The speed of an aircraft is sometimes expressed as a mach number: mach 1 means that the speed is equal to the speed of sound. if

you wish to determine the speed of an aircraft going mach 2.2, for example, in meters per second or miles per hour, what additional information do you need?

<span>The speed of sound needs to be given, in the proper form. This will allow for the proper conversion (namely, a multiplication by the Mach rate) to find the actual speed that the aircraft is traveling, compared to how fast sound travels.</span>

A stone is dropped from a cliff and falls 9.44 meters. What is the speed of the stone when it reaches the ground?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,                                              

height of the drop of stone = 9.44 m

speed of the stone = ?                          

As the stone is dropped the energy of the stone will be conserved.

using conservation of energy.            

Potential energy = Kinetic energy    

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2} m v^2  

     v = \sqrt{2gh}                  

     v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 9.44}

     v = \sqrt{185.024}              

            v = 13.60 m/s                      

Hence, the correct answer is option A

How to find the velocity of an object in a circular path?
Luda [366]
First of all, let's just talk about the speed, and not get wound up
in the velocity. OK ?

If a fly is sitting on the rim of the wheel and the wheel is rotating, then for
each full revolution of the wheel, the fly travels the circumference of the
wheel, which is (2 π) x (radius of the wheel).

In 'N' revolutions, the fly travels (2 N π) x (the radius). and so on.

So if the wheel is going, let's say 71 revs per minute (RPM), a point
on the rim is moving at (2 π times 71) x (the radius) per minute.

Another way to say it:

Speed of a point on the circle = (2 π) x (rotation frequency) x (radius).

The 'rotation frequency' takes care of the unit of time, and the 'radius'
takes care of the unit of length, so the result is a speed.

Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range R = 9880 yards . Find its range in miles. Use the facts that 1mile=5280ft
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

If you do it in steps

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd = 29640 ft

R = 29640 ft / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

A 0.300 kg ball, moving with a speed of 2.5 m/s, has a head-on collision with at 0.600 kg ball initially at rest. Assuming a per
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of first ball=0.3 kg

Its speed before collision=2.5 m/s

Its speed after collision=2 m/s

Mass of second ball=0.6 kg

Momentum of 1st ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.3kg*2.5m/s

=0.75 kg m/s

Momentum of 2nd ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Since the first ball undergoes head on collision with the second ball,

momentum of first ball=momentum of second ball

0.75 kg m/s=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Velocity of 2nd ball=0.75 kg m/s ÷ 0.6 kg

=1.25 m/s

What is a Non-Example of Newton's 1st law?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Say a 14 year old girl was at a construction site and she was asked to move something like a 10,000 pound brick( one brick). She would be acting on it as the unbalanced force but they would still not change their position.

so to say the girl would be doing everything she could to move that brick but the brick would still be in that same spot so the unbalanced force (the girl) would be acting on the thing that was at rest but it wouldn't move.

so the unbalanced force would not really be acting on the thing at rest; even though the unbalanced force was doing something to the brick.

( just think about it and you will eventually get it...just imagine in your head...)
