This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A student dropped a textbook from the top floor of his dorm and it fell according to the formula s(t) = -16t² + 8√t, where t is the time in seconds and s(t) is the distance in feet from the top of the building.

(a) Write a formula for the average velocity of the ball for t near 4.

(b) Find the average velocity for the time interval beginning when t = 4 with duration 1 seconds, 0.5 seconds, and 0.05 seconds

Answer:

Average velocity, (Vavg) of the ball for t near 4.

Vavg = [s(4) - s(0)] / (4 - 0)

Where s(4) = -16 × 4² + 8 × √4= - 240 m

s(0) = -16 × 0 + 8 * 0 = 0

duration = 1 sec

Vavg = [s(5) - s(4)] / (5 - 4)

s(5) = -16 × 52 + 8 × √5 = - 382 m

s(4) = -16 × 42 + 8 √4 = - 240 m

Vavg = (-382 - (-240)) / (5 - 4)

Vavg = - 142.1 m/s

duration = 0.5 sec

Vavg = [s(4.5) - s(4)] / (4.5 - 4)

s(4.5) = -16 × 4.52 + 8 × √4.5 = - 307 m

s(4) = -16 × 42 + 8 × √4 = - 240 m

Vavg = (-307 - (-240)) / (4.5 - 4)

Vavg= - 134.1 m/s

duration = 0.05 sec

Vavg = [s(4.05) - s(4)] / (4.05 - 4)

s(4.05) = -16 × 4.052 + 8 × √4.05 = - 246 m

s(4) = -16 × 42 + 8 × √4 = - 240 m

Vavg = (-246 - (-240)) / (4.05 - 4)

Vavg= - 126.8 m/s

Instantaneous velocity, v = ds/dt

= - 16 × 2 × t + 8 ×× (0.5 / √t )

= - 32 × t + 4/√t

ds/dt at t = 4 is,

v = - 32 × 4 + 4 / √4

= - 126 m/s

A ball is projected into the air with 100 j of kinetic energy which is transformed to gravitational potential energy at the top

raketka [301]

<span>when it returns to its original level after encountering air resistance, its kinetic energy is decreased.
In fact, part of the energy has been dissipated due to the air resistance.

The mechanical energy of the ball as it starts the motion is:
</span> $E=K = 100 J$
<span>where K is the kinetic energy, and where there is no potential energy since we use the initial height of the ball as reference level.
If there is no air resistance, this total energy is conserved, therefore when the ball returns to its original height, the kinetic energy will still be 100 J. However, because of the presence of the air resistance, the total mechanical energy is not conserved, and part of the total energy of the ball has been dissipated through the air. Therefore, when the ball returns to its original level, the kinetic energy will be less than 100 J.</span>

A uranium nucleus is traveling at 0.94 c in the positive direction relative to the laboratory when it suddenly splits into two p

Anettt [7]

Answer:

A u = 0.36c B u = 0.961c

Explanation:

In special relativity the transformation of velocities is carried out using the Lorentz equations, if the movement in the x direction remains

u ’= (u-v) / (1- uv / c²)

Where u’ is the speed with respect to the mobile system, in this case the initial nucleus of uranium, u the speed with respect to the fixed system (the observer in the laboratory) and v the speed of the mobile system with respect to the laboratory

The data give is u ’= 0.43c and the initial core velocity v = 0.94c

Let's clear the speed with respect to the observer (u)

u’ (1- u v / c²) = u -v

u + u ’uv / c² = v - u’

u (1 + u ’v / c²) = v - u’

u = (v-u ’) / (1+ u’ v / c²)

Let's calculate

u = (0.94 c - 0.43c) / (1+ 0.43c 0.94 c / c²)

u = 0.51c / (1 + 0.4042)

u = 0.36c

We repeat the calculation for the other piece

In this case u ’= - 0.35c

We calculate

u = (0.94c + 0.35c) / (1 - 0.35c 0.94c / c²)

u = 1.29c / (1- 0.329)

u = 0.961c

g A thin-walled hollow cylinder and a solid cylinder, both have same mass 2.0 kg and radius 20 cm, start rolling down from rest

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a. i. 3.43 m/s ii. 2.8 m/s

b. The thin-walled cylinder

Explanation:

a. Find translational speed of each cylinder upon reaching the bottom

The potential energy change of each mass = total kinetic energy gain = translational kinetic energy + rotational kinetic energy

So, mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iω² where m = mass of object = 2.0 kg, g =acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height of incline = 1.2 m, v = translational velocity of object, I = moment of inertia of object and ω = angular speed = v/r where r = radius of object.

i. translational speed of thin-walled cylinder upon reaching the bottom

So, For the thin-walled cylinder, I = mr², we find its translational velocity, v

So, mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iω²

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2(mr²)(v/r)²

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2mv²

mgh = mv²

v² = gh

v = √gh

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 1.2 m)

v = √(11.76 m²/s²)

v = 3.43 m/s

ii. translational speed of solid cylinder upon reaching the bottom

So, For the solid cylinder, I = mr²/2, we find its translational velocity, v'

So, mgh = 1/2mv'² + 1/2Iω²

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2(mr²/2)(v'/r)²

mgh = 1/2mv'² + mv'²

mgh = 3mv'²/2

v'² = 2gh/3

v' = √(2gh/3)

v' = √(2 × 9.8 m/s² × 1.2 m/3)

v' = √(23.52 m²/s²/3)

v' = √(7.84 m²/s²)

v' = 2.8 m/s

b. Determine which cylinder has the greatest translational speed upon reaching the bottom.

Since v = 3.43 m/s > v'= 2.8 m/s,

the thin-walled cylinder has the greatest translational speed upon reaching the bottom.
