Answer:

Maximum height, h = 1.74 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

A potato is shot out of the cylinder. It is a case of projectile motion. The potato makes an angle of 17 degrees above the horizontal.

Initial speed with which the potato is shot out, u = 20 m/s

We have to find the maximum height of the potato. The maximum height of a projectile (h) is given by the following formula as :

h=\dfrac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

Where

\theta = angle between the projectile and the surface

g = acceleration due to gravity

h=\dfrac{(20\ m/s)^2sin^2(17)}{2\times 9.8\ m/s^2}

h = 1.74 m

or h = 1.74 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

If an automobile had a 100%-efficient engine, transferring all of the fuel's energy to work, would the engine be warm to your to
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The engine would be warm to touch, and the exhaust gases would be at ambient temperature. The engine would not vibrate nor make any noise. None of the fuel entering the engine would go unused.

Explanation:

In this ideal engine, none of these events would happen due to the nature of the efficiency.

We can define efficiency as the ratio between the used energy and the potential generable energy in the fuel.

n=W, total/(E, available).

However, in real engines the energy generated in the combustion of the fuel transforms into heat (which heates the exhost gases, and the engine therefore transfering some of this heat to the environment). Also, there are some mechanical energy loss due to vibrations and sound, which are also energy that comes from the fuel combustion.

Recall that the spring constant is inversely proportional to the number of coils in the spring, or that shorter springs equate t
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x_1= 0.0425m

Explanation:

Using the tension in the spring and the force of the tension can by describe by

T = kx

, T = mg

Therefore:

m*g = k*x

With two springs, let, T1 be the tension in each spring,  x1 be the extension of each spring.  The spring constant of each spring is 2k so:

T_1 = 2k*x_1

2T_1 = m*g=4k x_1

Solve to x1

x_1=\frac{m*g}{4k}

x_1=\frac{k*x}{4*k}

x_1=\frac{x}{4}

x_1 = 0.170 / 4

x_1= 0.0425m

If two vectors are perpendicular to each other, how should you add them?
Aleksandr [31]

Let us consider two vectors A and B.

As per the question, the two vectors are perpendicular to each other.

Hence the angle between them  \theta =90 degree

We are asked to calculate the resultant of these two vectors.

As per parallelogram law of vector addition, the resultant of two vectors are-

                      R=\sqrt{A^{2}+ B^{2}+2ABcos\theta

                                =\sqrt{ A^{2}+ B^{2}+2AB*cos90}    [cos90=0]

                                =\sqrt{ A^{2}+ B^{2}

This is the way by which we can add two perpendicular vectors.
