Answer:

38.47 m

Explanation:

To find the height of the building, we will use the following equation

$y_f=y_i+v_{iy}t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Where yf is the final height, yi is the initial height, viy is the initial vertical velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration due to gravity.

If the brick is in flight for 3.1 s, we can say that when t = 3.1s, yf = 0 m. So, replacing

viy = (16 m/s)sin(10) = 2.78 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

we get

$0=y_i+2.78(3.1)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(3.1)^2$

Solving for yi

$\begin{gathered} 0=y_i-38.48 \\ y_i=38.48\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the height of the building is 38.48 m

Suddenly a worker picks up the bag of gravel. Use energy conservation to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.3

fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

A worker picks up the bag of gravel. We need to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest. It is case of conservation of energy. So,

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh}$

h = 2.3 m

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.3} \\\\v=6.71\ m/s$

So, the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest is 6.71 m/s.

Mr. Mehta cut several 275-centimeter lengths of wallpaper to put in his

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

2.75 meters.

Explanation:

1 meter = 100 centimeters.

There are 275 centimeters.

275/100=2.75

So, each piece of wallpaper was 2.75 meters long.

A swimming pool is 50 ft wide and 100 ft long and its bottom is an inclined plane, the shallow end having a depth of 4 ft and th

Nina [5.8K]

Explanation:

We define force as the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

It means that the object has zero net force when it is in rest state or it when it has no acceleration. However in the case of liquids. just like the above mentioned case, the water is at rest but it is still exerting a pressure on the walls of the swimming pool. That pressure exerted by the liquids in their rest state is known as hydro static force.

Given Data:

Width of the pool = w = 50 ft

length of the pool = l= 100 ft

Depth of the shallow end = h(s) = 4 ft

Depth of the deep end = h(d) = 10 ft.

weight density = ρg = 62.5 lb/ft

Solution:

a) Force on a shallow end:

$F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(4)}{2}(2(0)+4)$

$F = 25000 lb$

b) Force on deep end:

$F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(10)}{2} (2(0)+10)$

$F = 187500 lb$

c) Force on one of the sides:

As it is mentioned in the question that the bottom of the swimming pool is an inclined plane so sum of the forces on the rectangular part and triangular part will give us the force on one of the sides of the pool.

1) Force on the Rectangular part:

$F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{2}(2(x_{1} )+ h)$

$x_{1} = 0\\h_{s} = 4ft$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(100)(2)}{2}(2(0)+4)$

$F =25000lb$

2) Force on the triangular part:

$F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{6} (3x_{1} +2h)$

here

h = h(d) - h(s)

h = 10-4

h = 6ft

$x_{1} = 4ft\\$

$F = \frac{62.5 (100)(6)}{6} (3(4)+2(6))$

$F = 150000 lb$

now add both of these forces,

F = 25000lb + 150000lb

F = 175000lb

d) Force on the bottom:

$F = \frac{pgw\sqrt{l^{2} + ((h_{d}) - h(s)) } (h_{d}+h_{s}) }{2}$

$F = \frac{62.5(50)\sqrt{100^{2}(10-4) } (10+4) }{2}$

$F = 2187937.5 lb$
