In a gear train with two gears, the gear ratio is defined as follows
where

is the angular velocity of the input gear while

is the angular velocity of the output gear.
This can be rewritten as a function of the number of teeth of the gears. In fact, the angular velocity of a gear is inversely proportional to the radius r of the gear:

But the radius is proportional to the number of teeth N of the gear. Therefore we can rewrite the gear ratio also as
Answer:
The answer is A. Which is true
Answer:
a) y= 3.5 10³ m, b) t = 64 s
Explanation:
a) For this exercise we use the vertical launch kinematics equation
Stage 1
y₁ = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²
y₁ = 0 + 0 + ½ a₁ t²
Let's calculate
y₁ = ½ 16 10²
y₁ = 800 m
At the end of this stage it has a speed
v₁ = vo + a₁ t₁
v₁ = 0 + 16 10
v₁ = 160 m / s
Stage 2
y₂ = y₁ + v₁ (t-t₀) + ½ a₂ (t-t₀)²
y₂ = 800 + 150 5 + ½ 11 5²
y₂ = 1092.5 m
Speed is
v₂ = v₁ + a₂ t
v₂ = 160 + 11 5
v₂ = 215 m / s
The rocket continues to follow until the speed reaches zero (v₃ = 0)
v₃² = v₂² - 2 g y₃
0 = v₂² - 2g y₃
y₃ = v₂² / 2g
y₃ = 215²/2 9.8
y₃ = 2358.4 m
The total height is
y = y₃ + y₂
y = 2358.4 + 1092.5
y = 3450.9 m
y= 3.5 10³ m
b) Flight time is the time to go up plus the time to go down
Let's look for the time of stage 3
v₃ = v₂ - g t₃
v₃ = 0
t₃ = v₂ / g
t₃ = 215 / 9.8
t₃ = 21.94 s
The time to climb is
= t₁ + t₂ + t₃
t_{s} = 10+ 5+ 21.94
t_{s} = 36.94 s
The time to descend from the maximum height is
y = v₀ t - ½ g t²
When it starts to slow down it's zero
y = - ½ g t_{b}²
t_{b} = √-2y / g
t_{b} = √(- 2 (-3450.9) /9.8)
t_{b} = 26.54 s
Flight time is the rise time plus the descent date
t = t_{s} + t_{b}
t = 36.94 + 26.54
t =63.84 s
t = 64 s
The answer is distressing
The average acceleration from 9 to 18 seconds is 6 meters per second.
The graph shows that from 9 to 18 seconds the speed of the ostrich stays at a steady 6 meters per second.
