(a) For the first 6.2 s, the car has velocity at time t given by
[tex]v(t)=13.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}+\left(1.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t[/tex]
so that after 6.2 s, it attains a velocity of
[tex]v(6.2\,\mathrm s)=25.28\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}[/tex]
For any time t after 6.2 s, its velocity is given by
[tex]v(t)=25.28\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}+\left(-1.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t[/tex]
which tells us the velocity only falls from this point onward. This means the maximum speed is 25.28 m/s, or about 25.3 m/s.
(b) Solve for t (after 6.2 s) that makes v(t) = 0 :
[tex]25.28\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}+\left(-1.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t=0[/tex]
[tex]\implies t\approx21.067\,\mathrm s[/tex]
It takes the car about 21.2 s to come to a rest, so the car travels a total of about 6.2 s + 21.2 s = 27.4 s.
(c) For the first 6.2 s, the car undergoes a displacement at time t of
[tex]x(t)=\left(13.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.2\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(1.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.2\,\mathrm s)^2[/tex]
[tex]\implies x\approx120.218\,\mathrm m[/tex]
For time t beyond 6.2 s, its displacement is
[tex]x(t)=120.218\,\mathrm m+\left(25.28\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(-1.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2[/tex]
The car comes to a rest after 21.2 s (accelerating at a rate of -1.2 m/s^2), so that its total displacement is
[tex]x(21.2\,\mathrm s)\approx386.49\,\mathrm m[/tex]
so the car travels a total distance of about 387 m.
A cross-country skier can complete a 7.5 km race in 45 min. What is the skier’s average speed?
Answer:
Speed = 10 km/hr
Explanation:
Speed = Distance / Time
Since we have to convert it into minutes to hours ( because it is km/hr )
45 minutes = 0.75 hours

"Find the total weight of an 18-ft3 tank of oxygen if the oxygen is pressurized to 184 psia, the tank itself weighs 150 lbf, and the temperature is 95°F."
Answer:
Explanation:
1 psi = 6894.76 Pa
P = 184 psi = 12.686 x 10⁵ Pa .
Temperature T = 95⁰F = 35⁰C= 308 K
volume V = 18 ft³ = 18 x 0.0283168 m³
= .51 m³
From the gas law
PV/RT = n where n is mole of gas
= 12.686 x 10⁵ x .51 / 8.31 x 308
= 252.78 gm mole
= 252.78 x 32 gm
= 8.08896 kg
= 2.20462 x 8.08896 lb
= 17.833 lb
= 17.833 / 32 lbf
= .5573 lbf
weight of tank = 150 lbf
Total weight = 150 + .5573
= 150.5573 lbf .

Bacteria vary somewhat in size, but a diameter of 1.9 m is not unusual.A. What would be the volume (in cubic centimeters) of such a bacterium, assuming that it is spherical?
B. What would be the surface area (in square millimeters) of such a bacterium, assuming that it is spherical?
Answer:
Volume = 3.6 x 10^-12 cm^3
Area = 1.1 x 10^-5 mm^2
Explanation:
The diameter of the bacteria that is in the shape of spherical = 1.9 m
Now we have to find the volume of the bacteria. So, use the below formula to find the volume of bacteria.
Volume = (4πr^3) / 3
Volume = (4/3)* π*(1.9*10^-6 / 2)^3
Volume = 3.6 x 10^-18 m^3
Volume = 3.6 x 10^-12 cm^3
Now find the surface area.
The surface area = 4πr^2
Area = 4 π (1.9/2)62
Area = 1.1 x 106-11 m^2
Area = 1.1 x 10^-5 mm^2

Explanation:
A cylindrical flask is fitted with an airtight piston that is free to slide up and down. A mass rests on the top of the piston. The initial temperature of the system is 313 K and the pressure of the gas is held constant at 137 kPa. The temperature is now increased until the height of the piston rises from 23.4 cm to 27.0 cm.What is the final temperature of the gas?
Answer:
T2 = 361.15 K
Explanation:
Since pressure is held constant, then we'll use Charles law
Charles law gives that V1/T1 = V2/T2
We are given;
Initial temperature; T1 = 313 K
Initial height; h1 = 23.4 cm
Final height; h2 = 27.0 cm
Now, formula for volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h
V1 = πr²h1 and V2 = πr²h2
Now, since V1/T1 = V2/T2 and we are looking for T2, let's make T2 subject;
T2 = (V2 × T1)/V1
Plugging in the relevant values gives;
T2 = (πr²h2 × 313)/πr²h1
πr² will cancel out to give;
T2 = (h2 × 313)/h1
Putting 23.4 for h1 and 27 for h2 gives;
T2 = (27 × 313)/23.4
T2 = 361.15 K

Explanation:
1. A signal source has an open-circuit voltage of 1V, and a short-circuit current of10mA. What is the source resistance
Answer:
100 Ω
Explanation:
Given that
Open circuit voltage, V = 1 V
Short circuit current, I = 10 mA
Source resistance R, = ?
This is rather a straight forward question. Remember Ohms Law? Current being directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance?
Yeah, that's the formula we'd be using.
Ohms Law states that V = IR, and thus, if we make R subject of the formula, we have
R = V / I, on substituting the values, we have
R = 1 / 10*10^-3
R = 1 / 0.01
R = 100 Ω

average speed for the whole journey?
mph
Answer:
32
Explanation:
The average speed of the car for the remaining is 32 miles/h.
What is average speed?The average speed of any moving object is the ratio of the total distance covered and the total time taken to cover that distance.
Average Speed S= distance /time
Given is a sailboat took 2.5 hours to cover 1/4 of a journey. Then, it covered the remaining 144 miles in 3.5 hours.
If x be the total distance covered during journey, then
3/4 x = 144
x = 192 miles
The total time taken for journey is 2.5 +3.5 = 6 h
The average speed for the whole journey is
Avg speed S= 192 / 6
S = 32 miles/h
Thus, the average speed of the car for the remaining is 32 miles/h.

4) A 1.7kg plate with center of mass in G is supported by a bar and three cables, as shown in the figure below. Determine the voltage developed in the AB, AC and DE cables and the reaction (there is only one) at point O for the equilibrium condition
Explanation:
1) F₁ lies in a plane perpendicular to the xy plane, 60° from the x axis. The angle between F₁ and the +z axis is 30°. Therefore, the vector is:
<F₁> = 20 (sin 30° cos 60° i + sin 30° sin 60° j + cos 30° k)
<F₁> = 20 (¼ i + ¼√3 j + ½√3 k)
<F₁> = 5 i + 5√3 j + 10√3 k
F₂ is in the xy plane. Its slope is -24/7. The vector is:
<F₂> = 12 (-⁷/₂₅ i + ²⁴/₂₅ j + 0 k)
<F₂> = -3.36 i + 11.52 j
F₃ is parallel to the +x axis. The vector is:
<F₃> = 17 (i + 0 j + 0 k)
<F₃> = 17 i
F₄ is parallel to the -z axis. The vector is:
<F₄> = 15 (0 i + 0 j − k)
<F₄> = -15 k
F₅ is in the xy plane. It forms a 15° angle with the -y axis. The vector is:
<F₅> = 9 (-sin 15° i − cos 15° j + 0 k)
<F₅> = -9 sin 15° i − 9 cos 15° j
The resultant vector is therefore:
<F> = (5 − 3.36 + 17 − 9 sin 15°) i + (5√3 + 11.52 − 9 cos 15°) j + (10√3 − 15) k
<F> = 16.31 i + 11.49 j + 2.32 k

2072 kgm = 351 kgm + 810 kgm cos θ + 153 kgm + 720 kgm cos θ + 232 kgm
1336 kgm = 1530 kgm cos θ

A softball player is testing her physics knowledge and tosses a softball upward from the top of a building. The building is 100 m tall and the ball starts with a velocity of 10 m/s.a. What is the maximum height the ball reaches and at what time? b. How much time does it take for the ball to go from h=50 m to h=0 m on the way down? c. What is the velocity when h=50 m?
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply newton's laws formula
a )
initial velocity in upward direction u = 10 m/s
acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8/ m .s²
Let h be the maximum height where v = o
v² = u² - 2gh
0 = 10² - 2 gh
h = 10² / 2g
= 10² / 2 x 9.8
= 5.10 m
Since the ball was thrown from height of 100 m , total maximum height of ball
= 100 + 5.10
= 105.10 m
Let t be the time taken
v = u - gt
0 = 10 - gt
t = 10 / 9.8
= 1.02 s
b )
when h = 50 on its way downwards , velocity
v² = u² + 2 g s
v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x ( 105.10 - 50 )
[ distance travelled by ball at this point from top = 105.1 - 50 = 55.10 ]
v = 32.86 m / s
Let us find out final velocity of touching the ground . For it distance travelled = 105.10
v² = u² + 2gh
v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 105.1
v = 45.39 m /s
Now velocity at h = 50 is 32.86
velocity at h = 0 is 45.39
time taken to travel fro h = 50 to h = 0
v = u + gt
45 .39 = 32.86 + 9.8 x t
t = 1.28 s .
a quarterback throws a football in a high, arching spiral to a receiver running down the field. where is the football traveling the fastest? where is it traveling the slowest?
Answer:
Travelling fastest: when the football leaves the hands of the quarterback and when the receiver gets it
Travelling slowest: at the very top of then arched trajectory
Explanation:
Notice that this example can be analyzed with a two dimensional pattern as in the launching of a cannonball, where we study separately the velocities and acceleration acting vertically and horizontally.
The football is thrown at an agle with the horizontal with an initial velocity that is decomposed in the vertical and in the horizontal axes.
The Horizontal movement of the football is that of an object with constant velocity (that of the horizontal component of the initial velocity imparted by the quarterback) .
The vertical movement of the football is that of an object moving in an accelerated fashion, with constant acceleration due to the gravitational field, and with an initial velocity opposite to that constant acceleration. The initial velocity is that of the vertical component of the initial velocity imparted by the quarterback.
AT every point on the path of the ball, its velocity can be calculated by the vector addition of the horizontal component (with constant velocity as we discussed above) and the vertical component (this velocity is changing since its is under accelerated motion) of the object's velocity at any given time through the path.
The maximum velocity of the football will be at the point where the two components are at their maximum (that is when the football leaves the hand of the thrower, and when it gets to the hands of the receiver.
While the minimum is going to be when the vertical component of the velocity is at is minimum (zero) at the top of the arched trajectory when the football changes vertical direction and starts heading downwards.

You are an engineer in charge of designing a new generation of elevators for a prospective upgrade to the Empire State Building. Before the state legislature votes on funding for the project, they would like you to prepare a report on the benefits of upgrading the elevators. One of the numbers that they have requested is the time it will take the elevator to go from the ground floor to the 102nd floor observatory. They are unlikely to approve the project unless the new elevators make the trip much faster than the old elevators. If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 2.40 m/s2 or travel faster than 18.8 m/s , what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor
Answer:
t_total = 23.757 s
Explanation:
This is a kinematics exercise.
Let's start by calculating the distance and has to reach the limit speed of
v = 18.8 m / s
v = v₀ + a t₁
the elevator starts with zero speed
v = a t₁
t₁ = v / a
t₁ = 18.8 / 2.40
t₁ = 7.833 s
in this time he runs
y₁ = v₀ t₁ + ½ a t₁²
y₁ = ½ a t₁²
y₁ = ½ 2.40 7.833²
y₁ = 73.627 m
This is the time and distance traveled until reaching the maximum speed, which will be constant throughout the rest of the trip.
x_total = x₁ + x₂
x₂ = x_total - x₁
x₂ = 373 - 73,627
x₂ = 299.373 m
this distance travels at constant speed,
v = x₂ / t₂
t₂ = x₂ / v
t₂ = 299.373 / 18.8
t₂ = 15.92 s
therefore the total travel time is
t_total = t₁ + t₂
t_total = 7.833 + 15.92
t_total = 23.757 s
Calculate the angle θ between the radius-vector of the point and the positive x axis (measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis, within the limits of −180◦ to +180◦ ). Answer in units of ◦
The point obviously is in the 3rs quadrant
So
စ= tan^-1( y/x)-180
စ= -89.7°
The angle θ between the radius-vector of the point and the positive x axis is -89.7°
What is radius vector?Radius vector is defined as the length of the line that connects a stationary point to a moving point.
It can be defined as a line connecting a circle's center to a particle's location on its circumference.
It can also be defined as the straight line connecting two bodies moving in relative orbits, such as the path a planet takes to reach the sun at any given point along its orbit.
It is also known as position vector or location vector.
The unit vector pointing radially outward from the origin is the gradient of the position vector's length. It is typical for the spheres that are centered on the origin to have level surfaces.
Evidently, the location is in the third quadrant.
So, θ= tan⁻¹ (y / x) - 180
θ= - 89.7°
Thus, the angle θ between the radius-vector of the point and the positive x axis is -89.7°
