To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. We will calculate the initial velocity of the object, and from it, we will calculate the final position. With the considerations made in the statement we will obtain the total height. Initial velocity of the acorn,

Also, it is given that the acorn takes 0.201s to pass the length of the meter stick.

Replacing,


The height of the acorn above the meter stick can be calculated as,




Also the top of the meter stick is 1.87m above the ground hence the height of the acorn above the ground is


Answer:
The system's Mean Time to Failure is 1,041.
hours
Explanation:
The number of independent identical motors = 4
The failure rate of each motor, λ = 0.002 failures per hour
Given that in order for the system to work, at least one of the motors must operate, therefore, the system are in parallel
The Mean Time to Failure for a parallel system of four identical components is given as follows;

Which gives;

The system's Mean Time to Failure = 1,041.
hours.
We know that:
Solving for Distance:
- Distance = Work / Force
- Distance = 1220 J / 280 N
<h3> Distance = 4.36 m </h3>
