A movie stunt double is supposed to run across the top of a train (in the opposite direction that the train is moving) and just

barely jump off before reaching a tunnel, but after reaching the end of the train (starting from the front). If the train is moving at 150 km/hr, is 2 km long and the tunnel is 20 km away from the end (where the stunt double is going to jump from), how fast (in km/hr) will the stunt double need to run

Answer:

the required speed/velocity of the stunt double is 13.633 km/h

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

velocity of train V = 150 km/h

distance = length of train + distance between the tunnel and the end

= 2 km + 20 km = 22 km

first we calculate time t taken by the train to reach the tunnel;

t = distance / velocity

we substitute

t = 22 km / 250 km/h

t = 0.1467 hr

so the velocity of the of the stunt double will be;

velocity = distance / time

we substitute

velocity = 2 km / 0.1467 hr

velocity = 13.633 km/h

Therefore, the required speed/velocity of the stunt double is 13.633 km/h

A 1.20 kg solid ball of radius 40 cm rolls down a 5.20 m long incline of 25 degrees. Ignoring any loss due to friction, how fast
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

1.6s

Explanation:

Given that A 1.20 kg solid ball of radius 40 cm rolls down a 5.20 m long incline of 25 degrees. Ignoring any loss due to friction,

To know how fast the ball will roll when it reaches the bottom of the incline, we need to calculate the acceleration at which it is rolling.

Since the frictional force is negligible, at the top of the incline plane, the potential energy = mgh

Where h = 5.2sin25

h = 2.2 m

P.E = 1.2 × 9.8 × 2.2

P.E = 25.84 j

At the bottom, K.E = P.E

1/2mv^2 = 25.84

Substitutes mass into the formula

1.2 × V^2 = 51.69

V^2 = 51.69/1.2

V^2 = 43.07

V = 6.56 m/s

Using the third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

Since the object started from rest,

U = 0

6.56^2 = 2 × a × 5.2

43.07 = 10.4a

a = 43.07/10.4

a = 4.14 m/s^2

Using the first equation of motion,

V = U + at

Where U = 0

6.56 = 4.14t

t = 6.56/4.14

t = 1.58s

Therefore, the time the ball rolls when it reaches the bottom of the incline is approximately 1.6s

If the pull force on a cardboard box is 700 N and the friction force on it is 215 N, what is the net force on the object?
Svet_ta [14]
Net force = Pull force - Friction (Opposing force) = 700 - 215 = 485 N

A gas is compressed to 75cm3 to a volume of 30cm3. Its temperature remains the same The pressure of the gas after it has been co
kogti [31]

Given parameters:

Initial volume  = 75cm³

New volume  = 30cm³

New pressure  = 110Pa

Unknown:

Initial pressure = ?

Solution:

Condition: temperature is constant

We simply apply Boyle's law to this problem:

   " the volume of a fixed mass(mole) of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant".

  Mathematically;

          P₁ V₁  = P₂ V₂

where P and V are pressure and volume values

          1 and 2 are the initial and final states.

Input the parameters and solve for P₁;

     P₁ x 75  = 110 x 30

   P₁ = 44Pa

         

The initial pressure is 44Pa
