Problem 40PE (a) A world record was set for the mens 100-m dash in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing by Usain Bolt of Jamaica. Bolt coasted across the finish line with a time of 9.69 s. If we assume that Bolt accelerated for 3.00 s to reach his maximum speed, and maintained that speed for the rest

To get a flat, uniform cylindrical satellite spinning at the correct rate, engineers fire four tangential rockets as shown in Fig. 8-44. If the satellite has a mass of 3600 kg and a radius of 4.0 m, what is the required steady force of each rocket if the satellite is to reach 32rpm in 5.0 min?

A classic 1957 Chevrolet Corvette of mass 1240 kg starts from rest and speeds up with a constant tangential acceleration of 2.0 \(m/s^2\) on a circular test track of radius 60.0 m. Treat the car as a particle. (a) What is its angular acceleration? (b) What is its angular speed 6.00 s after it starts?

Distance between Bus Stops Consider a city that decreases the distances between bus stops, which decreases the walking time of bus riders by 20 percent, increases the in-vehicle (line-haul) time by 10 percent, and increases operating cost by 10 percent. On the typical bus line, the initial ridership

Predict all approximate bond angles about each highlighted carbon atom. To make these predictions, use valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory (Section 1.4).
