Answer:

86.4 m horizontal from landing spot

Explanation:

Find out how long before the ball hits the ground

vertical speed of ball = -2 m/s gravity = - 9.81 m/s^2

find time to hit ground from 100 m

( height will be zero when it hits the ground)

0 = 100 - 2 t - 1/2 ( 9.81) t^2

use Quadratic Formula to find t = 4.32 seconds

horizontal speed of ball = 20 m/s

in 4.32 seconds it will travel horizontally 20 m/s * 4.32 s = 86.4 m

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave.

The velocity of a particle moving along the x-axis varies with time according to v(t) = A + Bt−1 , where A = 2 m/s, B = 0.25 m,

kondaur [170]

Answer:

$a= -2\ m/s^2$

$a=-12.5\ m/s^2$

x=2.17 m

x=8.4 m

Explanation:

Given that

$v=A+Bt^{-1}$

$v=2+0.25t^{-1}$

To find acceleration :

we know that

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=0-0.5t^{-2}$

$a=-0.5t^{-2}$

Acceleration at t= 2 s

$a=-0.5\times 2^{-2}$

$a= -2\ m/s^2$

Acceleration at t= 5 s

$a=-0.5\times 5^{-2}$

$a=-12.5\ m/s^2$

We know that

$v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$dx=\left(2+\dfrac{1}{4t}\right)dt$

Position at t= 2 s:

$\int_{0}^{x}dx=\int_{1}^{2} \left(2+0.25\dfrac{1}{t}\right)dt$

$x=\left [2t+0.25\ lnt \right ]_{1}^{2}$

x=2+0.25 ln2

x=2.17 m

Position at t= 5 s:

$\int_{0}^{x}dx=\int_{1}^{5} \left(2+0.25\dfrac{1}{t}\right)dt$

$x=\left [2t+0.25\ lnt \right ]_{1}^{5}$

x=8+0.25 ln5

x=8.4 m

A truck is carrying a steel beam of length 13.0 m on a freeway. An accident causes the beam to be dumped off the truck and slide

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

$emf= 9.88 \times 10^{-3} T$

Explanation:

Given:

Length of the beam, $l=13\,m$

speed of the beam, $v=20\,m.s^{-1}$

magnitude of the vertical magnetic field, $B=38\times 10^{-6} T$

According to the Faraday's law the emf induced in a rod passing transversely through a magnetic field is given as:

$emf= l.v.B$

$emf=13\times 20\times 38\times 10^{-6}$

$emf= 9.88 \times 10^{-3} T$
