The specialty of an athlete on the women's track team is the pole vault. She has a mass of 48 kg and her approach speed is 8.9 m

/s. When she is directly above the bar, her speed is 1.6 m/s. Neglecting air resistance and any energy absorbed by the pole, determine the amount(in m) she has raised herself as she crosses the bar.

Answer:

H = 3.9 m

Explanation:

mass (m) = 48 kg

initial velocity (initial speed) (U) = 8.9 m/s

final velocity (V) = 1.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the height she raised her self to as she crosses the bar (H)

from energy conservation, the change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mg(H-h)

where h = initial height = 0 since she was on the ground

the equation becomes

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mgH

0.5 x 48 x (1.6^{2} - [test]8.9^{2}[/tex]) = 48 x 9.8 x H

-1839.6 = 470.4 H  (the negative sign indicates a decrease in kinetic energy so we would not be making use of it further)

H = 3.9 m

The electrical generators can provide 1.5 × 109 W of power for a maximum of 5 hours. Calculate the maximum energy that can be tr
hoa [83]

The maximum energy that can be transferred by the electrical generator is  2.7×10¹³ Joules.

We can use the equation of electric power and electric energy.

Electric Power: This can be defined as the ratio of the electric energy to the time of electrical equipment.

⇒ Formula

  • P = E/t............... Equation 1

⇒Where:

  • P =  Maximum electric power
  • E =  Maximum electric Energy
  • t = time.

make E the subject of the equation

  • E = Pt................. Equation 2

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • P = 1.5×10⁹ W
  • t = 5 hours = (5×60×60) seconds = 18000 seconds = 1.8×10⁴ s

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 2

  • E = (1.5×10⁹)(1.8×10⁴)
  • E = 2.7×10¹³ Joules.

Hence, the maximum energy that can be transferred by the electrical generator is  2.7×10¹³ Joules.

You stand on top a building 44 m tall with a water balloon. You drop the water balloon from rest. How fast is the balloon moving
BabaBlast [244]

Y₀ = initial position of the balloon at the top of the building = 44 m

Y = final position of the balloon at halfway down the building = 44/2 = 22 m

a = acceleration of the balloon = - 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = initial velocity of the balloon = 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the balloon = ?

using the kinematics equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a (Y - Y₀)

inserting the values

v² = 0² + 2 (- 9.8) (22 - 44)

v = 20.78 m/s

Consider the following thermochemical equation:
Arisa [49]

Answer:

m_w=5.3248\times 10^{23}\ kg

Explanation:

According to the given reaction,

heat released by thecombustion of 2 molecules of Methanol, \Delta H=1277000\ J

we know that molecular mass of Methanol, m=32\ g.mol^{-1}

∴12 gram of methanol = \frac{3}{8}\ moles

we know 1 mole = 6.023\times 10^{23}\ molecules

so,

\rm \frac{3}{8} \ moles=2.258\times 10^{23}\ molecules

Heat from the combustion of 2.258\times 10^{23}\ molecules:

Q=1277000\times \frac{2.258\times 10^{23}}{2}

Q=1442132.0625\times 10^{23}\ J

<u>Now the  mass of water that can be heated from 23.5°C to 88.2°C :</u>

Q=m_w.c_w.\Delta T

1442132.0625\times 10^{23}=m_w.4186\times (88.2-23.5)

m_w=5.3248\times 10^{23}\ kg

A bike at rest moves to 2 m/s in 2 seconds.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

When at rest, initial velocity = 0

In 2 seconds, final velocity = 2 m/s

Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

= (2 - 0) / 2

= 1 m/s^2
