True think of it like a satellite if it weren't for the earths gravity they would've kept going in a straight line up

Stels [109]

Ok so this is simple projectile motion problem.

if we have an object falling in free fall it is subject to gravity of -9.80m/s^2

so it says it takes 6 sec to fall and we know initial velocity was zero so we know that h=vt+1/2gt^2 so we get h=0+1/2*9.80*6^2 = 176.4m

so solving for final speed we get KE=PE = 1/2mv^2=mgh = 1/2v^2=gh so
v=sqrt(2*g*h) = sqrt(2*9.8*176.4m) = 58.8m/s final speed when it hits the ground

hope this helps you! Thanks!!

In an incompressible three-dimensional flow field, the velocity components are given by u = ax + byz; υ = cy + dxz. Determine th

Ksivusya [100]

An incompressible flow field F in a 3D cartesian grid with components u,v,w:

F = u + v + w

where u,v,w are functions of x,y,z

Must satisfy:

∇·F = du/dx + dv/dy + dw/dz = 0

We have a field F defined:

F = u+v+w, u = ax+byz, v = cy+dxz

du/dx = a, dv/dy = c

Recall ∇·F = 0:

∇·F = du/dx + dv/dy + dw/dz = 0

a + c + dw/dz = 0

dw/dz = -a-c

Solve for w by separation of variables:

w = ∫(-a-c)dz

w = -az - cz + f(x,y)

f(x,y) is some undetermined function of x and y

The question states that w is not a function of x and y, therefore f(x,y) = 0...

w = -az - cz

Julie drives 100 mi to Grandmother's house. On the way to Grandmother's, Julie drives half the distance at 30.0 mph and half the

salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance to grandmother's house=100 mi

it is given that during return trip Julie spend equal time driving with speed 30 mph and 70 mph

Let Julie travel x mi with 30 mph and 100-x with 70 mph

$\frac{x}{30}=\frac{100-x}{70}$

x=30 mi

Therefore

Julie's Average speed on the way to Grandmother's house $=\frac{100}{\frac{50}{30}+\frac{50}{70}}$

=42 mph

On return trip

$=\frac{100}{2\frac{30}{30}}=50 mph$

If the amplitude of a wave is 4 feet, what is the Wave Height?

Alexus [3.1K]

A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,

Elena-2011 [213]

a) $3.14 \cdot 10^{-4} s$

b) See plot attached

c) 10.0 m

d) 0.500 cm

Explanation:

The position of the tip of the lever at time t is described by the equation:

$y(t)=(0.500 cm) sin[(2.00\cdot 10^4 s^{-1})t]$ (1)

The generic equation that describes a wave is

$y(t)=A sin (\frac{2\pi}{T} t)$ (2)

where

A is the amplitude of the wave

T is the period of the wave

t is the time

By comparing (1) and (2), we see that for the wave in this problem we have

$\frac{2\pi}{T}=2.00\cdot 10^4 s^{-1}$

Therefore, the period is

$T=\frac{2\pi}{2.00\cdot 10^4}=3.14 \cdot 10^{-4} s$

The sketch of the profile of the wave until t = 4T is shown in attachment.

A wave is described by a sinusoidal function: in this problem, the wave is described by a sine, therefore at t = 0 the displacement is zero, y = 0.

The wave than periodically repeats itself every period. In this sketch, we draw the wave over 4 periods, so until t = 4T.

The maximum displacement of the wave is given by the value of y when $sin(...)=1$ , and from eq(1), we see that this is equal to

y = 0.500 cm

So, this is the maximum displacement represented in the sketch.

When standing waves are produced in a string, the ends of the string act as they are nodes (points with zero displacement): therefore, the wavelength of a wave in a string is equal to twice the length of the string itself:

$\lambda=2L$
