(a)
The total mechanical energy of the projectile at the beginning is the sum of the initial kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U):
The initial kinetic energy is:
where m = 58.0 kg is the mass of the projectile and is the initial speed. Substituting,
The initial potential energy is given by
where g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and h=132 m is the height of the cliff. Substituting,
So, the initial mechanical energy is
(b)
We need to calculate the total mechanical energy of the projectile when it reaches its maximum height of y=336 m, where it is travelling at a speed of v=99.2 m/s.
The kinetic energy is
while the potential energy is
So, the mechanical energy is
And the work done by friction is equal to the difference between the initial mechanical energy of the projectile, and the new mechanical energy:
And the work is negative because air friction is opposite to the direction of motion of the projectile.
(c) 88.1 m/s
The work done by air friction when the projectile goes down is one and a half times (which means 1.5 times) the work done when it is going up, so:
When the projectile hits the ground, its potential energy is zero, because the heigth is zero: h=0, U=0. So, the projectile has only kinetic energy:
E = K
The final mechanical energy of the projectile will be the mechanical energy at the point of maximum height plus the work done by friction:
And this is only kinetic energy:
So, we can solve to find the final speed:
Answer:
(a) There are 3.17 times more shakes in a second than seconds in a year.
(b) Humans have existed for 9067.72 universe seconds.
Explanation:
(a) First we calcule how many seconds are in a year. One year have 365 days, one day has 24 hours, one hour has 60 minutes and one minute has 60 seconds, so:
Now, we calculate how many shakes are in a second:
Finally, we calculate how many more shakes in a second are there than seconds in a year:
(b) Using a simple rule of three we can calculate how many "universe seconds" have humans existed, recall that 1 day has 86400 seconds:
1010 years--------->86400s
106 years----------> x seconds
