Answer:

200 m/s

Explanation:

as momentum is a product of mass and speed, and mass is not changing, four times the speed will result in four times the momentum.

p = mv

4p = m(4v)

You push on a cart (18.0kg) at a 30 degree below horizontal angle. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the
podryga [215]

Given that force is applied at an angle of 30 degree below the horizontal

So let say force applied if F

now its two components are given as

F_x = Fcos30


F_y = Fsin30


Now the normal force on the block is given as

N = Fsin30 + mg

N = 0.5F + (18\times 9.8)

N = 0.5F + 176.4

now the friction force on the cart is given as

F_f = \mu N

F_f = 0.625(0.5F + 176.4)

F_f = 110.25 + 0.3125F

now if cart moves with constant speed then net force on cart must be zero

so now we have

F_f + F_x = 0

Fcos30 - (110.25 + 0.3125F) = 0

0.866F - 0.3125F = 110.25

F = 199.2 N

so the force must be 199.2 N

In an engine governor, the two spheres (total mass of 1.0kg) are at 0.05m and rotating at 37rad/s If the engine increases the an
kirill115 [55]

Here we can say that there is no external torque on this system

So here we can say that angular momentum is conserved

so here we will have

I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2

now we have

I_1 = mr^2

I_1 = (1kg)(0.05^2)

I_1 = 25\times 10^{-4} kg m^2

similarly let the final distance is "r"

so now we have

I_2 = mr^2

I_2 = 1r^2

now from above equation we have

(25\times 10^{-4})37 = (r^2)(58)

r = 0.04 m

so final distance is 0.04 m between them

What is the average speed of a kangaroo that hops 60 m in 5 s ?
jok3333 [9.3K]
The formula for average speed is
v_{avg}= \frac{total distance}{total time}
So we can just substitute our data.
v_{avg}= \frac{60}{5}=12 \frac{m}{s} - its the result

A pendulum clock gives correct time at 20°c how many sec/day will it gain or loose when the temperature fall to 5°c? cofficient
rewona [7]

Answer:

129.6 seconds

Explanation:

Given that :

α = 0.0002°c-1​

θ1 = 20°C

θ2 = 5°C

Time t = one day ; Converting to seconds ; number of seconds in a day ; (24 * 60 * 60) = 86400 seconds

Let dT= change in time

Using the relation :

dT = 0.5* α * dθ * t

dθ = (20 - 5) = 15°C

dT = 0.5 * 0.0002 * 15 * 86400

dT = 129.6 seconds
