We need to use the kinematic equation
S=ut+(1/2)at^2
where
S=displacement (+=up, in metres)
u=initial velocity (m/s)
t=time (seconds)
a=acceleration (+=up, in m/s^2)
Substitute values
S=displacement = 1.96-2.27 = -0.31 m (so that shot does not hit his head)
u=11.1
a=-9.81 (acceleration due to gravity)
-0.31=11.1t+(1/2)(-9.81)t^2
Rearrange and solve for t
-4.905t^2+11.1t-0.31=0
t=-0.02756 or t=2.291 seconds
Reject the negative root to give
t=2.29 seconds (to 3 significant figures)
Mars.
Water exists as small amounts of ice on Mars and as water vapor. It is suspected that Mars used to have flowing water on it, but that there is none left now.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
From Newton's law of motion, we have:
V^2 = U^2 + 2gH
Where V and U are final and initial velocity respectively.
H is the height.
For the object to have a sustain a maximum height it means the final velocity of the object is zero.
By computing the height of the object sustain by A, we have:
0^2 = 2^2 -2×10×H
0= 4 -20H
4 = 20H;
H= 0.2m
For object B we have;
0^2 = 1^2 -2×10×H
0 = 1 -20H
H = 1/20= 0.05m
From computing the height sustain by both objects, we see object B is projected at a shorter height into atmosphere than A.
Hence object B will return to the ground first.
Answer:
The sound intensity of train is 1000 times greater than that of the library.
Explanation:
We have expression for sound intensity level,
A train whistle has a sound intensity level of 70 dB
We have
A library has a sound intensity level of about 40 dB
We also have
Dividing both equations
The sound intensity of train is 1000 times greater than that of the library.
Answer:
a) I = 464 kg m², b) K = 631 .6 J, c) v = 8.25 m / s
Explanation:
a) the moment of inertia of point particles is
I = ∑ m_i r_i²
in this case
I = 8 5² + 3 (-2) ² + 7 (-6) ²
I = 464 kg m²
b) The kinetic energy is
K = ½ I w²
K = ½ 464 1.65²
K = 631 .6 J
c) linear and angular velocity are related
v = w r
v = 1.65 5
v = 8.25 m / s
