For many years Colonel John P. Stapp, USAF, held the world's land speed record. He participated in studying whether a jet pilot

could survive emergency ejection. On March 19, 1954, he rode a rocket-propelled sled that moved down a track at a speed of 632 mi/h. He and the sled were safely brought to rest in 1.40s

Answer:

(a) -202 m/s²

(b) 198 m

Explanation:

Given data

Initial speed (v₀): 283 m/s

$\frac{632mi}{h} .\frac{1609.34m}{1mi} .\frac{1h}{3600s} =283m/s$

Final speed (vf): 0 (rest)

Time (t): 1.40 s

(a) The acceleration (a) is the change in the speed over the time elapsed.

a = (vf - v₀)/t = (0 - 283 m/s)/ 1.40s = -202 m/s²

(b) We can find the distance traveled (d) using the following kinematic expression.

y = v₀ × t + 1/2 × a × t²

y = 283 m/s × 1.40 s + 1/2 × (-202 m/s²) × (1.40 s)²

y = 198 m

Air, considered an ideal gas, is contained in an insulated piston-cylinder assembly outfitted with a paddle wheel. It is initial

Maru [420]

Our data are,

State 1:

$P_1= 10psi=68.95kPa\\V_1 = 1ft^3=0.02831m^3\\T_1 = 100\°F = 310.93K$

State 2:

$P_2 =5psi=34.474kPa\\V_2 = 3ft^3=0.0899m^3$

We know as well that $3BTU=3.16kJ/K$

To find the mass we apply the ideal gas formula, which is given by

$P_1V_1=mRT_1$

Re-arrange for m,

$m= \frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}\\m= \frac{68.95*0.02831}{(0.287)310.9}\\m=0.021893kg=0.04806lbm\\$

Because of the pressure, temperature and volume ratio of state 1 and 2, we have to

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

Replacing,

$T_2 = \frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1}T_1\\T_2 =\frac{34.474*0.0844}{68.95*0.02831}*310.93\\T_2 = 464.217K=375.5\°F$

For conservative energy we have, (Cv = 0.718)

$W = m C_v = 0.718 \Delta T +dw\\dw = W - mv\Delta T\\dw = 3.16-(0.0218*0.718)(454.127-310.93)\\dw = 0.765kJ=0.72BTU$

topjm [15]

<h2>5.3 km</h2>

Explanation:

This question involves continuous displacement in various directions. When it becomes difficult to imagine, vector analysis becomes handy.

Let us denote each of the individual displacements by a vector. Consider the unit vectors $\vec{i}\textrm{ and }\vec{j}$ as the unit vectors in the direction of East and North respectively.

By simple calculations, we can derive the unit vectors $\vec{j},\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2}\textrm{ and }\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2}$ in the directions North, $45^{o}$ South of West and $60^{o}$ North of West respectively.

So Total displacement vector = Sum of individual displacement vectors.

Displacement vector = $4(\vec{j})+6(\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2})+5(\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2})=-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}$

Magnitude of Displacement = $|-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}|=5.3km$

∴ Total displacement = $5.3km$

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

N = 1036 times

Explanation:

The radial probability density of the hydrogen ground state is given by:

$p(r) = \frac{4r^{2} }{a_{0} ^{3} } e^{\frac{-2r}{a_{0} } }$

$p(\frac{a_{0} }{2} ) = \frac{4(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )^{2} }{a_{0} ^{3} } e^{\frac{-2(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )}{a_{0} } }$

$p(2a_{0} ) = \frac{4(2a_{0}) ^{2} }{a_{0} ^{3} } e^{\frac{-4a_{0} }{a_{0} } }$

$N = 1300\frac{p(2a_{0}) }{p(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )}$

$N = 1300\frac{(2a_{0}) ^{2}e^{\frac{-4a_{0} }{a_{0} } } }{(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )^{2} e^{\frac{-a_{0} }{a_{0} } }}$

$N = 1300(16) e^{-3}$

N = 1035.57

N = 1036 times
