Answer:

0.5 m/s2

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Total Mass = 60Kg

Net force = 30N

Acceleration =?

Step 2

Determination of the acceleration.

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

With the above equation, we can easily obtain the acceleration as follow:

30 = 60 x Acceleration

Divide both side by 60

Acceleration = 30/60

Acceleration = 0.5 m/s2

Now, we can thus say that the acceleration at that moment is 0.5 m/s2

Sloan [31]

Answer:

$6.67ft/s^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity=u=18ft/s

Final velocity,v=38ft/s

Time=t=3 s

We have to find the average acceleration over that 3 s period.

We know that

Average acceleration,a= $\frac{v-u}{t}{t}$

Using the formula

Average acceleration,a= $\frac{38-18}{3}ft/s^2$

Average acceleration,a= $\frac{20}{3}ft/s^2$

Average acceleration,a= $6.67ft/s^2$

Hence, the average acceleration= $6.67ft/s^2$

If radio waves are used to communicate with an alien spaceship approaching Earth at 10% of the speed of light c, the aliens woul

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

3×10^7 m/s or 0.10c (e)

Explanation: If the actual value of the speed of light were to be put into consideration.

Given that the speed of light is c = 3.0×10^8m/s

The alien spaceship is approaching at the rate of 10% of the speed of light.

10% of 3.0×10^8m/s

10/100 × 3.0×10^8m/s

0.1 ×3.0×10^8m/s

3×10^7 m/s. Which is the same thing as 0.1 of c = 0.1×c

A large solar panel on a spacecraft in Earth orbit produces 1.0 kW of power when the panel is turned toward the sun. What power

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

e*P_s = 11 W

Explanation:

Given:

- e*P = 1.0 KW

- r_s = 9.5*r_e

- e is the efficiency of the panels

Find:

What power would the solar cell produce if the spacecraft were in orbit around Saturn

Solution:

- We use the relation between the intensity I and distance of light:

I_1 / I_2 = ( r_2 / r_1 ) ^2

- The intensity of sun light at Saturn's orbit can be expressed as:

I_s = I_e * ( r_e / r_s ) ^2

I_s = ( 1.0 KW / e*a) * ( 1 / 9.5 )^2

I_s = 11 W / e*a

- We know that P = I*a, hence we have:

P_s = I_s*a

P_s = 11 W / e

Hence, e*P_s = 11 W

A 0.305 kg book rests at an angle against one side of a bookshelf. The magnitude and direction of the total force exerted on the

tankabanditka [31]

Answer

given,

$F_L= 1.52\ N$

$\theta_L= 31^0$

mass of book = 0.305 Kg

so, from the diagram attached below

$F_L cos {\theta_L} + F_b sin {\theta_b} = m g$

$1.52 times cos {31^0} + F_b sin {\theta_b} = 0.305 \times 9.8$

$F_b sin {\theta_b} = 2.989 -1.303$

$F_b sin {\theta_b} = 1.686$

computing horizontal component

$F_b cos {\theta_b} = F_L sin {\theta_L}$

$cos {\theta_b} = \dfrac{F_L sin {\theta_L}}{F_b}$

$cos {\theta_b} = \dfrac{1.52 \times sin {31^0}}{1.686}$

$cos {\theta_b} = 0.464$

θ = 62.35°

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$4.32\cdot 10^5 hp$ , $3.22\cdot 10^8 W$

Explanation:

The jet is flying at constant velocity: this means that its acceleration is zero, so the net force acting on the jet is also zero.

Therefore, we can write:

$4F_T - F_d = 0$

where

$F_T = 322,000 N$ is the thrust force generated by each engine of the jet

$F_d$ is the drag force

Solving for Fd,

$F_d = 4 F_T = 4(322,000)=1.288\cdot 10^6 N$

The velocity of the jet is

$v=250 m/s$

So, the rate at which the drag force does work (which is the power) is

$P=F_d v$

and substituting

$F_d = 1.288\cdot 10^6 N\\v = 250 m/s$

we find

$P=(1.288\cdot 10^6)(250)=3.22\cdot 10^8 W$

Converting into horsepower,

$P=\frac{3.22\cdot 10^8}{746}=4.32\cdot 10^5 hp$
