Answer:

25.95 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the bungee jumper = 50 kg

k = spring constant of the cord = 100 N/m

x = stretch of the cord

L = length of the cord = 10 m

h = height dropped by the bungee jumper = L + x = 10 + x

Using conservation of energy

Spring potential energy = gravitational potential energy

(0.5) k x² = mg h

(0.5) (100) x² = (50) (9.8) (10 + x)

x = 15.95 m

d = distance traveled below the bridge

d = L + x

d = 10 + 15.95

d = 25.95 m

During a trial run, race car A starts from rest and accelerates uniformly along a straight level track for a particular interval
kondor19780726 [428]
Answer: car B has travelled 4times as far as Car A

d=vi*t+1/2at^2

No initial velocity so equation becomes;

d=1/2at^2 and the acceleration is the same between both only time is different;

Car A d=1/2a(1)^2

Car B d=1/2a(2)^2

Car A d= 1^2=1

Car B d= 2^2=4

Car B d=4*Car A

So car B has travelled 4 times as far as car A

A certain resistance thermometer read 14.5 ohms in pure melting ice and 18.5 ohms in steam at standard atmospheric pressure what
Vadim26 [7]

The resistance of the thermometer at room temperature is 15.04 ohms.

<h3 />

<h3>What is a resistance thermometer?</h3>

A resistance thermometer is a type of thermometer that measures temperature through a change in resistance.

To calculate the resistance of the thermometer at room temperature, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • 100/27 = 2/(x-14.5)..............Eqquation 1

Where:

  • x = Resistance of the thermometer at room temperature

Make x the subject of the equation

  • x = [(27×2)/100]+14.5
  • x = (54/100)+14.5
  • x = 0.54+14.5
  • x = 15.04 ohms.

Hence, The resistance of the thermometer at room temperature is 15.04 ohms.

A uniform marble rolls down a symmetrical bowl, start- ing from rest at the top of the left side. The top of each side is a dist
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Part a)

h' = \frac{10}{14} h

Part b)

if both sides are rough then it will reach the same height on the other side because the energy is being conserved.

Part c)

Since marble will go to same height when it is rough while when it is smooth then it will go to the height

h' = \frac{10}{14} h

so on smooth it will go to lower height

Explanation:

As we know by energy conservation the total energy at the bottom of the bowl is given as

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = mgh

here we know that on the left side the ball is rolling due to which it is having rotational and transnational both kinetic energy

now on the right side of the bowl there is no friction

so its rotational kinetic energy will not change and remains the same

so it will have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh'

now we know that

I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2

\omega = \frac{v}{r}

so we have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mr^2)(\frac{v}{r})^2 = mgh

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{5}mv^2 = mgh

\frac{7}{10}mv^2 = mgh

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{10}{14}mgh

so the height on the smooth side is given as

h' = \frac{10}{14} h

Part b)

if both sides are rough then it will reach the same height on the other side because the energy is being conserved.

Part c)

Since marble will go to same height when it is rough while when it is smooth then it will go to the height

h' = \frac{10}{14} h

so on smooth it will go to lower height

Induced EMF and Current in a Shrinking LoopShrinking Loop. A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let c be the circumference and r be the radius

c = 2πr , r = c / 2π , area A = π r² = π (c/2π )²  = (1/4π) x c²

flux (ψ) = BA = 1 X 1/4π X c²

dψ/dt = 1/4π x 2c dc/dt =1/2π x c x dc/dt

at t = 8 s

c = 161 - 13 x 8 = 57 cm , dc/dt = 13 cm/s  

e = dψ/dt = (1 / 2π )x 57 x 13 x 10⁻⁴ = 118 x 10⁻⁴ V.

The state of matter is an example of a physical property. Why is the state of matter considered aphysical property, even though
lora16 [44]
<span>The three states of matter are the three distinct physical forms that matter can take in most environments: solid, liquid, and gas. In extreme environments, other states may be present, such as plasma, Bose-Einstein condensates, and neutron stars. Further states, such as quark-gluon plasmas, are also believed to be possible. Much of the atomic matter of the universe is hot plasma in the form of rarefied interstellar medium and dense stars.</span>
