A car is moving down a flat, horizontal highway at a constant speed of 21 m/s when suddenly a rock dropped from rest straight do

wn from a bridge crashes through the windshield. The rock strikes the windshield at a right angle, and the windshield makes a 60 degree angle with the horizontal.
a. Find the speed of the rock relative to the car when it hits the windshield.
b. Find the distance above the point of contact with the windshield from which the rock was dropped.
c. If the driver had seen what was about to happen just as the rock was being released, how much time would she have had to react before the rock strikes the windshield?

gtnhenbr [62]

Complete Question:

A drag racer accelerates from rest at an average rate of +13.2 m/s² for a distance of 100. m. The driver coasts for 0.5 s then uses the brakes and parachute to decelerate until the end of the track. If the total length of the track is 180 m, what minimum deceleration rate must the racer have in order to stop prior to the the end of the track?

Answer:

-31.92 m/s²

Explanation:

The drag races do a retiling uniform variated movement. There are 3 steps in the movement, first, it accelerates from rest until 100 m, second it coasts to 0.5 s, and then it decelerates. So, let's analyze each one of the steps:

Step 1

The initial velocity is v0 = 0 (because it was at rest), the acceleration is +13.2 m/s², and the distance ΔS = 100.0 m, so the final velocity, v, is:

v² = v0² + 2aΔS

v² = 2*13.2*100

v² = 2640

v = √2640

v = 51.38 m/s

Step 2

Know it's initial velocity is 51.38 m/s, it take 0.5s, and has the same acceleration, so, after 0.5 s, the velocity will be:

v = v0 + at

v = 51.38 + 13.2*0.5

v = 57.98 m/s

Thus, the distance it travels is:

v² = v0² + 2aΔS

57.98² = 51.38² + 2*13.2*ΔS

3361.6804 = 2639.9044 + 26.4ΔS

26.4ΔS = 721.776

ΔS = 27.34 m

Step 3

The initial velocity of the drag racer is 57.98 m/s, and it travels the final distance of the track: 180 - 100 - 27.34 = 52.66 m. So, when it stops, its final velocity will be 0. The minimum deceleration must be the one that it would stop at the end of the track (less than that it would cross the final track):

v² = v0² + 2aΔS

0 = 57.98² + 2a*52.66

-105.32a = 3361.6804

a = - 31.92 m/s²

MArishka [77]

Complete Question:

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bury itself just below the surface. What would have to be the mass of this asteroid, in terms of the earth’s mass M, for the day to become 25.0% longer than it presently is as a result of the collision? Assume that the asteroid is very small compared to the earth and that the earth is uniform throughout.

Answer:

m = 0.001 M

Explanation:

Rider is towed at a constant speed means there no net force acting on the rider.

hence taking all the horizontal force and vertical force in consideration.

net horizontal  force:

F cos 30° - T cos 19° = 0

F cos 30° = 2300 × cos 19°

F = 2511.12 N

net vertical force:

F sin 30° - T sin 19°- W = 0

W = F sin 30° - T sin 19°

W =  2511.12 sin 30° - 2300 sin 19°

W = 506.75 N

love history [14]

Answer:

The height of the tower will be 35.714 m

Explanation:

We have given gauge pressure P=350kPa=350\times 10^3Pa

Density of water \rho =1000kg/m^3

We have to find the height of the tower h

We know that gauge pressure is given by P=\rho gh

350\times 10^3=100 0\times 9.8\times h

h=35.714m

So the height of the tower will be 35.714 m

Greeley [361]

Answer:

I = 215.76 A  

Explanation:

The direction of magnetic field produced by conductor 1 on the location of conductor 2 is towards left. Based on Right Hand Rule -1 and taking figure 21.3 as reference, the direction of force Fm due to magnetic field produced at C_2 is shown above. The force Fm balances the weight of conductor 2.  

Fm = u_o*I^2*L/2*π*d

where I is the current in each rod, d = 0.0082 m is the distance 27rId  

between each, L = 0.85 m is the length of each rod.

Fm = 4π*10^-7*I^2*1.1/2*π*0.0083

The mass of each rod is m = 0.0276 kg  

F_m = mg

4π*10^-7*I^2*1.1/2*π*0.0083=0.0276*9.8

I = 215.76 A  

note:

mathematical calculation maybe wrong or having little bit error but the method is perfectly fine
