A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to

the victim with an initial velocity of 1.40 m/s and observes that it takes 1.50 s to reach the water.
A. How high above the water was the preserver released?
B. List the knowns in this problem.

Answer:

13.125 m

Explanation:

b) The quantity which are known as

Initial velocity of life preserver, u = 1.40 m/s

time to reach, t = 1.50 s

final velocity of the life preserver, v = 0 m/s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

a) height of the preserver above water

   using equation of motion

    h = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

    h = 1.4\times 1.50 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.5^2

          h = 13.125 m

Hence, the height from where preserver is thrown is equal to 13.125 m

What was also changed in the "Levers" lab when the position of the fulcrum was changed?
erastova [34]

Effort force

Explanation:

When the potion of fulcrum and weight is changed, the mechanical advantage changes.Increasing the distance between the fulcrum and the effort, there is a proportion increase in effort required to lift a load.The ration of the distance from the fulcrum to the position of input and output application gives the mechanical advantage in levers when losses due to friction are not considered.

-- find the horizontal and vertical components of F1.

-- find the horizontal and vertical components of F2.

-- find the horizontal and vertical components of F3.

-- add up the 3 horizontal components; their sum is the horizontal component of the resultant.

-- add up the 3 vertical components; their sum is the vertical component of the resultant.

-- the magnitude of the resultant is the square root of (vertical component^2 + horizontal component^2)

-- the direction of the resultant is the angle whose tangent is (vertical component/horizontal component), starting from the positive x-direction.

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

m_i = Mass of ice = 50 g

T_i = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

L_f = Latent heat of fusion = 3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C

m_w = Mass of water = 200 g

c_w = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

m_{Al} = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

c_{Al} = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C
