how to do this A young vandal wishes to hit a truck traveling at a constant speed of 20m/s with a water balloon. If the vandal i

s in a tree, 40 m from the top of the truck, how far should the truck be from the tree when she releases the balloon so that it hits the truck when it is at a position directly beneath her?

Answer:

6.89 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 40=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{40\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.9\ s

The water balloon will take 2.9 seconds to hit the tree

As, the truck is moving at a constant speed of 20 m/s it does not have acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=20\times 2.9+\frac{1}{2}\times 0\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.89\ m

The boy has to release the balloon when the truck is 6.89 m away

3. The propeller of a World War II fighter plane is 2.30 m in diameter. (a) What is its angular velocity in radians per second i
Darya [45]

Answer:

(a) Angular velocity will be 125.6 rad/sec

(b) Linear velocity will be 144.44 m /sec

(c) Centripetal acceleration = 1849.3031 g

Explanation:

We have given diameter d = 2.30 m

So radius r = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.30}{2}=1.15m

(a) Speed is given as 1200 rev/min

We know that angular velocity is given by \omega =\frac{2\pi N}{60}=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 1200}{60}=125.6rad/sec

(b) Linear speed is given by v=\omega r=125.6\times 1.15=144.44m/sec

(c) Centripetal acceleration is given by a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{144.44^2}{1.15}=18141.664m/sec^2

We know that g=9.81m/sec^2

So 18141.66m/sec^2=\frac{18141.664}{9.81}=1849.3031g

A disc is thrown through the air for 1.5 min with a power output of 12.5 W. How much work is done when throwing the disc?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

work = 1125 [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember the definition of power, which is defined as the relationship between work and time. The power can be calculated using the following equation:

Power = work/time

Power = 12.5 [w]

work = joules [J]

time = 1.5 [min] = 90 [s]

work = 12.5*90

work = 1125 [J]

A coin is dropped off of a building landing on its side. It hits with a pressure of 400/2 It hits with a force of 0.1 Calculate
Arte-miy333 [17]

Complete Question:

A coin is dropped off of a building landing on its side. It hits with a pressure of 400 N/m². It hits with a force of 0.1N. Calculate the area of the coin?

Answer:

Area = 0.00025 m²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Pressure = 400N/m²

Force = 0.1N

To find the area of the coin;

Pressure = Force/area

Area = Force/pressure

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area = 0.1/400

Area = 0.00025 m²
