg

velocity of the heavier block, u=0\ m.s^{-1}

a)

Using conservation of linear momentum:

m'.u'+m.u=m'.v'+m.v

where:

v'= final velocity of the lighter block

v= final velocity of the heavier block

m'.u'=m'.v'+m.v

m'(u'-v')=m.v ........................(1)

Since kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collision:

\frac{1}{2}m'.u'^2=\frac{1}{2}m'.v'^2+\frac{1}{2}m.v^2

m'(u'^2-v'^2)=m.v^2

m'(u'-v')(u'+v')= m.v^2

divide the above equation by eq. (1)

v=u'+v' .............................(2)

now we substitute the value of v from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

m'(u'-v')=m(u'+v')

\frac{m'+m}{m'-m} =\frac{u'}{v'}

\frac{0.02+0.04}{0.02-0.04} =\frac{0.68}{v'}

v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1} (negative sign denotes that the direction is towards left)

b)

now we substitute the value of v' from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

m'(u'-v+u')=m.v

2m'.u'=(m-m')v

2\times 0.02\times 0.68=(0.04-0.02)\times v

v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}

How are balanced & unbalanced forces related to net force?
Levart [38]

Answer:

An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... A net force = unbalanced force. If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.

A truck is moving with a certain uniform velocity. It is accelerated uniformly by 0.75 m/s^2. After 20 seconds , the velocity be
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Vi = 5 m/s

Explanation:

let (a) acceleration = 0.75 m/s²

(t) time = 20 seconds

Vf = final velocity = 72 km/hr  (convert to m/s to units consistency = 20 m/s)

find Initial velocity (Vi)

       Vf - Vi

a =  -----------

             t

Vi = Vf - (a * t)  = 20 - (0.75 * 20)

Vi = 5 m/s

If the amplitude of a wave is 4 feet, what is the Wave Height?
Alexus [3.1K]

A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,
