What is the speed of a horse in meters per second that runs a distance of 1.2 miles in 2.4 minutes​

Physics

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]2 years ago
4 0
Time t=2.4 minutes=2.4×60=144 seconds
distance s=1.2 miles=1.2×1609=1930.8 meters
speed v=s/t=1930.8÷144=[tex] \frac{1930.8}{144} = \frac{160.9}{12} =[/13.408m/s ~nearly]

A camera takes a properly exposed photo with a 4.0 mm diameter aperture and a shutter speed of 1/1000 s. If the photographer foc
hoa [83]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

given,

diameter = 4 mm

shutter speed = 1/1000 s

diameter of aperture = ?

shutter speed = 1/250 s

exposure time to the shutter time

E V = log_2(\dfrac{N^2}{t})

N is the diameter of the aperture and t is the time of exposure

now,

log_2(\dfrac{N^2}{t_1})=log_2(\dfrac{N^2}{t_2})

\dfrac{N_1^2}{t_1}=\dfrac{N_2^2}{t_2}

inserting all the values

\dfrac{4^2}{1000}=\dfrac{N_2^2}{250}

      N₂² = 4

      N₂ = 2 mm

hence , the correct answer is option E

For a given initial projectile speed Vo, calculate what launch angle A gives the longest range R. Show your work, don't just quo
pickupchik [31]
The optimal angle of 45° for maximum horizontal range is only valid when initial height is the same as final height. 

<span>In that particular situation, you can prove it like this: </span>

<span>initial velocity is Vo </span>
<span>launch angle is α </span>

<span>initial vertical velocity is </span>
<span>Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>

<span>horizontal velocity is </span>
<span>Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>

<span>total time in the air is the the time it needs to fall back to a height of 0 m, so </span>
<span>d = v×t + a×t²/2 </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>d = distance = 0 m </span>
<span>v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>t = time = ? </span>
<span>a = acceleration by gravity = g (= -9.8 m/s²) </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 </span>
<span>0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t </span>
<span>t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 </span>
<span>t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>

<span>Now look at the horizontal range. </span>
<span>r = v × t </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>r = horizontal range = ? </span>
<span>v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) </span>
<span>r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g </span>

<span>To find the extreme values of r (minimum or maximum) with variable α, you must find the first derivative of r with respect to α, and set it equal to 0. </span>

<span>dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g </span>

<span>Vo and g are constants ≠ 0, so the only way for dr/dα to become 0 is when </span>
<span>cos(2α) = 0 </span>
<span>2α = 90° </span>
<span>α = 45° </span>

Why do we say that a spring is elastic? Why do we say that a spring is elastic? It does not obey Hooke's law. When deformed, it
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

When deformed, it returns to its original shape

Explanation:

  • A spring is elastic.  
  • Elasticity is the property of a material to regain its shape after having been deformed.
  • It means that when the force is doubled, the amount of deformation in it gets doubled.
  • Hence, the correct option is (b) " When deformed, it returns to its original shape".

inna [77]

The true statements are B and C.

This comes from the following facts:

Even when heat is added to a substance in a change of phase the temperature does not increases since this heat is latent heat.

A soccer ball is kicked; it comes to rest after rolling through the grass. Why is this not considered a violation of Newton's Fi
julsineya [31]

Newton's law states that objects at rest/motion will remain at rest/motion "UNLESS" a force is acted upon it.

So the soccer ball got kicked, and then came to rest. This doesn't state that the soccer ball was still rolling when the force of someone's foot kicked the ball.
