A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 11.8 m/s directly upward.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

7.09683 m

1.20285 s

2.4057 s

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² (negative up, positive down)

From equation of motion we have

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-11.8^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=7.09683\ m$

The maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches is 7.09683 m

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-11.8}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=1.20285\ s$

Time taken to go up is 1.20285 s it will take the same time to come down so total time taken to reach the ground after it is shot is 1.20285+1.20285 = 2.4057 s

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 1.20285\\\Rightarrow v=11.8\ m/s$

The velocity just before it hits the ground is 11.8 m/s

A single Oreo cookie provides 53 kcal of energy. An athlete does an exercise that involves repeatedly lifting (without accelerat

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Approximately $325$ (rounded down,) assuming that $g = 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}$ .

The number of repetitions would increase if efficiency increases.

Explanation:

Ensure that all quantities involved are in standard units:

Energy from the cookie (should be in joules, ${\rm J}$ ):

$\begin{aligned} & 53\; {\rm kCal} \times \frac{1\; {\rm kJ}}{4.184\; {\rm kCal}} \times \frac{1000\; {\rm J}}{1\; {\rm kJ}} \approx 2.551 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm J} \end{aligned}$ .

Height of the weight (should be in meters, ${\rm m}$ ):

$\begin{aligned} h &= 2\; {\rm dm} \times \frac{1\; {\rm m}}{10\; {\rm dm}} = 0.2\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}$ .

Energy required to lift the weight by $\Delta h = 0.2\; {\rm m}$ without acceleration:

$\begin{aligned} W &= m\, g\, \Delta h \\ &= 100\; {\rm kg} \times 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \times 0.2\; {\rm m} \\ &= 196\; {\rm N \cdot m} \\ &= 196\; {\rm J} \end{aligned}$ .

At an efficiency of $0.25$ , the actual amount of energy required to raise this weight to that height would be:

$\begin{aligned} \text{Energy Input} &= \frac{\text{Useful Work Output}}{\text{Efficiency}} \\ &= \frac{196\; {\rm J}}{0.25} \\ &=784\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}$ .

Divide $2.551 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm J}$ by $784\; {\rm J}$ to find the number of times this weight could be lifted up within that energy budget:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{2.551 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm J}}{784\; {\rm J}} &\approx 325 \end{aligned}$ .

Increasing the efficiency (the denominator) would reduce the amount of energy input required to achieve the same amount of useful work. Thus, the same energy budget would allow this weight to be lifted up for more times.
