I'm completely lost in physics, the Kinematics and dynamics units.. My exam is coming up.. If a biker travelling at 6.4m/s sees
Alexeev081 [22]
D=rt
when biker A catches biker B, the time they've been riding is the same, so 
t=t, or d/r=d/r
the rates are 6.4 and 4.7, so
d/6.4=d/4.7
biker B is 34m ahead, so 
(d+34)/6.4=d/4.7
multiply both sides by 6.4*4.7:
4.7(d+34)=6.4d
4.7d+=6.4d+159.8
1.7d=159.8
d=94 meters

Another way to think of it is that biker A gains 1.7 meters on B every second (6.4-4.7=1.5), so the time it'll take for him to gain 34 meters is 34/1.7=20 seconds. In that time, biker B travels 4.7*20=94 meters

An airplane has a speed of 135 mi/h in still air. It is flying straight north so that it is always directly above a north-south
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let vₐ be the speed of airplane = 135 mph, vₙ be the speed of the wind = 70 mph and vₐₙ be the speed of the airplane relative to the wind.

The distance (d) = 135 miles, Δt = 1 hour, vₐₙ = 135 miles / 1 hour = 135 mph

vₐ = vₙ + vₐₙ

vₐ = vₐₙ

Therefore, vₐ, vₐₙ, vₙ can be represented by an isosceles triangle since vₐ = vₐₙ.

The direction of the wind θ is:

sin(θ / 2) = vₙ / 2vₐ

sin(θ / 2) = 70/ (2*135)

sin(θ / 2) = 0.2593

θ / 2 = sin⁻¹(0.2593) = 15

θ = 30⁰

2α = 180° - 30°

2α = 150°

α = 75°

a) The direction of the wind is 75° in the south east direction while the airplane is heading 30° in the north east direction.

What is the surface temperature of Sirius B in Kelvins?
Sauron [17]

Answer: The surface temperature of Sirius B is 25,200 Kelvins(K).

Explanation: You would think Sirius would have a surface temperature of 9,940 Fahrenheit. That is somewhat correct, but Sirius is a binary star consisting of a main-sequence star of spectral type A0 or A1, termed Sirius A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DA2, termed Sirius B. Sirius, Sirius A, and Sirius B, are all different stars. Sirius A has a temperature of 9,940 Kelvins, but Sirius B has a temperature of 25,200 Kelvins(K).

Describe the phases of the moon along with a picture.​
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The eight Moon phases:

Waxing Crescent: In the Northern Hemisphere, we see the waxing crescent phase as a thin crescent of light on the right. First Quarter: We see the first quarter phase as a half moon. Waxing Gibbous: The waxing gibbous phase is between a half moon and full moon.

The phases of the Moon are the different ways the Moon looks from Earth over about a month. As the Moon orbits around the Earth, the half of the Moon that faces the Sun will be lit up. The different shapes of the lit portion of the Moon that can be seen from Earth are known as phases of the Moon.

<h2>The 8 phases (in order) are:</h2>
  • New moon.
  • Waxing Crescent.
  • First Quarter.
  • Waxing Gibbous.
  • Full moon.
  • Waning Gibbous.
  • Third Quarter.
  • Waning Crescent.

A crane motor exerts 3,500 W to lift a load up 5 floors in 25 seconds. How much work did the crane do?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: 87500J

Explanation:

Given that,

Power exerted by crane = 3,500 W

Time taken = 25 seconds

work done by crane = ?

Since power is the rate of work done per unit time, then power is workdone by the crane divided by the time taken.

i.e power = work / time

3,500 W = work / 25 seconds

Work = 3500W x 25 seconds

Work = 87500J

Thus, 87500 joules of work was done by the crane.
