Answer:

v_f=20.52\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

In this case the rock is under an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, we use the kinematic equation that relates the final speed of an object with its initial speed, its acceleration and its traveled distance.

v_f^2=v_0^2+2a\Delta y\\v_f^2=v_0^2+2a(y_2-y_1)\\v_f^2=(15\frac{m}{s})^2+2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(20m-10m)\\v_f=\sqrt{421\frac{m^2}{s^2}}\\v_f=20.52\frac{m}{s}

<h2>Answer:</h2>

20.62m/s

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Using one of the equations of motion given by;

v² = u² + 2as     -------------------------(i)

where;

v = final velocity of the object (rock)

u = initial velocity of the object (rock) = 15m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity of the rock = g = +10m/s² (since the direction of the rock is downwards in the direction of gravity towards the flying bird).

s = distance traveled by the rock.

Notice that the rock is thrown from a 20m height to hit a bird flying at an altitude of 10m. This means that the distance (s) travelled by the rock is;

20m - 10m = 10m

Substituting the values of u, a and s into equation (i) gives;

v² = 15² + (2 x 10 x 10)

v² = 225 + 200

v² = 425

v = √425

v = 20.62m/s

Therefore the speed of the rock when it makes contact with the bird is 20.62m/s

The specification limits for a product are 8 cm and 10 cm. A process that produces the product has a mean of 9.5 cm and a standa
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The value of Cpk is 0.83.

Explanation:

Given that,

Upper specification limits = 10 cm

lower specification limits = 8 cm

Mean = 9.5

Standard deviation = 0.2 cm

We need to calculate the process capability

Using formula of Cpk

Cpk=min(\dfrac{USL-mean}{3\times SD}, \dfrac{mean-LSL}{3\times SD})

Put the value into the formula

Cpk=min(\dfrac{10-9.5}{3\times0.2}, \dfrac{9.5-8}{3\times0.2})

Cpk=min(0.83,2.5)

Cpk=0.83

Hence, The value of Cpk is 0.83.

What is the frequency of a clock waveform whose period is 750 microseconds?
Allushta [10]
Use this formula to find your answer...

Determine the frequency of a clock waveform whose period is 2us or (micro) and 0.75ms

frequency (f)=1/( Time period).

Frequency of 2 us clock =1/2*10^-6 =10^6/2 =500000Hz =500 kHz.

Frequency of 0..75ms clock =1/0.75*10^-3 =10^3/0.75 =1333.33Hz =1.33kHz.

A cue ball, moving with 9.0 N·s of momentum strikes the nine-ball at rest. The nine-ball moves off with 2.0 N·s in the original
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

P = 7.28 N.s

Explanation:

given,

initial momentum of cue ball in x- direction,P₁ = 9 N.s

momentum of nine ball in  x-  direction, P₂ = 2 N.s

momentum in perpendicular direction i.e. y - direction,P'₂ = 2 N.s

momentum of the cue after collision = ?

using conservation of momentum

in x- direction

P₁ + p = x  + P₂

p is the initial momentum of the nine balls which is equal to zero.

9 + 0  = x  + 2

x = 7 N.s

momentum in x-direction.

equating along y-direction

P'₁ + p = y + P'₂

0 + 0 = y + 2

y = -2 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to resultant of the momentum .

P = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

P = \sqrt{7^2+(-2)^2}

      P = 7.28 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to P = 7.28 N.s
