A 0.157 kg ball is thrown straight up from 2.33 m above the ground. Its initial vertical speed is 11.60 m/s. A short time later,

it hits the ground. Calculate the total work done by the force of gravity during that time.

Answer:

14.148 J

Explanation:

Work : This can be defined as the product of force and the distance moved along the direction of force. The S.I unit of work is Joules.(J).

From the question,

The Total work done by the field = Kinetic energy of the ball + Potential energy of the ball

Wt = 1/2mv²+mgh......................... Equation 1

Where Wt = Total work done by the ball, m = mass of the ball, v = velocity of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity of the ball, h = height of the ball.

Given: m = 0.157 kg, v = 11.60 m/s, h = 2.33 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

Wt = 1/2(0.157)(11.6²) + (0.157)(2.33)(9.8)

Wt = 10.563+3.585

Wt = 14.148 J

A plane mirror of circular shape with radius r=20cm is fixed to the ceiling. A bulb is to be placed on the axis of the mirror. A
KIM [24]

Answer:

0.75 m

Explanation:

Let's call the distance between the bulb and the mirror x.

The bulb and the length of the mirror form a triangle.  The mirror and the illuminated area on the floor form a trapezoid.  If we extend the lines from the mirror edge to the reflected image of the bulb, we turn that trapezoid into a large triangle.  This triangle and the small triangle are similar.  So we can say:

x / 0.4 = (3 + x) / 2

Solving for x:

2x = 0.4 (3 + x)

2x = 1.2 + 0.4 x

1.6 x = 1.2

x = 0.75

So the bulb should located no more than 0.75 m from the mirror.

A man attaches a divider to an outdoor faucet so that water flows through a single pipe of radius 9.25 mm into four pipes, each
irinina [24]

Answer:

1.24 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

9.25 mm = 0.00925 m

5 mm = 0.005 m

The volume rate that flow through the single pipe is

\dot{V} = vA = 1.45 * \pi * 0.00925^2 = 0.00039 m^3/s

This volume rate should be constant and divided into the 4 narrower pipes, each of them would have a volume rate of

\dot{V_n} = \dot{V} / 4 = 0.00039 / 4 = 9.74\times10^{-5} m^3/s

So the flow speed of each of the narrower pipe is:

v_n = \frac{\dot{V_n}}{A_n} = \frac{\dot{V_n}}{\pi r_n^2}

v_n = \frac{9.74\times10^{-5}}{\pi 0.005^2} = 1.24 m/s

What is the acceleration of a Porsche that can go from 15 mi/hr to 75 mi/hr in 4 seconds?
Elodia [21]

Hi there!

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time = Δv/Δt

Thus:

a = (75 - 15)/4 = 60/4 = 15 mi/hr²
