Answer:

a=3.53 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vo=0 m/s (because he is not moving at the start)

V1=15 m/s

t= 4.25 s

a = (V1-Vo) / t = 15/4.25 = 3.53 m/s^2

A roulette wheel with a 1.0m radius reaches a maximum angular speed of 18 rad/s before it stops 35 revolutions ( 220 rad ) after

Alex17521 [72]

Max ang. speed(u) = 18 rad/s
final ang. speed(v) = 0
ang. displacement(s) = 220 rad

ang. acceleration = (v^2 - u^2)/2s = -18^2 / 2*220 = -0.7364 rad/s^2

v = u +at
0 = 18 - 0.7364t
t = 18/0.7364
t = 24.44 seconds

Two forces are applied on a body. One produces a force of 480-N directly forward while the other gives a 513-N force at 32.4-deg

n200080 [17]

Answer:

F = (913.14 , 274.87 )

|F| = 953.61 direction 16.71°

Explanation:

To calculate the resultant force you take into account both x and y component of the implied forces:

$\Sigma F_x=480N+513Ncos(32.4\°)=913.14N\\\\\Sigma F_y=513sin(32.4\°)=274.87N$

Thus, the net force over the body is:

$F=(913.14N)\hat{i}+(274.87N)\hat{j}$

Next, you calculate the magnitude of the force:

$F=\sqrt{(913.14N)+(274.87N)^2}=953.61N$

and the direction is:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{274.14N}{913.14N})=16.71\°$

Work is done when spring is extended or compressed. Elastic potential energy is stored in the spring. Provided inelastic deformation has not happened, the work done is equal to the elastic potential energy stored.

A bee wants to fly to a flower located due North of the hive on a windy day. The wind blows from East to West at speed 6.68 m/s.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: $53.31\°$ East of North

Explanation:

We have the following data:

Speed of the wind from East to West: $6.68 m/s$

Speed of the bee relative to the air: $8.33 m/s$

If we graph these speeds (which in fact are velocities because are vectors) in a vector diagram, we will have a right triangle in which the airspeed of the bee (its speed relative to te air) is the hypotense and the two sides of the triangle will be the <u>Speed of the wind from East to West</u> (in the horintal part) and the <u>speed due North relative to the ground</u> (in the vertical part).

Now, we need to find the direction the bee should fly directly to the flower (due North):

$sin \theta=\frac{Windspeed-from-East-to-West}{Speed-bee-relative-to-air}$

$sin \theta=\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s}$

Clearing $\theta$ :

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s})$

$\theta=53.31\°$
