Answer:

50.2 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the following SUVAT equation for the vertical position of the rock:

$y(t)=h+ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h is the initial height (the depth of the canyon), taking the bottom of the canyon as reference position

u = 0 is the initial velocity of the rock

t is the time

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

When the rock reaches the bottom, t = 3.2 s and y = 0. Substituting these numbers and solving for h, we find the depth of the canyon:

$h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = -\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(3.2)^2=50.2 m$

To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.50 kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm throug

Romashka [77]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:

$\tau = Fr$

Where,

F = Force

r = Radius

Replacing we have that,

$\tau = Fr$

$\tau = 21cm (\frac{1m}{100cm})* 550N$

$\tau = 11.55Nm$

The moment of inertia is given by 2.5kg of the weight in hand by the distance squared to the joint of the body of 24 cm, therefore

$I = 0.25Kg\cdot m^2 +(2.5kg)(0.24m)^2$

$I = 0.394kg\cdot m^2$

Finally, angular acceleration is a result of the expression of torque by inertia, therefore

$\tau = I\alpha \rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{11.55}{0.394}$

$\alpha = 29.3 rad/s^2$

PART B)

The work done is equivalent to the torque applied by the distance traveled by 60 °° in radians $(\pi / 3)$ , therefore

$W = \tau \theta$

$W = 11.5* \frac{\pi}{3}$

$W = 12.09J$

A mass of 1 slug, when attached to a spring, stretches it 2 feet and then comes to rest in the equilibrium position. Starting at

Vesna [10]

Answer:

$Y=(\dfrac{3}{16}+t \dfrac{3}{8})e^{-2t}-\dfrac{3}{16}cos 4t$

Explanation:

Given that m= 1 slug and given that spring stretches by 2 feet so we can find the spring constant K

mg=k x

1 x 32= k x 2

K=16

And also give that damping force is 8 times the velocity so damping constant C=8.

We know that equation for spring mass system

my''+Cy'+Ky=F

Now by putting the values

1 y"+8 y'+ 16y=6 cos 4 t ----(1)

The general solution of equation Y=CF+IP

Lets assume that at steady state the equation of y will be

y(IP)=A cos 4t+ B sin 4t

To find the constant A and B we have to compare this equation with equation 1.

Now find y' and y" (by differentiate with respect to t)

y'= -4A sin 4t+4B cos 4t

y"=-16A cos 4t-16B sin 4t

Now put the values of y" , y' and y in equation 1

1 (-16A cos 4t-16B sin 4t)+8( -4A sin 4t+4B cos 4t)+16(A cos 4t+ B sin 4t)=6sin4 t

So by comparing the coefficient both sides

-16A+32B+16A=0 So B=0

-16 B-32 A+16B=6 So A=-3/16

y=-3/16 cos 4t

Now to find the CF of differential equation 1

y"+8 y'+ 16y=6 cos 4 t

Homogeneous version of above equation

$m^2+8m+16=0$

So $CF =(C_1+tC_2)e^{-2t}$

So the general equation

$Y=(C_1+tC_2)e^{-2t}-3/16 cos 4t$

Given that t=0 Y=0 So

$C_1=\dfrac{3}{16}$

t=0 Y'=0 So

$C_2 =\dfrac{3}{8}$

$Y=(\dfrac{3}{16}+t \dfrac{3}{8})e^{-2t}-\dfrac{3}{16}cos 4t$

The above equation is the general equation for motion.

You plug a string of 100 lights in series into a 120 V power outlet, and each light has a resistance of 3.00 _. If each light ha

UNO [17]

V = IR

By completing the equation, i found that the total power equation is : 4.8,
Which means that it's not exceed the power rating.

So i believe the answer would be : The string will remain lit
