An entertainer juggles balls while doing other activities. In one act, she throws a ball vertically upward, and while it is in t

he air, she runs to and from a table 5.50 m away at an average speed of 3.00 m/s, returning just in time to catch the falling ball. (a) With what minimum initial speed must she throw the ball upward to accomplish this feat? (b) How high above its initial position is the ball just as she reaches the table?

Answer:

a) 17.97 m/s

b) 16.5 m

Explanation:

The total distance that she runs is twice the distance between her and the table, which is 5.5 * 2 = 11m

So the time she would need to run that distance at a rate of 3m/s is

t = 11/3 = 3.67s

This is also the time it takes for the ball to be thrown up and down, which is twice the time it needs to reach the top, its maximum height at v = 0 m/s

So the time for the ball to reach maximum height is 3.67 / 2 = 1.83 s

Let g = 9.8m/s2. For the ball to get to 0 within 1.83s at the deceleration of 9.8m/s. Its initial speed must be

v = gt = 9.8*1.83 = 17.97 m/s

As she reaches the table within half of the total time (3.67 /2 = 1.83s), the position of the ball would be

h = vt + gt^2/2 = 17.97*1.83 - 9.8*1.83^2/2 = 16.5 m

An ice skater spins at 2.5 rev/s when his arms are extended. He draws his arms in and spins at 10.0 rev/s. By what factor does h
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₁ = 2.5 rev/s

final angular velocity of the  ice skater, ω₂ = 10.0 rev/s

During this process we assume that angular momentum is conserved;

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Where;

I₁ is the initial moment of inertia

I₂ is the final moment of inertia

I_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{I_1*2.5}{10} \\\\I_2 = 0.25I_1 = \frac{1}{4}I_1

Therefore, the moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

How could rescue workers use squeezing or compressing to get energy to their flashlights during rescue missions?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

They can do this with the help of mechanical power generated from the human muscle.

Explanation:

Since rescue workers engage in missions where it is usually difficult for them to get electrical energy to their devices and working tools, they could employ various materials that can be sourced around them to get energy to their tools. One of such is the mechanical power generated from the human body through squeezing and compressing.

Some green devices such as the dyno torch have been designed to be powered through this method. Repeated squeezing of its flywheel allows light to be generated.
