Answer:

v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}

Explanation:

We will apply the equations of kinematics to both stones separately.

First stone:

Let us denote the time spent after the second stone is thrown as 'T'.

y - y_0 = v_{y_0}(t+T) + \frac{1}{2}a(t+T)^2\\0 - h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(-g)(t+T)^2\\(t+T)^2 = \frac{2h}{g}\\T = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}-t

Second stone:

y - y_0 = v_{y_0}T + \frac{1}{2}aT^2\\0 - h = v_{y_0}T -\frac{1}{2}gT^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t)^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\frac{2h}{g} + t^2 - 2t\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})\\-h = v_{y_0}\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - v_{y_0}t - h -\frac{g}{2}t^2 + gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) = \frac{g}{2}t^2 - gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

3400 m

Explanation:

Both lightning and thunder happen at the same time but one is faster than the other. The distance traveled by a sound can be calculated from its speed such that;

 speed = distance/time, hence, distance = speed x time.

<em>For a thunder with 340 m/s speed and 10 seconds away from lightning, the distance between the thunder and the lightning can be calculated as</em>;

distance = 340 m/s x 10 s = 3400 m

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

a)   x₁ = 290.50 feet ,  x₂ = 169.74 feet , b)  v_max= 41 mph

Explanation:

For this exercise we will work in two parts, the first with Newton's second law to find the acceleration of vehicles

X Axis          fr = m a

Y Axis          N-W = 0

                    N = W = mg

The force of friction has the expression

                  fr = μ N

We replace

                 μ mg = ma

                 a = μ g

                 g = 32 feet / s²

Let's calculate the acceleration for each coefficient and friction

μ              a (feet / s2)

0.599       19.168

0.536       17,152

0.480       15.360

0.350        11.200

These are the acceleration values, for the maximum distance we use the minimum acceleration (a₁ = 11,200 feet / s²) and for the minimum braking distance we use the maximum acceleration (x₂ = 19,168 feet / s²)

                 v² = v₀² - 2 a x

When the speed stops it is zero

                 x₁ = v₀² / 2 a₁

                         

Let's reduce speed

            v₀ = 55mph (5280 foot / 1 mile) (1h / 3600s) = 80,667 feet / s²

Let's calculate the maximum braking distance

            x₁ = 80.667² / (2 11.2)

            x₁ = 290.50 feet

The minimum braking distance

            x₂ = 80.667² / (2 19.168)

            x₂ = 169.74 feet

b) maximum speed to stop at distance x = 155 feet

            0 = v₀² - 2 a x

            v₀ = √2 a x

We calculate the speed for the two accelerations

             v₀₁ = √ (2 11.2 155)

             v₀₁ = 58.92 feet / s

       

             v₀₂ = √ (2 19.168 155)

             v₀₂ = 77.08 feet / s

To stop at the distance limit in the worst case the maximum speed must be 58.92 feet / s = 40.85 mph = 41 mph

Gwar [14]

Answer:

\Delta S_1=-16\ J/K

\Delta S_2=26.66\ J/K

ΔS= 10.66 J/K

Explanation:

Given that

For hot reservoir :

T₁= 500 K

For cold reservoir :

T₂= 300 K

Energy transfer ,Q= 8000 J

The entropy change for the Hot reservoir :

\Delta S_1=-\dfrac{Q}{T_1}

\Delta S_1=-\dfrac{8000}{500}

\Delta S_1=-16\ J/K

The entropy change for the cold  reservoir :

\Delta S_2=\dfrac{Q}{T_2}

\Delta S_2=\dfrac{8000}{300}

\Delta S_2=26.66\ J/K

The entropy for universe

ΔS=ΔS₁+ΔS₂

ΔS= - 16 + 26.66 J/K

ΔS= 10.66 J/K
