You own a yacht which is 14.5 meters long. It is motoring down a canal at 10.6 m/s. Its bow (the front of the boat) is just abou

t to begin passing underneath a bridge that is 30.0 m across. How much time is required until its stern (the end of the boat) is no longer under the bridge?

Answer:

4.198 seconds

Explanation:

The total length of the yacht is 30m and the width of the bridge is 14.5m.

The speed of the yacht is 10.6m/s.

We can assume the current of the canal has a speed of 0m/s.

To calculate the answer we will break it into two parts

1) The time it takes for the bow to travel from the start of the bridge to the end

<em>Formula Speed = Distance / Time</em>

Speed = 10.6m/s

Distance = 30m

Time = T1

T1 = 2.8301s

2) The time it takes for the stern to cross the end of the bridge after the bow

<em />

<em>Formula Speed = Distance / Time</em>

<em />

Speed = 10.6m/s

Distance = 14.5m

Time = T2

T2 = 1.3679s

3) The Total Time is

Total = T1 + T2

Total = 4.198s

A pyrotechnical releases a 3 kg firecracker from rest. at t=0.4 s, the firecracker is moving downward with a speed 4 m/s. At the
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

a) F = 30 N, b)   I = 12 N s , c)  I = -12 N s , d) ΔI = 0 N s

Explanation:

This exercise is a case at the moment, let's define the system formed by the firecracker and its two parts, in this case the forces during the explosion are internal and the moment is conserved

Initial, before the explosion

     p₀ = m v

The speed can be found by kinematics

     v = v₀ - g t

     v = 0 - 10 0.4

     v = -4.0 m / s

Final after division

     pf = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    p₀ = pf

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

Where M is the initial mass (M = 3 kg), m₁ is the mass mtop (m₁ = 1 kg) and m₂ in the mass m botton (m₂ = 2kg) and the piece that moves up (v₁f = 6m/s )

a) before the explosion the only force acting on the body is gravity

     F = mg

     F = 3 10 = 30 N

b) The expression for momentum is

     I = Ft

Before the explosion the only force that acts is the weight

    I = mg t

    I = 3 10 0.4

    I = 12 N s

c) To calculate this part we use the conservation of the moment and calculate the speed of the body that descends body 2

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    v₂f = (M v - m₁ v₁f) / m₂

    v₂f = (3 (-4) - 1 6) / 2

   v₂f = - 9 m / 2

The negative sign indicates that body 2 (botton) is descending

Now we can use the momentum and momentum relationship for the body during the explosion

    I = F t = Dp

   F t = pf –po)

   F t= [m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f]

   

   I = [1 6 + 2 (-9) -0]

   I = -12 N s

This is the impulse during the explosion the negative sign indicates that it is headed down

d) impulse change

I₀ = Mv

I₀ = 3 *4

I₀ =-12 N s

 ΔI =If – I₀  

ΔI = - 12 – (-12)

ΔI = -0 N s

The net force must be zero

This is in accordance to Newton's first law, which states that any object in motion will remain in motion and any object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An unbalanced force is one where the net force is not zero. If no unbalanced force is applied to a moving object, it will keep moving forever. The reason that we do not observe this in our daily lives is due to friction acting as the unbalanced force.

The energy photon affects which property of light
Triss [41]

Answer:

photoelectric effect

Explanation:

When the energy from photons is absorbed by matter, the matter can emit electrons. This process is called the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect is a property of light that is not explained by the theory that light is a wave.
