Lukalu is rappelling off a cliff. The parametric equations that describe her horizontal and vertical position as a function of t

ime are x ( t ) = 8 t and y ( t ) = − 16 t 2 + 100 and . How long does it take her to reach the ground? How far away from the cliff is she when she lands?

Answer:

2.5 s, 5 m

Explanation:

The equations for the horizontal and vertical position of Lukalu are:

x(t) = 8t\\y(t) = -16t^2 + 100

we can find the time it takes her to reach the ground by requiring that the vertical position becomes zero:

y(t) = 0

So we find:

0=-16t^2 +100\\16t^2 = 100\\t=\sqrt{\frac{100}{16}}=2.5 s

The horizontal distance of Lukalu instead will be given by the equation for the horizontal position, substituting t = 2.5 s:

x=8t = 8 \cdot 2.5 s =5 m

A person approaches a flat mirror at a speed of 0.25 m / s. How fast is he approaching his image?
Bezzdna [24]
  • Flat mirror is given here
  • We know that in a flat mirror the distance of object from the mirror is equal to distance of image from the mirror i.e v=u
  • Only the side of image changes ime left is seemed right.

So the speed remains same 0.25m/s.

The CERN particle accelerator is circular with a circumference of 7.0 km.
Contact [7]

Answer:

a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2

F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N

Explanation:

m = Mass of proton = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

v = Speed of proton = 0.5c = 0.5\times 3\times 10^8=1.5\times 10^8\ m/s

Circumference of the colider is 7 km

P=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{P}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{7000}{2\pi}\ m

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow a_c=\frac{\left(1.5\times 10^8\right)^2}{\frac{7000}{2\pi}}\\\Rightarrow a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2

Centripetal acceleration is 2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2

F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 2.0196\times 10^{13}\\\Rightarrow F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N

Force on protons is 3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N

A playground merry-go-round has radius 2.40 m and moment of inertia 2100 kg⋅m2 about a vertical axle through its center, and it
daser333 [38]

Answer:

a) 0.31 rad/s

b) 100 J

c) 6.67 W

Explanation:

(a) the force would generate a torque of:

T = FR = 18 * 2.4 = 43.2 Nm

According to Newton 2nd law, the angular acceleration would be

\alpha = \frac{T}{I} = \frac{43.2}{2100} = 0.021 rad/s^2

It starts from rest, then after 15s it would achieve a speed of

\omega = \alpha t = 0.021 * 15 = 0.31 rad/s

(b) The distance angle swept by it is:

\theta = \frac{\alpha t^2}{2} = \frac{0.021 * 15^2}{2} = 2.314 rad

Hence the work by the child

W = T\theta = 43.2 *2.314  \approx 100 J

c) Average power to work per time unit

P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{100}{15} = 6.67 W
