A bolt is dropped from a bridge under construction, falling 94 m to the valley below the bridge. (a) how much time does it take

to pass through the last 26 % of its fall? what is its speed (b) when it begins that last 26 % of its fall and (c) just before it reaches the ground?

Refer to the diagram shown below.

When the bolt is dropped at a height of 94 m, its initial velocity, V, is zero.
The last 26% of its fall is at a height of 0.26*94 = 24.4 m.
At that time, the bolt has fallen by 94 - 24.4 = 69.56 m.

The time, t, for the bolt to fall a known distance obeys the equation 
s = Vt + (1/2)gt²,
where
s = 69.56 m, vertical distance traveled, and
g = acceleration due to gravity.

Therefore
69.56 = 0 + (1/2)*9.8*t²
t² = (69.56*2)/9.8
t = 3.7677 s

The total time, T, to fall 94 m is given by 
94 = (1/2)*9.8*T^2
T² = 19.1837
T = 4.38 s

The time taken to pass through the last 26% of its fall is
T - t = 4.38 - 3.7677 = 0.6122 s

The speed after falling 69.56 m is given by
V₁ = 0 + g*t = 36.9235 m/s

The speed with which the bolt strikes the ground is given by
V₂ = 0 +g*T = 9.8*4.38 = 42.924 m/s

Answer:
(a) The bolt takes 0.6122 s to pass through the last 26% of its fall.
(b) When the bolt begins the last 26% of its fall, its speed is 36.92 m/s (nearest hundredth).
(c) Just before it strikes the ground, the speed of the bolt is 42.94 m/s (nearest hundredth).

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Frequency is <u>the number of waves</u> that move past a point during a specific amount of time. Frequency is measured in <u>Hertz</u>, and is classified as high, medium, or low. Frequency is interpreted as the <u>pitch</u> of a sound. Intensity refers to the <u>loudness</u> of a sound and is measured in <u>decibels</u>. Louder sounds <u>increase</u> the rate of nerve signals relayed to the brain.

How does emission spectra occur?
Lerok [7]

The frequencies of light that an atom can emit are dependent on states the electrons can be in. When excited, an electron moves to a higher energy level or orbital. When the electron falls back to its ground level the light is emitted.

In nuclear reaction 5 kg of reactants give 2kg of products
dlinn [17]
Choice A is correct.======Kinetic energy equation:   KE = (1/2)(m)(v²)This tells us that KE is directly proportional to mass and the square of velocity. In other words, the more mass and more velocity an object has, the more kinetic energy.If an object is sitting at the top of a ramp, there is no velocity and therefore no kinetic energy.    Choices B and D are wrong.A golf ball has more mass than a ping-pong ball, so a ping-pong ball would have less kinetic energy than a golf ball rolling off the end of a ramp.    Choice C is wrong.Choice A is correct.

Does it take more force to slow something down than to speed it up.
ANTONII [103]
To bring something to a stop the same force that was applied to speed it up can be used to stop it. If a greater force is used it will stop quicker.
