(a) 6.43\cdot 10^5 J

The total mechanical energy of the projectile at the beginning is the sum of the initial kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U):

E=K+U

The initial kinetic energy is:

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

where m = 58.0 kg is the mass of the projectile and v=140 m/s is the initial speed. Substituting,

K=\frac{1}{2}(58 kg)(140 m/s)^2=5.68\cdot 10^5 J

The initial potential energy is given by

U=mgh

where g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and h=132 m is the height of the cliff. Substituting,

U=(58.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(132 m)=7.5\cdot 10^4 J

So, the initial mechanical energy is

E=K+U=5.68\cdot 10^5 J+7.5\cdot 10^4 J=6.43\cdot 10^5 J

(b) -1.67 \cdot 10^5 J

We need to calculate the total mechanical energy of the projectile when it reaches its maximum height of y=336 m, where it is travelling at a speed of v=99.2 m/s.

The kinetic energy is

K=\frac{1}{2}(58 kg)(99.2 m/s)^2=2.85\cdot 10^5 J

while the potential energy is

U=(58.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(336 m)=1.91\cdot 10^5 J

So, the mechanical energy is

E=K+U=2.85\cdot 10^5 J+1.91 \cdot 10^5 J=4.76\cdot 10^5 J

And the work done by friction is equal to the difference between the initial mechanical energy of the projectile, and the new mechanical energy:

W=E_f-E_i=4.76\cdot 10^5 J-6.43\cdot 10^5 J=-1.67 \cdot 10^5 J

And the work is negative because air friction is opposite to the direction of motion of the projectile.

(c) 88.1 m/s

The work done by air friction when the projectile goes down is one and a half times (which means 1.5 times) the work done when it is going up, so:

W=(1.5)(-1.67\cdot 10^5 J)=-2.51\cdot 10^5 J

When the projectile hits the ground, its potential energy is zero, because the heigth is zero: h=0, U=0. So, the projectile has only kinetic energy:

E = K

The final mechanical energy of the projectile will be the mechanical energy at the point of maximum height plus the work done by friction:

E_f = E_h + W=4.76\cdot 10^5 J +(-2.51\cdot 10^5 J)=2.25\cdot 10^5 J

And this is only kinetic energy:

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

So, we can solve to find the final speed:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.25\cdot 10^5 J)}{58 kg}}=88.1 m/s

Can someone pleaseeee answer this !!!!!!
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The person with locked legs will experience greater impact force.

Explanation:

Let the two persons be of nearly equal mass (say m)

The final velocity of an object (person) dropped from a height H (here 2 meters) is given by,

v=\sqrt{2gH}

(g = acceleration due to gravity)

which can be derived from Newton's equation of motion,

v^2=u^2+2aS

Now, the time taken (say t ) for the momentum ( mv ) to change to zero will be more in the case of the person who bends his legs on impact than who keeps his legs locked.

We know that,

Force=\frac{\Delta(mv)}{t}

Naturally, the person who bends his legs will experience lesser force since t is larger.

An unstable particle is created in the upper atmosphere from a cosmic ray and travels straight down toward the surface of the ea
german

Answer:

Q1)  Time taking by particle to travel the 40 km wrt. earth = 1.34\times10^{-6} sec.

Q2) The distance traveled by particle where the particle created to surface of earth wrt. particle's frame = 3.84 km.

Q3) The time taking by particle to travel from where it is created to the surface of the earth = 1.285\times10^{-5} sec.

Explanation:

Given :

Speed of particle wrt. earth v=0.99537c

Distance between where particle is created and earth surface = 40 km

we know that,

⇒       v = \frac{x}{t}

Where x = 40\times10^{3} m, v = 0.99537c, we know speed of light c = 3 \times10^{8}

∴      t = \frac{x}{v}

         = \frac{40 \times10^{3} }{0.99537\times3\times10^{8} }

      t = 1.34\times10^{-6} sec

∴ Thus, time taking by particle to travel the 40 km wrt. earth t = 1.34\times10^{-6} sec

According to the lorentz transformation,

⇒    l = l_{o} \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

Where l = improper length, l_{o} =proper length (distance measured wrt. rest frame) = 40 km

     l = 40 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2 }

     l = 40 \times 0.096

     l = 3.84 km

∴ Thus, the distance traveled by particle where the particle created to surface of earth wrt. particle's frame = 3.84 km.

According to the time dilation,

   \Delta t = \frac{\Delta t_{o} }{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

Where \Delta t = improper time (wrt. earth frame time) =1.34\times10^{-6} sec ,  \Delta t _{o} = proper time (wrt. particle frame).

 1.34\times10^{-6} = \frac{ \Delta t_{o}}{0.096}

 \Delta t_{o} = 1.285 \times10^{-5} sec

Thus, the time taking by particle to travel from where it is created to the surface of the earth = 1.285 \times10^{-5} sec.

A gas undergoes a process in a piston–cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pv1.3 = constant.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Change in specific internal Energy=250\ \rm Btu/lb

Explanation:

Given:

  • Mass of the gas, m=0.4 lb
  • Initial pressure and volume are p_1=160\ \rm lbf/in^2\ and\ v_1=1\ \rm ft^3\\
  • Final pressure and temperature are p_1=480\ \rm lbf/in^2
  • Heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu

Since the process is isotropic we have

p_1v_1^{1.3}=p_2v_2^{1.3}\\160\times 1^{1.3}=480\times v_2^{1.3}\\v_2=0.43\ \rm ft^3\\

So the final volume of the gas is calculated.

Work in any isotropic is given by w

w=\dfrac{p_1v_1-P_2v_2}{n-1}\\\\w=\dfrac{160\times1-480\times0.43}{1.3-1}\\w=-154.67\ \rm Btu\\

According to the first law of thermodynamics we have

Q=\Delta U+w\\-2.1=\Delta U-154.67\\\Delta U=152.56\ \rm Btu\\

So the Specific Internal Change is given by

\Delta u=\dfrac{\Delta U}{m}\\\Delta u=\dfrac{152.56}{0.4}\\\Delta u=250\ \rm Btu/lb

So the specific Change in Internal energy is calculated.
