The wheels of a car have radius 12 in. and are rotating at 600 rpm. Find the speed of the car in mi/h.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

21.4 mph

Explanation:

Circumference of tire in FEET   = pi * d =  pi * 1 ft = pi  feet

pi feet  x  600 rot/min  *  60 min /hr  *  1 mile / 5280 feet = 21.4 mph

classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 128 feet per
ddd [48]

Answer:

t_1 = 0.28 s

t_2 = 7.72 s

Explanation:

Given that height of the projectile as a function of time is

h = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112

here we know that

h = 147 ft

so from above equation

147 = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112

16 t^2 - 128 t + 35 = 0

now by solving above quadratic equation we know that

t_1 = 0.28 s

t_2 = 7.72 s

Rotational dynamics about a fixed axis: A person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

I = 2 kgm^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the moment of inertia of the door, about the hinges, you use the following formula:

\tau=I\alpha     (1)

I: moment of inertia of the door

α: angular acceleration of the door = 2.00 rad/s^2

τ: torque exerted on the door

You can calculate the torque by using the information about the Force exerted on the door, and the distance to the hinges. You use the following formula:

\tau=Fd        (2)

F: force = 5.00 N

d: distance to the hinges = 0.800 m

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for α:

Fd=I\alpha\\\\I=\frac{Fd}{\alpha}

Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous equation for I:

I=\frac{(5.00N)(0.800m)}{2.00rad/s^2}=2kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the door around the hinges is 2 kgm^2
