Answer:

The weight of the brick is 300 lb.

Explanation:

Given that,

The work done in lifting a load of bricks = 15000 ft lb

It is lifted to a height of 50 ft

We need to find the weight of the brick. The work done by an object is given by :

W=F\times d

Here, F = W (weight of the bricks)

F=\dfrac{W}{d}\\\\F=\dfrac{15000\ ft-lb}{50\ ft}\\\\F=300\ lb

So, the weight of the brick is 300 lb.

A disk is spinning about its center with a constant angular speed at first. Let the turntable spin faster and faster, with const
hoa [83]

Answer:

4 (please see the attached file)

Explanation:

While the angular speed (counterclockwise) remained constant, the angular acceleration was just zero.

So, the only force acting on the bug (parallel to the surface) was the centripetal force, producing a centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the disk.

When the turntable started to spin faster and faster, this caused a change in the angular speed, represented by the appearance of an angular acceleration α.

This acceleration is related with the tangential acceleration, by this expression:

at = α*r

This acceleration, tangent to the disk (aiming in the same direction of the movement, which is counterclockwise, as showed in the pictures) adds vectorially with the centripetal force, giving a resultant like the one showed in the sketch Nº 4.

A 25.0 g marble sliding to the right at 20.0 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 10.0 g marble moving in the same dir
ikadub [295]
In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,

   KE1  = KE2

The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.

  KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
  KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²

This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.

KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)

The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.

Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.

Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed one at 0.90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s. a.
creativ13 [48]

Answer: a) 456.66 s ; b) 564.3 m

Explanation: The time spend to cover any distance a constant velocity is given by:

v= distance/time so t=distance/v

The slower student time is: t=780m/0.9 m/s= 866.66 s

For the faster students t=780 m/1,9 m/s= 410.52 s

Therefore the time difference is 866.66-410.52= 456.14 s

In order to calculate the distance that faster student should  walk

to arrive 5,5 m before that slower student, we consider the follow expressions:

distance =vslower*time1

distance= vfaster*time 2

The time difference is 5.5 m that is equal to 330 s

replacing in the above expression we have

time 1= 627 s

time2 = 297 s

The distance traveled is 564,3 m

Stella is driving down a steep hill. She should keep her car __________ to help _________. a. light, it speed up in a higher b.
frez [133]

Answer:

<em>The Answer is both B and C, </em><em>since it has same options from the question given. Gear, slow her vehicle in a lower</em>

Explanation:

<em>The use of a lower gear in a vehicle helps a person to control their speed limits, when approaching a hill. it also saves the brakes too, using the brakes down a hill can overheat the gear and causes brake failures</em>

<em>By changing in into a lower gear and also letting the engine to do the brake work in a vehicle, the engine will absorb a force and slow the vehicle down, but in most cases brakes can be applied but with lesser pressure.</em>

<em>In this case Stella need to slow down by applying her lower gear down a hill to avoid accidents on the road, by controlling her speed limits and  for safety precaution</em>
