Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It will take 0.018 sec to complete 1.87 m

Explanation:

We have given speed of the nerve impulse in the nervous system is 10.3 m/sec

Distance traveled by nerve impulse s = 1.87 m

We have to find the time taken by nerve impulse to complete this distance

We know that time is ratio of distance traveled and average speed

So time taken by nerve impulse to compete 1.87 m will be equal to

=\frac{1.87}{103}=0.018sec

So it will take 0.018 sec to complete 1.87 m

When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less dam
Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the heavier car m_1 = 1750 kg

Mass of the lighter car m_2 = 1350 kg

The speed of the lighter car just after collision can be represented as follows

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2}

v_2=\frac{(1850)(1.4)+(1450)(-1.10)-(1850)(0.250)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590+(-1595)-(462.5)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590-1595-462.5}{1450} \\\\=\frac{532.5}{1450}\\\\=0.367m/s

b) the change in the combined kinetic energy of the two-car system during this collision

\Delta K.E=(\frac{1}{2} m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v_2^2)-(\frac{1}{2} m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2u_2^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (m_1(v_1^2-u_1^2)+m_2(v_2^2-u_2^2))

substitute the value in the equation above

=\frac{1}{2} (1850((0.250)^2-(1.4)^2)+(1450((0.3670)^2-(-1.10)^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2}(11850(0.0625-1.96)+(1450(0.1347)-(1.21))\\\\= \frac{1}{2}(11850(-1.8975))+(1450(-1.0753))\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-3510.375+(-1559.185)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-5069.56)\\\\=-2534.78J

Hence, the change in combine kinetic energy is -2534.78J

A ball is dropped from a building taking 3sec to fall to the ground. Calculate:
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Vf = 29.4 m/s

h = 44.1 m

Explanation:

Data:

  • Initial Velocity (Vo) = 0 m/s
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) = 3 s
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = ?
  • Height (h) = ?

==================================================================

Final Velocity

Use formula:

  • Vf = g * t

Replace:

  • Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 3s

Multiply:

  • Vf = 29.4 m/s

==================================================================

Height

Use formula:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{g*(t)^{2}}{2}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(3s)^{2}}{2}}

Multiply time squared:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*9s^{2}}{2}}

Simplify the s², and multiply in the numerator:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{88.2m}{2}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{h=44.1\ m}

What is the velocity when falling to the ground?

The final velocity is <u>29.4 meters per seconds.</u>

How high is the building?

The height of the building is <u>44.1 meters.</u>

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

His launching angle was 14.72°

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a graphic representation of the problem.

In a parabolic movement, the velocity and displacement vectors are two-component vectors because the object moves along the horizontal and vertical axis.

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant, while the vertical component has a negative acceleration due to gravity. Then, the velocity can be written as follows:

v = (vx, vy)

where vx is the component of v in the horizontal and vy is the component of v in the vertical.

In terms of the launch angle, each component of the initial velocity can be written using the trigonometric rules of a right triangle (see attached figure):

sin angle = opposite / hypotenuse

cos angle = adjacent / hypotenuse

In our case, the side opposite the angle is the module of v0y and the side adjacent to the angle is the module of vx. The hypotenuse is the module of the initial velocity (v0). Then:

sin angle = v0y / v0  then: v0y = v0 * sin angle

In the same way for vx:

vx = v0 * cos angle

Using the equation for velocity in the x-axis we can find the equation for the horizontal position:

dx / dt = v0 * cos angle

dx = (v0 * cos angle) dt (integrating from initial position, x0, to position at time t and from t = 0 and t = t)

x - x0 = v0 t cos angle

x = x0 + v0 t cos angle

For the displacement in the y-axis, the velocity is not constant because the acceleration of the gravity:

dvy / dt = g ( separating variables and integrating from v0y and vy and from t = 0 and t)

vy -v0y = g t

vy = v0y + g t

vy = v0 * sin angle + g t

The position will be:

dy/dt = v0 * sin angle + g t

dy = v0 sin angle dt + g t dt (integrating from y = y0 and y and from t = 0 and t)

y = y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

The displacement vector at a time "t" will be:

r = (x0 + v0 t cos angle, y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²)

If the launching and landing positions are at the same height, then the displacement vector, when the object lands, will be (see figure)

r = (x0 + v0 t cos angle, 0)

The module of this vector will be the the total displacement (65 m)

module of r = \sqrt{(x0 + v0* t* cos angle)^{2} }  

65 m = x0 + v0 t cos angle ( x0 = 0)

65 m / v0 cos angle = t

Then, using the equation for the position in the y-axis:

y = y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

0 =  y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

replacing t =  65 m / v0 cos angle and y0 = 0

0 = 65m (v0 sin angle / v0 cos angle) + 1/2 g (65m / v0 cos angle)²  

cancelating v0:

0 = 65m (sin angle / cos angle) + 1/2 g * (65m)² / (v0² cos² angle)

-65m (sin angle / cos angle) = 1/2 g * (65m)² / (v0² cos² angle)  

using g = -9.8 m/s²

-(sin angle / cos angle) * (cos² angle) = -318.5 m²/ s² / v0²

sin angle * cos angle = 318.5 m²/ s² / (36 m/s)²

(using trigonometric identity: sin x cos x = sin (2x) / 2

sin (2* angle) /2 = 0.25

sin (2* angle) = 0.49

2 * angle = 29.44

<u>angle = 14.72°</u>
