Answer:

Explanation:

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale gives 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's wind speed, storm surge and potential property damage. It rates according to categories. When placed at Hurricanes of Category 3 and above, they are termed major catastrophic hurricanes because of their potential for loss of life and damages of property. Ratings at Category 1 and 2 storms are dangerous but can be prevented by following directed measures.

Florida situated directly in the hurricane at east coast , had experiened Category 1- Category 5 ratings from hurricane and noticed in Land fall in Florida since 1894 with Winds ranging from 74-95 mph with some dangerous damages which can lead damages to Well-built homes, dedtroying roofs , Uprooting shallow rooted trees, and causing power outages due to destruction of poles

to 157 mph or higher causing Catastrophic damages making the area inhabitable due to loss of life and properties.

For example, Hurricane Dorian in September 2019 attacked Florida’s east coast resulting to a Category 2 storm producing tropical storm force winds,heavy rain and storm surge leading to damages of roof of building and disruption of power poles.

Consider the two moving boxcars in Example 5. Car 1 has a mass of m1 = 65000 kg and a velocity of v01 = +0.80 m/s. Car 2 has a m
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

1.034m/s

Explanation:

We define the two moments to develop the problem. The first before the collision will be determined by the center of velocity mass, while the second by the momentum preservation. Our values are given by,

m_1 = 65000kg\\v_1 = 0.8m/s\\m_2 = 92000kg\\v_2 = 1.2m/s

<em>Part A)</em> We apply the center of mass for velocity in this case, the equation is given by,

V_{cm} = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

Substituting,

V_{cm} = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}

V_{cm} = 1.034m/s

Part B)

For the Part B we need to apply conserving momentum equation, this formula is given by,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where here v_f is the velocity after the collision.

v_f = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

v_f = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}

v_f = 1.034m/s

A particle moves along a straight line with a velocity in meters per second given by v = 12 - 3t + 8t, where t is in seconds. Wh
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the velocity of a particle modeled by the equation

v = 13-3t+8t² where t is in seconds

Given t = 0 and position s = +5m

A) To get the position as a function of time, we will integrate the function with respect to t ad shown;

v = 13-3t+8t²

S = ∫13-3t+8t² dt

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + C

at t = 0 and S = +5m

5 = 13(0)-13(0)²/2+8(0)³/3+C

5 = 0-0+0+C

C = 5

Substituting c = 5 into the displacement function

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + C

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + 5

B) acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time.

a = dv/dt

Given v = 13-3t+8t²

a= dv/dt = -3+16t

a = 16-3t

C) acceleration at t = 6s is derived by plugging in t = 6 into the resulting equations in (B)

a = 16-3t

a = 16-3(6)

a = 16-18

a = -2m/s²

D) net displacement from t = 0 to t = 6s

At t = 0:

S(0) = 13(0)-13(0)²/2+8(0)³/3 + 5

S(0) = 0+5

S(0) = 5m

At t = 6s

S(6) = 13(6)-13(6)²/2+8(6)³/3 + 5

S(6) = 78-234+576+5

S(6) = 425m

Net displacement from t = 0s to t = 6s is s(6)-s(0)

= 425-5

= 420m

E) Total distance travelled D = S(6)+S(0)

= 425+5

= 430m

F) Average velocity = ∆S/∆t

Average velocity = S(6)-S(0)/6-0

Average velocity = 425-5/6

Average velocity = 420/6

Average velocity = 70m/s

You are moving at a speed 2/3 c toward Randy when shines a light toward you. At what speed do you see the light approaching you
lord [1]

Answer:

The speed of light will be c=3x10^8m/s

Explanation:

This is the same as the speed of light because your speed does not affecttje speed of light so you will see the light approaching you at the same speed of light c

In pulling two identical carry-on bags through the airport, Mr. Myers and his 13 year old grandson, Vincent, do the same amount
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Mr Myers and his son use the same force to pull the bags between the gates

Explanation:

The work done by Mr. Myers in pulling the carryon bags = The work done by his 13 year old grandson in pulling the identical bag

Let F₁ represent the force used by Mr Myers, and let F₂ represent the force F₂ used by his grandson

Let d represent the distance through the gate

Therefore, given that Work done, W = Force, F × Distance, we have;

The work done by Mr Myers between the gates, W₁ = F₁ × d

The work done by his grandson between the gates, W₂ = F₂ × d

Where, the work done by both Mr Myers and his grandson are equal, we have;

W₁ = W₂ and therefore, F₁ × d = F₂ × d, which gives;

F₁ = F₂, the force used by both Mr Myers and his son between the gates are equal.
