A car is travelling along the road where the speed limit is 30 mph. A speed detector measures it speed as 15 m/s. Use this fact to work out whether or not the car is breaking the speed limit: there are 1609 m in a mile

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of the car is in from as the required speed limit on the road.

Explanation:

The speed limit on the road is 30 miles per hour.

Given that: 1 mile = 1609 m

Also,

60 second = 1 minutes

60 minutes = 1 hour

Then,

30 miles per  hour = [tex]\frac{30 *1609}{60*60}[/tex]

                              = [tex]\frac{48270}{3600}[/tex]

                              = 13.4083

30 miles per  hour  = 13.41 m/s

The speed measured by the detector is 15 m/s which is not accurate. Therefore, the car was moving at the required speed limit. The speed of the car is lesser than that measured by the detector. Thus no offence has been committed by the driver.

A student wearing a frictionless roller skates on a horizontal is pushed by a friend with a constant force of 55N. How far must the student be pushed, starting from rest, so that her final kinetic energy is 362 J

Answers

Answer:

6.58m

Explanation:

The kinetic energy = Workdone on the roller

Workdone = Force * distance

Given

KE = Workdone = 362J

Force = 55N

Required

Distance

Substitute into the formula;

Workdone = Force * distance

362 = 55d

d = 362/55

d = 6.58m

Hence the student must push at a distance of 6.58m

The mechanism that drives plate tectonics is the heat and gravity that are fundamental to the process Lithospheric plates are part of a planetary scale thermal convection system. The energy source for plate tectonics is Earth’s internal heat while the forces moving the plates are the “ridge push” and “slab pull” gravity forces.

And the one explanation for the movement of the Earth’s crustal plates is believed to be convection currents which occur in the semi-molten mantle. These convection currents are created by heat from within the earth – much of which is generated by radioactive decay in the core. Convection currents in the mantle.

Given that,

Each lap is 1000 m.

David completes 4 laps of his complex

We need to find David's displacement. In n laps, the net displacement is n time of distance covered.

Displacement = 4 × 1000

You have a 100 N object with a normal force of 100 N. You apply a 50 N push to the right, but a friend is hiding on the other side of the object and is also pushing with a force of 60 N. What is the net force on the object?

Answers

Answer:

100.49N

Explanation:

First we must know that the normal force acts in the vertical direction;

The force required to push to the right and left acts in the horizontal direction;

Sum of force along the horizontal Fx = 50N - 60 N = -10N

Force along the vertical Fy = 100N

The net force on the object is calculated as;

F = √(Fx)² + (Fy)²

F = √(-10)² + (100)²

F = √100 + 10000

F = √10,100

F = 100.49N

Hence the net force on the object is 100.49N

Using the picture above, which ball has the greatest potential energy?

Answers

Ball 4 because the higher the elevation is the greater the potential energy it has

Ball 1 has the greatest amount of potential energy inside it because it has the maximum height among all the balls shown in the graph.

What is Potential energy?

Potential energy is the stored energy which depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system. A spring has more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched due to external force.

Potential energy is not affected by the environment outside of the object or its system, such as the air or height. On the other hand, kinetic energy is the energy of an object or a system's particles in motion.

The potential energy of an object depends on the force acting on the two objects. For the gravitational force, the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height in meters.

The object 1 has maximum height hence, it has greatest potential energy.

An object is moving east, and its velocity changes from 66 mvs to 26 mvs in 10 seconds. Which describes the
acceleration?
negative acceleration of 4 mvs
positive acceleration of 4 ms
positive acceleration of 9 m/a
negatlveo acceleration of 9 m/s

Answers

Answer:

negative acceleration of 4m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 66m/s

Final velocity = 26m/s

Time taken = 10s

Unknown:

Description of the acceleration  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

    acceleration  = [tex]\frac{v - u}{t}[/tex]

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

  Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{26 - 66}{10}[/tex]   = -4m/s²

So, we see a negative acceleration of 4m/s²

A.3.4 m
B. 11,056 m
C.138 m
D.0.29 m

Answers

Answer:

A. 3.4 m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 56.7N

Workdone = 195J

To find the distance

Workdone is given by the formula;

[tex] Workdone = force * distance[/tex]

Making "distance" the subject of formula, we have;

[tex] Distance = \frac {workdone}{force} [/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] Distance = \frac {195}{56.7} [/tex]

Distance = 3.4 meters.

An 80.0 kg fisherman jumps into a 37.5kg boat that is at rest. If the velocity of the fisherman is 5.60m/s when he jumps from the dock, what will be the velocity of the boat and fisherman after he lands in the boat?

Answers

Answer:

The velocity of the boat and fisherman after he lands in the boat is 3.812m/s

Explanation:

We will solve this question on the general Derivation for general case of a man jumping n the boat

m = Mass of the man = 80kg

M= mass of the boat 37.5kg

V(m, g) = Velocity of man with respect to ground = 5.6m/s

V(b , g) = Velocity of boat with respect to ground = Vo = 0m/s ( rest)

velocity of the boat and fisherman after he lands in the boat = V1

As there is no external force acting on the man then we can apply conservation of the Linear Momentum.

m*V(m, g) + M*Vo = (M+m)V1

[tex]V1 = \frac{ m*V(m, g) + M*Vo}{M+m}[/tex]

 On substituting the values we get

V1 = [tex]\frac{80*5.6 + 37.5*0}{80+ 37.5}[/tex]

V1    = [tex]\frac{448}{117.5}[/tex] = 3.812 m/s

Therefore the velocity of the boat and fisherman after he lands in the boat is 3.812m/s.

If a person (weighs 70kg) jumped of a moving car (at 100km/h) and fell on asphalt what is the amount of force applyied to his body that touches the ground first? What are the chancese of dying if the only impact to the body is from the ground?

Answers

Answer:

The amount of force applied to his body is 1944.44 N

The chances of the person dying is very high owing to the high impact force with which the person would experience when he or she lands on the asphalt road due to the jump out of the moving car.

Explanation:

We all know that,

F = Ma where,

F = Force

M = weight of the person

a = acceleration or velocity of the moving car

Therefore;

F = { 70 x (100 x 1000) } / [3600]

= [7 000 000] / 3600

= 1944.44 N

Which of these is an example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy?

Group of answer choices
Sunlight used by plants in photosynthesis
Ceiling fan
Lightning striking the ground

Answers

Answer:

Ceiling fan

Explanation:

A ceiling fan is an example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy.

The blades of the fan are driven by motor within the system.

Energy in a system is converted from one form to the other. Energy is neither created nor destroyed as we know from the law of conservation of energy. In this regard, the electrical energy from the outlet powers the motor. As the motor inside the fan spins, the blade in turn begins to rotate. The motion of the blade is the expression of mechanical energy.

9. An object moving at a constant velocity accelerates at a constant rate of 20 m/s for a distance of
100 m. At the end of the acceleration the object has a velocity of 80 m/s. What was its velocity
before accelerating?

Answers

Answer:

I believe the answer is roughly 49m/s

Explanation:

List all given variables:

Accel=20m/s^2

Dist=100m

Final velocity=80m/s

Initial velocity=?

Using the equation i=sqrt(f^2-2a*d) where i =initial velocity, f=final velocity, a=acceleration, and d=distance, we can plug in the known values and solve for initial velocity

i=sqrt(80^2-2*20*100)

i=sqrt(6400-4000)

i=sqrt(2400)

i=48.99, rounded up to 49m/s as the initial velocity

This is my speculation about this answer would appreciate if anyone can confirm this.
