Answer:

31.3mph North

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance traveled  = 1500miles

Time taken  = 48hrs

Unknown:

Velocity of the group of explorers = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divided by the time taken. It is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.

 So;

       Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

Displacement is the distance moved in a specific direction = 1500miles North

 Insert the parameters and solve;

   Velocity = \frac{1500}{48}   = 31.3mph North

When you take your 1900-kg car out for a spin, you go around a corner of radius 55 m with a speed of 15 m/s. The coefficient of
pentagon [3]

Answer:

7772.72N

Explanation:

When u draw your FBD, you realize you have 3 forces (ignore the force the car produces), gravity, normal force and static friction. You also realize that gravity and normal force are in our out of the page  (drawn with a frame of reference above the car). So that leaves you with static friction in the centripetal direction.

Now which direction is the static friction, assume that it is pointing inward so

Fc=Fs=mv²/r=1900*15²/55=427500/55=7772.72N

Since the car is not skidding we do not have kinetic friction so there can only be static friction. One reason we do not use μFn is because that is the formula for maximum static friction, and the problem does not state there is maximum static friction.

What is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of mars? The radius of mars is 3.4×106m.
valkas [14]
<h2>Answer: 56.718 min</h2>

Explanation:

According to the Third Kepler’s Law of Planetary motion<em> </em><em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”. </em>

In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period T of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size a of its orbit.

This Law is originally expressed as follows:

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}   (1)

Where;

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}

M=6.39(10)^{23}kg is the mass of Mars

a=3.4(10)^{6}m  is the semimajor axis of the orbit the spacecraft describes around Mars (assuming it is a <u>circular orbit </u>and a <u>low orbit near the surface </u>as well, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)

If we want to find the period, we have to express equation (1) as written below and substitute all the values:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}}    (2)

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(6.39(10)^{23}kg)}(3.4(10)^{6}m)^{3}}    (3)

T=\sqrt{11581157.44 s^{2}}    (4)

Finally:

T=3403.1099s=56.718min    This is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of mars

A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 10 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed
Mashutka [201]

(a)

consider the motion of the tennis ball. lets assume the velocity of the tennis ball going towards the racket as positive and velocity of tennis ball going away from the racket as negative.

m = mass of the tennis ball = 60 g = 0.060 kg

v₀ = initial velocity of the tennis ball before being hit by racket = 20 m/s

v = final velocity of the tennis ball after being hit by racket = - 39 m/s

ΔP = change in momentum of the ball

change in momentum of the ball is given as

ΔP = m (v - v₀)

inserting the above values

ΔP = (0.060) (- 39 - 20)

ΔP = - 3.54 kgm/s

hence , magnitude of change in momentum : 3.54 kgm/s

the focal length of a simple magnifier is 8.50 cmcm . assume the magnifier to be a thin lens placed very close to the eye.
Igoryamba

When the object is at the focal point the angular magnification is 2.94.

Angular magnification:

The ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the image formed by an optical instrument to that subtended at the eye by the object when not viewed through the instrument.

Here we have to find the angular magnification when the object is at the focal point.

Focal length = 6.00 cm

Formula to calculate angular magnification:

Angular magnification = 25/f

                                            = 25/ 8.5

                                             = 2.94

Therefore the angular magnification of this thin lens is 2.94
