Answer:

$U=5*10^7ft.Ib$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Weight $W= 10000bs$

Altitude $H=5000ft$

Speed $V=125kts\\1kts=0.514m/s\\V=125*0.514=>64.25m/s$

Generally the equation for Potential energy ids mathematically given as

$Potential\ Energy\ U=mgh$

$U=Wh$

$U=10000*5000$

$U=5*10^7ft.Ib$

Which of the following describes a condition in which an individual would not hear an echo?

IrinaVladis [17]

If the echo (the reflected sound) reaches your ear less than about
0.1 second after the original sound, your brain doesn't separate them,
and you're not aware of the echo even though it's there.

If the echo comes from, say, a wall, 0.1 second means you'd have to be
about 17 meters away from the wall. If you're closer than that, then the
echo reaches you in less than 0.1 second and you're not aware of it.

A. 30 meters . . .
   No. You hear that echo easily

B. you're standing within range of both sounds . . .
   No. You hear that echo easily, if you're at least 17 meters from the wall.

C. less than 0.1 second later . . .
   That's it. The echo is there but your brain doesn't know it.

D. 21.5 meters
   No. You hear that echo easily.

A hockey puck on a frozen pond is given an initial speed of 20.0 m/s. If the puck always remains on the ice and slides 115 m bef

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

μ_k = 0.1773

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial velocity;u = 20 m/s

Final velocity;v = 0 m/s (since it comes to rest)

Distance before coming to rest;s = 115 m

Let's find the acceleration using Newton's second law of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

Making a the subject, we have;

a = (v² - u²)/2s

Plugging relevant values;

a = (0² - 20²)/(2 × 115)

a = -400/230

a = -1.739 m/s²

From the question, the only force acting on the puck in the x direction is the force of friction. Since friction always opposes motion, we see that:

F_k = −ma - - - (1)

We also know that F_k is defined by;

F_k = μ_k•N

Where;

μ_k is coefficient of kinetic friction

N is normal force which is (mg)

Since gravity acts in the negative direction, the normal force will be positive.

Thus;

F_k = μ_k•mg - - - (2)

where g is acceleration due to gravity.

Thus,equating equation 1 and 2,we have;

−ma = μ_k•mg

m will cancel out to give;

-a = μ_k•g

μ_k = -a/g

g has a constant value of 9.81 m/s², so;

μ_k = - (-1.739/9.81)

μ_k = 0.1773

The radius of Venus (from the center to just above the atmosphere) is 6050 km (6050✕103 m), and its mass is 4.9✕1024 kg. An obje

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

(a) The initial speed required is 13116 m/s

(b) The escape speed is 10394 m/s

This problem involves the application of newtons laws of gravitation. The forces in action here are conservative and as a result mechanical energy is conserved.

The full calculation can be found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

In both parts (a) and (b) the energy conservation equation were used. Assumption was made that when the object is very far from the planet the distance from the planet's center approaches infinity and the gravitational potential energy approaches zero.

The calculation can be found below.

A man jogs at a speed of 1.6 m/s. His dog waits 1.8 s and then takes off running at a speed of 3 m/s to catch the man. How far w

inessss [21]

Answer:

The dog catches up with the man 6.1714m later.

Explanation:

The first thing to take into account is the speed formula. It is $v=\frac{d}{t}$ , where v is speed, d is distance and t is time. From this formula, we can get the distance formula by finding d, it is $d=v\cdot t$

Now, the distance equation for the man would be:

$d_{man}=v_{man}\cdot t=1.6\cdot t$

The distance equation for the dog would be obtained by the same way with just a little detail. The dog takes off running 1.8s after the man did. So, in the equation we must subtract 1.8 from t.

$d_{dog}=v_{dog}\cdot (t-1.8)=3\cdot (t-1.8)$
