Answer:
(a) Vf = 128 ft/s
(b) K.E = 122.8 Btu
Explanation:
(a)
In order to find the velocity of the object just before striking the surface of earth or the final velocity, we use 3rd equation of motion:
2gh = Vf² - Vi²
where,
g = 32.2 ft/s²
h = height = 253 ft
Vf = Final Velocity = ?
Vi = Initial Velocity = 10 ft/s
Therefore,
(2)(32.2 ft/s²)(253 ft) = Vf² - (10 ft/s)²
16293.2 ft²/s² + 100 ft²/s² = Vf²
Vf = √(16393.2 ft²/s²)
<u>Vf = 128 ft/s</u>
<u></u>
(b)
The kinetic energy of the object before it hits the surface of earth is given by:
K.E = (0.5)(m)(Vf)²
where,
m = mass of object = 375 lb
K.E = Kinetic energy of object before it strikes the surface of earth = ?
Therefore,
K.E = (0.5)(375 lb)(128 ft/s)²
K.E = 3073725 lb.ft²/s²
Now, converting this to Btu:
K.E = (3073725 lb.ft²/s²)(1 Btu/25037 lb.ft²/s²)
<u>K.E = 122.8 Btu</u>
The centripetal acceleration a is 4.32
10^-4 m/s^2.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The speed is constant and computing the speed from the distance and time for one full lap.
Given, distance = 400 mm = 0.4 m, Time = 100 s.
Computing the v = 0.4 m / 100 s
v = 4
10^-3 m/s.
radius of the circular end r = 37 mm = 0.037 m.
centripetal acceleration a = v^2 / r
= (4
10^-3)^2 / 0.037
a = 4.32
10^-4 m/s^2.
Answer:
a. wavelength of the sound, 
b. observed frequecy, 
Given:
speed of sound source,
= 80 m/s
speed of sound in air or vacuum,
= 343 m/s
speed of sound observed,
= 0 m/s
Solution:
From the relation:
v =
(1)
where
v = velocity of sound
= observed frequency of sound
= wavelength
(a) The wavelength of the sound between source and the listener is given by:
(2)
(b) The observed frequency is given by:


(3)
Using eqn (2) and (3):


He can throw the hammer in the direction opposite to the direction he wants to travel in. The hammer will exert an equal and opposite force on him, as per Newton's third law, and this will help him move towards the space station.
