The total distance you would have covered is equivalent to going around the earth 22 times.

<h3>Total distance traveled</h3>

The total distance traveled at a given speed and time of motion is calculated as follows;

Distance = speed x time

$Distance = \frac{25 \ miles}{day} \times \frac{365 \ days}{1 \ year} \times 60 \ years\\\\Distance = 547, 500 \ miles$

<h3>Distance round the Earth</h3>

The distance round the earth or circumference of the earth of the earth has been given as 25,000 miles

<h3>Number of times round the earth</h3>

$n = \frac{547,500}{25,000} \\\\ n = 21.9 \ times \ \approx 22 \ times$

Thus, the total distance you would have covered is equivalent to going around the earth 22 times.

A passenger in a helicopter traveling upwards at 15 m/s accidentally drops a package out the window. If it takes 15 seconds to r

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The helicopter was 1103.63 meters high when the package was dropped.

Explanation:

We consider positive speed as a downward movement

y: height (m)

t: time (s)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

Δy = v₀t + $\frac{1}{2}$ gt²

Δy= 15 $\frac{m}{s}$ ×15 s + $\frac{1}{2}$ ×9.81 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ ×(15 s)²

Δy= 1103.63 m

A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of vector a = 2.00ĵ m/s2 and an initial velocity of vector v i =

natali 33 [55]

With acceleration

$\mathbf a=\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\,\mathbf j$

and initial velocity

$\mathbf v(0)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i$

the velocity at time <em>t</em> (b) is given by

$\mathbf v(t)=\mathbf v(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t\mathbf a\,\mathrm du$

$\mathbf v(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\displaystyle\int_0^t\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\,\mathbf j\,\mathrm du$

$\mathbf v(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u\,\mathbf j\bigg|_{u=0}^{u=t}$

$\mathbf v(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\,\mathbf j$

We can get the position at time <em>t</em> (a) by integrating the velocity:

$\mathbf x(t)=\mathbf x(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t\mathbf v(u)\,\mathrm du$

The particle starts at the origin, so $\mathbf x(0)=\mathbf0$ .

$\mathbf x(t)=\displaystyle\int_0^t\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u\,\mathbf j\,\mathrm du$

$\mathbf x(t)=\left(\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)u\,\mathbf i+\dfrac12\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u^2\,\mathbf j\right)\bigg|_{u=0}^{u=t}$

$\mathbf x(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\,\mathbf i+\left(1.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\,\mathbf j$

Get the coordinates at <em>t</em> = 8.00 s by evaluating $\mathbf x(t)$ at this time:

$\mathbf x(8.00\,\mathrm s)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(8.00\,\mathrm s)\,\mathbf i+\left(1.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(8.00\,\mathrm s)^2\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf x(8.00\,\mathrm s)=(64.0\,\mathrm m)\,\mathbf i+(64.0\,\mathrm m)\,\mathbf j$

so the particle is located at (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (64.0, 64.0).

Get the speed at <em>t</em> = 8.00 s by evaluating $\mathbf v(t)$ at the same time:

$\mathbf v(8.00\,\mathrm s)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(8.00\,\mathrm s)\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf v(8.00\,\mathrm s)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(16.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j$

This is the <em>velocity</em> at <em>t</em> = 8.00 s. Get the <em>speed</em> by computing the magnitude of this vector:

$\|\mathbf v(8.00\,\mathrm s)\|=\sqrt{\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2+\left(16.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2}=8\sqrt5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\approx17.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

Two electric motors drive two elevators of equal mass in a three-story building 10 meters tall. Each elevator has a mass of 1,00

algol [13]

Answer:

The power output of the first motor is, P = 2.0 x 10⁴ watts

Explanation:

Given data,

The height of the building, h = 10 m

The mass of the elevator, m = 1000 kg

The time duration of the motor to do this work, t = 5.0 s

The force acting on the elevator,

F = m x g

= 1000 x 9.8

= 9800 N

The work done by the elevator,

W = F x h

= 9800 x 10

= 98000 J

The power output of the first motor,

P = W / t

= 98000 / 5

= 19600 watts

= 1.96 x 10⁴ watts

Hence, the power output of the first motor is, P = 2.0 x 10⁴ watts
