The hand of the canadarm used on the space shuttle can moved up to 60cm/s without a load attached, what is the minimum time for the canadarm’s hand to move 1.20m?
60cm = 0.6m, so
1.2m / (0.6m/s) = 2.0s
To find the minimum time for the Canadarm's hand to move 1.20m, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
Given:
Distance = 1.20m
Speed = 60cm/s
First, let's convert the speed from cm/s to m/s:
60cm/s = 0.60m/s
Now, we can calculate the time:
Time = 1.20m / 0.60m/s
Time = 2 seconds
Therefore, the minimum time for the Canadarm's hand to move 1.20m is 2 seconds.
To determine the minimum time for the Canadarm's hand to move 1.20m, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
In this case, the distance is 1.20m and the speed is 60cm/s. However, we need to convert the speed from centimeters per second to meters per second because the distance is given in meters.
To convert cm/s to m/s, divide the speed by 100:
60cm/s / 100 = 0.6m/s
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
Time = 1.20m / 0.6m/s
Time = 2 seconds
Therefore, the minimum time for the Canadarm's hand to move 1.20m is 2 seconds.
