Initial height: 66.5 m

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of energy.

If we neglect air resistance, the total mechanical energy of the car is conserved during the fall, therefore we can write:

K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f

where :

K_i = 0 is the kinetic energy of the car at the top (it starts from rest)

U_i = mgh is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the top, with:

m = the mass of the car

g = the acceleration of gravity

h = the heigth of the car

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the kinetic energy of the car just before hitting the ground, with

v = 130 km/h final speed of the car

U_f = 0 is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the bottom

Re-arranging the equation,  we find

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

and we have:

g=9.8 m/s^2\\v = 130 km/h = 36.1 m/s

Solving for h, we find the initial height of the car:

h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{36.1^2}{2(9.8)}=66.5 m

A heat engine operating between energy reservoirs at 20?c and 600?c has 30% of the maximum possible efficiency.
Anarel [89]
 <span>The maximum possible efficiency, i.e the efficiency of a Carnot engine , is give by the ratio of the absolute temperatures of hot and cold reservoir. 
η_max = 1 - (T_c/T_h) 

For this engine: 
η_max = 1 - [ (20 +273)K/(600 + 273)K ] = 0.66 = 66% 

The actual efficiency of the engine is 30%, i.e. 
η = 0.3 ∙ 0.664 = 0.20 = 20 % 

On the other hand thermal efficiency is defined as the ratio of work done to the amount of heat absorbed from hot reservoir: 
η = W/Q_h 

So the heat required from hot reservoir is: 
Q_h = W/η = 1000J / 0.20 = 5000J</span>

A bowling ball rolls 33\,\text m33m33, start text, m, end text with an average speed of 2.5\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}2.5 s m ​ 2
asambeis [7]

The ball rolled for 13.2 s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Speed is scalar and no direction

\tt avg~speed=\dfrac{total~distance}{elapsed~time}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

A bowling ball rolls 33 m, with average speed = 2.5 m/s

So elapsed time :

\tt t=\dfrac{33~m}{2.5`m/s}=13.2~s

What force does the water exert (in addition to that due to atmospheric pressure) on a submarine window of radius 44.0 cm at a d
Butoxors [25]
Calculate the pressure due to sea water as density*depth.
That is, 
pressure = (1025 kg/m^3)*((9400 m)*(9.8 m/s^2) = 94423000 Pa = 94423 kPa

Atmospheric pressure is  101.3 kPa
Total pressure is  94423 + 101.3 = 94524 kPa (approx)

The area of the window is π(0.44 m)^2 = 0.6082 m^2

The force on the window is
(94524 kPa)*(0.6082 m^2) = 57489.7 kN = 57.5 MN approx

The Displacement is 5m. We found that using the
Llana [10]

Answer:

A vector can be written as:

(R, θ)

Where R is the magnitude, in this case, we know that the magnitude of the displacement is 5m

Then:

R = 5m

and θ defines the direction, it's an angle measured from the positive x-axis.

(In the image, θ would be the angle located at the point A)

Now, if you look at the image, you can see a triangle rectangle.

Where the adjacent cathetus has a length of 4,

the opposite cathetus has a length of 3 units

the hypotenuse has a length of 5 units.

So we can use any trigonometric rule to find the value of θ, like:

sin(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/hypotenuse

Then:

sin(θ) = 3m/5m

Now we can use the inverse sin function, Asin(x), in both sides

Asin( sin(θ)) = θ = Asin( 3/5) = 36.87°

then the vector is:

(5m, 36.87°)

Now, if we define the positive y-axis as the North, and the positive x-axis as the East.

This vector would point at 36.87° North of East.

(or almost Northeast)
