A rock is thrown upward from the top of a 30 m building with a velocity of 5 m/s. Determine its velocity (a) When it falls back

past its original point, (b) When it is 15 m above the street, and (c) Just before it hits the street. A horse drags a 100 kg sled a distance of 4 km in 20 minutes. The horse exerts one horsepower, of course. What is the coefficient of sliding friction between the sled and the ground?

Answer:

a) 5 m/s downwards

b) 17.86 m/s

c) 24.82 m/s

d) 0.228

Explanation:

We can set the frame of reference with the origin on the top of the building and the X axis pointing down.

The rock will be subject to the acceleration of gravity. We can use the equation for position under constant acceleration and speed under constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

V(t) = V0 + a * t

In this case

X0 = 0

V0 = -5 m/s

a = 9.81 m/s^2

To know the speed it will have when it falls back past the original point we need to know when it will do it. When it does X will be 0.

0 = -5 * t + 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

0 = t * (-5 + 4.9 * t)

One of the solutions is t = 0, but this is when the rock was thrown.

0 = -5 + 4.69 * t

4.9 * t = 5

t = 5 / 4.9

t = 1.02 s

Replacing this in the speed equation:

V(1.02) = -5 + 9.81 * 1.02 = 5 m/s (this is speed downwards because the X axis points down)

When the rock is at 15 m above the street it is 15 m under the top of the building.

15 = -5 * t + 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

4.9 * t^s -5 * t - 15 = 0

Solving electronically:

t = 2.33 s

At that time the speed will be:

V(2.33) = -5 + 9.81 * 2.33 = 17.86 m/s

When the rock is about to reach the ground it is at 30 m under the top of the building:

30 = -5 * t + 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

4.9 * t^s -5 * t - 30 = 0

Solving electronically:

t = 3.04 s

At this time it has a speed of:

V(3.04) = -5 + 9.81 * 3.04 = 24.82 m/s

---------------------

Power is work done per unit of time.

The work in this case is:

L = Ff * d

With Ff being the friction force, this is related to weight

Ff = μ * m * g

μ: is the coefficient of friction

L = μ * m * g * d

P = L/Δt

P = (μ * m * g * d)/Δt

Rearranging:

μ = (P * Δt) / (m * g * d)

1 horsepower is 746 W

20 minutes is 1200 s

μ = (746 * 1200) / (100 * 9.81 * 4000) = 0.228

Mass of Sun
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Percentage of mass converted to energy = 99.9 %

Explanation:

By far most of the solar system's mass is in the Sun itself: somewhere between 99.8 and 99.9 percent. The rest is split between the planets and their satellites, and the comets and asteroids and the dust and gas surrounding our star. Seen from afar (on the scale of distances between stars) the presence of the solar system would not be obvious. We would simply see a normal-looking star. Perhaps we would pick up the presence of Jupiter, which makes up two thirds or so of the solar system outside of the Sun, by mass.

Calculate the force on an object that has a mass of 12kg and an acceleration of 4m/s2.
iVinArrow [24]
<span>By Newton's second law of motion, we know that the resultant force acting on a body is directly proportional to the mass of the body and directly proportional to its acceleration. In system international (SI) units, the value of the constant of proportionality constant is 1. Therefore, the equation for Newton's second law of motion becomes: F = ma, where F is the resultant force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration of the object. Substituting the values of m and a into this formula, we get the result: F = 12 x 4 = 48. The SI unit for force is the Newton; therefore, <u>the answer is 48 Newtons.</u></span>

andrew-mc [135]

The focal length of a magnifying glass is the distance between the focal point and optical centre of the magnifying glass.

<h3>Focal length</h3>

The focal length, f is the distance from a lens or mirror to the focal point, F.

This is the distance from a lens or mirror at which parallel light rays will meet for a converging lens or mirror or appear to diverge from for a diverging lens or mirror.

A magnifying glass is a converging lens which produces a enlarged, erect and virtual image when an object is placed between the focal point and optical centre.

A magnifying glass will bring to focus at a point sun rays which can cause the paper to catch fire if it is held in place for long.

This point at which the most concentrated ray of light is shining on the paper, is the focal point for that magnifying glass.

Therefore, the focal length of a magnifying glass is the distance between the focal point and optical centre of the magnifying glass.

You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a 13-m-hi
Andrew [12]

Answer:

22.15 N/m

Explanation:

As we know potential energy = m*g*h

Potential energy of spring = (1/2)kx^2

m*g*h = (1/2)kx^2

Substituting the given values, we get -  

(400)*(9.8)*(10) = (0.5)*(k)*(2.0^2)

k = 39200/2.645

k = 19600 N/m

For safety reasons, this spring constant is increased by 13 % So the new spring constant is  

 k = 19600 * 1.13 = 22148 N/m = 22.15 N/m

How does ATP affect your body during exercise
aniked [119]

Answer:

The source of energy that is used to power the movement of contraction in working muscles is adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the body's biochemical way to store and transport energy. However, ATP is not stored to a great extent in cells. So once muscle contraction starts, the making of more ATP must start quickly.
