Kinetic energy E = m * v^2 

<span>Since the acceleration of both books will be -neglecting air resistance - the same, the kinetic energy will be directly proportional to the mass of the book.</span>

An irrigation canal has a rectangular cross section. At one point whare the canal is 16.0 m wide, and the water is 3.8 m deep, t
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

At one point

Wide= 16.0 m

Deep = 3.8 m

Water flow = 2.8 cm/s

At a second point downstream

Width of canal = 16.5 m

Water flow = 11.0 cm/s

We need to calculate the depth

Using Bernoulli theorem

A_{1}V_{1}=A_{2}V_{2}

Put the value into the formula

16.0\times3.8\times2.8=16.5\times x\times 11.0

x=\dfrac{16.0\times3.8\times2.8}{16.5\times11.0}

x=0.938\ m

Hence,  The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

A person standing a certain distance from four identical loudspeakers is hearing a sound level intensity of 125 dB. What sound l
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

\mathbf{\beta = 123.75 \ dB}

Explanation:

From the question, using the expression:

125 \ dB = 10 \ log (\dfrac{I}{I_o})

where;

I_o = 10^{-12} \ W/m^2

I = 10^{12.5} \times 10^{-12} \ W/m^2

I = 3.162 \ W/m^2

This is a combined intensity of 4 speakers.

Thus, the intensity of 3 speakers = \dfrac{3.162\times 3}{4}

= 2.372 W/m²

Thus;

\beta = 10 \  log ( \dfrac{2.372}{10^{-12}} ) \ W/m^2

\mathbf{\beta = 123.75 \ dB}

In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. the height of the counter is 1.15 m. the mug
yarga [219]

<span>A.    </span>Let’s say the horizontal component of the velocity is vx and the vertical is vy. <span>
Initially at t=0 (as the mug leaves the counter) the components are v0x and v0y. 
<span>v0y = 0 since the customer slides it horizontally so applied force is in the x component only.

<span>The equations for horizontal and vertical projectile motion are:
x = x0 + v0x t 
y = y0 + v0y t - 1/2 g t^2 = y0 - 1/2 g t^2 </span></span></span>

Setting the origin to be the end corner of the counter so that x0=0 and y0=0, hence:

x = v0x t

y = - 1/2 g t^2 

Given value are: x=1.50m and y=-1.15m (y is negative since mug is going down)

<span>1.50m = v0x t    ---->  v0x= 1.50/t</span>

<span>-1.15m = -(1/2) (9.81) t^2    -----> t =0.4842 s</span>

Calculating for v0x:

v0x = 3.10 m/s

<span>B.    </span>v0x is constant since there are no other horizontal forces so, v0x=vx=3.10m/s

vy can be calculated from the formula:

<span>vy = v0y + at         where a=-g (negative since going down)</span>

vy = -gt = -9.81 (0.4842)

vy = -4.75 m/s

 

Now to get the angle below the horizontal, tan(90-Ø) = -vx/vy

tan(90-Ø )= 3.1/4.75

Ø = 56.87˚<span> below the horizontal</span>
