On June 9, 1983, the lower part of the Variegated Glacier in Alaska was observed to be moving at a rate of 64 m per day. What is this speed in kilometers per hour?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:
(64 meter/day) x (1 kilometer / 1,000 meters) x (1 day / 24 hours) =

       (64 x 1 x 1) / (1,000 x 24)         (kilometer/hour)  = 

                     1/375  km/hour

                (0.002667 km/hour, rounded)

                 2-2/3 meters/hour

                 (8-ft 9-inches) per hour

A crane has an arm length of 20m inclined at 30deg with the vertical. It carries a container of mass of 1 ton suspended from the top end of the arm. Find the torque produced by the gravitational force on the container about the point where the arm is fixed to the crane. Given: 1 ton = 1000 kg; neglect the weight of the arm. Hint: take the force and perpendicular distance from the point where the arm is fixed to the crane. Note: Express your answer in whole number. No unit is required for the final answer.

Explanation:

When you run around a track at 5 km/h, your velocity is constant.

Answers

No it isn't.  Speed and direction are both components of velocity. 
When you run around the track at 5 km/hr, although your speed is
constant, your direction keeps changing, so your velocity does too.

A force of 34.5 newtons is applied to an object at an angle of 45 º with the horizontal. What is the force acting on the object in the horizontal direction?

Answers

The horizontal component of the force is 34.5 cos(45) = 24.4 newtons

The vertical component of the force is 34.5 sin(45) = 24.4 newtons

Answer:

24.4

Hi there!

We know that:

Potential energy = mgh, where:

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

We know that ΔPE = mgΔh = 1.47 kJ, so:

1.47kJ = mgΔh

Remember to convert kJ to J for simplicity: (1 kJ = 1000J)

1470J = mgΔh

Rearrange to solve for Δh:

1470/mg = Δh

1470/(60 · 9.8) = 2.5m

do you think that this method of identifying unknowns would be effective for identifying any unknown element?

Answers

Unknowns, represented by variables, are effective for identifying the value. They stand for a certain amount, and solving for them would uncover values, like force etc.
