Answer:

201.5537 mph

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 90.1 m/s

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = distance/time

To convert this value into miles per hour;

Conversion;

1 meter = 0.000621 mile

90.1 meters = 90.1 * 0.000621 = 0.05595 miles

1 metre per second = 2.237 miles per hour

90.1 meters per seconds = 90.1 * 2.237 = 201.5537 miles per hour

90.1 m/s = 201.5537 mph

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w

Explanation:

Assume:

- The cylinder with mass m

- The radius of cylinder R

- Distance traveled down the slope is s

- The angular speed at bottom of slope w

- The slope of the plane θ

- Frictionless surface.

Solution:

- Using energy principle at top and bottom of the slope. The exchange of gravitational potential energy at height h, and kinetic energy at the bottom of slope.

ΔPE = ΔKE

- The change in gravitational potential energy is given as m*g*h.

- The kinetic energy of the cylinder at the bottom is given as rotational motion: 0.5*I*w^2

- Where I is the moment of inertia of the cylinder I = 0.5*m*R^2

We have:

m*g*s*sin(θ) = 0.25*m*R^2*w^2

2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w

- The angular velocity depends on plane geometry θ , distance travelled down slope s, Radius of the cylinder R , and gravitational acceleration g

A crowbar 2727 in. long is pivoted 66 in. from the end. What force must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600600 lb

NikAS [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to equilibrium, for this specific case, through the sum of torques.

$\sum \tau = F*d$

If the distance in which the 600lb are applied is 6in, we will have to add the unknown Force sum, at a distance of 27in - 6in will be equivalent to that required to move the object. So,

$F*(27-6)= 6*600$

$F = \frac{6*600}{21}$

$F= 171.42 lb$

So, Force that must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600lb object to the short end is 171.42lb

What is the distance of separation between objects of masses 5.6 x 10 5 kg and 8.8 x 10 6 kg if the force of gravity between the

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

2.87m

Explanation:

Using the law of gravitation to solve this question

F = GMm/r²

G is the gravitational constant

M and m are the masses

r is the distance between the masses

Substitute the given values

G = 6.67×10^-11 m³/kgs²

M =8.8 x 10^6 kg

m = 5.6 x 10^5 kg

F =440N

400 = 6.67×10^-11×8.8 x 10^6 ×5.6 x 10^5/r²

400r² = 328.698×10

400r² = 3286.98

r² = 3286.98/400

r² = 8.21745

r = √8.21745

r = 2.87m

Hence the distance of separation is 2.87m
