The Jensens dccided to spend their family vaeation white water rafting. During one segment of their trip down the river, the raf

t (total mass = 544 kg) has an initial speed of 6.75 m/s. The raft then drops a vertical distance of 14.0 m, ending with a final speed of 15.2 m/s. How much work was done on the raft by nonconservative forces?

Answer:

24,187.04 J ≈ 24,200 J

Explanation:

mass (m) = 544 kg

initial speed (u) = 6.75 m/s

final speed (v) = 15.2 m/s

change in height (Δh) = -14 m (negative sign is because there is a decrease in height )

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

How much work was done on the raft by non conservative forces?

work done = change in energy of the system = change in kinetic energy + change in potential energy

work done = (0.5m(v^{2} -u^{2} )) + (mgΔh)

work done = (0.5x544x(15.2^{2} -6.75^{2} )) + (544 x 9.8 x (-14))

work done = 50449.76 - 74,636.8

work done = 24,187.04 J ≈ 24,200 J

The average coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 1.7 10-5 (°c)−1. the statue of liberty is 93 m tall on a summer morning
sammy [17]

Let the rise in temperature be 5^0C

The expansion in length due to change in temperature is given by the expression lαΔt , where l is the length, α is the  coefficient of linear expansion, Δt is the change in temperature.

Here l = 93 m, α = 1.7*10^{-5}  ^0C^{-1}, and Δt = 5^0C

So expansion in length = 93*1.7*10^{-5}*5 = 0.007905 m = 0.79*10^{-3}m

So order of magnitude in change in length = -3

A research group at Dartmouth College has developed a Head Impact Telemetry (HIT) System that can be used to collect data about
Olin [163]

Answer:

6.05 cm

Explanation:

The given equation is

2 aₓ(x-x₀)=( Vₓ²-V₀ₓ²)

The initial head velocity V₀ₓ =11 m/s

The final head velocity  Vₓ is 0

The accelerationis given by =1000 m/s²

the stopping distance = x-x₀=?

So we can wind the stopping distance by following formula

2 (-1000)(x-x₀)=[0^{2} -11^{2}]

x-x₀=6.05*10^{-2} m

       =6.05 cm
