1.a bag is dropped from a hovering helicopter. the bag has fallen for 2 s. what is the ball's velocity at the instant its hittin

g the ground? what was the height of the helicopter? if the bag was dropped from a helicopter descending at the speed of 2 m/s what is the time of the bag fall and its velocity near the ground?

1. The bag's velocity immediately before hitting the ground.

Recall this kinematics equation:

Vf = Vi + aΔt

Vf is the final velocity, Vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and Δt is the time elapsed.

Given values:

Vi = 0m/s (you assume this because the bag is dropped, so it falls starting from rest)

a is 9.81m/s² (this is the near-constant acceleration of objects near the surface of the earth)

Δt = 2s

Plug in the values and solve for Vf:

Vf = 0 + 9.81×2

Vf = 19.62m/s

2. The height of the helicopter.

Recall this other kinematics equation:

d = ViΔt + 0.5aΔt²

d is the distance traveled by the object, Vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and Δt is the time elapsed.

Given values:

Vi = 0m/s (bag is dropped starting from rest)

a = 9.81m/s² (acceleration due to gravity of the earth)

Δt = 2s

Plug in the values and solve for d:

d = 0×2 + 0.5×9.81×2²

d = 19.62m

3. Time of the bag's fall and its velocity immediately before hitting the ground... if it started falling at 2m/s

Reuse the equation from question 2:

d = ViΔt + 0.5aΔt²

Given values:

d = 19.6m (height of the helicopter obtained from question 2)

Vi = 2m/s

a = 9.81m/s² (acceleration due to earth's gravity)

Plug in the values and solve for Δt:

19.6 = 2Δt + 0.5×9.81Δt²

4.91Δt² + 2Δt - 19.6 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to get values of Δt (a quick Google search will give you the formula and how to use it to solve for unknown values):

Δt = 1.8s, Δt = −2.2s

The formula gives us 2 possible answers for Δt but within the situation of our problem, only the positive value makes sense. Reject the negative value.

Δt = 1.8s

Now we can use this new value of Δt to get the velocity before hitting the ground:

Vf = Vi + aΔt

Given values:

Vi = 2m/s

a = 9.81m/s²

Δt = 1.8s (result from previous question)

Plug in the values and solve for Vf:

Vf = 2 + 9.81×1.8

Vf = 19.66m/s

An intravenous (IV) system is supplying saline solution to a patient at the rate of 0.06 cm3/s through a needle of radius 0.2 mm
horsena [70]

Answer:

Pressure applied to the needle is 7528 Pa

Explanation:

As we know by poiseuille's law of flow of liquid through a cylindrical pipe

the rate of flow through the pipe is given as

Q = \frac{\Delta P \pi r^4}{8\eta L}

now we know that

Q = 0.06 \times 10^{-6} m^3/s

radius = 0.2 mm

Length = 6.32 cm

\eta = 1\times 10^{-3} Pa s

now we have

6 \times 10^{-8} = \frac{\Delta P \pi (0.2 \times 10^{-3})^4}{8(1 \times 10^{-3})6.32 \times 10^{-2}}

3.03 \times 10^{-11} = \Delta P 5.02 \times 10^{-15}

\Delta P = 6028 Pa

now we have

P - 1500 = 6028 Pa

P = 7528 Pa

Find the wavelength λ of the 80.0-khz wave emitted by the bat. express your answer in millimeters.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

4.29 millimeters

Explanation:

Bats emit ultrasound waves: in air, ultrasound waves travel at a speed of

v=343 m/s

The frequency of the waves emitted by this bat is:

f=80.0 kHz = 80,000 Hz

Therefore we can find the wavelength of the wave emitted by the bat by using the relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343 m/s}{80,000 Hz}=4.29\cdot 10^{-3} m=4.29 mm

An ambulance is traveling north at 55.9 m/s, approaching a car that is also traveling north at 28.4 m/s. The ambulance driver he
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

915 Hz

Explanation:

The observed frequency from a sound source is given as

f₀ = f [(v + v₀)/(v+vₛ)]

where

f₀ = observed frequency of the sound by the observer = ?

f = actual frequency of the sound wave = 983 Hz

v = actual velocity of the sound waves = 343 m/s

vₛ = velocity of the source of the sound waves = 55.9 m/s

v₀ = velocity of the observer = 28.4 m/s

f₀ = 983 [(343+28.4)/(343+55.9)]

f₀ = 915.2 Hz = 915 Hz
