A hot-air balloon of diameter 12 mm rises vertically at a constant speed of 15 m/sm/s. A passenger accidentally drops his camera

from the railing of the basket when it is 18 mm above the ground. If the balloon continues to rise at the same speed, how high is the railing when the camera hits the ground?

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. With the information provided we will calculate the time it takes for the object to fall. From that time, considering that the ascent rate is constant, we will take the reference distance and calculate the distance traveled while the object hit the ground, that is,

$h = v_0 t -\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$-18 = 15*t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8*t^2$

$t = 3.98s$

Then the total distance traveled would be

$h = h_0 +v_0t$

$h = 18+15*3.98$

$h = 77.7m$

Therefore the railing will be at a height of 77.7m when it has touched the ground

Explanation:

kinetic energy = 14.1 MJ = 14.1 x 10⁶ J

Let radius of flywheel be r .

volume of flywheel = π r² x t where t is thickness

= 3.14 x r² x .113 m³

= .04 r² m³

mass = volume x density

= .04 r² x 7800 = 312.73 r²kg

moment of inertia I = 1 / 2 mass x radius²

= .5 x 312.73 r² x r²

= 156.37 r⁴ kg m²

angular velocity ω = 2π x 93/60

= 9.734 rad /s

kinetic energy = 1/2 Iω² where ω is angular velocity

= .5 x 156.37 r⁴ x 9.734²

= 7408.08 r⁴

Given

7408.08 r⁴ = 14.1 x 10⁶

r⁴ = .19 x 10⁴

r = .66 x 10

= 6.60 m .

Diameter = 13.2 m

b )

centripetal acceleration of a point on its rim = ω² r

= 9.734² x 6.6

= 625.35 m /s²

To initiate a nuclear reaction, an experimental nuclear physicist wants to shoot a proton into a 5.50-fm-diameter 12C nucleus. T

Fantom [35]

Answer:

$V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Nucleus diameter $d=5.50-fm$

a 12C nucleus

Required kinetic energy $K=2.30 MeV$

Generally initial speed of proton must be determined,applying the law of conservation of energy we have

$K_2 +U_2=K_1+U_1$

where

$K_1$ =initial kinetic energy

$K_2$ =final kinetic energy

$U_1$ =initial electric potential

$U_2$ =final electric potential

mathematically

$U_2 = \frac{Kq_pq_c}{r_2}$

where

$r_f$ =distance b/w charges

$q_c$ =nucleus charge $=6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)$

$K$ =constant

$q_p$ =proton charge

Generally kinetic energy is know as

$K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Therefore

$U_2 = \frac{Kq_pq_c}{r_2} + K_2=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2 +U_1$

Generally equation for radius is $d/2$

Mathematically solving for radius of nucleus

$R=(\frac{5.50}{2}) (\frac{1*10^-^1^5m}{1fm})$

$R=2.75*10^-^1^5m$

Generally we can easily solving mathematically substitute into v_1

$q_p$ $=6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)$

$K_1=9.0*10^9 N-m^2/C^2$

$U_1= 0$

$R=2.75*10^-^1^5m$

$K=2.30 MeV$

$m= 1.67*10^-^2^7kg$

$V_1= (\frac{2}{1.67*10^-^2^7kg})^1^/^2 (\frac{(9.0*10^9 N-m^2/C^2)*(6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)(1.6*10^-^1^9C)}{2.75*10^-^1^5m+2.30 MeV(\frac{1.6*10^-^1^3 J}{1 MeV}) }$

$V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s$

Therefore the proton must be fired out with a speed of $V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s$

Choose the situation below in which the force applied is the greatest.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

We know the formula for Work to be:

W = f * d

Where W is work done

f is force

d is the distance

A)

Work = 50

Distance = 50

So, Force is:

Force = 50/50 = 1

B)

Work = 400

Distance = 80

Force = 400/80 = 5

C)

Work = 365

Distance = 73

Force = 365/73 = 5

D)

Work = 144

Distance = 16

Force = 144/16 = 9

Hence, D is the situation in which the force applied is the greatest.
