A boy uses a slingshot to launch a pebble straight up into the air. The pebble reaches a height of 37.0 m above the launch point

2.3 seconds later. Assume air resistance is negligible (a) What was the pebble's initial speed (just after leaving the slingshot)? m/s (b) How much time did it take for the pebble to first reach a height of 18.5 m above its launch point? s

Answer:

V0=27.4 m/s; t=0.8 s

Explanation:

Final position y=37.0 m, time = 2.3 s; Initial position is set to be zero. We calculate the initial speed with the kinematics equation:

y_f=v_0t-0.5*g*t^2 We solve for initial speed

v_0=\frac{y_f+0.5gt^2}{t}=\frac{37+4.9*2.3^2}{2.3}=27.4m/s

Now, using the same expression we estimated time to first reach 18.5 m :

18.5=27.4t-4.9t^2 Second order equation with solutions

t1=0.8 s and t2=4.8 s

The first time corresponds to the first reach.

A system had 150 kj of work done on it and its internal energy increased by 60 kj. How much energy did the system gain or lose a
mina [271]

Answer:

The system loses 90 kJ of heat

Explanation:

We can answer the question by using the 1st law of thermodynamics, which states that:

\Delta U=Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released by the system)

W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding on the system)

In this problem, we have:

W=-150 kJ is the work done (negative, because it is done by the surrounding on the system)

\Delta U=+60 kJ is the increase in internal energy

Using the equation above, we can find Q, the heat absorbed/released by the system:

Q=\Delta U+W=+60 kJ+(-150 kJ)=-90 kJ

And the negative sign means that the system has lost this heat.

"A steel rotating-beam test specimen has an ultimate strength of 120 kpsi. Estimate the life of the specimen if it is tested at
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

life (N) of the specimen is 117000  cycles

Explanation:

given data

ultimate strength Su = 120 kpsi

stress amplitude σa = 70 kpsi

solution

we first calculate the endurance limit of specimen Se i.e

Se = 0.5× Su   .............1

Se = 0.5 × 120

Se = 60 kpsi

and we know strength of friction f  = 0.82

and we take endurance limit Se is = 60 kpsi

so here coefficient value (a) will be

a = \frac{(f\times Su)^2}{Se}     ......................1  

put here value and we get

a = \frac{(0.82\times 120)^2}{60}  

a = 161.4  kpsi

so coefficient value (b) will be

b = -\frac{1}{3}log\frac{(f\times Su)}{Se}  

b =  -\frac{1}{3}log\frac{(0.82\times 120)}{60}  

b = −0.0716

so here number of cycle N will be  

N =  (\frac{ \sigma a}{a})^{1/b}

put here value  and we get

N =  (\frac{ 70}{161.4})^{1/-0.0716}

N = 117000

so life (N) of the specimen is 117000  cycles

The rocket's acceleration has components \(a_{x}(t)= \alpha t^{2}\) and \(a_{y}(t)= \beta - \gamma t\), where \(\alpha = 2.50 {\
lbvjy [14]
 it is just a matter of integration and using initial conditions since in general dv/dt = a it implies v = integral a dt 
v(t)_x = integral a_{x}(t) dt = alpha t^3/3 + c the integration constant c can be found out since we know v(t)_x at t =0 is v_{0x} so substitute this in the equation to get v(t)_x = alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} 
similarly v(t)_y = integral a_{y}(t) dt = integral beta - gamma t dt = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + c this constant c use at t = 0 v(t)_y = v_{0y} v(t)_y = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} 
so the velocity vector as a function of time vec{v}(t) in terms of components as[ alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} , beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} ] 
similarly you should integrate to find position vector since dr/dt = v r = integral of v dt 
r(t)_x = alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t + c let us assume the initial position vector is at origin so x and y initial position vector is zero and hence c = 0 in both cases 
r(t)_y = beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t + c here c = 0 since it is at 0 when t = 0 we assume 
r(t)_vec = [ r(t)_x , r(t)_y ] = [ alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t , beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t ]

what is the electric potential at point A in the electric field created by a point charge of 5.5 • 10^-12 C? estimate k as 9.00
Hitman42 [59]

The electric potential at point A in the electric field= 0.099 x 10 ⁻¹v

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given data,

charge = 5.5 x 10¹² C

k =9.00 x 10⁹

The electric potential V of a point charge can found by,

V= kQ / r

Assuming, r=5.00×10⁻² m

V= 5.5 x 10⁻¹²C x  9.00 x 10⁹ / 5.00×10⁻² m

V=  49.5 x 10⁻³/ 5.00×10⁻²

Electric potential V=  0.099 x 10⁻¹v
