At liftoff, the space shuttle Discovery has a constant acceleration of 16.4 ft/s/s with an initial velocity of 1,341 ft/s due to the rotation of the Earth. How long does it take to travel 100,000 ft?

Answers

Answer 1

From orbital speed formula which is the ratio of the circumference of the earth and the period of time, it will take 6097.6 seconds to travel 100,000 ft

Given that the space shuttle Discovery has a constant acceleration of 16.4 ft/s with an initial velocity of 1,341 ft/s due to the rotation of the Earth.

The period of time T it will require to travel round the a distance 100,000 ft can be calculated by using the formula below.

V = 2πr / T

Where 2πr = 100,000 ft

V = 16.4 ft/s

Substitute both in the formula above.

16.4 = 100000 / T

T = 100000 / 16.4

T = 6097.6 seconds

Therefore, it will take 6097.6 seconds to travel 100,000 ft

A person is drinking a glass of soda with ice.

A. in : least energy
above : intermediate and greatest energy

B. in : greatest energy
above : least energy

C. in : least energy
above : greatest energy

D. in least and intermediate energy
above : greatest energy ​

Answers

The relative kinetic energy of molecules in the soda is least energy and above the soda in the glass is greatest energy.

The relative kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with increase in the mean distance between the gas molecules.

Also, relative kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with in the temperature of the gas molecules and decreases with a decrease in the temperature of the of the gas molecules;

ΔK.E ∝ T

The ice in the soda lowers the temperature of the gas molecules, thereby reducing their average speed which in turn reduces the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules in the soda.

Above the soda in the glass, the concentration of the gas molecules is less and their mean distance is greatest when compared to inside the soda. This results to an increase in the speed of the gas molecules which increases their average kinetic energy.

Thus,  the relative kinetic energy of molecules in the soda is least energy and above the soda in the glass is greatest energy.

A particle starts from the origin at t = 0 with a velocity of 6.0 m/s and moves in the xy plane with a constant acceleration of (-2.0 + 4.0) m/s2. At the instant the particle achieves its maximum positive x coordinate, how far is it from the origin

Answers

Answer:

9sqrt4

Explanation:

Assuming you mean 6.0i m/s and (-2.0i + 4.0j) m/s^2:

The maximum positive x coordinate is when the time is 3 seconds, because the horizontal velocity will be zero, and therefore will be a turning point, where after that point the x coordinate will only be more negative.

After 3 seconds the x coordinate is 6*3+1/2*-2*3^2=9, and the y coordinate will be 1/2*4*3^2=18.

The distance from the origin is sqrt(9^2+18^2) = 9*sqrt(1+4)

At the instant the particle achieves its maximum positive x coordinate, the displacement is 4.03 m.

Displacement of the particle

The displacement of the particle is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2as

where;

a is acceleration

a = √(2² + 4²) = 4.47 m/s²

0 = u² + 2as

s = -u²/2a

s = -(6²)/(2 x 4.47)

s = -4.03 m

Thus, at the instant the particle achieves its maximum positive x coordinate, the displacement is 4.03 m.

A train travels at 40m/s. Calculate the time it takes to travel:
A) 30,000 m
B) 50 km

Answers

Answer:

a is 750 second

b is 2 hour

The time it takes for the train to travel 30,000m and 50,000m is 750seconds and 1250 seconds, respectively.

What is speed?

The speed is the distance covered by an object at a particular time. Therefore, it is the ratio of distance and time.

[tex]\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

A train travels at 40m/s. Now, the time it takes to travel the given distance is,

A.) 30,000m

Speed = Distance / Time

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 30,000m / 40m/s

Time = 750 seconds

B.) 50 km

1 km = 1000m

50 km = 50 × 1000m = 50,000 m

Speed = Distance / Time

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 50,000m / 40m/s

Time = 1250 seconds

Hence, the time it takes for the train to travel 30,000m and 50,000m is 750seconds and 1250 seconds, respectively.

An object in free fall has a velocity of 5m/s in the upward direction. What is the instantaneous velocity of the object one second later?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Near the earth's surface where gravity is approximately 10 m/s² downward

v = u + at

v = 5 + (-10)(1) = -5 m/s

so it has the same speed but in the opposite (downward) direction.

The instantaneous velocity of the object is -4.8 m/s and is directed downwards.

What is meant by instantaneous velocity ?

Instantaneous velocity is defined as the rate of change of position for a given interval of time. And it also represents the direction.

Here,

The object is freely falling.

So, the acceleration of the object is the acceleration due to gravity.

a = g = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity of the object, u = 5 m/s  (upward velocity)

Time given, t = 1

Using the first equation of motion,

v = u + at

v = 5 + (-9.8) x 1  

( negative sign is due to it is directed downwards which is opposite to u)

v = -4.8 m/s

That means the instantaneous velocity is directed downwards.

Hence,

The instantaneous velocity of the object is -4.8 m/s and is directed downwards.

An RLC circuit is used in a radio to tune into the radio lagos fm Station broadcasting at 93.5Hz. The resistance is 15ohms and the inductance is 1.6 H. Calculate the capacitance used​

Answers

The characteristics of the RLC circuit allow to find the result for the capacitance at a resonance of 93.5 Hz is:

Capacitance is C = 1.8 10⁻⁶ F

A series RLC circuit reaches the maximum signal for a specific frequency, called the resonance frequency, this value depends on the impedance of the circuit.

            [tex]Z^2 = R^2 + ( wL - \frac{1}{wC} )^2[/tex]  

Where Z is the impedance of the circuit, R the resistance, L the inductance, C the capacitance and w the angular velocity. The negative sign is due to the fact that the current in the capacitor and the inductor are out of phase.

In the case of resonance, the impedance term completes the circuit as a resistive system.

           [tex]wL - \frac{1}{wC} = 0 \\w^2 = \frac{1}{LC}[/tex]  

           

Indicate that the inductance L = 1.6 H and the frequency f = 93.5 Hz.

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

         

         w = 2π f

           

Let's  substitute.

          [tex]C = \frac{1}{L ( 2 \pi f)^2 }[/tex]  

 

Let's calculate.

         [tex]C = \frac{1}{1.6 \ ( 2\pi \ 93.5)^2}[/tex]  

         C = 1.8 10⁻⁶ F

The spring constant of Spring A is twice as great as the spring constant of Spring B. Both springs are stretched the same amount. How does the
force the Spring A applies compare to the force Spring B applies?

Answers

Answer:

FA = 2FB

Force on spring A is twice the Force on spring B

Explanation:

F = kx

FB = (kB)x

FA = (kA)x

FA= (2kB)x

FA = 2(kB)x

FA = 2FB

The force [tex]F_A[/tex] needed to stretch spring A is going to be twice as much as the force [tex]F_B[/tex] needed to stretch spring B.

Explanation:

We know that the spring constants are related as

[tex]k_A = 2k_B[/tex]

The force [tex]F_A[/tex] needed to stretch spring A is given by

[tex]F_A = -k_Ax[/tex]

Also, the force [tex]F_B[/tex] needed to stretch spring is

[tex]F_B = -k_Bx[/tex]

Taking the ratio of the forces, we get

[tex]\dfrac{F_A}{F_B} = \dfrac{-k_Ax}{-k_Bx} = \dfrac{k_A}{k_B}[/tex]

Since [tex]k_A = 2k_B,[/tex] the equation above becomes

[tex]\dfrac{F_A}{F_B} = \dfrac{2k_B}{k_B} = 2[/tex]

or

[tex]F_A = 2F_B[/tex]

This shows that since the spring constant of spring A is twice as large as that of spring B, the force needed is going to be twice as large.

Because it enables us to predict which compounds will float and which will sink in a liquid, density is a crucial notion. As long as an object's density is lower than the liquid's density, it will often float.

Equation :

To the given equation we have :

mass of the bar = 256g
