A dandelion seed floats to the ground in a mild wind with a resultant velocity of 26.0 cm/s. If the horizontal component velocit

y due to the wind is 10.0 cm/s, what is the vertical component velocity? Show all work.

Answer:

24 cm/s

Explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²............. Equation 1

Where a = resultant, b = vertical component, c = horizontal component

From the question,

Given: a = 26 cm/s, c = 10 cm/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

26² = b²+10²

676 = b²+100

b² = 676-100

b² = 576

b = √576

b = 24 cm/s

How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per four seconds? (That is, one complete oscillation takes

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum T = 8 sec

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.81m/sec^2$

We have to find the length of the simple pendulum

We know that time period of the simple pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

$8=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81}}$

$l=3.987m$

So length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

Given that a pipe having a diameter of 1.5 feet and a height of 10 feet, what is the psi at 5 feet ?

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The pressure is 2.167 psi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 1.5 feet

Height = 10 feet

We need to calculate the psi at 5 feet

Using formula of pressure at a depth in a fluid

Suppose the fluid is water.

Then, the pressure is

$P=\rho g h$

Where, P = pressure

$\rho$ = density

h = height

Put the value into the formula

$P=1000\times9.8\times1.524$

$P=14935.2\ N/m^2$

Pressure in psi is

$P=2.166167621\ psi$

$P=2.167\ psi$

Hence, The pressure is 2.167 psi.

A car is traveling in uniform circular motion on a section of flat roadway whose radius is . The road is slippery, and the car i

Alona [7]

Answer:

The smallest radius will be four (4) times the initial radius

Explanation:

The car maintains a constant angular speed. According to Newton's Second Law F = m a

1. $F_{r}=m*A_{n}$

2. $A_{n}=\frac{v^2}{R_{p}}$

Replacing 2 in 1

3. $F_{r}=m*\frac{v^2}{R_{p}}$

Where:

Fr= Frictional force

Rp= Initial Radius

An= Centripetal Acceleration

M= Mass

V= Velocity

Also we have that:

4. $F_{r}=\mu *W=\mu*m*g$

μ= Coefficient of friction between the car and the surface

M= Mass

W= Weight

G= Gravity

r is cleared from equation 3

5. $R_{p}=m*\frac{v^2}{F_{r}}$

Replacing 4 in 5

6. $R_{p}=m*\frac{v^2}{\mu*m*g}$

Simplifying

7. $R_{p}=\frac{v^2}{\mu*g}$

Now we have a new velocity equal to twice the initial velocity, We replace it by 2v in equation 7

8. $R_{n}=\frac{(2v)^2}{\mu*g}$

Computing

9. $R_{n}=\frac{4v^2}{\mu*g}$

Replacing 5 in 9

$R_{n}=4*R_{p}$

A block slides down a slope inclined at 37 degrees. If the slope is frictionless and the block starts off at rest, how fast is i

lianna [129]

Answer:

Vf= 3.435 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity Vi =0 m/s (starting from Rest position)

θ = 37⁰

Distance S = 1 m

To find: Final Velocity Vf=?

fist we have to find the down slope net acceleration a = g sin θ

a= 9.81 sin 37⁰ = 5.9 m/s²

By 3rd equation of motion

2 a S= Vf² - Vi²

Vf = Square root ( 2 × 5.9 m/s² × 1 + 0 m/s)

Vf = Square root (11.8)

Vf= 3.435 m/s
