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).

A proton is accelerated from rest through a potential difference V0 and gains a speed v0. If it were accelerated instead through
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the charge on proton be q .

energy gain by proton in a field having potential difference of V₀

= V₀ q

Due to gain of energy , its kinetic energy becomes 1/2 m v₀²

where m is mass and v₀ is velocity of proton

V₀ q = 1/2 m v₀²

In the second case , gain of energy in electrical field

= 2 V₀q , if v be the velocity gained in the second case

2 V₀q = 1/2 m v²

1/2 m v² = 2 V₀q = 2 x 1/2 m v₀²

mv² = 2  m v₀²

v = √2 v₀

The average force of a baseball is 18.9 N . It’s mass is 0.145kg fine the acceleration in m/s^2
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

the acceleration is 130.3m/s²

Explanation:

Given data

Force F= 18.9N

Mass of ball m= 0.145kg

Acceleration a=?

Applying the Newton's second law of motion

"The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the external force".

F=ma

a= F/m

a= 18.9/0.142

a= 130.3m/s²

Atoms that are bonded together to form a new material with new<br> properties and characteristics. .
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. ... An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.
