Answer

given,

tourist travels = 1500 miles

second plane averages 50 miles per hour faster than the first plane.

x = y + 50

The tourist uses the slower plane for the first 500 and the faster plane for the next 1000 miles.

total flying time = 6.5 hours

\dfrac{500}{y} + \dfrac{1000}{x} = 6.5

\dfrac{500}{y} + \dfrac{1000}{y + 50} = 6.5

\dfrac{500(50 + y)+ 1000 y}{y(y + 50)} = 6.5

25000 + 600 y = 6.5 y^2 + 325 y

6.5 y^2 - 275 y - 25000 = 0

on solving equation

y = 86.67 mile/hr

x = 86.67 + 50

x = 136.67 mile/hr

Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm3, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

a) 578.0 cm²

b) 25.18 km

Explanation:

We're given the density and mass, so first calculate the volume.

D = M / V

V = M / D

V = (6.740 g) / (19.32 g/cm³)

V = 0.3489 cm³

a) The volume of any uniform flat shape (prism) is the area of the base times the thickness.

V = Ah

A = V / h

A = (0.3489 cm³) / (6.036×10⁻⁴ cm)

A = 578.0 cm²

b) The volume of a cylinder is pi times the square of the radius times the length.

V = πr²h

h = V / (πr²)

h = (0.3489 cm³) / (π (2.100×10⁻⁴ cm)²)

h = 2.518×10⁶ cm

h = 25.18 km

A ceiling fan has three blades. The moment of inertia of a blade is 0.2kgm^2. The net torque exerted on fan blades is 8Nm. Find
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

(A) the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

moment of inertia of a blade, I = 0.2 kgm²

net torque exerted on fan blades, ∑τ =  8Nm

Torque is given as product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration;

τ = Iα

where;

α is the angular acceleration

Since there are three blades of the ceiling fan, the net torque is given as;

∑τ = (3I)α

∑τ = 3Iα

α = ∑τ / 3I

α = (8) / (3 x 0.2)

α = 13.33 m/s

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.

When a body of mass 0.25 kg is attached to a vertical massless spring, it is extended 5.0 cm from its unstretched length of 4.0
lora16 [44]

Answer:

d=0.165m

Explanation:

Given

m=0.25kg,x_{1}=5cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.05m,x_{2}=4cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.04m,v=2\frac{rev}{s}

The tension of the spring is

F_{k}=K*x_{1}=m*g

K=\frac{m*g}{x_{1}}

K=\frac{0.25kg*9.8m/s^2}{0.05m}=49N/m

The force in the spring is equal to centripetal force so

F_{c}=\frac{m*v^2}{r}

v=w*r=2\pi*r

But Fc is also

Fc=KxΔr

F_{c}=K*(r-x_{2})

Replacing

m*4\pi^2*r=K*(r-x_{2})

0.25kg*4\pi^2*r=49*(r-0.04m)

r=0.205m

total distance is

d=0.205-0.04=0.165m
