Answer:

H=174.168ft

Explanation:

See diagram below.

First, calculate y using sine function:

sin(22)=\frac{y'}{215} \\y'=215sin(22)=80.540ft

Then, calculate x using cosine function:

cos(22)=\frac{x}{215} \\x=215cos(22)=199.345ft

Now use tangent to calculate y:

tan(52)=\frac{y+y'}{x} \\y=x*tan(52)-y'\\y = 174.168ft.

Instantaneous speed is measured
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C. At a particular instant

Explanation:

Speed is the defined as the ratio between the distance covered by an object and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance and t the time.

However, there are two possible measurements of speed:

- Average speed: this is the speed measured over a non-zero time interval (for example: a car moving 100 metres in 5 seconds; its average speed is

v=\frac{100 m}{5 s}=20 m/s

- Instantaneous speed: this is the speed of an object measured at a particular instant in time, so for a time interval that tends to zero. So, in the previous example, the average speed is 20 m/s but the instantaneous speed of the car at various instants of time can be different from that value.

Object A has 27 J of kinetic energy. Object B has one-quarter the mass of object A.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

the final speed of object A changed by a factor of  \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } = 0.58

the final speed of object B changed by a factor of \sqrt{\frac{5}{3} } = 1.29

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of object A, = 27 J

let the mass of object A = m_A

then, the mass of object B = m_B = \frac{m_A}{4}

work done on object A = -18 J

work done on object B = -18 J

let v_i be the initial speed

let v_f be the final speed

For object A;

K.E_A = 27\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A v_i^2 = 27\\\\m_A v_i^2  = 54\\\\m_A = \frac{54}{v_i^2} ----Equation \ (1)\\\\Apply \ work-energy \ theorem;\\\\\delta K.E_A = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A v_f^2 - \frac{1}{2} m_A v_i^2 = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A ( v_f^2 \ -  v_i^2 )\ =- 18\\\\v_f^2 \ -  v_i^2  = -\frac{36}{m_A} ---Equation \ (2)\\\\v_f^2 \ -  v_i^2  = -\frac{36v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 \ =v_i^2 - \frac{36v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 = \frac{54v_i^2 -36v_i^2 }{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{18v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{v_i^2}{3} \\\\

v_f = \sqrt{\frac{v_i^2}{3} }\\\\v_f = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } \ v_i\\\\

Thus, the final speed of object A changed by a factor of  \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } = 0.58

To obtain the change in the final speed of object B, apply the following equations.

K.E_B_i = \frac{1}{2} m_Bv_i^2\\\\m_B = \frac{m_A}{4} \\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_i^2\\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{m_Av_i^2}{8} \\\\But, \ m_Av_i^2 = 54 \\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{54}{8} \\\\Apply \ work-energy \ theorem ;\\\\\delta K.E = -18\\\\K.E_f -K.E_i = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2}m_Bv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2} m_Bv_i^2 = -18\\\\Recall \ m_B =  \frac{m_A}{4} \\\\\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_i^2 = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{m_A}{4} (v_i^2 -v_f^2) = 18\\\\

\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{m_A}{4} (v_i^2 -v_f^2) = 18\\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 = \frac{8}{m_A} \times 18\\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 =\frac{144}{m_A} \\\\But , m_A = \frac{54}{v_i^2} \\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 =\frac{144v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = v_i^2 - \frac{144v_i^2}{54}\\\\v_f^2 = \frac{54v_i^2-144v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 = \frac{-90v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{-5v_i^2}{3} \\\\|v_f| = \sqrt{\frac{5v_i^2}{3}} \\\\|v_f| = \sqrt{\frac{5}{3}} \ v_i

Thus, the final speed of object B changed by a factor of \sqrt{\frac{5}{3} } = 1.29
