There's a short handy formula for that.

If the object is just dropped and not tossed, and it's not affected by air resistance on the way down, then the distance it falls in T seconds is

D = (1/2) (gravity) (T²)

For this problem . . .

176.4 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (T²)

Divide each side by (4.9 m/s²) :

T² = (176.4 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

T² = (36 s²)

Take the square root of each side:

<em>T = 6 seconds</em>

Answer:

the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

Explanation:

Given that;

weight of vehicle = 4000 lbs

we know that 1 kg = 2.20462

m = 4000 / 2.20462 = 1814.37 kg

Initial velocity $V_{i}$ = 60 mph = 26.8224 m/s

Final velocity $V_{f}$ = 30 mph = 13.4112 m/s

now we determine change in kinetic energy

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ m( $V_{i}$ ² - $V_{f}$ ² )

we substitute

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ ×1814.37( (26.8224)² - (13.4112)² )

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 1814.37 × 539.5808

Δk = 489500 Joules

we know that; 1 kilowatt hour = 3.6 × 10⁶ Joule

Δk = 489500 / 3.6 × 10⁶

Δk = 0.13597 ≈ 0.136 kWh

Therefore, the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

Nitella [24]

By Kirchoff's law in left side loop

$E_1 + E_2 = {r_1 + R_1 + R_4)I_1 + (R_2 + r_2) I_3$

similarly kirchoff's law in right side loop

$E_3 - E_4 - E_2 = (r_3 + r_4 + R_3)I_2 - (R_2 + r_2)I_3$

also by junction law we know that

$I_1 = I_2 + I_3$

now by plug in all values we have

$18 + 3 = (0.5 + 8 + 15)I_1 + (10 + 0.25)I_3$

$21 = 23.5I_1 + 10.25I_3$

$12 - 24 - 3 = (0.75 + 0.25 + 12)I_2 - (10+ 0.25)I_3$

$-15 = 13I_2 - 10.25I_3$

So by solving above equations we have

$I_1 = 0.492 A$

$I_2 = -0.428 A$

$I_3 = 0.920 A$
