A world's land speed record was set by Colonel John P. Stapp when in March 1954 he rode a rocket-propelled sled that moved along

a track at 1020 km/h. He and the sled were brought to a stop in 1.40 s. In g units, what magnitude acceleration did he experience while stopping?

Answer:

202.4 m/s²

Explanation:

a = acceleration experienced by him = ?

v₀ = initial speed of colonel = 1020 km/h = 283.33 m/s

t = time taken by him to come to a stop = 1.40 s

v = final speed of colonel after coming to a stop = 0 m/s

Based on the data we have, we can use the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

0 =  283.33 + a (1.40)

a = - 202.4 m/s²

magnitude of acceleration is given as

a = 202.4 m/s²

A woman takes her dog Rover for a walk on a leash. To get the little pooch moving forward, she pulls on the leash with a force o
stepladder [879]

<u>Answer:</u>

15.97 N force is tending to pull Rover forward

<u>Explanation:</u>

 The woman pulls on the leash with a force of 20.0 N at an angle of 37° above the horizontal. The arrangement is shown in the given figure,

 We nee to find the pulling force P. The 20.0 N force has two components, 20.0 cos 37 in horizontal direction and 20.0 sin 37 in vertical direction.

  The horizontal component is equal to pulling force P, which will pull Rover forward/

  So, P = 20.0 cos 37 = 15.97 N

 15.97 N force is tending to pull Rover forward.

A gas laser has a cavity length of 1/3 m and a single oscillation frequency of 9.0 x 1014 Hz. What is the cavity mode number?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

2 × 10⁶

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cavity length, L = \frac{1}{3}m

Oscillation frequency, f_m = 9.0 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Now,

we know,

f_m=\frac{c}{\lambda_m}

here,

c is the speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

\lambda_m = Wavelength of mode m inside the laser cavity

m is the cavity mode number

Thus,

9.0\times10^{14}=\frac{3\times10^8}{\lambda_m}

or

\lambda_m = \frac{1}{3} × 10⁻⁶

Also,

m\lambda_m = 2L

Therefore,

m × \frac{1}{3} × 10⁻⁶ = 2 × \frac{1}{3}

or

m = 2 × 10⁶

An ocean liner is cruising at 10 meters/second and is about to approach a stationary ferryboat. A parcel is released from the oc
Afina-wow [57]
The parcel will undergo projectile motion, which means that it will have motion in both the horizontal and vertical direction.

First, we determine how long the parcel will fall using:

s = ut + 1/2 at²

where s will be the height, u is the initial vertical velocity of the parcel (0), t is the time of fall and a is the acceleration due to gravity. 

5.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t)²
t = 1.06 seconds

Now, we may use this time to determine the horizontal distance covered by the parcel by using:
distance = velocity * time

The horizontal velocity of the parcel will be equal to the horizontal velocity of the cruise liner.

Distance = 10 * 1.06
Distance = 10.6 meters

The boat should be 10.6 meters away horizontally from the point of release.
