Krakatau volcano ( Indonesia ) is well known for its catastrophic 1883 eruption. The result of this eruption was 36,000 deaths. This eruption has been assigned  a VEI ( Volcanic Explosivity Index ) of 6 ( or colossal ). VEI is a 0 to 8 index of increasing explosivity.  VEI of 6  means : a plume height over 25 km and a displacement volume : 10 to 100,000 km³. The total energy released during the eruption was equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT.
Answer: VEI of 6.

A cat falls from a tree (with zero initial velocity) at time t = 0. How far does the cat fall between t = 1 2 and t = 1 s? Use G
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

There is one mistake in the question.The Correct question is here

A cat falls from a tree (with zero initial velocity) at time t = 0. How far does the cat fall between t = 1/2 and t = 1 s? Use Galileo's formula v(t) = −9.8t m/s.

Answer:

y(1s) - y(1/2s) =  - 3.675 m  

The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.

Explanation:

Given data

time=1/2 sec to 1 sec

v(t)=-9.8t m/s

To find

Distance

Solution

As the acceleration as first derivative of velocity with respect to time  

So

acceleration(-g)=  dv/dt

Solve it

dv  =  a dt

dv =  -g dt

v - v₀  =  -gt

v=  dy/dt

dy  =  v dt

dy =  ( v₀ - gt ) dt

y(1s) - y(1/2s)  =  ( v₀ ) ( 1 - 1/2 ) - ( g/2 )[ ( t1)² -( t1/2s )² ]

y(1s) - y(1/2s)  = ( - 9.8/2 ) [ ( 1 )² - ( 1/2 )² ]

y1s - y1/2s  = ( - 4.9 m/s² ) ( 3/4 s² )

y(1s) - y(1/2s) =  - 3.675 m  

The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.

A ball is tossed vertically upward. When it reaches its highest point (before falling back downward) Group of answer choices the
nignag [31]

Answer:

the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward

Explanation:

Is this exercise in kinematics

          v = v₀ - g t

where g is the acceleration of the ball, which is created by the attraction of the ball to the Earth.

At the highest point

velocity must be zero.

The acceleration depends on the Earth therefore it is constant at this point and with a downward direction.

The force of the earth on the ball is towards the center of the Earth, that is, down

all other alternatives are wrong

Consider two sizes of disk, both of mass M. One size of disk has radius R; the other has radius 4R. System A consists of two of
Harman [31]

Answer:

4 smaller disks

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of smaller and larger disks = M

Radius of smaller disk = R

Radius of larger disk = 4R

Formula for moment of inertia about cylinder axis is:

I = ½MR²

Thus;

For small disk, I_small = ½MR²

For large disk, I_large = ½M(2R)² = 2MR²

We are told that moment of inertia of System A consists of two of the larger disks. Thus;

I_A = 2 × I_large = 2 × 2MR²

I_A = 4MR²

We are also told that System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks. Thus;

I_B = I_large + n(I_small)

Where n is the number of smaller disks.

I_B = 2MR² + n(½MR²)

I_B = MR²(2 + n/2)

We are told that the moment of inertia for system A equals the moment of inertia for system B. Thus;

I_A = I_B

So;

4MR² = MR²(2 + n/2)

MR² will cancel out to give;

4 = 2 + n/2

Multiply through by 2 to give;

8 = 4 + n

n = 8 - 4

n = 4

A boy is trying to roll a bowling ball up a hill, as shown in the image below. If
kherson [118]

The minimum initial velocity that the ball must have for it to reach the top of the hill is 21 m/s. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

The mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object at any instant of time.

M.E = KE +PE

A boy is trying to roll a bowling ball up a hill. The friction is ignored.  The ball must have to reach the top of the hill with a velocity. The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The conservation of energy principle states that total mechanical energy remains conserved in all situations where there is no external force acting on the system.

M.E bottom of hill = M.E on top of hill

Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Kinetic energy  + Potential energy

1/2 mu² + 0 =  0 + mgh

At the top of hill, the velocity will become zero. So, final kinetic energy is zero.

Substituting the values, we have

1/2 x u² = 9.8 x 22.5

u = sqrt [2 x9.8 x 22.5 ]

u= 21 m/s

Thus, the minimum initial velocity that the ball must have for it to reach the top of the hill is 21 m/s.
