Answer:

if no mistaken then it is 300kN

Explanation:

Using SI units (the default if a system is not specified) 200T = 200000kg as the mass of the whale, it would weigh 1960kN in 1g Earth gravity.

On the Moon, the acceleration is 0.166g, to it would weigh about 330kN.

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the mass of a whale is 200 tons on earth, and the moon has a lighter gravity compared to the earth is about 1/6 as powerful, the whale would weigh 33.33 tons with the last 3 repeating forever. so about 33 and one third ton on the moon.

This is talking about weight, which is how much it would take to lift this object, but the mass is the the same as mass isn't affected by gravity, only weight is affected by gravity.

Hope this helps!

To analyze the motion of a body that is traveling along a curved path, to determine the body's acceleration, velocity, and posit

DiKsa [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the kinematic equations of linear motion and centripetal motion. For this purpose we will be guided by the definitions of centripetal acceleration to relate it to the tangential velocity. With these equations we will also relate the linear velocity for which we will find the points determined by the statement. Our values are given as

$R = 350ft$

$a_t = 1.1ft/s^2$

PART A )

$a_c = \frac{V^2}{R}$

$a_c = \frac{V^2}{350}$

Calculate the velocity of the motorcycle when the net acceleration of the motorcycle is $5.25ft/s^2$

$a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

$5.25 = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(\frac{v^2}{350})^2}$

$27.5625 = 1.21 + \frac{v^4}{122500}$

$v=42.3877ft/s$

Now calculate the angular velocity of the motorcycle

$v = r\omega$

$42.3877 = 350\omega$

$\omega = 0.1211rad/s$

Calculate the angular acceleration of the motorcycle

$a_t = r\alpha$

$1.1 = 350\alpha$

$\alpha = 3.1428*10^{-3}rad/s^2$

Calculate the time needed by the motorcycle to reach an acceleration of

$5.25ft/s^2$

$\omega = \alpha t$

$0.1211 = 3.1428*10^{-3}t$

$t = 38.53s$

PART B) Calculate the velocity of the motorcycle when the net acceleration of the motorcycle is $6.75ft/s^2$

$a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

$6.75 = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(\frac{v^2}{350})^2}$

$45.5625 = 1.21 + \frac{v^4}{122500}$

$v=48.2796ft/s$

PART C)

Calculate the radial acceleration of the motorcycle when the velocity of the motorcycle is $21.5ft/s$

$a_r = \frac{v^2}{R}$

$a_r = \frac{21.5^2}{350}$

$a_r =1.3207ft/s^2$

Calculate the net acceleration of the motorcycle when the velocity of the motorcycle is $21.5ft/s$

$a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

$a = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(1.3207)^2}$

$a = 1.7187ft/s^2$

PART D) Calculate the maximum constant speed of the motorcycle when the maximum acceleration of the motorcycle is $6.75ft/s^2$

$a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

$6.75 = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(\frac{v^2}{350})^2}$

$45.5625 = 1.21 + \frac{v^4}{122500}$

$v=48.2796ft/s$

In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

W = 16.5 Kj

P = 49.9 Watt

E = 16471

Explanation:

m = 73.5kg

t = 5min 30sec = (5×60) + 30 = 330sec

each step = 16.6cm = 0.166m

h = 135×0.166 = 22.41 m

g = 10 m/s²

(i) W = F × s = W × h = mgh

W = 73.5×10×22.41 = 16471.35

W = 16.5 Kj

(ii) Power = workdone/time

P = 16471.35/330

P = 49.9 Watt

(iii) The energy burnt in this process = 16471
