If santa slides 5.00 m before reaching the edge, what is his speed as he leaves the roof?

1 answer:

8 0

Even with no friction, it depends on the slope of the roof. That is, it depends on how much elevation (altitude) he loses during the slide.

Whatever that number is ... call it 'h' ... Santa's speed when he reaches the edge is

Square root of (19.6h) meters per second.

It doesn't matter how much he weighs, or how far he has slud. Only how much altitude he lost on the slope while sliding.

When the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each sec

bixtya [17]

Answer:

1340.2MW

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1 finds the maximum maximum power, using the hydraulic power equation which is the product of the flow rate by height by the specific weight of fluid

W=αhQ

α=specific weight for water =9.81KN/m^3

h=height=220m

Q=flow=690m^3/s

W=(690)(220)(9.81)=1489158Kw=1489.16MW

2. Taking into account that the generator has a 90% efficiency, Find the real power by multiplying the ideal power by the efficiency of the electric generator

Wr=(0.9)(1489.16MW)=1340.2MW

the maximum possible electric power output is 1340.2MW

Superman stops a "speeding locomotive" of mass 8.0x103 kg in 4.0 seconds. If the train was originally moving at 40.m/s,

madreJ [45]

Hello!

a) What is the change in momentum?

The change of the momentum is the velocity, because the velocity is reduced to zero.

We can calculate the aceleration, applicating the formula:

$\boxed{a=\frac{V-Vi}{t} }$

Like you see, the final velocity will be zero, so:

$a = \dfrac{0m/s-40m/s}{4s}$

$a = \dfrac{-40m/s}{4s}$

$a = -10\ m/s^{2}$

Like you see, the aceleration applicate by superman is of -10 m/s^2.

If the aceleration is negattive, means the velocity will decrease.

b.) What is the magnitud of the force wich superman exerts on the train?

For calculate the force applicate for superman, lets applicate the second law of Newton:

$\boxed{F=ma}$

Lets replace and resolve it:

F = 8x10^3 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = 8000 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = -80 000 N

The force applicated is of -80000 Newtons.

When the force is negative means the force applicated in the another direction of the object what is traveling.

Which of the following is a possible use for nuclear energy?

belka [17]

Nuclear energy can be used to power all of the above choices. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste that must be stored properly. It is very impossible for a nuclear power plant to have no waste at all since lots of chemicals are used to create the process as it gives energy to other machines, weapons such as bombs and powering submarines. Radioactive waste can not be released into local water supplies since the wastes are very radioactive and may cause mutation to the fishes and bioaccumulation which will affect humans as well. It will also cause air pollution if the chemicals are not stored properly.
