vagabundo [1.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

If T^2 = a^3

T1^2 / T2^2 = a1^3 / a2^3

Or T2^2 = T1^2 * ( a2^3 / a1^3)

Given T1 = 1 yr and a2 / a1 = 17

Then T2^2 = 1 * 17^3

or T2 = 70 yrs

A box of bananas weighing 40.0 N rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surfa
Burka [1]

Answer:

(a) = 0 N

(b) = 2.4 N

Explanation:

given

box of banana weight = 40.0 N

coefficient of static friction  μ = 0.40

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.20

a).  when no horizontal force is applied .

according to Newton 's third law of motion If there is no force applied to the box,so the frictional  force exerted is 0 N

b) magnitude of friction force

box and the box is initially at rest

    friction force =.Static friction coefficient × weight of the box

      friction force = 0.40 × 6

       friction force =  2.4 N

Human reaction times are worsened by alcohol. How much further (in feet) would a drunk driver's car travel before he hits the br
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

A drunk driver's car travel 49.13 ft further than a sober driver's car, before it hits the brakes

Explanation:

Distance covered by the car after application of brakes, until it stops can be found by using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

s = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a

where,  

Vf = Final Velocity of Car = 0 mi/h

Vi = Initial Velocity of Car = 50 mi/h

a = deceleration of car  

s = distance covered

Vf, Vi and a for both drivers is same as per the question. Therefore, distance covered by both car after application of brakes will also be same.

So, the difference in distance covered occurs before application of brakes during response time. Since, the car is in uniform speed before applying brakes. Therefore, following equation shall be used:

s = vt

FOR SOBER DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 0.33 s

s = s₁

Therefore,

s₁ = (73.33 ft/s)(0.33 s)

s₁ = 24.2 ft

FOR DRUNK DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 1 s

s = s₂

Therefore,

s₂ = (73.33 ft/s)(1 s)

s₂ = 73.33 ft

Now, the distance traveled by drunk driver's car further than sober driver's car is given by:

ΔS = s₂ - s₁

ΔS = 73.33 ft - 24.2 ft

<u>ΔS = 49.13 ft</u>

What often happens to light when it travels from one medium to another
quester [9]

Answer:

Although the speed changes and wavelength changes, the frequency of the light will be constant. The frequency, wavelength, and speed are related by: The change in speed that occurs when light passes from one medium to another is responsible for the bending of light, or refraction, that takes place at an interface.

the goat weighs 900 N and is 1 meter from the fulcrum. The strongman pulls down on the lever 3 meters from the fulcrum. What is
garik1379 [7]

Answer: The smallest effort = 300N

Explanation:

Using one of the condition for the attainment of equilibrium:

Clockwise moment = anticlockwise moments

900 × 1 = 3 × M

Where M = the weight of the strong man

3M = 900

M = 900/3 = 300N

Therefore, 300N is the smallest effort that the strongman can use to lift the goat
