<span>By algebra, d = [(v_f^2) - (v_i^2)]/2a. Thus, d = [(0^2)-(15^2)]/(2*-7) d = [0-(225)]/(-14) d = 225/14 d = 16.0714 m With 2 significant figures in the problem, the car travels 16 meters during deceleration.</span>

Magnus has reached the finals of a strength competition. In the first round, he has to pull a city bus as far as he can. One end

iragen [17]

Answer:

The workdone is $W_d =-4400J$

Explanation:

The free body diagram is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are given that

The force is on the force gauge $F = 2750 N$

The distance that Magnus pulled the bus $d = 1.60m$

Generally the workdone by the tension force on Magnus is

$Workdone = Force * displacement \ in \ the \ direction \ of \ force$

$W_d = F * (-d)$

This negative sign show that is tension force is in the opposite direction to Magnus movement (i.e the movement of the bus )

Substituting value we have

$Workdone = - 2750 * 1.60$

$=-4400 J$

Ann and Bob are carrying a 18.5 kg table that is 2.25 m long. A 8.33 kg box sits on the table 0.750 m from Ann. How much lift fo

IgorC [24]

Answer:

F = 118 N

Explanation:

Assume Ann and Bob lift at their respective ends of the table

Sum moments about Bob's position to zero.

Let F be Ann's upward force

F[2.25] - 18.5(9.80)[2.25 / 2] - 8.33(9.80)[0.750] = 0

F = 117.86133333...

Sam boards a ski lift, and rides up the mountain at 6 miles per hour. once at the top, sam immediately begins skiing down the mo

steposvetlana [31]

Let us divide this problem into two parts:
1) Sam rides up the mountain.
2) Sam rides down the mountain.

1.
Since speed is distance over time, as:
$v = \frac{s}{t}$

Therefore, distance would be:
$s_{up} = v_{up} * t_{up}$

Where s = distance,
v = speed,
t = time.

In the problem, Sam's speed while riding up is v = 6 miles/hour = (6 * 1609.34 / 60) = 160.934 meters/second(in SI Units). Plug this value in the above equation, you would get:

$s_{up} = 160.934 * t_{up}$ --- (A)

2.
As Sam rides down the mountain, the speed given is:
$v_{down} = 54 miles/h$

Convert it in SI units; the speed would be in SI unit:
v = 54 miles/hour = (54 * 1609.34 / 60) = 1448.406 meters/second(in SI Units). Plug this value in the distance equation, you would get:
$s_{down} = 1448.406 * t_{down}$

Since the $s_{up} = s_{down}$ , therefore,

$160.934 * t_{up} = 1448.406 * t_{down}$

=> $t_{up} = 9 t_{down}$

Now the condition is that the whole trip, up and down, takes 40 minutes(2400seconds), it means:
$t_{up} + t_{down} = 2400$

Plug in the value of $t_{up}$ in the above equation, you would get:
$t_{down} = 240$

Therefore,
$s_{down} = 1448.406*240$
$s_{down} = 347617.44$ meters (in relation to seconds)

$s_{down} = 5793.624$ meters (in relation to hours)

Now the last step is to convert meters into miles, you would get:
$s_{down} = 5793.624/1609.34 = 3.6miles$

So the answer is 3.6miles.
