A fighter jet is catapulted off an aircraft carrier from rest to 75 m/s. If the aircraft carrier deck is 100 m long, what is the

The acceleration of the jet is 28.1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the motion of the jet is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

For the jet in this problem, we have

u = 0

v = 75 m/s

s = 100 m

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{75^2-0}{2(100)}=28.1 m/s^2

A cart starts from rest and accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s, then maintains that velocity for 10 s, and then decelerates at th
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Final speed of car = 12 m/s

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at, where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

a) A cart starts from rest and accelerates at 4.0 m/s² for 5.0 s

        v = ?

        u = 0 m/s

        a = 4.0 m/s²

         t = 5 s

         v = u + at = 0 + 4 x 5 = 20 m/s

b) Then maintains that velocity for 10 s

        v = ?

        u = 20 m/s

        a = 0 m/s²

         t = 10 s

         v = u + at = 20 + 0 x 10 = 20 m/s

c) Then decelerates at the rate of 2.0 m/s² for 4.0 s

        v = ?

        u = 20 m/s

        a = -2.0 m/s²

         t = 4 s

         v = u + at = 20 + -2 x 4 = 12 m/s

Final speed of car = 12 m/s

The burj Khalifa in Dubai is the worlds tallest building. It rises to an amazing 828M above the ground and if you were to get to
antoniya [11.8K]
I don't understand what you mean by "depth" of the steps.  The flat part of the step has a front-to-back dimension, and the 'riser' has a height.  I don't care about the horizontal dimension of the step because it doesn't add anything to the climber's potential energy.  And if the riser of each step is 20cm high, then 3,234 of them only take him (3,234 x 0.2) = 646.8 meters up off the ground.  So something is definitely fishy about the steps.

Fortunately, we don't need to worry at all about the steps in order to derive a first approximation to the answer ... one that's certainly good enough for high school Physics.

In order to lift his bulk 828 meters from the street to the top of the Burj, the climber has to provide a force of 800 newtons, and maintain it through a distance of 828 meters.  The work [s]he does is (force) x (distance) = <em>662,400 joules. </em>

Determine the sign (+ or −) of the torque about the elbow caused by the biceps, τbiceps, the sign of the weight of the forearm,
Alex Ar [27]
Ans: 
1.  τbiceps = +(Positive)
2.  τforearm = -(Negative)
3.  τball = -(Negative)

Explanation:

The figure is attached down below.

1. T<span>orque about the elbow caused by the biceps, τbiceps:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
</span>Where r is the vector from elbow to the biceps.
<span>
We can see in the figure that F(biceps) is in upward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the counterclockwise direction. The torque in counterclockwise direction is positive(+). Therefore, the sign would be +.

2. </span>Torque about the the weight of the forearm, τforearm:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
Where r is the vector from elbow to the forearm.

Also weight is the special kind of Force caused by the gravity.

We can see in the figure that W(forearm) is in downward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the clockwise direction. The torque in clockwise direction is negative(-). Therefore, the sign would be -.

3. Torque about the the weight of the ball, τball:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
Where r is the vector from elbow to the ball.

Also weight is the special kind of Force caused by the gravity.

We can see in the figure that W(ball) is in downward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the clockwise direction. The torque in clockwise direction is negative(-). Therefore, the sign would be -.

You throw a Frisbee of mass m and radius r so that it is spinning about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the plane of the Fris
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Torque τ =w ×0 = 0

Explanation:

We know that the torque is given by the product of the force and perpendicular distance between the force and the axis.

Here the gravity force act at the center and the rotational axis is also passing through the center.

Therefore the perpendicular distance between the force and the rotational axis would be zero.

Hence the torque will be

Torque = Force × Perpendicular distance

Torque = mg×0 = 0

Therefore the torque would be zero.

An alloy is made of a material of specific gravity 7.87 and another material of specific gravity 4.50. The alloy of mass 750g ha
julsineya [31]

Answer:

13.9

Explanation:

Apparent weight is the normal force.  Sum of the forces on the alloy when it is submerged:

∑F = ma

N + B − W = 0

N + ρVg − mg = 0

6.6 + (0.78 × 1000) V (9.8) − (0.750) (9.8) = 0

V = 9.81×10⁻⁵

If x is the volume of the first material, and y is the volume of the second material, then:

x + y = 9.81×10⁻⁵

(7.87×1000) x + (4.50×1000) y = 0.750

Two equations, two variables.  Solve with substitution:

7870 (9.81×10⁻⁵ − y) + 4500 y = 0.750

0.772 − 7870 y + 4500 y = 0.750

0.0222 = 3370 y

y = 6.58×10⁻⁶

x = 9.15×10⁻⁵

The ratio of the volumes is:

x/y = 13.9
