Water at the top of Iagara Falls possesses gravitational potential energy
because of its height, and kinetic energy because of its motion. 

A lot of this energy is tapped off of the stream as the water falls, and is
used to generate electrical energy.

180-ft = about 54.9 meters

1 kilogram (1 liter) of water loses about

                     (1 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (54.9 m)

                 =      about 538 joules of potential energy,
                         while falling from the top of Iagara Falls
                         to the pool at the bottom.

Which of the following would be the magnitude of the vector given a horizontal component of 30 and a
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

50

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal, or the hypotenuse of an imaginary triangle. 30^2 + 40^2 = 2500, which is 50^2. So, the magnitude is 50.

What ocean depth would the volume of an aluminium sphere be reduced by 0.10%
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

6400 m

Explanation:

You need to use the bulk modulus, K:

K = ρ dP/dρ

where ρ is density and P is pressure

Since ρ is changing by very little, we can say:

K ≈ ρ ΔP/Δρ

Therefore, solving for ΔP:

ΔP = K Δρ / ρ

We can calculate K from Young's modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (ν):

K = E / (3 (1 - 2ν))

Substituting:

ΔP = E / (3 (1 - 2ν)) (Δρ / ρ)

Before compression:

ρ = m / V

After compression:

ρ+Δρ = m / (V - 0.001 V)

ρ+Δρ = m / (0.999 V)

ρ+Δρ = ρ / 0.999

1 + (Δρ/ρ) = 1 / 0.999

Δρ/ρ = (1 / 0.999) - 1

Δρ/ρ = 0.001 / 0.999

Given:

E = 69 GPa = 69×10⁹ Pa

ν = 0.32

ΔP = 69×10⁹ Pa / (3 (1 - 2×0.32)) (0.001/0.999)

ΔP = 64.0×10⁶ Pa

If we assume seawater density is constant at 1027 kg/m³, then:

ρgh = P

(1027 kg/m³) (9.81 m/s²) h = 64.0×10⁶ Pa

h = 6350 m

Rounded to two sig-figs, the ocean depth at which the sphere's volume is reduced by 0.10% is approximately 6400 m.

A bowling ball that has a radius of 11.0 cm and a mass of 5.00 kg rolls without slipping on a level lane at 2.80 rad/s.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bowling ball, m = 5 kg

Radius of the ball, r = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Angular velocity with which the ball rolls, \omega=2.8\ rad/s

To find,

The ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball.

Solution,

The translational kinetic energy of the ball is :

K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}m(r\omega)^2

K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5\times (0.11\times 2.8)^2

The rotational kinetic energy of the ball is :

K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}I \omega^2

K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}mr^2\times \omega^2

K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\times 5\times (0.11)^2\times (2.8)^2

Ratio of translational to the rotational kinetic energy as :

\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}

So, the ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball is 5:2

Why is velocity and not just speed important to these pilots
Alborosie
Velocity is a vector. Therefore, it depends on the direction. Pilots need to know the direction of wind, not just the speed. If the pilot is going South, and there's 5 mph wind going South, they'll be happy, but if the wind is going 5 mph North, they'll be going against the wind.
