A dynamite blast propels a heavy rock straight up with a launch velocity of 160ft/sec (about 109 mph). Write a position for the

height of the rock.
a. How high does the rock go?
b. What is the velocity and speed of the rock when it is 256 ft above the ground on the way up? On the way down?
c. What is the acceleration of the rock at any time t during its flight (after the blast)?
d. When does the rock hit the ground?

A) Using:
2as = v² - u², where v will be 0 at max height
s = -(160)² / 2 x -32.174
s = 397.8 ft

b) Using:
s = ut + 1/2 at²
256 = 160t - 16.1t²
solving for t,
t = 2.0, t = 7.9
Now, v = u + at, for both times:
v(2) = 160 - 32.174(2)
v(2) = 95.7 ft/sec on the way up

v(7.9) = 160 - 32.174(7.9)
v(7.9) = -94.3 ft/sec; 94.3 ft/sec on the way down

c) -32.174 ft/s², which is the acceleration due to gravity.

d) s = 0
0 = 160t - 1/2 x 32.174t²
t = 9.94 seconds

A conducting sphere with radius R is charged until the magnitude of the electric field just outside its surface is E. The electr
dusya [7]

Answer:

he correct answer is V = ER

Explanation:

In this exercise they give us the electric field on the surface of the sphere and ask us about the electric potential, the two quantities are related

                ΔV = ∫ E.ds

where E is the elective field and normal displacement vector.

Since E is radial in a spray the displacement vector is also radial, the dot product e reduces to the algebraic product.

                 ΔV = ∫ E ds

                 ΔV = E s

                 

since s is in the direction of the radii its value on the surface of the spheres s = R

                  ΔV = E R

checking the correct answer is V = ER

Convective cooling cools rocks much more rapidly than heat conduction. hydrothermal circulation represents convective cooling at
Luda [366]
When geophysicists measure the geothermal gradient in areas on the ridges where there is no activity hydrothermally, the gradient is far below than what is predicted theoretically, but when measured near hydrothermal vents it is more than what is predicted. This is because most of the heat is being carried through convection by hydrothermal systems so that the average gradient when measured far from the circulation would be depressed or lower.

15) What is the frequency of a pendulum that is moving at 30 m/s with a wavelength of .35 m?
____ [38]

A pendulum is not a wave.

-- A pendulum doesn't have a 'wavelength'.

-- There's no way to define how many of its "waves" pass a point
every second.

--  Whatever you say is the speed of the pendulum, that speed
can only be true at one or two points in the pendulum's swing,
and it's different everywhere else in the swing.

-- The frequency of a pendulum depends only on the length
of the string from which it hangs.


If you take the given information and try to apply wave motion to it:

             Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

             Frequency  =  (speed) / (wavelength) ,

you would end up with

             Frequency = (30 meter/sec) / (0.35 meter) = 85.7 Hz

Have you ever seen anything that could be described as
a pendulum, swinging or even wiggling back and forth
85 times every second ? ! ?     That's pretty absurd. 

This math is not applicable to the pendulum.

A 4.0-kilogram ball moving at 8.0 m/s to the right collides with a 1.0-kilogram ball at rest. After the collision, the 4.0-kilog
Illusion [34]
Its about momentum. Momentum (p)=mass(m)xvelocity(v)
So for the first ball P=4x8=32kgm/s
For the second the momentum is zero as it is still.
So overall momentum its 32kgm/s
Momentum has to be conserved
After the collision the momentum of the 4kg ball is 4x4.8=19.2kgm/s
As momentum is conserved 32-19.2=12.8kgm/s remaining
So rearrange for velocity so v=p/m=12.8/1=12.8m/s for the 1kg ball
