Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

6.04788 in

115.82654\ in^3

78.38779 m/s

0.88159 kg

34.55294 J

Explanation:

Circumference is given by

c=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{c}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{19}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=3.02394\ in

Diameter is given by

d=2r\\\Rightarrow d=2\times 3.02394\\\Rightarrow d=6.04788\ in

The diameter is 6.04788 in

6.04788\times 2.54=15.3616152\ cm

Volume of sphere is given by

v=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi 3.02394^3\\\Rightarrow v=115.82654\ in^3

The volume is 115.82654\ in^3

115.82654\times \dfrac{1}{1728}=0.06702\ ft^3

Fall velocity is given by

V=k\sqrt{d}\\\Rightarrow V=20\sqrt{15.3616152}\\\Rightarrow V=78.38779\ m/s

The velocity of the fall will be 78.38779 m/s

Mass is given by

m=\rho v\\\Rightarrow m=29\times 0.06702\\\Rightarrow m=1.94358\ lb

1.94358\ lb=1.94358\times \dfrac{1}{2.20462}=0.88159\ kg

The mass is 0.88159 kg

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}0.88159\times 78.38779\\\Rightarrow K=34.55294\ J

The kinetic energy is 34.55294 J

A glider of mass 0.170 kg moves on a horizontal frictionless air track. It is permanently attached to one end of a massless hori
vivado [14]

Answer:

Answer:

a.  1.594 m/s = v

b. 1.274 m/s = v

Explanation:

A) First calculate the potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed by 0.180 m...

U = 1/2 kx²

Where U is potential energy (in joules), k is the spring constant (in newtons per meter) and x is the compression (in meters)

U = 1/2(13.0 N/m)(0.180 m)² = 0.2106 J

So when the spring passes through the rest position, all of its potential energy will have been converted into kinetic energy.  K = 1/2 mv².

 0.2106 J  = 1/2(0.170 kg kg)v²

0.2106 J  = (0.0850 kg)v²

2.808m²/s² = v²

1.594 m/s = v

(B)  When the spring is 0.250 m from its starting point, it is 0.250 m - 0.180 m = 0.070 m past the equilibrium point.  The spring has begun to remove kinetic energy from the glider and convert it back into potential.  The potential energy stored in the spring is:

U = 1/2 kx² = 1/2(13.0 N/m)(0.070 m)² = 0.031J

Which means the glider now has only 0.2106 J  - 0.031J = 0.1796 J of kinetic energy remaining.

K = 1/2 mv²

0.1796 J = 1/2(0.170 kg)v²

0.138 J = (0.0850 kg)v²

1.623 m²/s² = v²

1.274 m/s = v

A particle is moving with a constant speed of 25 m/s in 90 m radius circle what is the angular speed in radian per second about
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

the angular speed in radian per second about the center of a circle is 0.278 rad/s

Explanation:

Given;

Linear velocity v = 25m/s

Radius of circular path r = 90m

The linear velocity of the particle can be expressed as a function of the angular speed as;

Linear velocity = angular speed × radius of path

v = wr

w = v/r

Where;

v = linear velocity

r = radius

w = angular speed

Substituting the given values, we have;

w = 25/90 = 0.278 rad/s

the angular speed in radian per second about the center of a circle is 0.278 rad/s

Two satellites are in circular orbits around Earth. Satellite A has speed vA. Satellite B has an orbital radius nine times that
zaharov [31]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

Satellite B has an orbital radius nine times that of satellite A.

R' = 9 R

now, orbital velocity of the satellite A

v_a =\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}........(1)

now, orbital velocity of satellite B

v_b=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R'}}

v_b=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{9R}}

v_b=\dfrac{1}{3}\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

from equation 1

v_b=\dfrac{v_a}{3}

hence, the correct answer is option B
