Answer:

a. 14.68m/s

b. 1.043N

Explanation:

a.

Given

Mass = m = 144g = 0.144kg

Height = h = 11m

Using energy conservation,

½mv² = mgh where g = 9.8m/s² ----- divide both sides by m

½v² = gh ---- divide both sides by ½

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 * 9.8 * 11)

v = 14.68332387438212m/s

v = 14.68m/s ----- Approximated

b.

v = 7.5m/s

By definition, “the average force of air resistance,”

When work done against air resistance is solved by multiplying height by the average force of resistance ------ by definition

i.e. W = -Fh

Minus is used because F and h points to different direction (when viewed as vectors).

This is proved by:

W = Fhcos(180) because h points toward the direction of motion (downward) while F points opposite.

W = Fh * -1

W = Fh

Using energy conservation,

mgh - Fh = ½mv² ---- Make Fh, the subject of formula

Fh = mgh - ½mv² ---- Divide through by h

F = mg - mv²/2h

F = 0.144 * 9.8 - 0.144 * 7.5²/(2 * 11)

F = 1.043N

What are geothermal heat pumps used for?
Igoryamba
Heat pumps are also known as refrigeration units for heating and cooling homes by taking heat from air outside in the winter time and then reversed to take heat out of the inside of a home in the summertime. The Geothermal heat pumps take heat from the ground by way of buried pipes deep in ground with chemicals such as water and glycol or similar and transfers that heat into homes in the winter time.

A 25-kg child runs at 4.0 m/s and jumps onto a shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass 15 kg. Assuming the c
VLD [36.1K]

Linear momentum (mass x speed) has to be conserved.

-- Momentum before the jump:

(boy's mass) x (boy's speed) = (25 kg) x (4.0 m/s) = 100 kg-m/s

(cart's mass) x (cart's speed) = (15 kg) x (zero) = zero

Total momentum before the jump:  (100 kg-m/s) + (zero) = (100 kg-m/s)

-- Momentum after the jump:

(mass of boy+cart) x (speed of boy+cart) = (40 kg) x (speed)

-- Momentum after the jump = momentum before the jump

(40 kg) x (speed) = 100 kg-m/s

Divide each side by  40 kg:

Speed = (100 kg-m/s) / (40 kg)

<em>Speed = 2.5 m/s</em>  (d)

loris [4]

Answer:

The angle for the forward Mach line is 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is 5.21°

Explanation:

From table A-1 (Modern Compressible Flow: with historical perspective):

\frac{P_{o} }{P_{1} } =36.73 (M₁ = 3)

If Po₁ = Po₂

\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =\frac{P_{o1} }{P_{1} } *\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } =36.73*\frac{1}{4} =91.825

Table A-1:

\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =91.825,M_{2} =3.63

Table A-5:

v₁ = 49.76°

μ₁ = 19.47°

v₂ = 60.55°

μ₂ = 16°

θ = 60.55 - 49.76 = 10.79°

The angle for the forward Mach line is:

μ₁ = 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is:

θr = μ₂ - θ = 16 - 10.79 = 5.21°
