It depends on where you live when you're not visiting Chicago. We need to know the distance of the trip.

Your average speed on the trip is . . .

(total distance in miles) / (3 hours)

miles per hour

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object down a slope (neglecting friction, µ = 0) is:

a = g × sin θ

Where,

g is the acceleration due to gravity and θ is the angle of the slope.

a = (9.8 × sin (21.5º)

= 3.592 m/s²

Using equations of motion,

S = ut + 1/2at²

Since, u = 0,

S = 1/2at²

347 = 1/2 × (3.592)t²

t² = 193.21

= sqrt(193.21)

= 13.9 s.

One end of a piano wire is wrapped around a cylindrical tuning peg and the other end is fixed in place. The tuning peg is turned

liq [111]

Answer:

$T = 3183 N$

Explanation:

When the screw is turned by two turns then change in the length of the wire is given as

$\Delta L = 2(2\pi r)$

$\Delta L = 4\pi r$

$\Delta L = 4(\pi)(1.0 mm)$

$\Delta L = 12.56 mm$

now we know by the formula of Young's modulus

$Y = \frac{T/A}{\Delta L/L}$

so we have

$T = \frac{AY \Delta L}{L}$

$T = \frac{\pi (0.55 \times 10^{-3})^2(2.0 \times 10^{11})(12.56 \times 10^{-3})}{0.75}$

$T = 3183 N$

You are standing 10 meters from a light source. Then, you back away from the light source until you are 20 meters away from it.

bogdanovich [222]

Inverse Square Law of Light states that light intensity falls off rapidly with distance from its source. T<span>he intensity varies with the square of the flash-to-subject distance.
intensity at distance 1/intensity at distance 2=distance2^2/distance1^2
In our case, distance1=10m and distance2=20m, 20^2/10^2= 400/100=4, which means that t</span>he intensity of the wave<span> has increased by a factor of four.

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.

A car traveling at speed v takes distance d to stop after the brakes are applied. What is the stopping distance if the car is in

Vikki [24]

49d

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

This case is about uniformly accelerated motion.

<u>Given:</u>

The initial speed was v takes distance d to stop after the brakes are applied.

<u>Question:</u>

What is the stopping distance if the car is initially traveling at speed 7.0v?

Assume that the acceleration due to the braking is the same in both cases. Express your answer using two significant figures.

<u>The Process:</u>

The list of variables to be considered is as follows.

$\boxed{u \ or \ v_i = initial \ velocity}$
$\boxed{u \ or \ v_t \ or \ v_i = terminal \ or \ final \ velocity}$
$\boxed{a = acceleration \ (constant)}$
$\boxed{d = distance \ travelled}$

The formula we follow for this problem are as follows:

$\boxed{ \ v^2 = u^2 + 2ad \ }$

a = acceleration (in m/s²)
u = initial velocity
v = final velocity
d = distance travelled

Step-1

We substitute v as the initial speed, distance of d, and zero for final speed into the formula.

$\boxed{ \ 0 = v^2 + 2ad \ }$

$\boxed{ \ v^2 = -2ad \ }$

Both sides are divided by -2d, we get $\boxed{ \ a = \Big( -\frac{v^2}{2d} \Big) \ . . . \ (Equation-1) \ }$

Step-2

We substitute 7.0v as the initial speed, zero for final speed, and Equation-1 into the formula.

$\boxed{ \ 0 = (7.0v)^2 + 2 \Big( -\frac{v^2}{2d} \Big)d' \ }$

Here d' is the stopping distance that we want to look for.

$\boxed{ \ 2 \Big( \frac{v^2}{2d} \Big)d' = (7.0v)^2 \ }$

We crossed out 2 in above and below.

$\boxed{ \ \Big( \frac{v^2}{d} \Big)d' = 49.0v^2 \ }$

We multiply both sides by d.

$\boxed{ \ v^2 d' = 49.0v^2 d \ }$

We crossed out v^2 on both sides.

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ d' = 49.0d \ }}$

Hence, by using two significant figures, the stopping distance if the car is initially traveling at speed 7.0v is 49d.
