A 61.0-kg person jumps from rest off a 10.0-m-high tower straight down into the water. Neglect air resistance. She comes to rest

3.00 m under the surface of the water. Determine the magnitude of the average force that the water exerts on the diver. This force is nonconservative.

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case, law of conservation of energy will be implemented. It states that "the energy of the system remains conserved until or unless some external force act on it. Energy of the system may went through the conversion process like kinetic energy into potential and potential into kinetic energy.But their total always remain the same in conserved systems."

Given data:

Height of tower = 10.0 m

Depth of the pool = 3.00 cm

Mass of person = 61.0 kg

Solution:

Initial energy = Final energy

$U_{i} = (K.E) + U_{f}$

As the person was at height initially so it has the potential energy only.

$mg(h_{1} +h_{2}) = K.E + mgh_{2}$

$K.E = mgh_{1}$

$K.E = (61.0)(9.8)(10)\\K.E = 5978 J$

Lets find out the magnitude of the force that the water is exerting on the diver.

W =ΔK.E

$F.h_{2} = 5978\\$

$F = \frac{5978}{3}$

F = 1992.67 N

How far from Earth must a space probe be along a line toward the Sun so that the Sun's gravitational pull on the probe balances

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

258774.9441 m

Explanation:

x = Distance of probe from Earth

y = Distance of probe from Sun

Distance between Earth and Sun = $x+y=149.6\times 10^6\ m$

G = Gravitational constant

$M_s$ = Mass of Sun = $1.989\times 10^{30}$

$M_e$ = Mass of Earth = $5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg$

According to the question

$\frac{GM_sm}{x^2}=\frac{GM_em}{y^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{M_s}{x^2}=\frac{M_e}{y^2}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{M_s\times y^2}{M_e}}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{1.989\times 10^{30}\times y^2}{5.972\times 10^{24}}}\\\Rightarrow x=577.10852y$

$x+y=149.6\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow 577.10852y+y=149.6\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow 578.10852y=149.6\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow y=\frac{149.6\times 10^6}{578.10852}\\\Rightarrow y=258774.9441\ m$

The probe should be 258774.9441 m from Earth

Answer:

1) as far as I remember

Let's take 20 as vf (final velocity) and 11 as (initial velocity) and 4 as time

So we would use this formula a=vf-vi/t

So 20-11/4

Carbon dioxide gas in a piston–cylinder assembly expands from an initial state where p1 60 lbf/in.2 , V1 1.78 ft3 to a final pre

guapka [62]

Answer:

The amount of Work done during the process = 0.01026 BTU

Explanation:

Initial Pressure ( $P_{1}$ ) = 60 $\frac{lbf}{in^{2} }$

Initial volume ( $V_{1}$ )= 1.78 $ft^{3}$

Final Pressure ( $P_{2}$ ) = 20 $\frac{lbf}{in^{2} }$

Final Volume ( $V_{2}$ ) = We have to calculate.

The relationship between pressure and volume during the process is = P $V^{1.3}$

⇒ $P_{1}$ × $V_{1}^{1.3}$ = $P_{2}$ × $V_{2}^{1.3}$

⇒ $\frac{V_{2} }{V_{1} }$ = $[\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2}}]^{0.77} }$

⇒ $\frac{V_{2} }{V_{1} }$ = $3^{0.77}$

⇒ $\frac{V_{2} }{V_{1} }$ = 2.33

⇒ $V_{2}$ = 2.33 × 1.78

⇒ $V_{2}$ = 4.147 $ft^{3}$ ------------ (1)

The work done during the process is given by W = $\frac{P_{1}V_ {1}- P_{2}V_ {2} }{\gamma - 1}$

Put all the values in the above formula we get

⇒ W = $\frac{106.8 - 82.94}{1.3 - 1}$

⇒ W = 79.54 lb f

We know that 1 lb f = 0.00129 BTU

⇒ W = 0.01026 BTU

This is the amount of Work done during the process in BTU
