Given,  

Initial Velocity (u) = 0 m/s  

Final Velocity (v) = 25.9 m/s  

Time (t) = 2.5 sec  

avg. acceleration = ?  

avg. acceleration = v-u/t  

avg = 25.9/2.5 = 10.36 m/s²  

avg = 10.36 m/s²

Answer:

Acceleration, a=10.4\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the ride, u = 0 (at rest)

Final speed of the ride, v = 22.9 m/s

Time taken, t = 2.2 s

Let a is the acceleration of the passengers on this ride. It can be calculated using the formula of the acceleration as :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{22.9-0}{2.2}

a=10.4\ m/s^2

So, the time required to bring the car to a stop is 10.4\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

The concept required to solve this problem is associated with potential energy. Recall that potential energy is defined as the product between mass, gravity, and change in height. Mathematically it can be described as

U = mg\Delta h

Here,

\Delta h = Change in height

m = mass of super heroine

g = Acceleration due to gravity

The change in height will be,

\Delta h = h_f - h_i

The final position of the heroin is below the ground level,

h_f = -16.1m

The initial height will be the zero point of our system of reference,

\Delta h = -16.1m-0m

\Delta h = -16.1m

Replacing all this values we have,

U = mg\Delta h

U = (68.1kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-16.1m)

U = -10744.81J

Since the final position of the heroine is located below the ground, there will net loss of gravitational potential energy of 10744.81J

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

Explanation:

The formula for power is P= dhrg

Where P = Power in watts

d = density of water (1000 kg/m^3)

h = height in meters

r = flow rate in cubic meters per second,

g = acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s^2,

Plugging in the known values,

we get

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 80 m * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 80000 kg/m^2 * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 14000000 kg m/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 137200000 kg m^2/s^3

P = 137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

The above figure assumes 100% efficiency which is impossible. A good efficiency would be 90% so the actual power available would be close to 0.90 * 137200 = 123480 kilowatts

Suppose the glass paperweight has index of refraction n=1.38. a) find the value of θ for which the reflection on the vertical su
zimovet [89]

Answer:

a)θ=71.89°

b)NO

Explanation:

Given that

For glass n= 1.38

We know that for air n'=1

The angle  for total internal reflection θc given as

sin θc=n'/n

By putting the values

sin θc=n'/n

sin θc=1/1.38

θc=46.43°

n'sinθ = n sinθref

sinθref = cosθc

n'sinθ =  n cosθc

1 x sinθ =1.38 x cos 46.43°

θ=71.89°

b)

NO
