Explain why streets and highways have speed limits rather than velocity limits

1 answer:

5 0

Speed is the distance and object travels per unit of time.Velocity on the other hand is the speed of an object in the direction of its motion. So, the difference between them is that velocity includes the direction of motion and speed does not. <span>Streets and highways have speed limits rather than velocity limits because they only care about the speed of the vehicle, not about the direction. </span>

Someone plans to float a small, totally absorbing sphere 0.500 m above an isotropic point source of light,so that the upward rad

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

468449163762.0812 W

Explanation:

m = Mass = $\rhoV$

V = Volume = $\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

r = Distance of sphere from isotropic point source of light = 0.5 m

R = Radius of sphere = 2 mm

$\rho$ = Density = 19 g/cm³

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

A = Area = $\pi R^2$

I = Intensity = $\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Force due to radiation is given by

$F=\dfrac{IA}{c}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}{\pi R^2}}{c}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{PR^2}{4r^2c}$

According to the question

$F=mg\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{PR^2}{4r^2c}=\rho \dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3g\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{16r^2\rho c\pi Rg}{3}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{16\times 0.002\times 19000\times \pi\times 0.5^2\times 9.81\times 3\times 10^8}{3}\\\Rightarrow P=468449163762.0812\ W$

The power required of the light source is 468449163762.0812 W

What is the mass of an object that creates 33,750 joules of energy by traveling at 30 m/sec?

nikklg [1K]

The Energy is Kinetic Energy.

Kinetic Energy = 1/2*mv², Where m is mass in kg, v is velocity in m/s

Energy is 33750 Juoles, v = 30m/s

1/2*mv² = E

1/2*m*30² = 33750

m = (2*33750) / (30²) Using a calculator

m = 75 kg

Mass of object is 75 kg.

A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal

Setler [38]

Answer

given,

mass of the ball = 3 kg

swing in vertical circle with radius = 2 m

work done by the gravity = ?

work done by the tension = ?

Work done by the gravity = - m g Δh

Δ h = 2 + 2 = 4 m

Work done by the gravity = $- 3 \times 9.8 \times 4$

= -117.6 J

work done by gravity is equal to -117.6 J

Work done by tension will be equal to zero.

Zero because tension is always perpendicular to velocity

work done by tension is equal to 0 J

A 10-kilogram box is at static equilibrium, and the downward pull of gravity acting on the box is 98 newtons. What is the minimu

Nikolay [14]

The box is at equilibrium, so the net force on the box is zero (the force of gravity on the box is equal to the force exerted up on the box by the surface on which it rests.)
To pick up the box, our upward force must be greater than the force of gravity on the box (the weight). So, we must lift up the box with a force greater than 98 newtons. :)
