A 124-kg balloon carrying a 22-kg basket is descending with a constant downward velocity of 20.0 m/ s. A I.O-kg stone is thrown

nadya68 [22]

(a) 296.6 m

The motion of the stone is the motion of a projectile, thrown with a horizontal speed of

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

and with an initial vertical velocity of

$v_{y0} = -20.0 m/s$

where we have put a negative sign to indicate that the direction is downward.

The vertical position of the stone at time t is given by

$y(t) = h + v_{0y} t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (1)

where

h is the initial height

g = -9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The stone hits the ground after a time t = 6.00 s, so at this time the vertical position is zero:

y(6.00 s) = 0

Substituting into eq.(1), we can solve to find the initial height of the stone, h:

$0 = h + v_{0y} y + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\h = -v_{0y} y - \frac{1}{2}gt^2=-(-20.0 m/s)(6.00 s) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(6.00 s)^2=296.6 m$

(b) 176.6 m

The balloon is moving downward with a constant vertical speed of

$v_y = -20 m/s$

So the vertical position of the balloon after a time t is

$y(t) = h + v_y t$

and substituting t = 6.0 s and h = 296.6 m, we find the height of the balloon when the rock hits the ground:

$y(t) = 296.6 m + (-20.0 m)(6.00 s)=176.6 m$

(c) 198.2 m

In order to find how far is the rock from the balloon when it hits the ground, we need to find the horizontal distance covered by the rock during the time of the fall.

The horizontal speed of the rock is

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

So the horizontal distance travelled in t = 6.00 s is

$d_x = v_x t = (15.0 m/s)(6.00 s)=90 m$

Considering also that the vertical height of the balloon after t=6.00 s is

$d_y = 176.6 m$

The distance between the balloon and the rock can be found by using Pythagorean theorem:

$d=\sqrt{(90 m)^2+(176.6 m)^2}=198.2 m$

(di) 15.0 m/s, -58.8 m/s

For an observer at rest in the basket, the rock is moving horizontally with a velocity of

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

Instead, the vertical velocity of the rock for an observer at rest in the basket is

$v_y (t) = gt$

Substituting time t=6.00 s, we find

$v_y = (-9.8 m/s)(6.00 s)=-58.8 m/s$

(dii) 15.0 m/s, -78.8 m/s

For an observer at rest on the ground, the rock is still moving horizontally with a velocity of

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

Instead, the vertical velocity of the rock for an observer on the ground is now given by

$v_y (t) = v_{0y} + gt$

Substituting time t=6.00 s, we find

$v_y = (-20.0 m/s)+(-9.8 m/s)(6.00 s)=-78.8 m/s$

If the wave represents a sound wave, explain how increasing amplitude will affect the loudness of the sound? If we decrease the

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Think of a sound wave like a wave on the ocean, or lake... It's not really water moving, as much as it's energy moving through the water. Ever see something floating on the water, and notice that it doesn't come in with the wave, but rides over the top and back down into the trough between them? Sound waves are very similar to that. If you looked at a subwoofer speaker being driven at say... 50 cycles a second, you'd actually be able to see the speaker cone moving back and forth. The more power you feed into the speaker, the more it moves back and forth, not more quickly, as that would be a higher frequency, but further in and further out, still at 50 cycles per second. Every time it pushed out, it's compressing the air in front of it... the compressed air moves away from the speaker's cone, but not as a breeze or wind, but as a wave through the air, similar to a wave on the ocean

More power, more amplitude, bigger "wave", louder ( to the human ear) sound.

If you had a big speaker ( subwoofer ) and ran a low frequency signal with enough power in it, you could hold a piece of paper in front of it, and see the piece of paper move in and out at exactly the same frequency as the speaker cone. The farther away from the speaker you got, the less it'd move as the energy of the sound wave dispersed through the room.

Sound is a wave

We hear because our eardrums resonates with this wave I.e. our ear drums will vibrate with the same frequency and amplitude. which is converted to an electrical signal and processed by our brain.

By increasing the amplitude our eardrums also vibrate with a higher amplitude which we experience as a louder sound.

Of course when this amplitude is too high the resulting resonance tears our eardrums so that they can't resonate with the sound wave I.e. we become deaf

In what ways does a stream transport its load, and which part of the load moves most slowly? Select all that apply.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer: Option (B)

Explanation: A stream transports its materials in different ways-

<u>Dissolved load-</u> Here, the materials gets dissolved when mixed with water and flows along with the stream.
<u>Suspended load</u>- Here, the materials are not fully dissolved in the water but they can be carried from one place to another in suspension mode, by the river.
<u>Bed load-</u> Bed load are transported in three different ways such as-

Sliding- here, the materials slides down along a curved surface under the water and carried away.
Rolling- here, the materials are solid and due to force exerted by water, it can roll and move to distant places.

Saltation- here, the materials are carried away in a series of jumps.

Thus, the most appropriate answer is option (B) i.e bedload.

In a heat engine if 1000 j of heat enters the system the piston does 500 j of work, what is the final internal energy of the sys

nydimaria [60]

Answer : The final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J

Solution :

(1) The equation used is,

$\Delta U=q+w\\\\U_{final}-U_{initial}=q+w$

where,

$U_{final}$ = final internal energy

$U_{initial}$ = initial internal energy

q = heat energy

w = work done

(2) The known variables are, q, w and $U_{initial}$

initial internal energy = $U_{initial}$ = 2000 J

heat energy = q = 1000 J

work done = w = 500 J

(3) Now plug the numbers into the equation, we get

$U_{final}-(2000J)=(1000J)+(500J)$

(4) By solving the terms, we get

$U_{final}-(2000J)=(1000J)+(500J)$

$U_{final}-(2000J)=1500J$

$U_{final}=2000J+1500J$

$U_{final}=3500J$

(5) Therefore, the final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J
