Answer:

31.905 ft/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the pilot, m = 120 lb

Weight of the pilot, w = 119 lbf

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 32.05 ft/s²

Local acceleration of gravity of found by using the relation

Weight in lbf = Mass in lb * (local acceleration/32.174 lbft/s²)

119 = 120 * a/32. 174

119 * 32.174 = 120a

a = 3828.706 / 120

a = 31.905 ft/s²

Therefore, the local acceleration due to gravity at that elevation is 31.905 ft/s²

A bus leaves at 9 am with a group of tourists. They travel 350 km before they stop for lunch. Then they travel an additional 250
Anettt [7]

Average speed = Distance traveled / time taken

In this case Time taken = Difference in hours between 3 PM and 9 AM

                                        = 6 hours

Total distance traveled = 350 km + 250 km

                                       = 600 kilometers

So average speed = 600/6 = 100 km/hr

Average speed of bus = 27.78 m/s

So the bus's average speed = 27.78 m/s or 100 km/hr.

At $.110 per kWh, what does it cost to leave a 40-W porch light on day and night for a year?
nlexa [21]

The cost of electricity be  $ 38.544.

<h3>What is electricity?</h3>

Electricity is the passage of charges in a conductor. From one end of the terminal to the other, charges are transmitted. Usually, the terminal moves from positive to negative. Since the nucleus holds the electrons loosely, they can move freely throughout the body.

Watts are units of power used to measure electrical output. 

Price of electricity is $ 0.110 per kWh .

If a 40-W porch light on day and night for a year, total amount of electricity spend = power of the bulb × time

= 40 W × 1 year

= 40 W × 365 day

= 40 W × 365 ×24 h

= 350400 Wh

= 350.4 kWh.

Hence,  the cost of electricity be = $350.4 × 0.110 =  $ 38.544.

A bicycle with 0.80-m-diameter tires is coasting on a level road at 5.6 m/s . A small blue dot has been painted on the tread of
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

a)

14 rad/s

b)

11.2 m/s

Explanation:

a)

d = diameter of tire = 0.80 m

r = radius of tire = (0.5) d = (0.5) (0.80) = 0.40 m

v = speed of bicycle = 5.6 m/s

w = angular speed of the tire

Speed of cycle is given as

v = r w

5.6 = (0.40) w

w = 14 rad/s

b)

v' = speed of blue dot

Speed blue of dot is given as

v' = v + rw

v' = 5.6 + (0.40) (14)

v' = 11.2 m/s
