A gymnast is swinging on a high bar. The distance between his waist and the bar is 0.905 m, as the drawing shows. At the top of

the swing his speed is momentarily zero. Ignoring friction and treating the gymnast as if all of his mass is located at his waist, find his speed at the bottom of the swing.

Answer:

5.959 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of gymnast

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

h_i = Initial height

h_f = Final height

From conservation of Energy

\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh_f=\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mg0=\frac{1}{2}m0^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh_i\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh_i}

h_i=2r

v=\sqrt{4gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{4\times 9.81\times 0.905}\\\Rightarrow v=5.959\ m/s

Velocity of gymnast at bottom of swing is 5.959 m/s

Find the current flowing out of the battery.​
klemol [59]

Answer:

0.36 A.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance between 35 Ω and 20 Ω resistor. This is illustrated below:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 35 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 20 Ω

Equivalent Resistance (Rₑq) =?

Since, the two resistors are in parallel connections, their equivalence can be obtained as follow:

Rₑq = (R₁ × R₂) / (R₁ + R₂)

Rₑq = (35 × 20) / (35 + 20)

Rₑq = 700 / 55

Rₑq = 12.73 Ω

Next, we shall determine the total resistance in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Equivalent resistance between 35 Ω and 20 Ω (Rₑq) = 12.73 Ω

Resistor 3 (R₃) = 15 Ω

Total resistance (R) in the circuit =?

R = Rₑq + R₃ (they are in series connection)

R = 12.73 + 15

R = 27.73 Ω

Finally, we shall determine the current. This can be obtained as follow:

Total resistance (R) = 27.73 Ω

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

10 = I × 27.73

Divide both side by 27.73

I = 10 / 27.73

I = 0.36 A

Therefore, the current is 0.36 A.

How much time will elapse between seeing and hearing an event?
julia-pushkina [17]

Depends on how far away the event is and what the temperature is as this affects the speed of sound.

For example, let's say you're 600 meters away and the temperature has no affect.

The speed of sound would be roughly 340 m/s so the time it would take to hear the sound would be 600/340 = 1.76 seconds

The speed of light (c) is 3.0 X 10^8 m/s so the time it would take to see the event would be 600/3 X 10^8 = 2 X 10^-7

Subtract: 1.76 - (2 X 10^-7) = approx. 1.76

Which of these would best describe the outcome of increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules in the above picture?
Lyrx [107]

A) The temperature will increase.

Kinetic energy is the intrinsic energy carried by an object in motion.

Explanation:

Increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules means that molecules rapidly. This causes an increased rate of collision between the molecules and between the molecules and the walls of the container. Most of these collisions are inelastic meaning that some of the energy in the collisions is lost as heat energy to the environment. This means the system becomes hotter.

A wave has a wavelength of 8 mm and a frequency of 11 hertz. What is its speed? Your Answer:?
wolverine [178]

To find wave speed, you multiply the wavelength by the frequency. This means it is 8 times 11. This gives you 88. That means the answer is 88mm/s
