Answer:

 t = 1.51 hours

Explanation:

given,

Speed of space shuttle. v = 27800 Km/h

Radius of earth, R = 6380 Km

height of shuttle above earth, h = 320 Km

Total radius of the shuttle orbit

r' = R + h

r' = 6380 + 320

r' = 6700 Km

distance, d = 2 π r

   d = 2 π x 6700

time = \dfrac{distance}{speed}

time = \dfrac{2\pi\times 6700}{27800}

 t = 1.51 hours

Time require by the shuttle to circle the earth is equal to 1.51 hr.

An observer O is standing on a platform of length L = 90 m on a station. A rocket train passes at a relative (constant) speed of
Natali [406]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the front and back of the rocket simultaneously line up with forward and backward end of the platform respectively .

Then length of the platform = length of the train rocket .

A )

Time to cross a particular point on the platform

= length of rocket train / .96 x 3 x 10⁸

= 90 /  .96 x 3 x 10⁸

= 31.25 x 10⁻⁸ s

B)  Rest length of the rocket = length of platform = 90 m

C ) length of platform  as viewed by moving observer =

\frac{90}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2 } } }

= \frac{90}{\sqrt{1-\frac{0.92}{1 } } }

= 321 m

D )  For the observer on platform time taken = 31.25 x 10⁻⁸ s

for the observer in the rocket , time will be dilated so time recorded by observer in motion ,

31.25\times10^{-8} \times \sqrt{1-\frac{.96^2}{1} }

8.75 x 10⁻⁸ s .

The Lamborghini Huracan has an initial acceleration of 0.80g. Its mass, with a driver, is 1510 kg. If an 80 kg passenger rode al
irina [24]

Answer:

a = 15.1 g

Explanation:

The relation between mass and acceleration is given by :

m\propto \dfrac{1}{a}

If a₁ = 0.80g, m₁ = 1510 kg, m₂ = 80 kg, we need to find a₂

So,

\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{a_1m_1}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{0.8g\times 1510}{80}\\\\a_2=15.1g

So, the car's acceleration would be 15.1 g.

The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3400 Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

L = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

V = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

f = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}

f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}

f = 3400 Hz

A physics student with too much free time drops a watermelon from a roof of a building, hears the sound of the watermelon going
tatiyna

Answer:

28.6260196842 m

Explanation:

Let h be the height of the building

t = Time taken by the watermelon to fall to the ground

Time taken to hear the sound is 2.5 seconds

Time taken by the sound to travel the height of the cliff = 2.5-t

Speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

For the watermelon falling

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow h=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2

For the sound

Distance = Speed × Time

\text{Distance}=340\times (2.5-t)

Here, distance traveled by the stone and sound is equal

\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2=340\times (2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2=340\times (2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{340}{4.905}(2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow t^2+69.3170234455t-173.292558614=0

t=\frac{-69.31702\dots +\sqrt{69.31702\dots ^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-173.29255\dots \right)}}{2\cdot \:1},\:t=\frac{-69.31702\dots -\sqrt{69.31702\dots ^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-173.29255\dots \right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\Rightarrow t=2.4158\ s\ or\ -71\ seconds

The time taken to fall down is 2.4158 seconds

h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 2.4158^2=28.6260196842\ m

Height of the buidling is 28.6260196842 m
