Answer:

a) 31.4 m/s

b) 50.2 m

Explanation:

a) When an object is free falling, its speed is determined by the gravity force giving it acceleration. Equation for the velocity of free fall started from the rest is:

v = g • t

g - is gravitational acceleration which is 9.81 m/s^2, sometimes rounded to 10

t - is the time of free fall

So:

v = 9.81 m/s^2 • 3.2

v = 31.4 m/s ( if g is rounded to 10, then the velocity is 10 • 3.2 = 32 m/s)

b) To determine the distance crossed in free fall we use the equation:

s = v0 + gt^2/2

v0 - is the starting velocity (since object started fall from rest, its v0 is 0)

s = gt^2/2

s = 9.81 m/s^2 • 3.2^2 / 2

s = 50.2 m (if we round g to 10 then the distance is 10 • 3.2^2/2 = 51.2 meters)

Two long, parallel wires are separated by a distance of 2.00 cm . The force per unit length that each wire exerts on the other i
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

a) current in the second wire is 5.60A

b) opposite directions

Explanation:

a) We need to find the current of wire, the magnitude of the force per unit length between the two wires carrying current I and I¹ is given by

\frac{F}{L} = \frac{U_0I^1}{2\pi r} \\\\I^1 = \frac{F2\pi r}{LU_0I}

= (3.6 * 10^-^5)\frac{2\pi (0.02)}{4\pi * 10^-^7)(0.64)} \\= 5.60A

b) knowing that for a two parallel conductor carrying current in the same direction attracts each other, and for a two parallel conductors carrying carying current in opposite direction repels eachother.

therefore, since the two wire repel each other then the current in the second wire must flow in the opposite direction of the current in the first wire.

Assuming 100% efficient energy conversion, how much water stored behind a 50cm high hydroelectric dam would be required to charg
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

12.245m3

Explanation:

The electric energy is created by The potential energy substended by the specific volume of water in dam.

Electric energy is calculated as

E= Q× V

E is Energy, Q is charge and V is Voltage

Note that this energy has been given and is 60Joules

From conservation of energy it means;

M× g×h = 60

Where M is the mass of water.

g is acceleration of free fall due to gravity which is 9.8m/S2

h is the height of water flow.

From change of subject of formula for M; we have:

M = 60/ g × h

= 60/ 9.8 × 0.5

= 12.245kg

Now how much water required means the volume of water;

Note density = mass/volume

Therefore volume = mass/density

=12.245/1= 12.245m3

Note the density of water is 1kg/m3

A novelty golf ball of mass m is launched with an initial velocity v0 = (25i + 13j) m/s and then follows a parabolic trajectory.
SVEN [57.7K]

Explanation:

(a)

The initial vertical velocity is 13 m/s.  At the maximum height, the vertical velocity is 0 m/s.

v = at + v₀

0 = (-9.8) t + 13

t ≈ 1.33 s

(b)

Immediately prior to the explosion, the ball is at the maximum height.  Here, the vertical velocity is 0 m/s, and the horizontal velocity is constant at 25 m/s.

v = √(vx² + vy²)

v = √(25² + 0²)

v = 25 m/s

(c)

Momentum is conserved before and after the explosion.

In the x direction:

m vx = ma vax + mb vbx

m (25) = (⅓ m) (0) + (⅔ m) (vbx)

25m = (⅔ m) (vbx)

25 = ⅔ vbx

vbx = 37.5 m/s

And in the y direction:

m vy = ma vay + mb vby

m (0) = (⅓ m) (0) + (⅔ m) (vby)

0 = (⅔ m) (vby)

vby = 0 m/s

Since the vertical velocity hasn't changed, and since Fragment B lands at the same height it was launched from, it will have a vertical velocity equal in magnitude and opposite in direction as its initial velocity.

vy = -13 m/s

And the horizontal velocity will stay constant.

vx = 37.5 m/s

The velocity vector is (37.5 i - 13 j) m/s.  The magnitude is:

v = √(vx² + vy²)

v = √(37.5² + (-13)²)

v ≈ 39.7 m/s
