"Angel Falls in southeastern Venezuela is the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world, dropping 979 m (3212 ft). Ignoring a

ir resistance, it would take 14 s for the water to fall from the lip of the falls to the river below. If the water lands 50 m from the base of the verti-cal cliff, what was its horizontal speed at the top"

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The value is $v = 3.57 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The depth is $d = 979 \ m$

The time taken for water to fall to below the river is $t = 14 \ s$

The horizontal distance from the base of the vertical cliff is $h = 50 \ m$

Generally the horizontal speed at the top is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{h}{t}$

=> $v = \frac{ 50}{ 14 }$

=> $v = 3.57 \ m/s$

In this example we see how thermal expansion can actually throw off the accuracy of a length-measuring device—namely, a tape mea

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The new length is 50.00885m

Explanation:

linear thermal expansion coefficient Fe 11.8e-6 /K

The new length can be determined using the following equation:

∆L/L = α∆T, where α is linear thermal expansion coefficient

∆L = Lα∆T = 50(11.8e-6)(35-20) = 0.00885 m

New length = ( 50.000 + 0.00885)m =

New length = 50.00885 m

a train engineer started the train from a standstill and sped up to 5 meters per second, she then rounded a corner at a constant

olasank [31]

for acceleration we can define that rate of change in velocity is know as acceleration

So whenever velocity of train is changing with time we can say train is accelerating

Now here if initially train is standstill then after some time its speed is 5 m/s

so here the train is accelerated first time

Then on straight path its speed changed from 5 m/s to 10 m/s so here train gets accelerated second time

After this train chugged around a curve with same speed 10 m/s

SO here since train is moving in curve so here its direction of velocity is continuously changing and this type of acceleration is known as centripetal acceleration

SO this is accelerated Third time

Then its speed decreases and it comes to speed of 5 m/s from 10 m/s

So here it is acceleration of train for Fourth time

Then finally train comes to stop so again its speed changed from 5 m/s to 0

so this is acceleration of train Fifth time

So total train will accelerate 5 times in whole path

You are at the controls of a particle accelerator, sending a beam of 2.10×107 m/s protons (mass m) at a gas target of an unknown

Kipish [7]

Answer:

a

The mass is $m_2 =21.75*10^{-27} \ kg$

b

The velocity is $v_2 = 3.0*10^{6} m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the protons is $u_1 = 2.10*10^{7} m/s$

The mass of the protons is $m$

The speed of the rebounding protons are $v_1 = -1.80 * 10^{7} \ m/s$

The negative sign shows that it is moving in the opposite direction

Now according to the law of energy conservation mass of one nucleus of the unknown element. is mathematically represented as

$m_2 = [\frac{u_1 -v_1}{u_1 + v_1} ] m_1$

Where $m_1$ is the mass of a single proton

So substituting values

$m_2 = \frac{2.10 *10^{7} - (-1.80 *10^{7})} {(2.10 *10^7) + (-1.80 *10^{7})} m_1$

$m_2 =13 m_1$

The mass of on proton is $m_1 = 1.673 * 10^{-27} \ kg$

So $m_2 =13 ( 1.673 * 10^{-27} )$

$m_2 =21.75*10^{-27} \ kg$

Now according to the law of linear momentum conservation the speed of the unknown nucleus immediately after such a collision is mathematically evaluated as

$m_1 u_1 + m_2u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2v_2$

Now $u_2$ because before collision the the nucleus was at rest

So

$m_1 u_1 = m_1 v_1 + m_2v_2$

=> $v_2 = \frac{m_1(u_1 -v_1)}{m_2}$

Recall that $m_2 =13 m_1$

So

$v_2 = \frac{m_1(u_1 -v_1)}{13m_1}$

=> $v_2 = \frac{(u_1 -v_1)}{13}$

substituting values

$v_2 = \frac{( 2.10*10^{7} -(-1.80 *10^{7}))}{13}$

$v_2 = 3.0*10^{6} m/s$
