- A gear train consists of three gears meshed together (Figure 9). The middle gear is known as an idler. Show that the angular velocity of the third gear does not depend on the number of teeth of the idler gear (Gear 2).arrow_forwardIn Figure 208, gear A is turning at 120 revolutions per minute and gear B is turning at 3.6 revolutions per second. Determine the ratio of the speed of gear A to the speed of gear B.arrow_forwardVelocity at the Equator Assuming the radius of the earth is 4,000 miles, use the information from Problem 43 to find the linear velocity of a person standing on the equator.arrow_forward
- Find the intensity of light at a depth of 12 meter if I0=14 and k=0.7. Round to two decimals.arrow_forwardA hiker walks 2.55 km south and then 2.75 km east, all in 3.80 hours. HINT (a) Calculate the magnitude (in km) and direction (in degrees south of east) of the hiker's displacement during the given time. magnitude km direction south of east (b) Calculate the magnitude (in km/h) and direction (in degrees south of east) of the hiker's average velocity during the given time. magnitude direction km/h south of east (c) What was her average speed (in km/h) during the same time interval? km/harrow_forwardJack and Jill are 6th graders. Jill is on a merry-go-round that has a radius of 8 feet. Jack runs, pushing it until the merry-go-round is spinning at 6 rpm. He then jumps on and holds onto a rail at the outside edge. After a couple of times around, Jill is tired of sharing the merry-go-round, so she pushes Jack off the ride. What is Jack's linear velocity in feet/second as he flies through the air? Round to one decimal.arrow_forward
- A Ferris wheel at a theme park rotates in an anticlockwise direction at a constant rate. People enter the cars of the Ferris wheel from a platform which is above ground level. The Ferris wheel does not stop at any time. The Ferris wheel has 16 cars, spaced evenly around the circular structure. A spider attached itself to the point P on the side of car C when the point P was at its lowest point at time 1.00 pm. The height, h metres, of the point P above ground level, at time t hours after 1.00 pm is given by h(t)=62+60 sin(((5t-1)pi)/2) a) Write down the maximum height, in metres, of the point P above ground level. b)Write down the minimum height, in metres, of the point P above ground level. c) At what time, after 1.00 pm, does point P first return to its lowest point? d)Find the time, after 1.00 pm, when P first reaches a height of 92 metres above ground level. e)Find the number of minutes during one rotation that P is at least 92 metres above ground level.arrow_forward41. Police Investigation Police officer Patricia Malloy is investigating an automobile accident. A car slid off an icy road at a 40° angle with the center line of the road with an initial velocity of 47 miles per hour. Use the drawing to determine the initial horizontal and vertical components of the car's velocity.arrow_forwarde An airplane flying on a straight flight path will be exactly above a radar tracking station, which is 5,000 km below the path. When the distance of the plane from the station is 40,000 km, this distance decreases at the rate of 8,000 km/hr. At what rate is the plane flying at that instance? novi f. A truck travelling southwards at 40 kph and a car traveling eastward at a rate of 60 kph are headed for an intersection. At what rate are the vehicles approaching each other when the truck is 1 km from the intersection while the car is 2 km from the intersection? g. Water is being poured at the rate of 5 m³/sec into an inverted conical tank of radius 10 m and altitude 20 m. How fast is the water level rising when the water level is at 8 m? (Note: Here you will be using the concepts of similar triangles in order to rewrite the radius in terms of the height.) itoun bont h. A particle is moving along the curve with equation y = 3-x.

- A commuter airplane starts from an airport and it first flies to a city A located at 200 km on a direction 30° north of east. Next it flies 150 km 20° west of north to city B. a. Using graphical method, draw both displacements using scale: 50 km = 1cm. b. Find the location of city B relative to the location of the starting poin. c. Find x and y components of each displacement. d. What are x and y components of resultant displacement? e. Using Pythagorean theorem and tangent function find magnitude and direction of resultant displacement.arrow_forwardA fish is reeled in at a rate of 4.4 feet per second from a point 10 feet above the water. At what rate is the angle between the line and the water changing when there is a total of 25 feet of line out? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)arrow_forward
