A biker first accelerates from 0.0 m/s to 6.0 m/s in 6 s, then continues at this speed for 5 s. What is the total distance trave

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

48m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Final velocity = 6m/s

Time, t = 6 secs

Time, T2 = 5 secs

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

$Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}$

Substituting into the equation;

$a = \frac{6 - 0}{6}$

$a = \frac{6}{6}$

Acceleration, a = 1m/s²

To find the distance covered in the first phase;

Solving for distance, we would use the second equation of motion;

$S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}$

Substituting the values into the equation;

$S = 0(6) + \frac {1}{2}*1*(6)^{2}$

$S = 0 + \frac {1}{2}*1*36$

$S = 0.5 *36$

Distance, S1 = 18m

For the second phase, time T2 = 5 secs;

Mathematically, speed is given by the equation;

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Making distance the subject of formula, we have;

$Distance, S = speed * time$

Substituting into the above equation;

$Distance, S = 6 * 5$

Distance, S2 = 30m

Total distance = S1 + S2 = 18m + 30m = 48m

Total distance = 48m

Therefore, the total distance traveled by the biker is 48m.

if you use the compound pulley, you will need to pull twice the distance but with less force. the force you need is equal to one

algol13

Answer:

F= 25/2 = 12.5N

Explanation:

When you use a compound pulley the force required depends on the mechanical advantage of the compound pulley. This is known as rate of loss of distance or the ratio of the force to the load.

M.A = Effort distance /Load distance. OR M.A = Load/Effort

A skier of mass 82.9 kg starts from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of height 20 m. At the bottom of the incline, the

ehidna [41]

Answer: 170.67 N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of skier is $m=82.9\ kg$

Height of the inclination is $h=20\ m$

Here, the potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy which is consumed by the friction force by applying a constant force that does work to stop the skier.

$\Rightarrow mgh=F\cdot x\quad \quad [\text{F=constant friction force}]\\\\\Rightarrow 82.9\times 9.8\times 20=F\cdot 95.2\\\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{16,248.4}{95.2}\\\\\Rightarrow F=170.67\ N$

Thus, the horizontal friction force is 170.67 N.

A heavy solid disk rotating freely and slowed only by friction applied at its outer edge takes 120 seconds to come to a stop.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The time is 16 min.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 120 sec

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2$

If the disk had twice the radius and twice the mass

The new moment of inertia

$I'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times2M\times(2R)^2$

$I'=8I$

We know,

The torque is

$\tau=F\times R$

We need to calculate the initial rotation acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

$\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}$

Put the value in to the formula

$\alpha=\dfrac{F\times R}{\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{2F}{MR}$

We need to calculate the new rotation acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

$\alpha'=\dfrac{\tau}{I'}$

Put the value in to the formula

$\alpha=\dfrac{F\times R}{8\times\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{2F}{8MR}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{\alpha}{8}$

Rotation speed is same.

We need to calculate the time

Using formula angular velocity

$\Omega=\omega'$

$\alpha\time t=\alpha'\times t'$

Put the value into the formula

$\alpha\times120=\dfrac{\alpha}{8}\times t'$

$t'=960\ sec$

$t'=16\ min$

Hence, The time is 16 min.

Hello everyone Lubricants are used in machines.Why?Hope u will answer it good day.Thank You✌️

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Lubrication is used to reduce friction. It is generally used for moving machine parts. The lubricants are the substances which are used to reduce the friction which acts between two surfaces in contact, between which relative motion can occur.
