Answer:

A. speed = 7.14 Km/s

B. distance = 1820.7 Km

Explanation:

Given that: a = 14.0 m/s^{2}, t = 8.50 minutes.

But,

t = 8.50 = 8.50 x 60

  = 510 seconds

A. By applying the first equation of motion, the speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minutes can be determined by;

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

So that,

v = 14 x 510

 = 7140 m/s

The speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minute is 7.14 Km/s.

B. the distance traveled can be determined by applying second equation of motion.

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

where: s is the distance, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

s = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

  = \frac{1}{2} x 14 x (510)^{2}

 = 7 x 260100

 = 1820700 m

The distance that the shuttle has traveled during the given time is  1820.7 Km.

Why can friction make observing Newton's first law of motion difficult?
Kamila [148]
The law says things travel in a straight line at constant speed unless acted upon by a force.  But friction is a force but it can't be seen easily other than its effect, which is to bring the object to rest in seeming violation of the 1st law.

A brick is resting on a smooth wooden board that is at a 30° angle. What is one way to overcome the static friction that is hold
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

to overcome the out of friction we must increase the angle of the plane

Explanation:

To answer this exercise, let's propose the solution of the problem, write Newton's second law. We define a coordinate system where the x axis is parallel to the plane and the other axis is perpendicular to the plane.

X axis

       fr - Wₓ = m    a                      (1)

Y axis  

       N- W_{y} = 0

       N = W_{y}

let's use trigonometry to find the components of the weight

        sin θ = Wₓ / W

        cos θ = W_{y} / W

        Wₓ = W sin θ

        W_{y} = W cos θ

the friction force has the formula

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ Wy

         fr = μ mg cos θ

from equation 1

at the point where the force equals the maximum friction force

in this case the block is still still so a = 0

           F = fr

           F = (μ  mg) cos θ

We can see that the quantities in parentheses with constants, so as the angle increases, the applied force must be less.

This is the force that balances the friction force, any force slightly greater than F initiates the movement.

Consequently, to overcome the out of friction we must increase the angle of the plane

the correct answer is to increase the angle of the plane

sweet [91]

Answer:

a). 53.75 N and 101.92 N

b). 381.44 N and 723.25 N

Explanation:

V= 77 \frac{km}{h}* \frac{1h}{3600 s} *\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 21.38 \frac{m}{s} \\V=106 \frac{km}{h}* \frac{1h}{3600 s} *\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 29.44 \frac{m}{s}

a).

ρ= 1.2 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }, A_{t}= 0.7 m^{2}, D_{t}= 0.28

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * D_{t} * A_{t}* p_{t}* v_{t}^{2}

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.28 * 0.7m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 21.38^{2}= 53.75 N

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.28 * 0.7m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 29.44^{2}= 101.92 N

b).

ρ= 1.2 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }, A_{h}= 2.44 m^{2}, D_{h}= 0.57

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * D_{h} * A_{h}* p_{h}* v_{h}^{2}

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.57 * 2.44 m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 21.38^{2}= 381.44 N

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.57 * 2.44 m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 29.44^{2}= 723.25 N
