Answer:

a) 15.78 mi/h/s

b) 7.105 m/s^2

Explanation:

a) It is given that speed changes from 0 to 60 miles per hour (mph)

Acceleration is equal to change in speed divided by time

$a = \frac{60-0}{3.8} \\a = 15.78$ mi/h/s

1 mile/h = 0.45 m/s

Acceleration in m/s^2

$15.78 * 0.45 = 7.105$ m/s^2

Patrick is repairing the roof on his house. He uses a hammer having a mass of 1 kilogram. While working at the apex of the roof,

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

72 joules

Explanation:

The potential energy of that hammer is a function of its displacement against gravity. Considering that it fell with a velocity of 12 m/s, it was its displacement against gravity that gave it this velocity. It will continue to move until its displacement to gravity is zero.

since the body is in motion; it has converted its potential energy (mgh, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height) to kinetic energy (energy due to motion, 1/2mv^2; m = mass, v = velocity or speed)

therefore the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 *1kg* 12*12 = 72 joules.

The Mars Curiosity rover was required to land on the surface of Mars with a velocity of 1 m/s. Given the mass of the landing veh

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The value is $A = 39315 \ m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The velocity which the rover is suppose to land with is $v = 1 \ m/s$

The mass of the rover and the parachute is $m = 2270 \ kg$

The drag coefficient is $C__{D}} = 0.5$

The atmospheric density of Earth is $\rho = 1.2 \ kg/m^3$

The acceleration due to gravity in Mars is $g_m = 3.689 \ m/s^2$

Generally the Mars atmosphere density is mathematically represented as

$\rho_m = 0.71 * \rho$

=> $\rho_m = 0.71 * 1.2$

=> $\rho_m = 0.852 \ kg/m^3$

Generally the drag force on the rover and the parachute is mathematically represented as

$F__{D}} = m * g_{m}$

=> $F__{D}} = 2270 * 3.689$

=> $F__{D}} = 8374 \ N$

Gnerally this drag force is mathematically represented as

$F__{D}} = C__{D}} * A * \frac{\rho_m * v^2 }{2}$

Here A is the frontal area

$A = \frac{2 * F__D }{ C__D} * \rho_m * v^2 }$

=> $A = \frac{2 * 8374 }{ 0.5 * 0.852 * 1 ^2 }$

=> $A = 39315 \ m^2$

What is the easiest way to increase the magnetic force acting on the rotor in an induction motor?

Schach [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnets are of two major forms namely the permanent magnet and the temporary magnets. Temporary magnets magnetizes and demagnetize easily while permanent magnets does not magnetizes and demagnetize easily.

This permanents magnets are applicable in loudspeakers, generators, induction motor etc.

To increase the

The following will tend to increase the magnetic force acting on the rotor in an induction motor.

1. Increasing the strength of the bar magnet. Increase in strength of the magnet will lead to increase in the magnetic force acting on the rotor.

2. Increase in the magnetic line of force also known as the magnetic flux around the magnet will also increase the magnetic force acting on the rotor.
