Answer:29.627 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of life preserver(u) is 1.6 m/s

it takes 2.3 s to reach the water

using equation of motion

v=u+at

$v=1.6+9.81\times 2.3$

v=24.163 m/s

Let s be the height of life preserver

$v^2-u^2=2gs$

$24.163^2-1.6^2=2\times 9.81\times s$

$s=\frac{581.29}{2\times 9.81}$

s=29.627 m

With what velocity Must a 0.53 kg softball be moving to be equal to the momentum of a 0.31 kg baseball moving at 21 m/s

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:12.28m/s

Explanation:

momentum of baseball =mass of baseball x velocity of baseball

Momentum of baseball =0.31x21

Momentum of baseball =6.51kgm/s

For a softball to have same momentum with the baseball we can say :momentum of baseball =mass of softball x velocity of softball

6.51=0.53 x velocity of softball

Velocity of softball =6.51/0.53

Velocity of softball =12.28m/s

What is the efficiency (w/qh) of an ideal carnot heat engine operating between a hot region at t= 400 k and a cold one at t= 300

Vinvika [58]

The efficiency of an ideal Carnot heat engine can be written as:
$\eta = 1- \frac{T_{cold}}{T_{hot}}$
where
$T_{cold}$ is the temperature of the cold region
$T_{hot}$ is the temperature of the hot region

For the engine in our problem, we have $T_{cold}=300 K$ and $T_{hot}=400 K$ , so the efficiency is
$\eta= 1 - \frac{300 K}{400 K}=0.25$

A bobsled has a momentum of 3000 kg•m/s to the east. After the rider gives it a push, its momentum increases to 5500 kg•m/s to t

Archy [21]

Impulse, denoted as J, is defined by the change in momentum. Since we have our initial and our final, we can solve for the change in momentum.

$J = p_{f} - p_{0} = 5500 - 3000 = 2500

J = 2500 kg*m/s$

Two forces F1=20N and F2=30N are acting on an object as shown in figure: F1=20N F2=30N (i) Find the net force acting on the obje

Harman [31]

The net force is the 10N force and its direction is towards F2 force.

<h3>What is resultant force?</h3>

The resultant force or the net force is the actual force that acts on a body. We are told that the two forces act in opposite directions hence the net force is F2 - F1 = 30 N - 20 N = 10 N.

ii) The direction of this net force is going to be towards the 30N force.

iii) If the body does not move under the application of these forces then the F1 force must be reinforced by another force which balances it against the F2 force.

The main water line enters a house on the first floor. The line has a gauge pressure of 2.10 x 105 Pa. (a) A faucet on the secon

Eva8 [605]

To answer this question is necessary to apply the concepts related to Bernoulli's equation. The Bernoulli-related concept describes the behavior of a liquid moving along a streamline. Pressure can be defined as the proportional ratio between height, density and gravity:

$P = h\rho g$

Where,

h = Height

$\rho$ = Density

g = Gravity

Our values are

$\rho = 1000kg/m^3 \rightarow$ density of water at normal conditions

h = 7.3m

$g = 9.8m/s^2$

PART A) Replacing these values to find the total pressure difference we have to

$P_1 = h_1 \rho g$

$P_1 = (7.3)(1000)(9.8)$

$P_1 = 71540Pa$

In this way the pressure change would be subject to

$\Delta = P_2-P_1$

$\Delta = 2.1*10^5Pa- 0.7154*10^5Pa$

$\Delta = 138460Pa$

$\Delta = 0.135Mpa$

PART B) Considering the pressure gauge of the group as the ideal so that at a height H the water cannot flow even if it is open we have to,

$P_2 = H\rho g$

$2.1*10^5 = H (1000)(9.8)$

$H = 21.42m$

Therefore the high which could a faucet be before no water would flow from it is 21.42m
