Answer:

a) It takes the stone 0.7743 s to reach a height of 11 m for the first time on its way up and 2.899 s to reach again that height on its way down.

b) At t = 0.7743 s the velocity is 10.41 m/s and at t = 2.899 s the velocity is -10.41 m/s.

c) There are two answers because the stone reaches the height of 11 m one time on its way up and one more time again on its way down.

Please, see the attached figures and the explanation for a description of the figures.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations for the height and velocity of the stone are as follows:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height

y0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

v = velocity at time t

a) Let´s calculate the time it takes the stone to reach a height of 11 m. The origin of the frame of reference is at the throwing point so that y0 = 0:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²        

11 m = 18 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²    

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 18 m/s · t - 11 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 0.7743 s and t = 2.899 s

(Notice that I have used more significant figures to avoid error by rounding)

The stone will be two times at a height of 11 m, one on its way up (at 0.7743 s) and one on its way down  (at 2.899 s). Then, it takes the stone 0.7743 s to reach a height of  11 m for the first time.

b)  Let´s use the equation of velocity:

v = v0 + g · t

at t = 0.77443 s

v = 18 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.77443 s

v = 10.41 m/s

at t = 2.899 s

v = 18 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 2.899 s

v = - 10.41 m/s

(Both velocities have to be of the same magnitude but of different sign, that´s why I haven´t rounded the time.)

c) There are two answers because the stone reaches the height of 11 m one time on its way up and one more time again on its way down. On its way up, the velocity is 10.41 m/s and on its way down it is -10.41 m/s.

Figures

The functions to plot are the following:

height in function of time (figure 1, x-axis: time. y-axis: height)

y = -4.9t² + 18t

velocity in function of time (figure 2, x-axis: time. y-axis velocity)

v = -9.8t + 18

Acceleration in function of time (figure 3, x-axis: time. y-axis: acceleration)

a = -9.8

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(a) 17634.24 Ω

(b) 0.0068 A

Explanation:

(a)

The formula for inductive inductance is given as

X' = 2πFL................... Equation 1

Where X' = inductive reactance, F = frequency, L = inductance

Given: F = 60 Hz, L = 46.8 H, π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 1

X' = 2(3.14)(60)(46.8)

X' = 17634.24 Ω

(b)

From Ohm's law,

Vrms = X'Irms

Where Vrms = Rms Voltage, Irms = rms Current.

make Irms the subject of the equation

Irms = Vrms/X'...................... Equation 2

Given: Vrms = 120 V, X' = 17634.24 Ω

Substitute into equation 2

Irms = 120/17634.24

Irms = 0.0068 A

A 20 kg crate initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 80 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Find the coefficient
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

<em>The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

Fr=\mu N          [1]

Where \mu is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W = m.g

The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:

W = 20*9.8

W = 196 N

The normal force is also N=196 N

We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for \mu:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{Fr}{N}

The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{80}{196}

\mu=0.41

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41

A 51-kg woman runs up a vertical flight of stairs in 5.0 s. Her net upward displacement is 5.0 m. Approximately, what average po
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The average power the woman exerts is 0.5 kW

Explanation:

We note that power, P = The rate at which work is done = Work/Time

Work = Energy

The total work done is the potential energy gained which is the energy due to vertical displacement

Given that the vertical displacement = 5.0 m, we have

Total work done = Potential energy gained = Mass, m × Acceleration due to gravity, g × Vertical height, h

m = 51 kg

g = Constant = 9.81 m/s²

h = 5.0 m

Also, time, t = 5.0 s

Total work done = 51 kg × 9.81 m/s²× 5 m = 2501.55 kg·m²/s² = 2501.55 J

P = 2501.55 J/(5 s) = 500.31 J/s = 500.31 W ≈ 500 W = 0.5 kW.

Describe the difference between the velocity graph made walking at a steady rate and the velocity graph made at an increasing ra
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The difference between the velocity graph made walking at a steady rate means that its the same value in time, that means there's no slope on the graph, so its acceleration is 0

On the other hand, if the velocity is increasing with time, the slope of the graph becomes positive, which means that the acceleration of the particle is positive.
