Answer:
According to the University of Iowa, the average length of a stride is 5ft.
Now, the total distance of the marathon is:
26mi and 385yd.
Let's transform that distance into ft.
1mi = 5280ft
Then:
26mi = 26*5280ft = 137,280ft
1yd = 3ft
then:
385yd = 385*3ft = 1,155ft.
Then the total distance of the marathon, in ft, is:
D = 137,280ft + 1,155ft = 138,435 ft.
Now the average number of strides needed will be equal to the quotient between the total distance of the marathon and the distance traveled in each stride.
N = 138,435ft/5ft = 27,687.

What is the maximum torque on a 150-turn square loop of wire 18.0 cm on a side that carries a 50.9 A current in a 1.60 T field
Answer:
The maximum torque on the loop is 395.80 N.m.
Explanation:
Given;
number of turns of the wire, N = 150 turns
length of the square loop, L = 18.0 cm = 0.18 m
current in the wire, I = 50.9 A
Magnetic field, B = 1.6 T
Maximum torque on the loop is given by;
τ = NIAB
τ = (150)(50.9)(0.18²)(1.6)
τ = 395.80 N.m
Therefore, the maximum torque on the loop is 395.80 N.m.

Answer:
ns for high-speed rail in the United States date back to the High Speed Ground Transportation Act of 1965. Various state and federal proposals have followed. Despite being one of the world's first countries to get high-speed trains (the Metroliner service in 1969), it failed to spread. Definitions of what constitutes high-speed rail vary, including a range of speeds over 110 mph (180 km/h) and dedicated rail lines. Inter-city railwith top speeds between 90 and 125 mph (140 and 200 km/h) is sometimes referred to in the United States as higher-speed rail.[1]
Amtrak's Acela Express (reaching 150 mph, 240 km/h), Silver Star, Northeast Regional, Keystone Service, Vermonter and certain MARC Penn Line express trains (all five reaching 125 mph, 201 km/h) are the only high-speed services in the country.
As of 2020, the California High-Speed Rail Authority is working on the California High-Speed Rail project and construction is under way on sections traversing the Central Valley. The Central Valley section is planned to open in 2029 and Phase I is planned for completion in 2031.[2]

Explanation:
A tower crane has a hoist motor rated at 159 hp. If the crane is limited to using 72.0 % of its maximum hoisting power for safety reasons, what is the shortest time in which the crane can lift a 5550 kg load over a distance of 89.0 m
Answer:
The value is [tex]t = 56.68 \ s [/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The rating of the hoist motor is [tex]k = 159hp = 159 *746 =118614 \ W[/tex]
The percentage of it power used is [tex]z = 0.72 * 118614=85402.08 \ W[/tex]
The mass of the load is m = 5550 kg
The distance is h = 89.0 m
The potential energy required to lift the load through that distance is
[tex]E = m * g * h[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 5550 * 9.8 * 89.0[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 4840710 \ J[/tex]
Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{E}{ z}[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{4840710}{ 85402.08}[/tex]
=> [tex]t = 56.68 \ s [/tex]

HELP PLS7. A steel ball is dropped from a height of 100 meters. Which velocity-time graph best describes the
motion of the ball?
Answer:
Option C.
Explanation:
To know which velocity-time graph best describes the motion of the ball, let us calculate the velocity of the ball and the time taken for the ball to get the ground. This can be obtained as follow:
1. Determination of the velocity.
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Height (h) = 100 m
Final velocity (v) =.?
v² = u² + 2gh
v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 100)
v² = 0 + 1960
v² = 1960
Take the square root of both side.
v = √(1960)
v = 44.27 m/s
2. Determination of the time taken.
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Height (h) = 100 m
Time (t) =.?
h = ½gt²
100 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
100 = 4.9 × t²
Divide both side by 4.9
t² = 100 / 4.9
Take the square root of both side
t = √(100 / 4.9)
t = 4.52 s
From the above illustration,
Initial time (t1) = 0 s
Final time (t2) = 4.52 s
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 44.27 m/s
Thus, we can see that as the time increase, the velocity also increase. Therefore, option C gives the correct answer to the question.
Derivation 1.2 showed how to calculate the work of reversible, isothermal expansion of a perfect gas. Suppose that the expansion is reversible but not isothermal and that the temperature decreases as the expansion proceeds. (a) Find an expression
Answer:
(a) The work done by the gas on the surroundings is, 17537.016 J
(b) The entropy change of the gas is, 73.0709 J/K
(c) The entropy change of the gas is equal to zero.
Explanation:
(a) The expression used for work done in reversible isothermal expansion will be,
where,
w = work done = ?
n = number of moles of gas = 4 mole
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole K
T = temperature of gas = 240 K
= initial volume of gas =
= final volume of gas =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
The work done by the gas on the surroundings is, 17537.016 J
(b) Now we have to calculate the entropy change of the gas.
As per first law of thermodynamic,
where,
= internal energy
q = heat
w = work done
As we know that, the term internal energy is the depend on the temperature and the process is isothermal that means at constant temperature.
So, at constant temperature the internal energy is equal to zero.
Thus, w = q = 17537.016 J
Formula used for entropy change:
The entropy change of the gas is, 73.0709 J/K
(c) Now we have to calculate the entropy change of the gas when the expansion is reversible and adiabatic instead of isothermal.
As we know that, in adiabatic process there is no heat exchange between the system and surroundings. That means, q = constant = 0
So, from this we conclude that the entropy change of the gas must also be equal to zero.

The cliff is 10 m high and the lake is 15 m away from the edge of the cliff. Find the time it takes her to drop. Find her initial velocity,
Answer:
The time is 1.4 sec
The initial velocity is 10.7 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
Height = 10 m
Distance = 15 m
We need to calculate the time
Using equation of motion
[tex]s=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]10=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2[/tex]
[tex]t^2=\dfrac{2\times10}{9.8}[/tex]
[tex]t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times10}{9.8}}[/tex]
[tex]t=1.4\ sec[/tex]
We need to calculate the initial velocity
Using formula of velocity
[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]v=\dfrac{15}{1.4}[/tex]
[tex]v=10.7\ m/s[/tex]
Hence, The time is 1.4 sec
The initial velocity is 10.7 m/s.

Answer:
1.3 m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of bird A, [tex]m_A=2.2\ kg[/tex]
Mass of bird B, [tex]m_B=1.7\ kg[/tex]
Initial speed of bird A is 0 as it was at rest
Initial speed of bird B is 3 m/s
We need to find the velocity of the center of mass for this system of two birds. Let it is V. so,
[tex]v_{cm}=\dfrac{m_Au_A+m_Bu_B}{m_A+m_B}\\\\v_{cm}=\dfrac{2.2\times 0+1.7\times 3}{2.2+1.7}\\\\v_{cm}=1.3\ m/s[/tex]
So, the center of mass for this system is 1.3 m/s.

2. The negative charge on the hairbrush will induce a positive charge on your hair. As a result, your hair is going to be attracted to the hairbrush (and repelled by other strands of hair.)
3. V = IR, so if the resistance of the current increases, and the voltage of the current stays the same, there is as a result, going to be less current.

One airplane is approaching an airport from the north at 181 kn/hr. A second airplane approaches from the east at 278 km/hr. Find the rate at which the distance between the planes changes when the southbound plane is 30 km away from the airport and the westbound plane is 15 km from airport.
Answer:
The value is [tex] \frac{dR}{dt} = -286.2 \ km/hr [/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The speed of the airplane from the north is [tex]\frac{dN}{dt} = -181 \ km /hr[/tex]
The negative sign is because the direction is towards the south
The speed of the airplane from the east is [tex]\frac{dE}{dt} = -278 \ km/hr[/tex]
The negative sign is because the direction is towards the west
The distance of the southbound plane from the airport is [tex]N = 30 \ km[/tex]
The distance of the westbound plane is [tex]E = 15 \ km[/tex]
Generally the distance between the plane is mathematically represented using Pythagoras theorem as
[tex]R^2 = N^2 + E^2[/tex]
Next differentiate implicitly this equation to obtain the rate at which the distance between the planes changes
So
[tex]2R\frac{dR}{dt} = 2N \frac{dN}{dt} + 2E\frac{dE}{dt}[/tex]
Here
[tex]R = \sqrt{N^2 + E^2}[/tex]
=> [tex]R = \sqrt{30^2 + 15^2}[/tex]
=> [tex]R = \sqrt{30^2 + 15^2}[/tex]
=> [tex]R =33.54 \ m [/tex]
[tex]2(33.54) * \frac{dR}{dt} = 2( 30)*(-181) + 2*15*(-278)[/tex]
=> [tex] 67.08 * \frac{dR}{dt} = -19200[/tex]
=> [tex] \frac{dR}{dt} = -286.2 \ km/hr [/tex]
The rate of change of the distance between the planes is 286.23 km/hr.
The given parameters;
speed of the airplane from North, dn/dt = 181 Km/hspeed of the airplane from the East, de/dt = 278 km/hnorth distance, n = 30 kmeast distance, e= 15 kmThe distance between the two planes is calculated by applying Pythagoras theorem as shown below;
[tex]d^2 = n^2 + e^2\\\\d = \sqrt{n^2 + e^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{30^2 + 15^2} \\\\d = 33.54 \ km[/tex]
The rate of change of the distance between the planes is calculated as follows;
[tex]d^2 = e^2 + n^2\\\\2\frac{dd}{dt} = 2e\frac{de}{dt} + 2n\frac{dn}{dt} \\\\d\frac{dd}{dt} = e\frac{de}{dt} + n\frac{dn}{dt}\\\\(33.54) \frac{dd}{dt} = (15)(278) \ + (30)(181)\\\\(33.54) \frac{dd}{dt} = 9600\\\\\frac{dd}{dt} = \frac{9600}{33.54} \\\\\frac{dd}{dt} = 286.23 \ km/hr[/tex]
Thus, the rate of change of the distance between the planes is 286.23 km/hr.

The horizontal surface on which the block slides is frictionless. The speed of the block before it touches the spring is 6.0 m/s. How fast is the block moving at the instant the spring has been compressed 15 cm
Answer:
The final speed of the block moving at the instant the spring has been compressed is approximately 3.674 meters per second.
Explanation:
The spring constant is 2000 newtons per meter. Let consider the spring-block system, from Principle of Energy Conservation we can represent it by the following model:
[tex]U_{k,1}+K_{1} = U_{k,2}+K_{2}[/tex]
[tex]K_{2} = K_{1}+(U_{k,1}-U_{k,2})[/tex] (Eq. 1)
Where:
[tex]K_{1}[/tex], [tex]K_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final kinetic energies of the block, measured in joules.
[tex]U_{k,1}[/tex], [tex]U_{k,2}[/tex] - Initial and final elastic potential energy, measured in joules.
And we expand the equation above by definitions of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot (x_{1}^{2}-x_{2}^{2})[/tex]
[tex]v_{2} = \sqrt{v_{1}^{2}+\frac{k}{m}\cdot (x_{1}^{2}-x_{2}^{2}) }[/tex] (Eq. 1b)
Where:
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the block, measured in kilograms.
[tex]k[/tex] - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.
[tex]v_{1}[/tex], [tex]v_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final velocities of the block, measured in meters per second.
[tex]x_{1}[/tex], [tex]x_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final positions of spring, measured in meters.
If we know that [tex]v_{1} = 6\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]k = 2000\,\frac{N}{m}[/tex], [tex]m = 2\,kg[/tex], [tex]x_{1} = 0\,m[/tex] and [tex]x_{2} = 0.15\,m[/tex], the final speed of the block moving at the instant the spring has been compressed is:
[tex]v_{2} = \sqrt{\left(6\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(\frac{2000\,\frac{N}{m} }{2\,kg} \right)\cdot [(0\,m)^{2}-(0.15\,m)^{2}]}[/tex]
[tex]v_{2}\approx 3.674\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
The final speed of the block moving at the instant the spring has been compressed is approximately 3.674 meters per second.
Find the linear velocity of a point moving with uniform circular motion, if the point covers a distance s in the given amount of time t. s
Answer:
The linear velocity is represented by the following expression: [tex]v = \frac{s}{t}[/tex]
Explanation:
From Rotation Physics we know that linear velocity of a point moving with uniform circular motion is:
[tex]v = r\cdot \omega[/tex] (Eq. 1)
Where:
[tex]r[/tex] - Radius of rotation of the particle, measured in meters.
[tex]\omega[/tex] - Angular velocity, measured in radians per second.
[tex]v[/tex] - Linear velocity of the point, measured in meters per second.
But we know that angular velocity is also equal to:
[tex]\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}[/tex] (Eq. 2)
Where:
[tex]\theta[/tex] - Angular displacement, measured in radians.
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.
By applying (Eq. 2) in (Eq. 1) we get that:
[tex]v = \frac{r\cdot \theta}{t}[/tex] (Eq. 3)
From Geometry we must remember that circular arc ([tex]s[/tex]), measured in meters, is represented by:
[tex]s = r\cdot \theta[/tex]
[tex]v = \frac{s}{t}[/tex]
The linear velocity is represented by the following expression: [tex]v = \frac{s}{t}[/tex]

How much work is done lifting a 5 kg ball from a height of 2 m to a height of 6 m? (Use 10 m/s2 for the acceleration of gravity.)
A) 100 J B) 200 J C) 300 J D) 400 J
Answer:
B) 200 [J]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must remember the definition of work which tells us that it is equal to the product of force by a distance, in this case, the force is the weight of the ball. The distance traveled is 4 [m] since 6-2 = 4[m]
F = m*g
where:
m = mass = 5 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s^2]
F = 5*10 = 50 [N]
w = F*d
where:
F = force = 50 [N]
d = 4 [m]
w = 50*4 = 200 [J]
A designer is creating an obstacle for an obstacle course where a person starts on a moveable platform of height H from the ground. The person grabs a rope of length L and swings downward. At the instant the rope is vertical, the person lets go of the rope and attempts to reach the far side of a water-filled moat. The left side of the moat is directly below the position where the person will let go of the rope. The designer runs several tests in which the rope has different lengths and moves the platform such that the rope is always initially horizontal. The designer notices that the person cannot land on the other side if the length L is very short. The designer also notices that the person also cannot land on the other side if the length L is very close to the height H.
Assume the size of the person is much smaller than the lengths L and H. Let D represent the horizontal distance from below the release point to where the person lands.
Required:
a. Why does the person land in the moat if the rope's length is very short?
b. Why does the person land in the moat if the length is nearly the same as the height of the platform?
Answer:
* when L → H chord too long
in this case we see that the speed to cross the well grows a lot (it goes towards infinity) therefore we do not have enough speed in the movement to cross
* when L → 0 very short string
the speed of the platform is very small, so we do not have the minimum required value
vox = √ (g / (2 (H)) D
Explanation:
For this exercise we are going to solve it using conservation of energy to find the velocity of the body and the launch of projectiles to find the velocity to cross the well.
Let's start with the projectile launch
as the body leaves the vertical its velocity must be horizontal
x = v₀ₓ t
y = y₀ + [tex]v_{oy}[/tex] t - ½ g t²
when reaching the ground its height of zero (y = 0) and the initial vertical velocity is zero
t = √ 2 y₀ / g
we substitute
x = vox √2y₀ / g
v₀ₓ = √(g / 2y₀) x
In the exercise, it tells us that the width of the well is D (x = D) and the initial height is the height of the platform minus the length of the rope (I = H - L)
v₀ₓ = √(g /(2 (H -L)) D
this is the minimum speed to cross the well.
Now let's use conservation of energy
starting point. On the platform
[tex]Em_{o}[/tex] = U = m g H
final point. At the bottom of the swing
Em_{f} = K + U = 1 / 2m v² + m g (H -L)
as there is no friction the mechanical energy is conserved
Em_{o} = Em_{f}
m g H = 1 / 2m v² + m g (H -L)
v = √ (2gL)
let's write our two equations
the minimum speed to cross the well
v₀ₓ = √ (g /(2 (H -L)) D
the speed at the bottom of the oscillatory motion
v = √ (2g L)
we analyze the extreme cases
* when L → H chord too long
in this case we see that the speed to cross the well grows a lot (it goes towards infinity) therefore we do not have enough speed in the movement to cross
* when L → 0 very short string
the speed of the platform is very small, so we do not have the minimum required value
vox = √ (g / (2 (H)) D
From this analysis we see that there is a range of lengths that allows us to have the necessary speeds to cross the well
V₀ₓ = v
g / (2 (H -L) D² = 2g L
4 L (H- L) = D²
4 H L - 4 L2 - D² = 0
L² - H L - D² / 4 = 0
let's solve the quadratic equation
L = [H ± √ (H2-D2)] / 2
we assume that H> D
L = ½ H [1 + - RA (1 - (D / H) 2)]
The two values of La give the range of values for which the two speeds are equal
A) The person lands in the moat if the rope's length is very short because :
The speed of the platform is less than the required minimum speedB) The person lands in the moat if the rope length is similar to the height of the platform because :
The speed required to cross the moat approaches infinityFollowing the assumptions;
size of the person is much smaller than L and H
D = horizontal distance
The conditions that will cause the person to land on the moatThe person will land in the moat when the rope's length is very short because as the rope reduces in length the speed reduces as well such that the speed of the platform goes below the required minimum speed which will enable the person cross over. while As the magnitude of the length tends towards the same magnitude of the height the speed required to cross the moat increases towards infinity and this speed cannot be attained by the person hence he will land in the moat.Hence we can conclude that The person lands in the moat if the rope's length is very short because The speed of the platform is less than the required minimum speed and The person lands in the moat if the rope length is similar to the height of the platform because,the speed required to cross the moat approaches infinity.

A soccer ball accelerates from rest and rolls 6.5m down a hill in 3.1 s. It then bumps into a tree. What is the speed of the ball just before it hits the tree.
Answer:
2.096m/s
Explanation:
The speed of this soccer ball can be calculated using the formula;
Speed = distance/time
According to this question, the distance of the ball before it hits the tree is 6.5m, the time it takes is 3.1s, hence;
Speed = 6.5/3.1
Speed of the ball = 2.096m/s
Therefore, the speed of the ball before hitting the tree is 2.096m/s
