Many people love roller coasters. Some people call them scream machines. They agree that riding a roller coaster is a thrilling

experience. What you may not realize while you are going 60 miles an hour is that a roller coaster has no engine. You are not being propelled around the track by a motor or pulled by anything. A roller coaster moves on its own. How do you think that can happen?

The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed south, and its airspeed indicator shows 28 m/s . the plane is in a 18 m/s wind blowin
leva [86]
<span>Here I think you have to find the velocity in x and y components where x is east and y is north
 So as air speed indicator shows the negative speed in y component and adding it in
  air speed while multiplying with the direction component we will get the velocity as velocity is a vector quantity so direction is also required
 v=-28 m/s y + 18 m/s (- x/sqrt(2) - y/sqrt(2))
 solving
  v= -12.7 m/s x-40.7 m/s y
 if magnitude of velocity or speed is required then
  speed= sqrt(12.7^2 + 40.7^2)
 speed= 42.63 m/s
 if angle is asked
  angle = arctan (40.7/12.7)
 angle = 72.67 degrees south of west</span>

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

θ=142.9°

Explanation:

d=1 *r

angle ϕ= 37.1°

the line connecting pebble and target should be tangent to a circle so

cos(180-ϕ-θ)=\frac{r}{d}=\frac{1}{1}

∴ θ=180-ϕ-cos^{-1} (\frac{1}{1} )

  θ= 180-37.1-0

  θ=142.9°

bulgar [2K]

The SI unit of force is the Newton.

1 newton is the force that accelerates a 1 kilogram mass
at the rate of 1 meter per second².

1 pound of force is equivalent to roughly  4.448 newtons.

(1 newton is equivalent to roughly  0.225  pounds of force.)

What average force is needed to accelerate a 7.00-gram pellet from rest to 155 m/s over a distance of 0.600 m along the barrel o
leonid [27]

Answer: The force needed is 140.22 Newtons.

Explanation:

The key assumption in this problem is that the acceleration is constant along the path of the barrel bringing the pellet from velocity 0 to 155 m/s. This means the velocity is linearly increasing in time.

The force exerted on the pellet is

F = m a

In order to calculate the acceleration, given the displacement d,  

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\implies a=\frac{2d}{t^2}

we will need to determine the time t it took for the pellet to make the distance through the barrel of 0.6m. That time can be determined using the average velocity of the pellet while traveling through the barrel. Since the velocity is a linear function of time, as mentioned above, the average is easy to calculate as:

\overline{v}=\frac{1}{2}(v_{end}-v_{start})=\frac{1}{2}(155-0)\frac{m}{s}=77.5\frac{m}{s}

This value can be used to determine the time for the pellet through the barrel:

t = \frac{d}{\overline{v}}=\frac{0.6m}{77.5\frac{m}{s}}\approx0.00774s

Finally, we can use the above to calculate the force:

F = ma = m\frac{2d}{t^2} = 0.007kg\cdot \frac{2\cdot 0.6 m}{0.00774^2 s^2}\approx 140.22N
