Answer:

(OD) Velocity

Explanation:

Here, the rider is moving with a steady speed (5 m/s) towards south. In this example, we have magnitude as well as direction. Since velocity is a vector quantity, thus we can determine the velocity of the rider.

Is there a "real" simple machine that has an efficiency of 100%?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

No, a machine cannot be 100% efficient. This is due to the movement of the moving parts siding against each other and causing friction. This friction is the one that creates heat and causes wear and tear between moving ports f the machine hence making the machine to decrease in efficiency with time

If a 20 N object has been lifted 5 meters above the ground, how much gravitational potential energy does it have?

Andreyy89

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.

The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.

$GPE = mgh$

The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.

$GPE =(mg)*h = (20 N)*(5m)=100 J$

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

During a very quick stop, a car decelerates at 6.8 m/s^2. Assume the forward motion of the car corresponds to a positive directi

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

-24.28571 rad/s²

29.57239 revolutions

3.91176 seconds

52.026478 m

Explanation:

$a_t$ = Tangential acceleration = -6.8 m/s²

r = Radius of wheel = 0.28

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 95 rad/s

$\theta$ = Angle of rotation

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

t = Time taken

Angular acceleration is given by

$\alpha=\frac{a_t}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{-6.8}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-24.28571\ rad/s^2$

The angular acceleration is -24.28571 rad/s²

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2^2}{2\alpha}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{0^2-95^2}{2\times -24.28571}\\\Rightarrow \theta=185.80885\ rad=185.80885\times \frac{1}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow \theta=29.57239\ rev$

The number of revolutions is 29.57239

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-95}{-24.28571}\\\Rightarrow t=3.91176\ s$

The time it takes for the car to stop is 3.91176 seconds

Linear distance

$s=r\theta\\\Rightarrow s=0.28\times 185.80885\\\Rightarrow s=52.026478\ m$

The distance the car travels is 52.026478 m

Friends Burt and Ernie stand at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The distance the log has moved by the time Ernie reaches Bur is 1.33 m.

Explanation:

give information:

The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20.0 kg.

Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg

Ernie has mass 40.0 kg.

to find the distance, first, we have to calculate the center of mass

X = ∑ m x /∑m

= (20 x (3/2)) + (30 x 0) + (40 x 3)/ (20+30+40)

= 150/90

= 5/3

when Ernie walk, the center of the mass is

X = (70 x 0) + (20 x (3/2))/(70 + 20)

= 30/90

= 1/3

the distance of log moved = 5/3 - 4/3 = 1.33 m

Two cyclists start on a race between points A and D on two different routes. Cyclist X takes the route passing through the equid

ollegr [7]

The displacement is the shortest distance between two points, which is 546.41. The displacement for both is 546.41 meters

Average velocity of X = (200 + 200 + 200) / 30
Average velocity of X = 20 m/s

Average velocity of Y = 546.41 / 30 = 18.2 m/s
