Answer:

The cloud moves 9050 meters to the east in 12.5 minutes.

Explanation:

Let suppose that mass of the cloud is negligible. meaning that effects of gravity are negligible and that altitude of the cloud remains constant. If the cloud drifts at constant velocity, travelled distance is defined by following formula:

$\Delta s = v\cdot \Delta t$ (1)

Where:

$v$ - Velocity, in meters per second.

$\Delta t$ - Time, in seconds.

If we know that $v = 724\,\frac{m}{min}$ and $\Delta t = 12.5\,min$ , then the travelled distance after 12.5 minutes is:

$\Delta s = 9050\,m$

The cloud moves 9050 meters to the east in 12.5 minutes.

A block of ice with mass 2.00 kg slides 0.750 m down an inclined plane that slopes downward at an angle of 36.9 degrees below th

Answer: $V_{f}=2.96m/s$

Firstly we have to draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD) as shown in the figure attached.

Where the weight $w$ of the block has an x-component and y-component:

$w_{x}=wsin(\theta)$ (1)

$w_{y}=wcos(\theta)$ (2)

As well as the Normal Force $N$ :

$N_{x}=Nsin(\theta)$ (3)

$N_{y}=Ncos(\theta)$ (4)

In addition, we know $N=w$ , then $\sum F_{y}=0$

In the X-component:

$\sum F_{x}=m.a$

$m.a=w_{x}$ (5)

Substituting (1) in (5):

$wsin(\theta)=m.a$ (6)

In addition, we know $w=m.g$ , where $m$ is the mass of the block and $g$ the gravity acceleration, which is equal to $9.8m/{s}^{2}$

So:

$m.g.sin(\theta)=m.a$ (7)

$a=g.sin(\theta)$ (8)

$a=5.88m/{s}^{2}$ (9) >>>>This is the acceleration of the block

On the other hand, we have the following equation that expresses a <u>relation between</u> the distance $d$ with the acceleration $a$ and time $t$ :

$d=\frac{1}{2}a{t}^{2}$ (10)

We already know the value of $d$ and calculated $a$ , we have to find $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (11)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.75m)}{5.88m/{s}^{2}}}$ (12)

$t=0.50s$ (13) >>>This is the time it takes to the block to go from the initial velocity $V_{o}$ to its final velocity $V_{f}$

If the acceleration is the variation of the velocity in time, we can use the following equation to find $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}-V_{o}=a.t$ (13)

If $V_{o}=0$

$V_{f}=a.t$ (14)

$V_{f}=(5.88m/{s}^{2})(0.50s)$ (15)

Finally we get the value of the Final Velocity of the block:

$V_{f}=2.96m/s$

Water is flowing in a pipe with a circular cross section but with varying cross-sectional area, and at all points the water comp

slamgirl [31]

(a) 5.66 m/s

The flow rate of the water in the pipe is given by

$Q=Av$

where

Q is the flow rate

A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe

v is the speed of the water

Here we have

$Q=1.20 m^3/s$

the radius of the pipe is

r = 0.260 m

So the cross-sectional area is

$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.260 m)^2=0.212 m^2$

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the water:

$v=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{1.20 m^3/s}{0.212 m^2}=5.66 m/s$

(b) 0.326 m

The flow rate along the pipe is conserved, so we can write:

$Q_1 = Q_2\\A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

where we have

$A_1 = 0.212 m^2\\v_1 = 5.66 m/s\\v_2 = 3.60 m/s$

and where $A_2$ is the cross-sectional area of the pipe at the second point.

Solving for A2,

$A_2 = \frac{A_1 v_1}{v_2}=\frac{(0.212 m^2)(5.66 m/s)}{3.60 m/s}=0.333 m^2$

And finally we can find the radius of the pipe at that point:

$A_2 = \pi r_2^2\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{A_2}{\pi}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.333 m^2}{\pi}}=0.326 m$

Two football players are pushing a 60 kg blocking sled across the field at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s. The coefficient of kinet

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The sled slides d=0.155 meters before rest.

Explanation:

m= 60 kg

V= 2 m/s

μ= 0.3

g= 9.8 m/s²

W= m * g

W= 588 N

Fr= μ* W

Fr= 176.4 N

∑F = m * a

a= (W+Fr)/m

a= 12.74m/s²

t= V/a

t= 0.156 s

d= V*t - a*t²/2

d= 0.155 m
