Answer:

To calculate anything - speed, acceleration, all that - we need <em>data</em>. The more data we have, and the more accurate that data is, the more accurate our calculations will be. To collect that data, we need to <em>measure </em>it somehow. To measure anything, we need tools and a method. Speed is a measure of distance over time, so we'll need tools for measuring <em>time </em>and <em>distance</em>, and a method for measuring each.

Conveniently, the lamp posts in this problem are equally spaced, and we can treat that spacing as our measuring stick. To measure speed, we'll need to bring time in somehow too, and that's where the stopwatch comes in. A good method might go like this:

  1. Press start on the stopwatch right as you pass a lamp post
  2. Each time you pass another lamp post, press the lap button on the stopwatch
  3. Press stop after however many lamp posts you'd like, making sure to hit stop right as you pass the last lamp post
  4. Record your data
  5. Calculate the time intervals for passing each lamp post using the lap data
  6. Calculate the average of all those invervals and divide by 40 m - this will give you an approximate average speed

Of course, you'll never find an *exact* amount, but the more data points you have, the better your approximation will become.

A 4.5-kg, three legged stool supports a 89-kg person. If each leg of the stool has a cross-sectional diameter of 2.8 cm and the
kkurt [141]

Answer:

4.96 × 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

F = mg

F = (m_{person}+m_{stool})g\\\\F =  (4.5 + 89)*9.8\\\\F = 916.3 N

This force is evenly distributed on the three leg

radius, r = d/2

= 2.8 / 2

= 1.4 cm = 0.014 m

total cross sectional area of the three legs, A = 3*pi*r^2

= 3\times\pi \times0.014^2\\\\= 1.847\times10^-^3m^2

Pressure due to weight,

P = Weight/A

P = / 1.847 × 10⁻³\\P = \frac{ 916.3N}{1.847\times10^-^3} \\\\P= 496032.9Pa

P = 4.96 × 10⁵ Pa

A helicopter has blades of length 4.0 m rotating at 3.0 rev/s in a horizontal plane.If the vertical component of the Earth’s mag
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Induced emf, \epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the helicopter, l = 4 m

Angular speed of the helicopter, \omega=3\ rev/s=18.84\ rad/s

The vertical component of the Earth’s magnetic field is, B=6.5\times 10^5\ T

We need to find the induced emf between the tip of a blade and the hub. The induced emf in terms of angular velocity of an rotating object is given by :

\epsilon=\dfrac{1}{2}B\omega l^2

\epsilon=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.5\times 10^5\times 18.84\times (4)^2

\epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts

So, the induced emf between the tip of a blade and the hub is \epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

a shell fired from a cannon at 60 ° from horizontal strikes a target 20m high at a distance 80m. Calculate the initial velocity
stich3 [128]

consider the motion along the X-direction

X = horizontal displacement = 80 m

V_{ox} = initial velocity along the x-direction = v Cos60

t = time of travel

using the equation

X = V_{ox}   t

80 = (v Cos60) (t)

t = 160/v                                         eq-1


consider the motion in vertical direction :

Y = vertical displacement = 20 m

V_{oy}  = initial velocity in Y-direction = v Sin60

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 160/v

using the equation

Y = V_{oy}  t + (0.5) a t²

20 = (v Sin60) (160/v) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (160/v)²

v = 32.5 m/s
