If the speed of sound is approximately 671 mi/hr, about how many meters per second is it? (1mile=1609m)

Physics

zzz [600]3 years ago

671mi/hr

= 671/60min (calculates miles/min)
= (671/60) ÷ 60seconds (calculates miles/sec)

((671/60) ÷ 60)× 1609m
= 299.899 meters/sec
= 299.90m (round off to 2 decimals )

Find the resultant of the following forces: 3.0N east, 4.0N west, and 5.0N in a direction north 60° west.
zzz [600]

Answer:

5.5 N at 50.8° north of west.

Explanation:

To find the resultant of these forces, we have to resolve each force along the x- and y-direction, then find the components of the resultant force, and then calculate the resultant force.

The three forces are:

F_1=3.0 N (east)

F_2=4.0 N (west)

F_3=5.0 N (at 60° north of west)

Taking east as positive x-direction and north as positive y-direction, the components of the forces along the 2 directions are:

F_{1x}=3.0 N\\F_{1y}=0

F_{2x}=-4.0 N\\F_{2y}=0

F_{3x}=-(5.0)(cos 60^{\circ})=-2.5 N\\F_{3y}=(5.0)(sin 60^{\circ})=4.3 N

Threfore, the components of the resultant force are:

F_x=F_{1x}+F_{2x}+F_{3x}=3.0+(-4.0)+(-2.5)=-3.5 N\\F_y=F_{1y}+F_{2y}+F_{3y}=0+0+4.3=4.3 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force is

F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=\sqrt{(-3.5)^2+(4.3)^2}=5.5 N

And the direction is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{F_y}{|F_x|})=tan^{-1}(\frac{4.3}{3.5})=50.8^{\circ}

And since the x-component is negative, it means that this angle is measured as north of west.

Keaton is asked to solve the following physics problem:
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The answer is C "think about the problem first, systematically consider all factors, and form a hypothesis"

Explanation:

In physics there is some basic fomula that sir Isacc Newton proposed under the topic of motion. The three formulas are below;

<em>1) v=u+at</em>

<em>2)v^2=u^2+2as</em>

<em>3)s=ut+(1/2)(at^2)</em>

the variables are explained below;

u= initial velocity of the body

a=acceleration/Speed of the body

t= time taken by the body while travelling

s= displacement of the body.

Therefore to solve keatons problem, the factors(variables) in the formulas above need to be systematically considered. Since the ball was dropped from the top of the building, the initial velocity is 0 because the body was at rest. Also the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

At which of the following points does a roller coaster have the most potential energy? As it is going down a hill. At the top of
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

At the top of the hill.

Explanation:

As the roller coaster goes up the hill, kinetic energy (K.E) decreases, gravitational potential energy (G.P.E) increases .

As it reach the top of the hill, K.E becomes zero and G.P.E reaches <em>m</em><em>a</em><em>x</em><em>i</em><em>m</em><em>u</em><em>m</em> .

As it goes down the hill, K.E starts to increase and G.P.E decrease .

At the bottom of the hill, K.E reaches <em>maximum</em> and G.P.E becomes zero .

(Correct me it I am wrong)

What is the de Broglie wavelength for a proton with energy 50 keV? Due to the limitations of Canvas, please give the wavelength
ad-work [718]

Answer:

1.2826 x 10^-13 m

Explanation:

\lambda  = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m K}}

Here, k be the kinetic energy and m be the mass

K = 50 KeV = 50 x 1.6 x 10^-16 J = 80 x 10^-16 J

m = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg

\lambda  = \frac{6.63 \times  10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 80\times 10^{-16}}}

λ = 1.2826 x 10^-13 m

Stan is driving north on his scooter at 8m/s, accelerates 11m/s (North) in 4s, drives a constant velocity for the next 15s, and
kow [346]

A) Acceleration: a_1 = 0.75 m/s^2, a_2 = 0, a_3 = -1.57 m/s^2

B) The total displacement is 209.5 m north

C) The average velocity is 8.06 m/s north

Explanation:

A)

Acceleration is defined as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Here we have:

- In the first  segment,

u = 8 m/s north

v = 11 m/s north

t = 4 s

So the acceleration is

a_1 = \frac{11-8}{4}=0.75 m/s^2 (north)

- In the second segment, Stan drives at a constant velocity: so the final velocity is equal to the initial velocity,

u = v

Therefore, the acceleration is zero: a_2 = 0

- In the third segment,

u = 11 m/s (north)

v = 0 (he comes to a stop)

t = 7 s

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{0-11}{7}=-1.57 m/s^2

And the negative sign means the acceleration is south, opposite to the direction of motion.

B)

In a uniformly accelerated motion, the displacement can be calculated as:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

- For the first segment, we have

u = 0\\a = 0.75 m/s^2\\t=4 s

So the displacement is

s_1 = 0+\frac{1}{2}(0.75)(4)^2=6 m

- For the second segment, we have

u = 11 m/s\\a = 0\\t=15 s

So the displacement is

s_2 = (11)(15)+0=165 m

- For the third segment, we have

u = 11\\a = -1.57 m/s^2\\t=7 s

So the displacement is

s_3 = (11)(7)+\frac{1}{2}(-1.57)(7)^2=38.5 m

So the total displacement is:

s = 6 m + 165 m + 38.5 m = 209.5 m

In the north direction (positive direction)

C)

The average velocity is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the total displacement

t is the total time

Here we have:

d = 209.5 m

t = 26 s

Therefore, the average velocity is

v=\frac{209.5}{26}=8.06 m/s (north)
