A hot-air balloonist, rising vertically with a constant speed of 5.00 m/s releases a sandbag at the instant the balloon is 40.0

m above the ground. After it is released, the sandbag encounters no appreciable air drag. Compute the position of the sandbag at 0.250 s after its release.

Answer:

Y = 40.94m

Explanation:

The initial speed of the sandbag is the same as the balloon and so is its position, so:

Y = Yo + Vo*t-\frac{g*t^2}{2}

Replacing these values:

Yo = 40m     Vo = 5m/s     g = 9.81m/s^2     t = 0.25s

We get the position of the sandbag:

Y = 40+5*(0.25)-\frac{9.81*(0.25)^2}{2}

Y = 40.94m

a. 46 m/s east

The jet here is moving with a uniform accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation to find its velocity:

v=u+at

where

v is the velocity calculated at time t

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

The jet in the problem has, taking east as positive direction:

u = +16 m/s  is the initial velocity

a=+3 m/s^2  is the acceleration

Substituting t = 10 s, we find the final velocity of the jet:

v=16 + (3)(10)=46 m/s

And since the result is positive, the direction is east.

b. 310 m

The displacement of the jet can be found using another suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the displacement

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the jet in this problem,

u = +16 m/s  is the initial velocity

a=+3 m/s^2  is the acceleration

t = 10 s is the time

Substituting into the equation,

s=(16)(10)+\frac{1}{2}(3)(10)^2=310 m

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t
givi [52]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as,

f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})

Here,

f_0 = Frequency of Source

v_s = Speed of sound

f = Frequency heard before slowing down

f' = Frequency heard after slowing down

v  = Speed of the train before slowing down

So if the speed of the train after slowing down will be v/2, we can do a system equation of 2x2 at the two moments, then,

The first equation is,

f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})

300 = f_0 (\frac{343}{343-v})

(300*343) - 300v = 343f_0

Now the second expression will be,

f' = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v/2})

290 = (343)(\frac{v_0}{343-v/2})

290*343-145v = 343f_0

Dividing the two expression we have,

\frac{(300*343) - 300v}{290*343-145v} = 1

Solving for v, we have,

v = 22.12m/s

Therefore the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12m/s

Describe the energy transfer when you touch a block of ice with your hand
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Thermal energy always flows from the warmer object to the colder object. This causes your hand to get cold, while the ice absorbs your heat and melts.
