A water balloon is thrown horizontally from a tower that is 45 m high. It strikes the shoes of an unsuspecting passerby who is 4

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

14.85 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the balloon to hit the shoe of the passerby. This is illustrated below:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

45 = 4.8 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(45/4.9)

t = 3.03 s

Finally, we shall determine the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon as shown below:

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Time (t) = 3.03 s

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

s = ut

45 = u × 3.03

Divide both side by 3.03

u = 45/3.03

u = 14.85 m/s

Thus, the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon was 14.85 m/s

12. your friend with great excitement tells you about his newest idea to solve the energy crisis: he wants to use an electromoto

mixas84 [53]

I would tell him, in the kindest, most gentle way I could manage,
to fahgeddaboudit.

The total amount of energy doesn't change. Energy is never created,
and it never disappears. If you have some energy, then it had to come
from somewhere, and if you used some energy, then it had to go
somewhere.

You can never get more energy out of the electromotor than you put into it,
and in the real world, you can't even get THAT much out, because some
of it is always used on the way through.

Pour yourself a cold glass of soda, then look up "Perpetual Motion" or
"Free Energy" on the internet, relax, and enjoy the show. They are all
fakes. They may not all be intentionally meant to fool you, but they are
all impossible.

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.

A car is moving at 25.5 m/s when it accelerates at 1.94 m/s^2 for 2.3 s. What is the car's final speed? (Keep in mind direction

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

29.96m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed = 25.5m/s

Acceleration = 1.94m/s²

Time = 2.3s

Unknown:

Final speed of the car = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply the right motion equation:

v = u + at

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

Now insert the parameters and solve;

v = 25.5 + (1.94 x 2.3) = 29.96m/s

A simple pendulum has a period of 3.45 second, when the length of the pendulum is shortened by 1.0m, the period is 2.81 second c

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Original length = 2.97 m

Explanation:

Let the original length of the pendulum be 'L' m

Given:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Original time period of the pendulum (T) = 3.45 s

Now, the length is shortened by 1.0 m. So, the new length is 1 m less than the original length.

New length of the pendulum is, $L_1=L-1$

New time period of the pendulum is, $T_1=2.81\ s$

We know that, the time period of a simple pendulum of length 'L' is given as:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$ -------------- (1)

So, for the new length, the time period is given as:

$T_1=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L_1}{g}}$ ------------ (2)

Squaring both the equations and then dividing them, we get:

$\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}=\dfrac{(2\pi)^2\frac{L}{g}}{(2\pi)^2\frac{L_1}{g}}\\\\\\\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}=\dfrac{L}{L_1}\\\\\\L=\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}\times L_1$

Now, plug in the given values and calculate 'L'. This gives,

$L=\frac{3.45^2}{2.81^2}\times (L-1)\\\\L=1.507L-1.507\\\\L-1.507L=-1.507\\\\-0.507L=-1.507\\\\L=\frac{-1.507}{-0.507}=2.97\ m$

Therefore, the original length of the simple pendulum is 2.97 m
