A ball is dropped from a height of 16 feet. Each time it drops h feet, it rebounds 0.81h feet. Find the total distance traveled

by the ball.

The first drop makes the ball travel 16 m.
Then the maximum height decreases to 16 x 0.81
And the distance traveled is twice the distance traveled.
If we make a pattern, this forms a geometric progression in which the common ratio is 0.81 and the first term is 16.
The sum of this series: a / (1 - r)
= 16 ( 1 - 0.81)
= 84 feet
This is the upward height, and the ball returns every time so:
Total distance = 84 x 2
= 168 feet

Each second, 1250 m3 of water passes over a waterfall 150 m high. Three-fourths of the kinetic energy gained by the water in fal
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The generator produces electrical energy at a rate of 1378125000 J per second.

Explanation:

volume of water falling each second is 1250 m^{3}

height through which it falls, h is 150 m

mass of 1 m^{3} of water is 1000 kg

⇒mass of 1250 m^{3} of water, m = 1250×1000 = 1250000 kg

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{sec^{2} }

in falling through 150 m in each second, by Work-Energy Theorem:

Kinetic Energy(KE) gained by it = Potential Energy(PE) lost by it

⇒KE = mgh

        = 1250000×9.8×150 J

        = 1837500000 J

Electrical Energy = \frac{3}{4}(KE)

                            = \frac{3}{4}×1837500000

                            = <u>1378125000 J per second</u>

In an incline projection the horizontal motion is uniform motion (vx)= constant why?​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

it is constant because there is not any force that oppose the horizontal motion

but the vertical velocity is not constant because there is a gravitational force that oppose the motion .

6.A string of 100 Christmas lights requires 4 Volts and 2 Amps for a single bulb to light up. (a) When one light on the sting go
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given,

V = 4 volts

A = 2 amps

a)

In the first instance, one light on the sting goes out and the whole string of lights no longer turns on. This means that the circuit is a series circuit.

b) Total voltage = 4 x 100 = 400 V

The current passing through each bulb is the same. Thus

Total Current = 2 Amps

Recall, V = IR

R = V/I

Thus,

Resistance = 400/2

Resistance = 200 ohms

c) In this case, one light goes out on the string all other lights still turn on. This means that the circuit is a parallel circuit

d)

The voltage is the same

Total voltage = 4 volts

Total current = 2 x 100 = 200 amps

Total resistance = 4/200

Total resistance = 0.02 ohms

A 0.5 kg air-track car is attached to the end of a horizontal spring of constant k = 20 N/m. The car is displaced 15 cm from its
Dimas [21]
Find the amount of work that the spring does. This can be found using the equation 1/2kx^2. Then, you must set that equal to the amount of kinetic energy the car has. This is possible thanks to the work-energy theorem.

1/2kx^2 = 1/2mv^2

Solve to find velocity. Remember, the spring is displaced .15 m, not 15!

To find the acceleration, use F = ma. The force being applied to the car is kx, and you know the mass. You do the math.

For problem C I don't know, haven't done that yet in my class. Sorry!
