Two elevators begin descending from the same height. Elevator A has descended 4 feet after one second, 9 feet after two seconds,

14 feet after three seconds, and so on. Elevator B has descended 3.5 feet after one second, 6.5 feet after two seconds, 9.5 feet after three seconds, and so on. How many feet would each elevator descend in 10 seconds?

Answer:

a) y = 400 ft  b) y = 350 ft

Explanation:

We can solve that problem with kinematic relationships

    y = v₀ t + ½ a t²

Let's apply this equation to the elevator 1

     y₁ = v₀ t₁ + ½ to t₁²

time t= 1 s

    y₁ = v₀ 1 + ½ a 1²

    y₁ = v₀ + ½ a

For t = 2s

    y₂ = v₀ 2 + ½ a 2²

    y₂ = 2 v₀ + 2 a

Let's write the equations and solve the system

    4 = v₀ + ½ a

    9 = 2 v₀ + 2 a

Let's multiply the first by -2

    -8 = -2v₀ -a

     9 = 2v₀ + 2 a

Let's add

      1 = a

We replace in the first

      4 = v₀ + ½ 1

      v₀ = 4- 1/2

      v₀ = 3.5

The equation for the first elevator is

      y = 3.5 t + ½  t²

For t = 10 s

      y = 3.5 10 + ½ 10²  

      y = 400 ft

We repeat the process for the second elevator

t = 1s

     y₁ = v₀ 1 + ½ a 1²

     3.5 = v₀ + ½ a

t = 2 s

     y₂ = v₀ 2 + ½ a 2²

     6.5 = 2 v₀ +2 a

multiply by -2

    -7 = -2 v₀ - a

     6.5 = 2 v₀ + 2 a

Let's add

    -0.5 = a

I replace in the first equation

    3.5 = v₀ + ½ (-0.5)

    v₀ = 3.5 + 0.25

    v₀ = 3.75

The equation is

    y = 3.75 t -0.25 t²

For t = 10s

    y = 3.75 10 - 0.25 10²

   y = 350 ft

An archer pulls a bow string 0.5 m. If the spring constant is 16,000 N/m, what is the energy stored in the bow string?
mars1129 [50]

2000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Extension = 0.5m

Spring constant = 16000N/m

Unknown:

Energy stored in the bow string = ?

Solution:

The energy stored in a bow string is an elastic potential energy.

It can be calculated using the expression below;

     Elastic energy = \frac{1}{2} K e²

Where k is the spring constant

            e is the extension

Input the parameters;

  Elastic energy = \frac{1}{2} K e²

                          =\frac{1}{2} x 16000 x 0.5²

                          = 2000J

A TV satellite dish is designed to receive radio waves of wavelength
Verizon [17]

Answer:

4.7 GHz

Explanation:

Applying,

v = λf................. Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the radio wave, λ = wavelength, f = frequency

make f the subject of the equation

f = v/λ.............. Equation 2

Note: A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave, as such it moves with a velocity of 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

From the question,

Given: λ = 0.0644 meters

Constant: v = <em>3.00 x 10⁸ m/s</em>

Substitute these values into equation 2

f = (3.00 x 10⁸)/0.0644

f = 4.66×10⁹ Hz

f = 4.7 GHz

if the instantaneous current in the circuit is giveen by I=3 sin theta amperes, the rms value of the current will be
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

I_{rms}=2.12\ A

Explanation:

Given that,

The instantaneous current in the circuit is giveen by :

I=3\sin\theta\ A

We need to find the rms value of the current.

The general equation of current is given by :

I=I_o\sin\theta

It means, I_o=3\ A

We know that,

I_{rms}=\dfrac{I_o}{\sqrt2}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt2}\\\\=2.12\ A

So, the rms value of current is 2.12 A.
