In 1990, Dave Campos of the United States rode a special motorcycle called the Easyrider at an average speed of 518 km/h. Suppos

e that at some point Campos steadily decreases his speed from 100.0 percent to 60.0 percent of his average speed during an interval of 2.00 min. What is the distance traveled during that time interval?​

The distance travelled during the given time can be found out by using the equations of motion.

The distance traveled during the time interval is "13810.8 m".

First, we will find the deceleration of the motorcycle by using the first <em>equation of motion</em>:

v_f=v_it+at\\\\

where,

vi = initial velocity = (518 km/h)(\frac{1\ h}{3600\ s})(\frac{1000\ m}{1\ km}) = 143.89 m/s

vf = final veocity = 60 % of 143.89 m/s = (0.6)(143.89 m/s) = 86.33 m/s

a = deceleration = ?

t =time interval = 2 min = 120 s

Therefore,

86.33\ m/s = 143.89\ m/s + a(120\ s)\\\\a = \frac{86.33\ m/s - 143.89\ m/s}{120\ s}

a = -0.48 m/s²

Now, we will use the second <em>equation of motion </em>to find out the distance traveled (s):

s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\s = (143.89\ m/s)(120\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(-0.48\ m/s^2)(120\ s)^2\\\\s = 17266.8\ m - 3456\ m

<u>s = 13810.8 m = 13.81 km</u>

leonid [27]

Answer:

1) I = \frac{3}{10}\cdot m\cdot r^{2}, 2) K = \frac{1}{10}\cdot m \cdot (b^{2}+c^{2})

Explanation:

1) The kinetic energy due to the rotation is:

K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot I\cdot \omega^{2}

Where I and \omega are the moment of inertia and angular speed, respectively. The moment of inertia of the circular cone is:

I = \frac{3}{10}\cdot m\cdot r^{2}

The kinetic energy is:

K = \frac{3}{20}\cdot m\cdot r^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}

2) The moment of inertia of the ellipsoid is (where a is the major semiaxis):

I = \frac{1}{5}\cdot m \cdot (b^{2}+c^{2})

The kinetic energy is:

K = \frac{1}{10}\cdot m \cdot (b^{2}+c^{2})

When a conducting plate swings through a magnetic field, which is true?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Energy is transferred from mechanical energy to thermal energy and then back to mechanical energy ( D )

Explanation:

when conducting plate swings through a magnetic field, energy is transferred from mechanical energy to thermal energy and then back to mechanical energy and this is due to the induction of eddy currents during the process of that the conducting plate swings through the magnetic field.

An eddy current is induced in conductor when the magnetic field in which the conductor is located varies.

Two satellites are orbiting earth at different altitudes. Which satellite orbits at a higher speed v around earth?
aniked [119]

Answer:

Low satellite has high orbital velocity

Explanation:

let v be the orbital speed of the satellite orbiting at a height h is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

where, M be the mass of planet, r be the radius of planet and h be the height of planet from the surface of planet.

here we observe that more be the height lesser be the orbital velocity.

So, a satellite which is at low height has high orbital velocity.

What happens to your kinectic energy when your gravitational potential energy decreases?
leonid [27]

Answer:

As r decreases, we lose gravitational potential energy - in other words, U G U_G UG​U, start subscript, G, end subscript becomes more negative. Because energy is conserved, the velocity must increase, resulting in an increase in kinetic energy.
