Answer:

87.1 mph

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass,m=60 kg

Power,P=340 W

Speed,v=5 m/s

Area, $A=0.344 m^2$

Drag coefficient, $C_d=0.88$

Coefficient of rolling resistance, $\mu_r=0.007$

Friction force, $f=\mu_rmg=0.007\times 60\times 9.8=4.1 N$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Let speed of cyclist=v'

Drag force, $F_d=\frac{1}{2}\rho_{air}AC_dv^2$

Density of air, $\rho_{air}=1.225 kg/m^3$

$F_d=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.225\times 0.344\times 0.88(5)^2=4.635N$

Power,P= $(F_d+f)\times v'$

$340=(4.1+4.635) v'=8.735v'$

$v'=\frac{340}{8.735}=38.9m/s$

$v'=87.1 mph$

1 m=0.00062137 miles

During a tennis match, a player serves the ball at 27.4 m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally 2.34 m

Maurinko [17]

a. The ball's horizontal and vertical positions at time $t$ are given by

$x=\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t$

$y=2.34\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2$

The ball reaches the net when $x=12.0\,\rm m$ :

$12.0\,\mathrm m=\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\implies t=0.438\,\rm s$

At this time, the ball is at an altitude of

$2.34\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2\left(0.438\,\mathrm s\right)^2=1.40\,\mathrm m$

which is 1.40 m - 0.900 m = 0.500 m above the net.

b. The change in angle gives the ball the new position functions

$x=\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos(-5.00^\circ)t$

$y=2.34\,\mathrm m+\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin(-5.00^\circ)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

The ball reaches the net at time $t$ such that

$\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos(-5.00^\circ)t=12.0\,\mathrm m\implies t=0.440\,\mathrm s$

at which point the ball's vertical position would be

$2.34\,\mathrm m+\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin(-5.00^\circ)\left(0.440\,\mathrm s\right)-\dfrac g2\left(0.440\,\mathrm s\right)^2=0.343\,\mathrm m$

so that the ball does not clear the net with 0.343 m - 0.900 m = -0.557 m.

Which change will always result in an increase in the gravitational force between two objects?

lora16 [44]

The gravitational force of two objects, by definition, is given by:

$F = G * (\frac{m1m2}{d ^ 2})$

Where,

G: gravitational constant

m1: mass of object number 1.

m2: mass of object number 2.

d: distance between both objects.

Therefore, according to the given equation, a change that always results in an increase in gravitational force is:

Increase in the mass of the objects and decrease in the distance between them.

Answer:

A change that will always result in an increase in the gravitational force between two objects is:

Increase in the mass of the objects and decrease in the distance between them.

a ball is thrown horizontally from a 20 m high building with a speed of 5.0 m/s. How far from the base of the building does the

kipiarov [429]

Given:
Dy= 20 m
Vi = 5.0 m/s horizontally
A=9.81 m/s^2

Find:
Horizontal displacement

Solution:
D=ViT+(1/2)AT^2
Dy=(1/2)AT^2
T^2=Dy/(1/2)A
T=sqrt(Dy/(1/2)A)
T=sqrt(20/4.905)
T=2.0s

Dx=ViT
Dx=(5.0)(2.0)
Dx=10. meters
