An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.95 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 5.00 m/s from a height of 1.60 m above

the ground.
(a) Will the rock reach the top of the wall?
(b) If so, what is its speed at the top? If not, what initial speed must it have to reach the top?

Answer:

a) No

b) the rock must have a minimum initial speed of 6.79m/s for it to reach the top of the building.

Explanation:

Given:

Height of the wall = 3.95m

Initial height = 1.60m

Initial speed = 5.00m/s

distance between the initial height and wall top = 3.95 - 1.60 = 2.35m

Using the formula;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as ....1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance travelled

From equation 1

s = (v^2 - u^2)/2a ...2

Since the rock t moving up,

the acceleration = -g = -9.8m/s2

s = maximum height travelled

v = 0 (at maximum height velocity is zero)

Substituting into equation 2

s = (0 - 5^2)/(2×-9.8) = 1.28m

Therefore, the maximum height is 1.28 from his initial height Which is less than the 2.35m of the wall from his initial height. So the rock will not reach the top of the wall

b) Using equation 1:

u^2 = v^2 - 2as

v = 0

a = -9.8m/s

s = 2.35m. (distance between the initial height and wall top)

u^2 = 0 - 2(-9.8 × 2.35)

u^2 = 46.06

u = √46.06

u = 6.79m/s

Therefore, the rock must have a minimum initial speed of 6.79m/s

While solving a problem, Tran calculates an answer that has coulomb-volts as the units.
Bess [88]

Apparently, the question is looking for A. electric potential energy;

but I don't think that's quite right. Electric potential difference is expressed in Joules / Coulomb which is the work to move a charge between 2 points

Example: If the electric field between, say, between 2 capacitor plates is

E = 100 Newtons / Coulomb then the work done in moving a unit of charge from the negative plate to the positive plate separted by 1 cm is

V = E * d = 100 Newtons / Coulomb * .01 meters = 1 Newton-meter / Coulomb

= 1 Joule / Coulomb    which is the electric potential or potential difference

(The definition of electric potential between points is "the work moving a unit positive test charge from one point to the other")

Now in our above example where V = 1 Joule / Coulomb

if we move 10 Coulombs from the negative plate to the positive plate

W = V Q  = 1 Joule / Coulomb * 10 Coulombs = 10 Joules

where work done has the correct units of Joules.

Your textbook should help clarify this.

The temperature at the surface of the Sun is approximately 5,300 K, and the temperature at the surface of the Earth is approxima
N76 [4]

Answer:

The entropy change of the Universe that occurs is 19.346 J/K

Explanation:

Given;

temperature of the sun, T_s = 5,300 K

temperature of the Earth, T_E = 293 K

radiation energy transferred by the sun to the earth, E = 6000 J

The sun loses Q of heat and therefore decreases its entropy by the amount

\delta S_{sun} = \frac{-Q}{T_s}

The earth gains Q of heat and therefore increases its entropy by the amount

\delta S_{Earth} = \frac{-Q}{T_E}

The total entropy change is:

\delta S_{Earth} + \delta S_{sun} = \frac{Q}{T_E} -\frac{Q}{T_S} \\\\                                                      = Q(\frac{1}{T_E} -\frac{1}{T_S} )\\\\= 6000(\frac{1}{293} -\frac{1}{5300} )\\\\=6000(0.0032243)\\\\= 19.346 \ J/K

Therefore, the entropy change of the Universe that occurs is 19.346 J/K

An 6 kg object accelerating from 17 m/s to 10 m/s. What is the change in momentum of the object?
blagie [28]

Answer:

The change in momentum (in kg*m/s) = 42

Explanation:

The change in momentum is equal to

Final Momentum - Initial Momentum

As we know

Momentum is equal to the product of mass and velocity

M = m * v

where m is the mass of the body and v is the speed

Thus, change in momentum

m_2v_2 - m_1v_1

here m1 = m2 = 6 Kg

Substituting the given values in above equation we get -

6 * 17 - 6* 10\\6 (17-10) = 6 * 7 = 42  kg m/s
