In Example 2.12, two circus performers rehearse a trick in which a ball and a dart collide. Horatio stands on a platform 6.4 m a

bove the ground and drops a ball straight down. At the same moment, Amelia uses a spring-loaded device on the ground to launch a dart straight up toward the ball. The dart is launched at 16.2 m/s. Find the time and height of the collision by simultaneously solving the equations for the ball and the dart. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

Answer:

time of collision is

t = 0.395 s

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

Explanation:

initial speed of the ball when it is dropped down is

v_1 = 0

similarly initial speed of the object which is projected by spring is given as

v_2 = 16.2 m/s

now relative velocity of object with respect to ball

v_r = 16.2 m/s

now since we know that both are moving under gravity so their relative acceleration is ZERO and the relative distance between them is 6.4 m

d = v_r t

6.4 = 16.2 t

t = 0.395 m

Now the height attained by the object in the same time is given as

h = v_2 t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = 16.2(0.395) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81).395^2

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

A(n) 10.1 g bullet is fired into a(n) 2.41 kg ballistic pendulum and becomes embedded in it. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8
fomenos

Answer:

v = 186.90\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The motion of ballistic pendulum is modelled by the appropriate use of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{p}+m_{b})\cdot v^{2} = (m_{p}+m_{b})\cdot g \cdot h

The final velocity of the system formed by the ballistic pendulum and the bullet is:

v = \sqrt{2\cdot g\cdot h}

v = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (0.031\,m)}

v\approx 0.78\,\frac{m}{s}

Initial velocity of the bullet can be calculated from the expression derived of the Principle of Momentum:

(0.0101\,kg)\cdot v = (2.41\,kg + 0.0101\,kg)\cdot (0.78\,\frac{m}{s} )

v = 186.90\,\frac{m}{s}

Help me please I can't get the final step​
inna [77]

Answer:

\displaystyle m=\frac{2}{3},\ n=\frac{4}{3}

Explanation:

<u>Dimensional Analysis</u>

It's given the relation between quantities A, B, and C as follows:

\displaystyle A=\frac{3}{2}B^mC^n

and the dimensions of each variable is:

A=L^2T^2

B=LT^{-1}

C=LT^2

Substituting the dimensions into the relation (the coefficient is not important in dimension analysis):

\displaystyle L^2T^2=\left(LT^{-1}\right)^m\left(LT^2\right)^n

Operating:

L^2T^2=\left(L^mT^{-m}\right)\left(L^nT^{2n}\right)

L^2T^2=L^{m+m}T^{-m+2n}

Equating the exponents:

m+n=2

-m+2n=2

Adding both equations:

3n=4

Solving:

n=4/3

m=2-4/3=2/3

Answer:

\mathbf{\displaystyle m=\frac{2}{3},\ n=\frac{4}{3}}

Alternative sources of energy include : geothermal
baherus [9]

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The correct answer is option E (All of the above)

All the options are alternative source of energy.

The option given are not the traditional way (energy production from coal) of extracting energy as the loss of natural resources does not take place in these source of energy.

energy extracted from wind,  solar light , hydrogen ,etc are the source of energy  the alternative source of production of energy because do not exploit the natural resources, reduce the carbon emission and energy produced by them is clean energy.
