If 3.5 paper clips = 1.0 pencils and your paper is 1.5 pencils long, how many paper clips long is your paper?

1 answer:

6 0

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
paperclips&pencils\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
3.5&1.0\\
p&1.5
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{3.5}{p}=\cfrac{1.0}{1.5}\implies \cfrac{3.5\cdot 1.5}{1}=p$

Se lanza verticalmente una esfera con una rapidez de 30m/se. Determinar la rapidez de la esfera a una altura de 40m (g=10m/s2)

sergeinik [125]

$v^2-{v_0}^2=2a(x-x_0)$

dónde $v$ es la velocidad de la esfera, $v_0$ es suya velocidad inicial, $a=-g$ la aceleración debida a la gravedad, $x$ la posición, y $x_0$ la posición inicial. Tomamos $x_0=0\,\mathrm m$ a referirse a la posición de la esfera en el momento que la esfera fue lanzada.

Entonces

$v^2-\left(30\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(-10\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(40\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies v^2=100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}\implies v=\pm10\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

Esto nos dice que la esfera alcanza una altura de 40 m en dos momentos - una vez hacia arriba y una vez hacia abajo. Sin embargo, independientemente del signo de la velocidad, sabemos que suya magnitud es 10 m/s, y así tenemos una rapidez de 10 m/s también en ambos momentos.

Why is force not on a scalar quantity??

snow_lady [41]

Because force always has a direction, it always works towards or against something.

you might know that force,
is rate of change of momentum i.e

force = m (v-u)/t
= (mv - mu )/ t

as we know momentum is a vector quantity so, the rate of change of momentum i.e Force would also be a vector quantity.

momentum = mass × velocity

velocity has a direction so,
momentum has also got a direction.
so, momentum is also a vector quantity.

A 3874-kg rollercoaster is brought to the top of a 42m hill in 40 seconds,then drops 28m before the next hill.

Ede4ka [16]

(a) The work required to get the coaster to the top of the first hill is 1,594,538.4 J.

(b) The power required to bring the train to the top of the first hill is 39,863.46 W.

(d) The left at the bottom is determined as 1,063,025.6 J.

<h3>Work done to bring the rollercoaster top of the hill</h3>

W = Fn x d = mgh

W = 3874 x 9.8 x 42

W = 1,594,538.4 J
