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

1 hour=3600 s

A skier (m=59.0 kg) starts sliding down from the top of a ski jump with negligible friction and takes off horizontally. If h = 3
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

35.20 m

Explanation:

By the law of conservation of energy we have,

mg(H-h)=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

g(H-h)=\frac{1}{2}v^2

\Rightarrow H=\frac{v^2}{2g}+h

where m= mass of the skier, h= 3.00 m

D= horizontal distance=13.9 m

H= maximum height attained

Also, the horizontal distance covered by the skier is

D=vt

=v\frac{2g}{h}

\Rightarrow v^2=\frac{gD^2}{2h}

thus, height H in terms of D  is given by

H=\frac{D^2}{2h}+h

H=\frac{13.9^2}{2\times3}+3

H=35.20 m

The singing of an opera singer caused a drinking glass to shatter. Explain this using what you know about resonance.
rusak2 [61]

Explanation:

Resonance: Resonance is the phenomenon which occurs when the applied frequency on the object is equal to its natural frequency.

In the given problem, the singing of an opera singer caused a drinking glass to shatter.

This occurs due to the phenomenon resonance. The applied frequency of the singing of an opera singer on the drinking glass matches with the natural frequency of the drinking glass. It causes a glass to shatter.
