It is your parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary and you thought it would be special to throw them a surprise party. Your entire family is up north at your Traverse City cottage (240 miles from your home) and you plan on waking up early Saturday morning to drive home and set up for the party. You wake up at 10:00 am to head out but to your surprise your parents decide on leaving at 11:00 am instead of 1:00 pm like they originally planned. Your father ALWAYS drives 60 miles per hour on the expressway and it will take you about 2 hours to set up for the party. How fast must you drive in order to get home in enough time to make the surprise a success? Show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.

Answers

Given :

An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west.

It starts at the 14-inch mark, crawls to the 20-inch mark, then moves to the 16-inch mark.

To Find :

The total distance the ant traveled.

Solution :

Total distance travelled by ant = (distance between 14 and 20 inch mark) +

                                                      (distance between 20 and 16 inch mark)

Total distance = (20-14 ) + ( 20-16) = 6 + 4 = 10 inch.

Old thermometers contained very small amounts of mercury. The mercury in the photo has a melting point of −38.8 °C. What can you conclude about the melting point of the mercury in old thermometers?

A. Its melting point can only be determined when the mercury is burned.
B. Its melting point changes as the mercury’s temperature changes.
C. Its melting point equals −38.8 °C because it is mercury.
D. Its melting point is less than −38.8 °C because its volume is smaller.

Answers

Answer:

C. Its melting point equals −38.8 °C because it is mercury.

Explanation:

Given that the old thermometer contained a very small amount of mercury and the melting point of mercury is [tex]-30^{\circ}C[/tex].

The temperature at which any material starts changing from the solid-state to the liquid-state is known as the melting point of the material.

As the melting point of any material does not depends on the amount of material. So, whether there is a small amount of mercury or is a large amount of mercury.

Hence, the melting point remains [tex]-30^{\circ}C[/tex] because it is mercury.

So, option (C) is correct.

As per the definition above, there is no need to burn the mercury to determine the melting point, so option (A) is wrong.

The melting point does not depend on the initial temperature, mass, volume of the material, so options (B) and (D) are wrong.

A car started its motion from rest and accelerated for 6 seconds, with the acceleration of 4 m/s2. Then it decelerated for 5 seconds, with the acceleration of -1.6 m/s2. What was the velocity of the car after 6+5 seconds?

Answers

Answer:

16 m/s

Explanation:

from the formula: a = velocity/time

you calculate the velocity in both cases (when time is 5 sec and 6 sec) by using the formula: velocity = a x time

v (5 sec) =24 m/s

v (6 sec) = - 8 m/s

then : add v (5 sec) to v (6 sec) and the result is 16 m/s

A helicopter pulls upward by means of a rope on a 250 kg crate to lift it UNIFORMLY. What is the net force on the crate?

Answers

Answer:

The net force = 0

Explanation:

The given information includes;

The mass of the crate = 250 kg

The way the helicopter lifts the crate = Uniformly (constant rate (speed), no acceleration)

In order to pull the crate upwards, the helicopter has to provide a force equivalent to the weight of the crate keeping the helicopter on the ground.

The weight of the crate = The mass of the crate × The acceleration due gravity acting on the crate

The weight of the crate, [tex]F_w[/tex]↓ = 250 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 2,452.5 N

The force the helicopter should provide to just lift the crate, [tex]F_{(helicopter)}[/tex]↑ = The weight of the crate = 2,452.5 N

The net force, [tex]F_{(net)}[/tex] = [tex]F_{(helicopter)}[/tex]↑ - [tex]F_w[/tex]↓ = 2,452.5 N - 2,452.5 N = 0

The net force = 0.

Given a helicopter flying up and sideways at a velocity of 95 m/s at an angle of 35º to the ground, find the horizontal component of the velocity. ​

Answers

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity of the helicopter is approximately 77.82 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The speed of the helicopter, v = 95 m/s

The angle in which the helicopter is flying = 35° to the ground

The horizontal component of the velocity is given by the component of the magnitude, R, of the velocity of the helicopter in the x-direction as follows;

[tex]v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}[/tex]

Where;

vₓ = v × cos(θ) = The horizontal component

[tex]v_y = v \times sin(\theta)[/tex] = The vertical component

∴ The horizontal component of the velocity, vₓ, of the helicopter with 95 m/s velocity moving at an angle of 35° to the horizontal is given as follos

vₓ = 95 × cos(35°) ≈ 77.82 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity of the helicopter ≈ 77.82 m/s.

If you were to travel from the equator to the higher latitudes (near either pole) on Saturn, the differential rotation would cause the length of a day that you would measure to be longer by ____ hour(s). [Number accurate to 2 places after the decimal.]

Answers

Answer:

Saturn's differential rotation will cause the length of a day measures to be longer by 0.4 hours

Explanation:

Differential rotation occurs due to the difference in angular velocities of an object as we move along the latitude of the or as we move into different depth of the object, indicating the observed object is in a fluid form

Saturn made almost completely of gas and has differential motion given as follows

Rotation at the equator = 10 hours 14 minutes

Rotation at high altitude = 10 hours 38 minutes

Therefore;

The differential rotation = 10 hours 38 minutes - 10 hours 14 minutes

The differential rotation = 24 minutes = 24 minutes × 1 hour/(60 minutes) = 0.4 hours

The differential rotation = 0.4 hours

Therefore, the measured day at the higher altitude will be 0.4 longer than at the equator.

To increase power, we need to

Answers

Explanation:

To increase power, it is necessary to decrease the work being done and decrease the time in which the work was completed. increase the work being done or decrease the time in which the work is completed.Ma

Answer:

If work is done faster, power is higher. If work is done slower, power is smaller. Since work is force times displacement (W=F*d), and velocity is displacement over time (v=d/t), power equals force times velocity: P = F*v. More power is seen when the system is both strong in force and fast in velocity.
