Dejamos caer un objeto desde lo alto de una torre y medimos el tiempo que tarda en llegar al suelo que resulta ser de 0,02 minut

Harman [31]

Answer: a) 11.76 m/s b) 7.056 m

Explanation:

The described situation is as follows:

An object is dropped from the top of a tower and when measuring the time it takes to reach the ground that turns out to be 0.02 minutes.

This situation is related to free fall, this also means we have constant acceleration, hence the equations we will use are:

$V_{f}=V_{o}+at$ (1)

${V_{f}}^{2}={V_{o}}^{2}+2ad$ (2)

Where:

$V_{f}$ Is the final velocity of the object

$V_{o}=0$ Is the initial velocity of the object (it was dropped)

$a=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

$d$ is the height of the tower

$t=0.02min=1.2 s$ is the time it takes to the object to reach the ground

b) Begining with (1):

$V_{f}=0+at$ (3)

$V_{f}=at=(9.8 m/s^{2})(1.2 s)$ (4)

$V_{f}=11.76 m/s$ (5) This is the final velocity of the object

a) Substituting (5) in (2):

$(11.76 m/s)^{2}=0+2(9.8 m/s^{2})d$ (6)

Clearing $d$ :

$d=\frac{(11.76 m/s)^{2}}{2(9.8 m/s^{2})}$ (7)

$d=7.056 m$ (8) This is the height of the tower

A 1500 kg truck is acted upon by a force that decreases its speed from 25 m/s to 15 m/s in 8 s. What is the magnitude of the for

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

F = 1,875 N

Explanation:

force=

$\frac{change \: in \: momentum}{time \: taken}$

∆H = m∆V

where ∆H ----> change in momentum.

( final momentum - initial momentum )

and ∆V ----> change in velocity

( final velocity - initial velocity )

and m ----> is mass

then f =

$\frac{1500 \times (25 - 15)}{8}$

= 1,875 N

A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 3.75 m/s. If the roof is pitched at

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

a) t = 0.528 s

b) D = 1.62 m

Explanation:

given,

speed of the baseball = 3.75 m/s

angle made with the horizontal = 35°

height of the roof edge = 2.5 m

using equation of motion

$s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$2.5 = vsin\theta \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$2.5 = 3.75\ sin35^0 \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 t^2$

4.9 t² + 2.15 t - 2.5 = 0

on solving the above equation

t = 0.528 s

b) D = v cos θ × t

D = 3.75 × cos 35° ×0.528

D = 1.62 m

147.5 ml of ethyl alcohol (coefficient of volume expansion = 1120 x 10-6K-1) at a temperature of 273.1 K is measured into a 150.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

288.2 K

Explanation:

$\beta$ = Volumetric expansion coefficient = $1120\times 10^{-6}\ /K$

$T_i$ = Initial temperature = 273.1 K

$T_f$ = Final temperature

$v_0$ = Original volume = 150 mL

Change in volume is given by

$\Delta v=\beta v_0(T_f-T_i)\\\Rightarrow T_f=\frac{\Delta v}{\beta v_0}+T_i\\\Rightarrow T_f=\frac{150-147.5}{1120\times 10^{-6}\times 147.5}+273.1\\\Rightarrow T_f=288.2\ K$

The temperature of the ethyl alcohol should be 288.2 K to reach 150 mL
