A science student is riding on a flatcar of a train traveling along a straight horizontal track at a constant speed of 10.5 m/s.
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Height as seen by the professor = 38.2 m

Explanation:

Angle of throw = θ = 69°

Velocity of throw = v

X component of velocity = v₁ = v cos 69 = 0.3584 v m/s

Vertical component of the velocity = v₂ =  v sin 69 = 0.9336 v m/s

v₂ / v₁ = tan 69 = 2.605

v₂ = 2.605 v₁.

Professor sees as if the x component of velocity =0

v (as seen by professor) + v'  = 0

=> v  as seen by professor = -v' = -10.5 m/s

This shows that y component of the ball's velocity is 2.605 times its x component of velocity.

with respect to the professor, there is only y component of velocity.

v₂' =v₂ = 2.605 ( -10.5) = 27.4 m/s.

Height as seen by the professor = (27.4)² / 2(9.8) = 38.2 m

TRUE OR FALSE : Boyle’s law states that, as the pressure of a gas increases, the volume decreases.
White raven [17]

True, but only if the temperature of the gas doesn't change ...
which is pretty hard to manage when you're compressing it.

I think Boyle's law actually says something like

       (pressure) x (volume) / (temperature)  =  constant.

So you can see that if you want to say anything about two of the
quantities, you always have to stipulate that the statement is true
as long as the third one doesn't change.

A 790N person runs up a flight of 40 stairs (.25m for each step) in 20 seconds, and then down 10 steps in 5 seconds. How much to
Romashka [77]

A person runs up 40 stairs and then come down 10 steps

So total stairs upwards is given as

N = 40 - 10 = 30

now here we will have total height reached

H = N\times h

H = 30 \times 0.25 = 7.5 m

Now total energy used or mechanical work done is

W = mgH

W = 790 \times 7.5 = 5925 J

Now the mechanical power is given as

P = \frac{W}{t}

P = \frac{5925}{20+ 5} = 237 W
