At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is a moving conveyor belt

on which you can either stand or walk. Suppose a speed ramp has a length of 121 m and is moving at a speed of 2.2 m/s relative to the ground. In addition, suppose you can cover this distance in 78 s when walking on the ground. If you walk at the same rate with respect to the speed ramp that you walk on the ground, how long does it take for you to travel the 121 m using the speed ramp?

Answer:

It takes you 32.27 seconds to travel 121 m using the speed ramp

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- The speed ramp has a length of 121 m and is moving at a speed of

2.2 m/s relative to the ground

- That means the speed of the ramp is 2.2 m/s

- You can cover the same distance in 78 seconds when walking on

the ground

<em>Lets find your speed on the ground</em>

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

The distance is 121 meters

The time is 78 seconds

Your speed on the ground = 121 ÷ 78 = 1.55 m/s

If you walk at the same rate with respect to the speed ramp that

you walk on the ground

That means you walk with speed 1.55 m/s and the ramp moves by

speed 2.2 m/s

So your speed using the ramp = 2.2 + 1.55 = 3.75 m/s

Now we want to find the time you will take to travel 121 meters using

the speed ramp

Time = Distance ÷ speed

Distance = 121 meters

Speed 3.75 m/s

Time = 121 ÷ 3.75 = 32.27 seconds

It takes you 32.27 seconds to travel 121 m using the speed ramp

1. A 9.4×1021 kg moon orbits a distant planet in a circular orbit of radius 1.5×108 m. It experiences a 1.1×1019 N gravitational

sattari [20]

Answer:

26 days

Explanation:

m = 9.4×1021 kg

r= 1.5×108 m

F = 1.1×10^ 19 N

We know Fc = $\frac{m v^{2} }{r}$

==> 1.1 × $10^{19}$ = (9.4 × $10^{21}$ × $v^{2}$ ) ÷ 1.5 × $10^{8}$

==> 1.1 × $10^{19}$ = $v^{2}$ × 6.26× $10^{13}$

==> $v^{2}$ = 1.1 × $10^{19}$ ÷ 6.26× $10^{13}$

==> $v^{2}$ = 0.17571885 × $10^{6}$

==> v= 0.419188323 × $10^{3}$ m/sec

==> v= 419.188322834 m/s

Putting value of r and v from above in ;

T= 2πr ÷ v

==> T= 2×3.14×1.5× $10^{8}$ ÷ 0.419188323 × $10^{3}$

==> T = 22.472× 100000 = 2247200 sec

but

86400 sec = 1 day

==> 2247200 sec= 2247200 ÷ 86400 = 26 days

A spaceship of mass 8600 kg is returning to Earth with its engine turned off. Consider only the gravitational field of Earth. Le

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

$\Delta KE = 4.20\times 10^{13}\ J$

Explanation:

given,

mass of spaceship(m) = 8600 Kg

Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

position of movement of space ship

R₁ = 7300 Km

R₂ = 6700 Km

the kinetic energy of the spaceship increases by = ?

Increase in Kinetic energy = decrease in potential energy

$\Delta KE = GMm (\dfrac{1}{R_2}-\dfrac{1}{R_1})$

$\Delta KE = GMm (\dfrac{R_1-R_2}{R_2R_1})$

$\Delta KE = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}\times 8600 (\dfrac{7300 - 6700}{7300 \times 6700})$

$\Delta KE = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}\times 8600 (\dfrac{600}{48910000})$

$\Delta KE = 4.20\times 10^{13}\ J$

zzz [600]

Answer:

h=20.66m

Explanation:

First we need the speed when the cord starts stretching:

$V_2^2=V_o^2-2*g*\Delta h$

$V_2^2=-2*10*(-31)$

$V_2=24.9m/s$ This will be our initial speed for a balance of energy.

By conservation of energy:

$m*g*h+1/2*K*(h_o-l_o-h)^2-m*g*(h_o-l_o)-1/2*m*V_2^2=0$

Where

$h$ is your height at its maximum elongation

$h_o$ is the height of the bridge

$l_o$ is the length of the unstretched bungee cord

$800h+21*(79-h)^2-63200-24800.4=0$

$21h^2-2518h+43060.6=0$ Solving for h:

$h_1=20.66m$ and $h_2=99.24m$ Since 99m is higher than the initial height of 79m, we discard that value.

So, the final height above water is 20.66m

A muon formed high in the Earth's atmosphere is measured by an observer on the Earth's surface to travel at speed V - 0.983c for

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The moun lives 2.198*10^-6 s as measured by its own frame of reference

The Earth moved 648 m as measured by the moun's frame of reference

Explanation:

From the point of view of the observer on Earth the muon traveled 3.53 km at 0.983c

0.983 * 3*10^8 = 2.949*10^8 m/s

Δt = d/v = 3530 / 2.949*10^8 = 1.197*10^-5 s

The muon lived 1.197*10^-5 s from the point of view of the observer.

The equation for time dilation is:

$\Delta t' = \Delta t * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

Then:

$\Delta t' = 1.197*10^-5 * \sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.983c)^2}{c^2}} = 2.198*10^-6 s$

From the point of view of the moun Earth moved at 0.983c (2.949*10^8 m/s) during a time of 2.198*10^-6, so it moved

d = v*t = 2.949*10^8 * 2.198*10^-6 = 648 m
