The following conversions occur frequently in physics and are very useful. (a) Use 1 mi = 5280 ft and 1 h = 3600 s to convert 60 mph to units of ft/s. (b) The acceleration of a freely falling object is 32 ft/s2. Use 1 ft = 30.48 cm to express this acceleration in units of m/s2. (c) The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. Convert this density to units of kg/m3.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The velocity in ft/s is 88 ft/s.

(b) The acceleration in m/s2 is 18.3 m/s2.

(c) The density in kg/m3 is 1000 kg/m3.

Step by step solution

01

Conversion in ft/s

Part (a)

The conversion in ft/s is shown below,

60mph=60mih脳5280ft1mile脳1h3600s60mph=88ft/s

Thus, the value in ft/s is 88 ft/s.

02

Conversion in m/s2

Part (b)

The conversion in m/s2 is shown below,

32ft/s2=60fth脳30.48cm1ft脳1m100cm32ft/s2=18.3m/s2

Thus, the value in m/s2 is 18.3 m/s2

03

Conversion in m/s2

Part (c)

The conversion in kg/m3 is shown below,

1g/cm3=1gcm3脳100cm1m3脳1kg1000g1g/cm3=1000kg/m3

Thus, the value of density in kg/m3 is 1000 kg/m3.

On a training flight, a student pilot flies from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Clarinda, Iowa, next to St. Joseph, Missouri, and then to Manhattan, Kansas

(Fig. P1.66). The directions are shown relative to north: 0掳is north, 90掳is east, 180掳is south, and 270掳is west. Use the method of components to find (a) the distance she has to fly from Manhattan to get back to Lincoln, and (b) the direction (relative to north) she must fly to get there. Illustrate your solutions with a vector diagram.

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

You are standing at rest at a bus stop. A bus moving at a constant speed of 5.00 m/spasses you. When the rear of the bus 12 m ispast you, you realize that it is your bus, so you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of0.960m/s2. How far would you have to run before you catch up with the rear of the bus, and how fast must you be running then? Would an average college student be physically able to accomplish this?

A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of22.0 m/s from the edge of the roof of a 30.0-m-tall building. Therock doesn鈥檛 hit the building on its way back down and lands onthe street below. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the speed of therock just before it hits the street? (b) How much time elapses fromwhen the rock is thrown until it hits the street?

Three uniform spheres are fixed at the positions shown in Fig. P13.43. (a) What are the magnitude and direction of the force on a 0.0150-kg particle placed at P? (b) If the spheres are in deep outer space and a 0.0150-kg particle is released from rest 300 m from the origin along a line 45掳 below the x-axis, what will the particle鈥檚 speed be when it reaches the origin?
