Two runners start at the same point on a straight track. The first runs with constant acceleration so that he covers 98 yards in

10 seconds. The second runner waited 5 seconds and then throws a rock at his opponent's head. Of the head and the rock are at the same level form the ground, what must the initial magnitude of the velocity be if the rock is to hit the head just at the 98 yard tape? Give the answer in feet per second.

Answer:

94.13 ft/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • t = time interval in which the rock hits the opponent = 10 s - 5 s = 5 s
  • s = distance to be moved by the rock long the horizontal = 98 yards
  • y = displacement to be moved by the rock during the time of flight along the vertical = 0 yard

<u>Assume:</u>

  • u = magnitude of initial velocity of the rock
  • \theta = angle of the initial velocity with the horizontal.

For the motion of the rock along the vertical during the time of flight, the rock has a constant acceleration in the vertically downward direction.

\therefore y = u\sin \theta t +\dfrac{1}{2}(-g)t^2\\\Rightarrow 0 = u\sin \theta 5 +\dfrac{1}{2}(-9.8)\times 5^2\\\Rightarrow u\sin \theta 5 =\dfrac{1}{2}(9.8)\times 5^2......(1)\\

Now the rock has zero acceleration along the horizontal. This means it has a constant velocity along the horizontal during the time of flight.

\therefore u\cos \theta t = s\\\Rightarrow u\cos \theta 5 = 98.....(2)\\

On dividing equation (1) by (2), we have

\tan \theta = \dfrac{25}{20}\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta = 1.25\\\Rightarrow \theta = \tan^{-1}1.25\\\Rightarrow \theta = 51.34^\circ

Now, putting this value in equation (2), we have

u\cos 51.34^\circ\times  5 = 98\\\Rightarrow u = \dfrac{98}{5\cos 51.34^\circ}\\\Rightarrow u =31.38\ yard/s\\\Rightarrow u =31.38\times 3\ ft/s\\\Rightarrow u =94.13\ ft/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the rock must a magnitude of 94.13 ft/s to hit the opponent exactly at 98 yards.

Answer: 0.0138 m^2  = 138 cm^2

Explanation:

The thermal expansion is the term use for the physical phenomena of dilation of the objects when they are exposed to changes in temperature.

The objects dilate when they are heated and contract when they are cooled.

The dilation is proportional to the change in temperatur.

For linear dilation, the proportionality constant is called linear dilation coefficient of the materials, it is named α and is measured in °C ^-1.

ΔL = α * Lo * ΔT, which means that the dilation (or contraction) is proportional to the product of the original length (Lo) and the change of temperature (ΔT).

There is also superficial dilation, for which the dilation is:

ΔA = β * Ao * ΔT, which means that the superficial dilation (or contraction) is proportional to the product of the original area (Ao) and the change of temperature (ΔT).

It is very interesting and important to solve problems that β = 2α, because regularly you will find the values of α for different materials and so, you just to multiply it times 2 to use β.

For this problem:

- Original area, Ao = area of the flat roof at - 10°C = 2.0m * 3.0m = 6.0 m^2.
- α for aluminum = 24 * 10^ -6 °C^-1.
- ΔT = 38°C - (-10°C) = 48°C

So, ΔA = 6.0m^2 * (2 * 24*10^-6 °C&-1) * 48°C = 0.0138 m^2

And that is the area that should stick out in summer to fit the structure during cold winter nights.

You can pass that number to cm^2 to grasp better the idea of this size:

0.0138 m^2 * (100 cm)^2 / m^2 = 138 cm^2

How to find instantaneous velocity physics?
evablogger [386]
You should have the velocity as a function of time either given explicitly or implicitly (a graph)

v = ds/dt  (differentiating the position vector)

integrating the acceleration.

you can use impulse or work and energy principle and also newton law of motion to find acceleration then velocity
