How to create a water ripple experiment

1 answer:

5 0

I once had to create a water ripple experiment. I took a tote covered the bottom with rocks then filled the tote half way full with water. i made a ramp out of a shoebox or similar and took a bouncy ball and rolled it down the ramp. The thing I should have done is have something so you could tell how strong the wave was.

I don't know if your teacher would take this When I did it we were talking about natural disasters so ask your teacher first!

A world-class sprinter running a 100 m dash was clocked at 5.4 m/s 1.0 s after starting running and at 9.8 m/s 1.5 s later. In w

Answer:

<em>The output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Physical Power </u>

It measures the amount of work W an object does in certain time t. The formula needed to compute power is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}$

Work can be computed in several ways since we are given the motion conditions, we'll use this formula, for F= applied force, x=distance parallel to F

$W=F.x$

The second Newton's law gives us the net force as

$F=m.a$

being m the mass of the object and a the acceleration it has for a given period of time. In our problem, we have two different behaviors for each interval and we must calculate this force since the acceleration is changing. Let's calculate the acceleration in the first interval. We can use the formula for the final speed vf knowing the initial speed vo (which is 0 because the sprinter starts from rest), the acceleration a, and the time t:

$v_f=v_o+at$

$v_f=at$

Solving for a

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f}{t}={5.4}{1}$

$a=5.4\ m/s^2$

The distance traveled in the interval is given by

$\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}$

Since vo=0

$\displaystyle x=\frac{a.t^2}{2}=\frac{5.4(1)^2}{2}$

$x=2.7\ m$

The force is given by

$F=m.a$

We don't know the value of m, so the force is

$F=2.7m$

Computing the work done by the sprinter

$W=F.x=2.7m(5.4)$

$W=14.58m$

The power is finally computed

$\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{14.58m}{1}$

$P=14.58m$

During the second interval, from t=1 sec to 1.5 sec, the speed changes from 5.4 m/s to 9.8 m/s. This allows us to compute the second acceleration

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}=\frac{9.8-5.4}{0.5}$

$a=8.8\ m/s^2$

The distance is

$\displaystyle x=(5.4).(0.5)+\frac{8.8(0.5)^2}{2}$

$x=3.8\ m$

The net force is

$F=m(8.8)=8.8m$

The work done by the sprinter is now computed as

$W=8.8m(3.8)=33.44m$

At last, the output power is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{33.44m}{0.5}=66.88m$

By comparing both results, and being m the same for both parts, we conclude the output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s

A jetliner flies at a constant speed covering 467 miles in 3.3 hours. What is the speed of the plane in miles per hour?

stellarik [79]

Answer:

141.152 miles per hour is the speed of the plane in miles per hour

Explanation:

Speed of plane = Total distance travelled/total time taken -

v = D/t

Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

v = 467/3.3 miles /hour

v = 141.152 miles per hour

141.152 miles per hour is the speed of the plane in miles per hour

Find the object's speeds v1, v2, and v3 at times t1=2.0s, t2=4.0s, and t3=13s.

Burka [1]

Since this is a distance/time graph, the speed at any time is the slope
of the part of the graph that's directly over that time on the x-axis.

At time t1 = 2.0 s
That's in the middle of the first segment of the graph,
that extends from zero to 3 seconds.
Its slope is 7/3 . v1 = 7/3 m/s .

At time t2 = 4.0 s
That's in the middle of the horizontal part of the graph
that runs from 3 to 6 seconds.
Its slope is zero.
v2 = zero .

At time t3 = 13 s.
That's in the middle of the part of the graph that's sloping down,
between 11 and 16 seconds.
Its slope is -3/5 . v3 = -0.6 m/s .
