A truck driver has a shipment of apples to deliver to a destination 550 miles away. The trip usually takes him 10.0 hours. Today

he finds himself daydreaming and realizes 120 miles into his trip that that he is running 30.0 minutes later than his usual pace at this point. If the driver still wishes to complete the trip in 10.0 hours, how fast must he drive for the rest of the trip? (In all questions, you may assume that the truck moves with a constant speed.)
At what speed must he drive for the remainder of the trip to complete the trip in the usual amount of time? Express your answer using three significant figures.

Answer: He must drive at 58.8mi/hr

{3 significant figure}

Explanation: The original speed of the car to complete the journey normally is = 550mile/10hr

= 55mi/hr

The normal time to cover 120 mile with that speed is

t = distance/speed

= 120/55

=2hr, 0.18*60=11mins

= 2hr11mins.

But the driver found out he was 30mins behind at this distance, so he spent

2hr 11min +30min= 2hr41mins

For him to meet up the original schedule time 10hrs, he has

(10-2.41)hrs = 7hr19mins to cover the remaining distance of

{550-120}=430mile.

First, 7hr19mins= {7*(19/60)}hr

= {439/60}hr

Now let's find the speed at which the driver must move for him to cover for his initial delay

Speed= distance/time

= 430/{439/60}

This is same as writing

Speed = 430/439/60

Using the law of reciprocal,

Speed = (430*60)/439

= 25800/439

= 58.7699mi/hr

But we were asked to leave our answer in 3 significant figure. Therefore,

Speed = 58.8mi/hr

Two kids are playing on a newly installed slide, which is 3 m long. John, whose mass is 30 kg, slides down into William (20 kg),

yuradex [85]

Answer:

$v=3.564\ m.s^{-1}$

$\Delta v =2.16\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of John, $m_J=30\ kg$

mass of William, $m_W=30\ kg$

length of slide, $l=3\ m$

(A)

height between John and William, $h=1.8\ m$

<u>Using the equation of motion:</u>

$v_J^2=u_J^2+2 (g.sin\theta).l$

where:

v_J = final velocity of John at the end of the slide

u_J = initial velocity of John at the top of the slide = 0

Now putting respective :

$v_J^2=0^2+2\times (9.8\times \frac{1.8}{3})\times 3$

$v_J=5.94\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Now using the law of conservation of momentum at the bottom of the slide:</u>

<em>Sum of initial momentum of kids before & after collision must be equal.</em>

$m_J.v_J+m_w.v_w=(m_J+m_w).v$

where: v = velocity with which they move together after collision

$30\times 5.94+0=(30+20)v$

$v=3.564\ m.s^{-1}$ is the velocity with which they leave the slide.

(B)

frictional force due to mud, $f=105\ N$

<u>Now we find the force along the slide due to the body weight:</u>

$F=m_J.g.sin\theta$

$F=30\times 9.8\times \frac{1.8}{3}$

$F=176.4\ N$

<em><u>Hence the net force along the slide:</u></em>

$F_R=71.4\ N$

<em>Now the acceleration of John:</em>

$a_j=\frac{F_R}{m_J}$

$a_j=\frac{71.4}{30}$

$a_j=2.38\ m.s^{-2}$

<u>Now the new velocity:</u>

$v_J_n^2=u_J^2+2.(a_j).l$

$v_J_n^2=0^2+2\times 2.38\times 3$

$v_J_n=3.78\ m.s^{-1}$

Hence the new velocity is slower by

$\Delta v =(v_J-v_J_n)$

$\Delta v =5.94-3.78= 2.16\ m.s^{-1}$

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?

katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.

17. A volleyball weighs about 300 grams.

atroni [7]

Answer:

PE = 44.1 J

Explanation:

Ok, to have the specific data, the first thing we must do is convert from grams to kilograms. Since mass must always be in kilograms (kg)

We have:

1 kilograms = 1000 grams.

We convert it using a rule of 3, replacing, simplifying units and solving:

$\boxed{\bold{x=\frac{gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ kg}{1000}=\boxed{\bold{0.3\ kg}}}}$

==================================================================

Earth's gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s², so we have:

Data:

m = 0.3 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = 15 m
PE = ?

Use formula of potencial energy:

$\boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}$

Replace and solve:

$\boxed{\bold{PE=0.3\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*15\ m}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=44.1\ J}}}$

Since the decimal number, that is, the number after the comma is less than 5, it cannot be rounded, then we have this result.

The potential energy of the volleyball is <u>44.1 Joules.</u>

Greetings.
