In a Broadway performance, an 84.5-kg actor swings from a R = 4.30-m-long cable that is horizontal when he starts. At the bottom

of his arc, he picks up his 55.0-kg costar in an inelastic collision. What maximum height do they reach after their upward swing?

Answer:

1.57772 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of actor = 84.5 kg

m = Mass of costar = 55 kg

v = Velocity of costar

V  = Velocity of actor

h_i = Intial height of actor = 4.3 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

As the energy of the system is conserved

\frac{1}{2}MV^2=Mgh_i\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2gh_i}\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 4.3}\\\Rightarrow V=9.18509\ m/s

As the linear momentum is conserved

MV=(m+M)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{MV}{m+M}\\\Rightarrow V=\frac{84.5\times 9.18509}{84.5+55}\\\Rightarrow v=5.56372\ m/s

Applying conservation of energy again

\frac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2=(m+M)gh_f\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{5.56372^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h_f=1.57772\ m

The maximum height they reach is 1.57772 m

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. 1,715 m

Explanation:

We are given the information from the group of teen at the City edge

Time of arrival of explosion sound = 5 s after sighting

Time of sighting explosion = 5 s before hearing the boom

Speed of sound in air ≈ 343 m/s

Speed of light = 299,792 km/s

Therefore, distance covered by sound in 5 seconds is given by the following equation;

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

\therefore 343 \ m/s= \frac{Distance}{5 \, s}

Hence Distance = 343 m/s × 5 s = 1715 m

To check, we compare the time it would take for the light to cover 1715 m

That is Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} =  \frac{1715}{299,792,000} = 0.00000572 \, s which is instantaneous hence the distance can be approximated by the time duration for the speed of sound.

Therefore, the distance of the students from the factory is approximately 1,715 m

What fraction of the water must evaporate to remove precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant? water at 37°c has
mart [117]

The fraction of the water must evaporate to remove precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant when water at 37°c has a latent heat of vaporization of lv = 580 kcal/kg is 2.58 times 10 to the minus 3.

Vaporization is the process by which a substance is transformed from its liquid or solid state into its gaseous (vapour) state. Boiling is the term for the vaporization process when conditions permit the creation of vapour bubbles within a liquid. Sublimation is the process of directly converting a solid to a liquid.

Boiling and evaporation are the two processes that cause vaporization. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid body's surface changes from a liquid to a gas, as in the case of a drop of water on hot concrete evaporating into a gas. A liquid is said to be boiling when it is heated to the point at which it begins to give off steam, as when you boil water on a stove. The process of converting a substance from its liquid or solid state into its gaseous (vapour) state is known as vaporization.

A vessel that contains a gas has two pressure gauges attached to it. One contains liquid mercury, and the other an oil such as d
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Pressure of the gas = 12669 (Pa) and height of the oil is 1,24 meters

Explanation:

First, we can use the following sketch for an easy understanding, in the attached image we can see the two pressure gauges the one with mercury to the right and the other one with oil to left. We have all the information needed in the mercury pressure gauge, so we can determine the pressure inside the vessel because the fluid is a gas it will have the same pressure distributed inside the vessel (P1).

Since P1 = Pgas, we can use the same formula, but this time we need to determine the height of the column of oil in the pressure gauge.

The result is that the height of the oil column is higher than the height of the one that uses mercury, this is due to the higher density of mercury compared to oil.

Note: the information given in the units of the fluids is not correct because the density is always expressed in units of (mass /volume)
