Answer:
a) 4.40 s
b) 2.20 s
Explanation:
Given parameters are:
At constant power ,
initial speed of the car,
final speed of the car, mph
At full power,
initial speed of the car,
final speed of the car, mph
a)
At constant power,
At full power,
So
So, time to reach 64 mph speed is 4 times more than the initial time
s
b)
For final 64 mph speed,
= s
Answer:
429 m
Explanation:
In this exercise you are suppose to simulate a right triangle, the catheti are the distance you walked and the height of the empire state building.
tan(88) = (height) /(distance you walked)
28.64 = height / 15
height = 429 m
We are given that a 500 kg object is hanging from a spring. To determine the amount the spring is stretched we will use Hook's law, which states the following:
Where:
Since the object is hanging the only force acting on the spring is the weight of the object. The weight of the object is:
Where:
Plugging in the values we get:
Solving the operations:
Now we solve for "x" from Hook's law by dividing both sides by "k":
Now we plug in the known values:
Solving the operations:
Therefore, the spring is stretched by 5.4 meters.
