Answer:

Explanation:

See the attachment for the details. A right triangle is formed to find the hypotenuse of the two legs consisting of the actual driving distances and times. The hypotenuse gives the vector information for the displacement at the end of 8 hours of driving.

The individual driving times and distances are summed to provide:

(a) How far did he travel?

103 km

(b) What was his average speed?

12.88 km/h

(c) What was his displacement?

73.82 km

(d) What was his average velocity?

9.228 km/h

Before 1960, people believed that the maximum attainable coefficient of static friction for an automobile tire on a roadway was

True [87]

This problem is looking for the minimum value of μs that is necessary to achieve the record time. To solve this problem:

Assuming the front wheels are off the ground for the entire ¼ mile = 402.3 m, the acceleration a = µs·9.8 m/s².

For a constant acceleration, distance = 402.3

m = 1/2at^2 = 804.6 m / (4.43 s)^2 = a = µs·9.8 m/s^2

µs = 804.6 m / (4.43s)^2 / 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.18

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 26 ft diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses i

hammer [34]

Answer:

$a_M=1.92a_A$

Explanation:

$\omega_M=\omega_A$ = Angular speed

$r_M$ = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

$r_A$ = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

$\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A$

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex

An acorn falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.8 s. How far did the acorn fall . Use g = 9.8 m/s^2. Round your final result

mylen [45]

The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

Explanation:

The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.

Then using the second law of equation,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so

$s=0+\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 0.8 \times 0.8\right)=\frac{6.272}{2}=3.136 \mathrm{m}$

So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.
