While dangling a hairdryer by its cord, you observe that the cord is vertical when the hairdryer isoff and, once it is turned on
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

The air exiting from the hairdryer is moving at a speed of 10 m/s.

Explanation:

The thrust generated by the hairdryer enables it to maintain an elevation angled at 5° from vertical; thus, we derive from the force diagram

(1).\: tan (5^o) = \dfrac{F_t}{Mg}

by substituting M =0.420kg, g = 9.8m/s^2 into the equation and resolving for F_t we find:

F_t = Mg\:tan(5^o)

F_t = (0.420kg)(9.8m/s^2)\:tan(5^o)

\boxed{F_t = 0.3601N.}

This thrust is linked to the speed of air ejection v through the equation

(2).\: F_t = v\dfrac{dM}{dt}

where dM/dt signifies the rate of air ejection, which is known to be

0.06m^3/2s  = 0.03m^3/s

and since 1m^3 = 1.2kg,

0.03m^3/s \rightarrow 0.036kg/s

\dfrac{dM}{dt}  = 0.036kg/s,

by inserting these values into equation (2), we obtain the value of F_t as:

0.3601N = 0.036v

resulting in

v= \dfrac{0.3601}{0.036}

\boxed{v =10m/s.}

which indicates the air velocity discharged from the hairdryer.

Justine is ice-skating at the Lloyd Center what is her final velocity if she accelerates at a rate of 2.0 meters per second for
Ostrovityanka [3204]

2*3.5 = 7m/s

You need to multiply the acceleration by the time (which must both be in seconds; if not, convert them to the same units).

A student solving a physics problem for the range of a projectile has obtained the expression r= v20sin(2θ)g where v0=37.2meter/
ValentinkaMS [3465]

The formula for range is:

R = \frac{v_o^2 sin2\theta}{g}

Given values are:

v_0=37.2m/s

where θ equals 14.1 degrees

g=9.80m/s^2

Using the equation above,

R = \frac{37.2^2 sin2*14.1}{9.80}

The calculated range is 66.7 meters.

Therefore, the range is approximately 66.1 meters.

the minute hand on a clock is 9 cm long and travels through an arc of 252 degrees every 42 minutes. To the nearest tenth of a ce
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

The distance covered by the minutes hand is 39.60 cm.

Explanation:

Note: A clock has a circular shape, where the minutes hand acts as the radius, and its motion creates an arc.

Length of an arc is calculated as ∅/360(2πr)

L = ∅/360(2πr).................... Equation 1π

Here, L represents the arc’s length, ∅ is the angle made by the arc, and r is the arc’s radius.

Given: ∅ = 252°, r = 9 cm, π = 3.143.

Upon substituting these values into equation 1,

L = 252/360(2×3.143×9)

L = 0.7×2×3.143×9

L = 39.60 cm.

Thus, the distance traversed by the minutes hand is 39.60 cm.
