A daring ranch hand sitting on a tree limb wishes to drop vertically onto a horse galloping under the tree. The constant speed o

f the horse is 10.0 m/s, and the distance from the limb to the level of the saddle is 3.00 m. (a) What must be the horizontal distance between the saddle and limb when the ranch hand makes his move? (b) For what time interval is he in the air?

The time it will take him to fall can be found from:-3m = -(g*t^2)/2
Find that time, it's the time the horse will travel horizontal while the cowboy is falling.So the horizontal distance away is  10 m/s * t

vazorg [7]

Answer:

V1=<u>2.5ft3</u>

<u>V2=1ft3</u>

n=1.51

Explanation:

PART A:

the volume of each state is obtained by multiplying the mass by the specific volume in each state

V=volume

v=especific volume

m=mass

V=mv

state 1

V1=m.v1

V1=2lb*1.25ft3/lb=<u>2.5ft3</u>

state 2

V2=m.v2

V2=2lb*0.5ft3/lb=  <u> 1ft3</u>

PART B:

since the PV ^ n is constant we can equal the equations of state 1 and state 2

P1V1^n=P2V2^n

P1/P2=(V2/V1)^n

ln(P1/P2)=n . ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(P1/P2)/ ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(15/60)/ ln (1/2.5)

n=1.51

victus00 [196]

Electric field lines always begin at positive charges (or at infinity) and end at negative charges (or at infinity).

One could also say that the lines we use to represent an electric field indicate the direction in which a positive test charge would initially move when released from rest.

Use the illustration to answer the question :)
Naily [24]

Answer:

This type of heat transfer occurs inside materials, typically solid materials. The heat from the fire is passed from molecule to molecule along the length of the material. The fire will generally follow the heat or sometimes the heat from conduction may cause a new fire to ignite elsewhere. The conduction is happening in the walls of the fireplace

An amusement park ride consists of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis fast enough that a person inside is stuck
ElenaW [278]

Let N be the normal force that forces the person against the wall.

Then u N = m g  is the frictional force supporting the person's weight

and N = m g / u

also, N = m v^2 / R is the normal force providing the centripetal acceleration

So, m g / u = m v^2 / R

v^2 = g R / u

since v = 2 pi R T

4 pi^2 R^2 T^2 = g R / u     and T^2 = g / (4  u pi^2 R)

T = 1/ (2 pi)  (g /(u R))^1/2 = .159 * (9.8 m/s^2 / (.521 * 4.4 m)) ^1/2

T = .68 / s

Do you see any thing wrong here?

T should have units of seconds not 1 / seconds

v should be  2 * pi * R / T  where T is the time for 1 revolution

So you need to make that correction in the above formula for v.
