An airplane accelerates from a speed of 88m/s to a speed of 132 m/s during a 15 second time interval. How far did the airplane t
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

1650\:\mathrm{m}

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematics equations to solve this problem:

v_f=v_i+at,\\{v_f}^2={v_i}^2+2a\Delta x.

Using the first one to solve for acceleration:

132=88+a(15),\\15a=44,\\a=\frac{44}{15}=2.9\bar{3}\:\mathrm{m/s^2}.

Now we can use the second equation to solve for the distance travelled by the airplane:

132^2=88^2+2\cdot2.9\bar{3}\cdot \Delta x,\\\Delta x= \frac{9680}{2\cdot2.9\bar{3}},\\\Delta x =\fbox{$ 1650\:\mathrm{m}$}(three significant figures).

In about 5 billion years, at the end of its lifetime, our sun will end up as a white dwarf, having about the same mass as it doe
vitfil [10]
It is fine to use the equation given by Plitter, since we are told that the mass is about the same as it is now, and I seriously doubt the original question wants the student to go into relativistic effects, electron degeneracy pressure and magnetic effects that govern a real white dwarf star.
There is no need to make it unnecessarily complicated, when the question is set at high school level.  The question asks, given a particular radius, and a given mass, what will the density be (which in this case will be the average density).   To answer the question, one needs to know the mass of the sun (which is about 2×1030 Kg.  One needs to convert the diameter to a radius, and then calculate the spherical volume of the white dwarf.  Then one can use the formula given above, namely density=mass/volume

A substance has a volume of 10.0 cm3 and a mass of 89 grams. What is its density?
vovikov84 [41]
Density = mass / volume

D = 89 / 10.0

D = 8.9 g/cm³

hope this helps!

You have a grindstone (a disk) that is 90.0 kg, has a 0.340-m radius, and is turning at 90.0 rpm, and you press a steel axe agai
QveST [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given mass of grindstone m=90\ kg

radius of stone r=0.34\ m

angular speed of disc \omega =90\ rpm

Steel Axle applying a force of F=20\ N

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu =0.2

Frictional Torque applied by steel is given by

\tau=r\times f_r

\tau =r\times \mu F

where f_r=frictional force

\tau =r\times \mu \times F

\tau =0.34\times 0.2\times 20

\tau =1.36\ N-m

Torque is also given by

\tau =I\cdot \alpha

where \alpha=angular acceleration

I=moment of Inertia

\tau =0.5Mr^2\times \alpha

0.5Mr^2\times \alpha =1.36\ N-m

0.5\times 90\times 0.34^2\times \alpha =1.36

\alpha =0.261\ rad/s^2
