For years, the tallest tower in the United States was the Phoenix Shot Tower in Baltimore, Maryland. The shot tower was used fro

m 1828 to1892 to make lead shot for pistols and rifles and molded shot for cannons and other instruments of warfare. Molten lead was dropped from the top of the 82.15 m tall tower into a vat of water. During its free fall, the lead would form a perfectly spherical droplet and solidify. Determine the velocity of the droplet right before it hits the ground.

Answer:

The velocity of the droplet right before it hits the ground is 40.08 m/s.

Explanation:

To determine the velocity of the droplet right before it hits the ground,

From one of the equations of kinematic for free fall motions,

v = u + gt

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is acceleration due to gravity (take g = 9.8 m/s²)

and t is time

For the question, v is the velocity of the droplet right before it hits the ground.

u = 0 m/s (Since the molten lead was dropped from rest)

Therefore,

v = gt

First, we will determine the time t

Also, from one of the equations of kinematic for free fall motions,

h = ut + 1/2(gt²)

u = 0 m/s

From the question, the molten lead was dropped from the top of the 82.15 m tall tower, therefore

h = 82.15

Hence,

82.15 = 0×t + 1/2 (9.8 × t²)

82.15 = 1/2 (9.8 × t²)

82.15 = 4.9 t²

t² = 82.15/4.9

∴ t = 4.09 secs

Now, for the velocity v, of the droplet right before it hits the ground,

Recall

v = gt

Then,

v = 9.8 × 4.09

v = 40.08 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the droplet right before it hits the ground is 40.08 m/s.

What will a spring scale read for the weight of a 75.0-kg woman in an elevator that moves upward with constant speed of 5.8 m/s
Sholpan [36]
<span>On the scale the only external forces are the man's weight acting downwards and the normal force which the scale exerts back to support his weight. So F = Ma = mg + Fs The normal force Fs (which is actually the reading on the scale) = Ma + Mg But a = 0 So Fs = Mg which is just his weight. Fs = 75 * 9.8 = 735N</span>

What is inertia?by Walter Levin..<br>​
Tom [10]

Inertia is directly proportional to mass.

What is Walter Lewin famous for?

Walter Hendrik Gustav Lewin (born January 29, 1936) is a Dutch astrophysicist and former professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Lewin earned his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1965 at the Delft University of Technology and was a member of MIT's physics faculty for 43 years beginning in 1966 until his retirement in 2009.

According to Walter Levin,

The concept of moment of inertia is demonstrated by rolling a series of cylinders down an inclined plane.

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed when no forces act upon them.

By rolling a series of cylinders down on an inclined plane , he demonstrated that a cylinder have a smooth friction.

He compares the rolling cylinder by using hollow cylinder and a heavy cylinder , and finalize the result that a hollow cylinder moves slowly but the heavy cylinder move faster.

Hence , By doing this experiment he explained about the inertia that Inertia depend on the mass of the object. As the heavy the object it will take more time to travel or move.
