At noon, ship A is 50 nautical miles due west of ship B. Ship A is sailing west at 22 knots and ship B is sailing north at 23 kn

ots. How fast (in knots) is the distance between the ships changing at 3 PM? (Note: 1 knot is a speed of 1 nautical mile per hour.)

Answer:

30.66 knots

Explanation:

Distance of ship A from B at noon = 50 NM

\frac{da}{dt} = Velocity of ship A = 22 knots = 22 NM/h

\frac{db}{dt} = Velocity of ship B = 23 knots = 23 NM/h

Distance travelled by ship A from noon to 3 PM = 22×3 = 66 NM

a = Total distance travelled by ship A = 50+66 = 116 NM

b = Total distance travelled by ship B till 3 PM = 23×3 = 69 NM

c = Distance between Ship A and B at 3 PM = √(116²+69²) = 134.97 NM

a²+b² = c²            (Pythagoras theorem)

Now differentiating with respect to time

2a\frac{da}{dt}+2b\frac{db}{dt}=2c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow a\frac{da}{dt}+b\frac{db}{dt}=c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \frac{116\times 22+69\times 23}{134.97}=\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=30.66\ NM/h

∴ The velocity with which the distance is changing at 3 PM (3 hours later) is 30.66 knots

A 0.25-m string, vibrating in its sixth harmonic, excites a 0.96-m pipe that is open at both ends into its second overtone reson
Andrews [41]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

length of the pipe, L = 0.96 m

Speed of sound,v = 345 m/s

Resonating frequency when both the end is open

f = \dfrac{nv}{2L}

n is the Harmonic number

2nd overtone = 3rd harmonic

so, here n = 3

now,

f = \dfrac{3\times 345}{2\times 0.96}

f = 540 Hz

The common resonant frequency of the string and the pipe is closest to 540 Hz.

the correct answer is option D

A soccer ball is kicked from the top of one building with a height of H1 = 30.2 m to another building with a height of H2 = 12.0
viktelen [127]

Hi there!

Initially, we have gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. If we set the zero-line at H2 (12.0m), then the ball at the second building only has kinetic energy.

We also know there was work done on the ball by air resistance that decreased the ball's total energy.

Let's do a summation using the equations:
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\\\PE = mgh

Our initial energy consists of both kinetic and potential energy (relative to the final height of the ball)

E_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2)

Our final energy, since we set the zero-line to be at H2, is just kinetic energy.

E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

And:
W_A = E_i - E_f

The work done by air resistance is equal to the difference between the initial energy and the final energy of the soccer ball.

Therefore:
W_A = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2) -  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

Solving for the work done by air resistance:
W_A = \frac{1}{2}(.450)(15.1^2)+ (.450)(9.8)(30.2 - 12) -  \frac{1}{2}(.450)(19.89^2)

W_A = \boxed{42.552 J}
