The larger the mass the mass and the speed, the larger the force it would produce if it crashes something. Some car crashes produce minor injuries because maybe this car is small and runs at very slow speed which would mean less force when in impact with another. However, if a big truck crashes, it is expected to produce a larger force causing catastrophic injuries.

The record distance in the sport of throwing cowpats is 81.1 m. This record toss was set by Steve Urner of the United States in
N76 [4]

Answer:

28.2 m/s

Explanation:

The range of a projectile launched from the ground is given by:

d=\frac{v^2}{g}sin 2\theta

where

v is the initial speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\theta is the angle at which the projectile is thrown

In this problem we have

d = 81.1 m is the range

\theta=45^{\circ} is the angle

Solving for v, we find the speed of the projectile:

v=\sqrt{\frac{dg}{sin 2 \theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(81.1 m)(9.8 m/s^2)}{sin (2\cdot 45^{\circ})}}=28.2 m/s

•What power does a pump develop to lift 35 L of water per minute
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

p =  \frac{w}{t}  \\ p =  \frac{f \times d}{t}  \\ p =  \frac{m \times g \times d}{t}  \\ p =   \frac{35 \times 9.8 \times 110}{60.0}  \\ p = 629w

How do natural gas and crude oil compare as energy resources?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Crude oil and natural gas are both energy commodities. As such, we use these fuels to heat and cool our homes or supply other energy needs. The price relationship between crude oil and natural gas is an inter-commodity spread, in which the prices between the two change in relation to each other.

Historically, in an inter-commodity spread, when one becomes more expensive, the other will be more desirable for consumers because of the lower prices and higher supply.

Many companies that produce crude oil also produce natural gas. Natural gas and crude oil exploration and production are often related because the release and capture of natural gas can occur during the oil drilling process.

The relationship between crude oil and natural gas changed around the turn of the 21st century due to the discovery of more natural gas reserves in the United States.

Huge natural gas reserves, previously undiscovered in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions of the U.S., altered the price relationship between these two energy commodities, lowering the price of natural gas in the U.S. while the price of oil continued to rise between 2000 and 2014.

Attributed to slowing growth of emerging economies and a reduction in oil demand, a drastic drop in the price of crude oil occurred in late 2014, continuing through early 2016. By 2018, the price of crude oil crept back up to over $70 per barrel. However, due to the coronavirus in 2020 almost halting demand for oil, crude oil prices dropped to historic lows, while natural gas dropped a little, but held pretty steady.

* A ball is projected horizontally from the top of
bagirrra123 [75]

Explanation:

Given

Ball is projected horizontally from a building of height h=19.6\ m

time taken to reach ground is given by

\text{Cosidering vertical motion}\\\Rightarrow h=ut+0.5at^2\\\Rightarrow 19.6=0+0.5\times 9.8t^2\\\Rightarrow t^2=4\\\Rightarrow t=2\ s

(b) Line joining the point of projection and the point where it hits the ground makes an angle of 45^{\circ}

From the figure, it can be written

\Rightarrow \tan 45^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=h\cdot 1\\\Rightarrow x=19.6

Considering horizontal motion

\Rightarrow x=u_xt\\\Rightarrow 19.6=u_x\times 4\\\Rightarrow u_x=4.9\ m/s

(c) The vertical velocity with which it strikes the ground is given by

\Rightarrow v^2-u_y^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v^2-0=2\times 9.8\times 19.6\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{384.16}\\\Rightarrow v=19.6\ m/s

Thus, the ball strikes with a vertical velocity of 19.6\ m/s

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

L = 499 m

Explanation:

  • If we assume that the speed of sound is constant, that travels along a straight line, and that the echo is instantaneous, we can find the total distance travelled by the sound, as follows, just applying the definition of average velocity:

       \Delta x = v_{s} * t = 343 m/s* 2.91 s = 998 m

  • If we assume that the time needed to reach to the cliff, is the same used for the return travel, the length of the lake will be exactly half of the total distance calculated:

        l_{lake} = \frac{\Delta x}{2} = \frac{998m}{2} = 499 m

  • The length of the lake is 499 m.
