A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 22.0 m/s from the edge of the roof of a 30.0-m-tall building. The rock

doesn’t hit the building on its way back down and lands on the street below. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the speed of the rock just before it hits the street? (b) How much time elapses from when the rock is thrown until it hits the street?

Answer:

a) v=32.74\frac{m}{s}.

b) t=\frac{v-v_0}{g} =5.58s.

Explanation:

a) What is the speed of the rock just before it hits the street?

From Kinematics we have v^2= v_0^2+2a(y_f-y_i).

If we take the top of the roof as the position y_0=0m, then

y_f=-30m and we have (also, a=g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^2}) :

v^2= v_0^2+ 2ay_f ⇒ v= \sqrt{v_0^2+ 2ay_f}

⇒ v=32.74\frac{m}{s}.

b) How much time elapses from when the rock is thrown until it hits the street?

From Kinematics we have v(t)=v_0+at=v_0+gt

When the rock touches the ground:

v=-32.74\frac{m}{s}

With a minus sign to indicate the vector velocity points down.

t=\frac{v-v_0}{g} =5.58s

(remember that g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^2})

You are operating a powerboat at night. Your red sidelight must be visible to boats approaching from which direction(s)
Dmitriy789 [7]

The answer is the red sidelight on a powerboat should be visible from the front and from the left (port side).

What are Sidelights?

  • There is various combinations of lights that must be used on a boat when it is dark, and these are:
  • Sidelights: These lights are called combination lights and are red and green. The red sidelight must be visible from the port side and the green light indicates the right side (the starboard).
  • Stern light: The stern light is seen at the back end of the vessel.
  • Masthead Light: The masthead light is a white light that shines forwards and on all sides of the vessel. All powered vessels must use this light.
  • All-Round white light: This light is the major light that is used to join the masthead light and the stern light. This single light is visible to all vessels from all directions.
  • Thus, as a rule for a boat rider, he should show the vision of red light and it should be visible from the front and from the left (port side).

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.2 rad/s in 3.07 s. (a) f
Hitman42 [59]
(a) The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by
\alpha =  \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i }{t}
where \omega_i and \omega_f are the initial and final angular speed of the wheel, and t the time.

In our problem, the initial angular speed is zero (the wheel starts from rest), so the angular acceleration is
\alpha =  \frac{(11.2 rad/s) - 0}{3.07 s} =3.65 rad/s^2

(b) The wheel is moving by uniformly rotational accelerated motion, so the angle it covered after a time t is given by
\theta (t) = \omega_i t +  \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2
where \omega_i = 0 is the initial angular speed. So, the angle covered after a time t=3.07 s is
\theta=  \frac{1}{2}  \alpha t^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(3.65 rad/s^2)(3.07 s)^2 = 17.2 rad

Water flows through a 2.5cm diameter pipe at a rate of
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

From the Bernoulli energy principle,

ΔP + 1/2ρΔv² = 0 -------------------------- eqn 1

where

ΔP = pressure drop = P2 - P1 = (1 - 0.25)x10⁵ N/m =7.5 x 10⁴N/m

Δv²= velocity change = v₂² - v₁²

ρ = water density = 1kg/m3

Recall volumetric flow rate, Q=A v = constant

A = cross sectional area = πr²=πd²/4

d=pipe diameter at point 2 = 2.5cm = 0.025m and Q =0.20m³/min = 0.00333m³/s

So A= 0.000491m²

we can get v2 = Q/A = 6.79m/s

From eqn 1, v₁² = 2(P2 - P1)/ρ + v₂²

v₁² =  (2 x 7.5 x 10⁴)/1000 + 6.79²

v₁² = 196

v₁ = 14m/s

we can now get the area of the constriction point 2, A₁ = Q/v₁

A₁ = 0.000238m² and the diameter now will be d₁

d₁² = 4 x A₁ / π

     = 4 x 0.000238/3.14 = 0.000303m²

d₁ = √0.000303 = 0.0174m

Therefore, the diameter of  a constriction in the pipe  at the new pressure = 0.0174m = 1.74cm
