Answer:

T = 5.36 s

Explanation:

given,

depth of the mine shaft = 122.5 m

speed of the sound = 340 m/s

time taken = ?

time taken by the stone to reach at the bottom

using equation of motion

$s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

initial speed , u = 0 m/s

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 122.5}{9.8}}$

t = 5 s

time taken by the sound to travel

d =v x t

$t = \dfrac{d}{v}$

$t = \dfrac{122.5}{340}$

t = 0.36 s

total time taken for the sound to reach carol after dropping the stone

T = 5 + 0.36

T = 5.36 s

Part A If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 47.5 m/s and the batted ball's velocity is 51.5 m/s in the opposite

nalin [4]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the mass of a pitched ball is 0.145 kg.

Initial velocity of the pitched ball, u = 47.5 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -51.5 m/s (in opposite direction)

We need to find the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and the impulse applied to it by the bat. The change in momentum of the ball is given by :

$\Delta p=m(v-u)\\\\\Delta p=0.145\times ((-51.5)-47.5)\\\\\Delta p=-14.355\ kg-m/s$

So, the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball is 14.355 kg-m/s.

Let the the ball remains in contact with the bat for 2.00 ms. The impulse is given by :

$J=\dfrac{\Delta p}{t}\\\\J=\dfrac{14.355}{2\times 10^{-3}}\\\\J=7177.5\ kg-m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

At time t1 = 2.00 s, the acceleration of a particle in counterclockwise circular motion is (7.00 m/s2)i hat + (6.00 m/s2)j. It m

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

r = 3519.55 m

Explanation:

We know that the acceleration of a particle in a circular motion is directed towards the center of the circumference and has magnitude:

F = rω^2

Where r is the radius of the circumference and ω is the angular velocity.

From the two acceleration vectors we find that their magnitude is

√(7^2+6^2) = √85

Therefore:

√85 m/s^2= rω^2

Now we need to calculate the angular velocity to obtain the radius. Since t2-t1 = 3s is less than one period we can be sure that the angular velocity is equals to the angle traveled between this time divided by 3 s.

The angle with respect to the x-axis for the particle at t1 and t2 is:

$\theta 1 =\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{7}{\sqrt{85}}\right)\\\theta 2 =\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{6}{\sqrt{85}}\right)\\$

Therefore, the angular velocity ω is (in radians per second):

$\omega = \frac{\theta2 - \theta1}{3 s} = 0.0511813 \frac{1}{s}$

Therefore:

r = √85 / (0.0511813)^2 = 3519.55 m
