You are an astronomer on planet tirth, which orbits a distant star. it has recently been accepted that tirth is spherical in shape, though no one knows its size. one day, you learn that on the equinox your sun is directly overhead in the city of tyene, located 750 kilometers due north of you. on the equinox, you go outside in alectown and observe that the altitude of your sun is 87.0 ∘.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The circumference of planet tirth is [tex]C = 90000 \ km[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The distance of tyene from the observer is  [tex]d = 750 \ km[/tex]

   The altitude of the sun from the equinox is   [tex]\theta_s = 87.0^o[/tex]

Generally given that on the equinox your sun is directly overhead in the city of tyene , then the altitude of the tyene from the equinox is  [tex]\theta_e = 90 ^o[/tex]

Generally the angular distance between tyene and the sun as observed from the equinox is mathematically represented as

         [tex]\theta _d = \theta_e - \theta_s[/tex]

=>       [tex]\theta _d = 90 -87[/tex]

=>       [tex]\theta _d =3^o[/tex]

Generally the ratio of [tex]\theta _d =3^o[/tex] to  [tex]360^o[/tex] which is the total angle in a circle is equal to the ratio of  [tex]d = 750 \ km[/tex] to the circumference of the planet

So

         [tex]\frac{\theta_d}{360} = \frac{750}{C}[/tex]

=>      [tex]\frac{3}{360} = \frac{750}{C}[/tex]

=>     [tex]C = 90000 \ km[/tex]

7.69km/hr due east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Displacement due west  = 3km

Displacement due east = 2km

Time taken  = 8 minutes

Unknown:

Average velocity  = ?

Solution:

Average velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.

  Velocity  = [tex]\frac{displacement}{time }[/tex]

 Displacement is deals with the start and the end;

  Here, displacement  = 3km - 2km  = 1km due east

Time  = 8min

       8min = [tex]\frac{8}{60}[/tex]   = 0.13hr

 Average velocity = [tex]\frac{1km}{0.13hr}[/tex]   = 7.69km/hr due east

Answers

Answer:

-9.8

Explanation:

EDGE 2021

The vertical acceleration of a dart is equal to the negative of acceleration due to gravity (- g). The vertical acceleration of the dart is equal to -9.8m/s². Therefore, option (1) is correct.

What is the acceleration due to gravity?

Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration acquired by a body due to gravitational force. As gravity has both magnitude and direction, so it is a vector quantity. Acceleration due to gravity is expressed by the symbol 'g'. The SI unit of g is m/s² and the value of g (acceleration due to gravity) on the surface of the earth is 9.8 m/s².

Let us suppose a body with mass (m) is dropped from a height ‘h’ above the surface of the earth with mass (M), it starts to move downwards with an increase in velocity to the earth's surface.

The body starts to accelerate toward the earth’s center under the action of gravitational force which is at a distance ‘r’.

Then, ma = GMm/r²

a = GM/r²

Therefore, the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g) = GM/r2.

Any object freely falling to the surface of the earth has acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s².

If the object moves away from the surface of the earth then it experiences the gravitational pull of the earth. Therefore, the acceleration of dart vertically is equal to -g.

Therefore, the vertical acceleration of the dart is equal to -9.8m/s².

Al inicio de un paseo recorrerá una distancia de 200 km/h, los primeros 120 km lo hará a una velocidad constante de 60 km/h y el resto a una velocidad constante de 90 km/h,¿Cuánto tiempo en horas total durará el viaje?

Answers

Responder:

1 hora 20 min

Explicación:

Paso uno:

datos dados

Durante los primeros 120 km, se nos dice que la velocidad es de 60 km / h.

sabemos que velocidad = distancia / tiempo

por lo tanto, distancia = velocidad * tiempo

deja que el tiempo sea ty la velocidad sea s

distancia = s * t

distancia = 60t -------------------- 1

Segundo paso:

Durante los segundos 80 km, se nos dice que la velocidad es de 90 km / h.

sabemos que velocidad = distancia / tiempo

por lo tanto, distancia = velocidad * tiempo

deja que el tiempo sea ty la velocidad sea s

distancia = s * t

desatancia = 90t ------------------- 2

La distancia total recorrida es de 200 km.

entonces 200 = 60t + 90t

200 = 150t

t = 200/150

t = 1,3 horas

Por lo tanto, el viaje tendrá una duración de 1 hora y 20 minutos aproximadamente.

While rowing in a race, John uses his arms to exert a force of 155 N per stroke
while pulling the oar 0.7500 m. How much work does he do in 25 strokes?

Answers

Answer:

Workdone = 2906.25J

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force, F = 155

Distance, d = 0.75

Stroke, s = 25

Mathematically, work done is given by the formula;

Work done = force * distance * stroke

[tex] W = F * d * s[/tex]

Where,

W is the work done

F represents the force acting on a body.

d represents the distance covered by the body.

s is the number of strokes.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] Workdone = 155*0.75*25[/tex]

Workdone = 2906.25J

How do the individual forces compare when the rider experiences a sensation being lighter than his normal weight ? What is the acceleration direction when this occurs ?

Answers

Answer:

When the elevator is accelerating downward, the person feels lighter due to the downward normal force being less than the person's weight.

Explanation:

A person riding in an elevator subjected to a series of unbalanced forces depending on the direction the elevator is travelling.

Two forces are acting on the person; the force of gravity and the upward normal force from the elevator.

When the elevator is going upwards with acceleration a, the person feels heavier than his normal weight, due to the upward normal force being greater than the person's weight. N = mg + ma

When the elevator is moving downwards with acceleration a, the person feels lighter due to the downward normal force being less than the person's weight. N = mg - ma

However, when the elevator is moving up or down at constant velocity ie. acceleration a = 0, the person experience a normal force equal to weight. N = mg

When the elevator is moving downwards with acceleration a = g, the person experiences weightlessness. N = (mg - mg) = 0

Explanation:

A) For forces acting in the same direction

we will add up the forces : lets assume the forces to be F1 , F2

Then the magnitude of the forces acting in the same direction will be

R = F1 + F2

B) For forces acting in the opposite direction

we will subtract the forces i.e. stronger force - weaker force . assuming the forces to be F1 , F2

Hence the magnitude of the resultant force = R = | F1 - F2 |

3. The soccer kicker kicks a 2 kg football with a force of 68 N. How fast will the ball accelerate down the field?
m = _______
a = ________
Fnet = _____

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf m= 2 \ kg , \\a= 34 \ m/s^2, \\\F= 68 \ N}}[/tex]

Explanation:

The formula for force is:

[tex]F=m*a[/tex]

If we rearrange the formula to solve for a (acceleration), the formula becomes

[tex]\frac{F}{m} =a[/tex]

The force is 68 Newtons. Let's convert the units to make the problem easier later on. 1 N is equal to 1 kg*m/s², so the force of 68 N is equal to 68 kg*m/s².

The mass is 2 kilograms.

[tex]F=68 \ kg*m/s^2 \\m= 2\ kg[/tex]

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]\frac{68 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg} =a[/tex]

Divide. Note that the kilograms will cancel each other out (hence why we changed the units).

[tex]\frac{68 \ m/s^2}{2}=a[/tex]

[tex]34 \ m/s^2=a[/tex]

The acceleration is 34 meters per second squared.
