A cylindrical metal can is to have no lid. It is to have a volume of 125π in3. What height minimizes the amount of metal used?

Physics
1 answer:
Alex Ar [27]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Minimum height of metal = 5 inches

Explanation:

Volume of the cylindrical metal = πR²H = 125π

cancelling out π on both sides

R²H = 125

Hence it can be deduced that R² = 25 and H = 5

Hence minimum height of metal = 5 inches

A person hits a tennis ball with a mass of 0.058 kg against a wall.
horrorfan [7]

Explanation:

Mass of the ball, m = 0.058 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 11 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -11 m/s (negative as it rebounds)

Time, t = 2.1 s

(a) Let F is the average force exerted on the wall. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}

F=\dfrac{0.058\times (11-(-11))}{2.1}

F = 0.607 N

(b) Area of wall, A=3\ m^2

Let P is the average pressure on that area. It is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P=\dfrac{0.607\ N}{3\ m^2}

P = 0.202 Pa

Hence, this is the required solution.

Lukalu is rappelling off a cliff. The parametric equations that describe her horizontal and vertical position as a function of t
andre [41]

Answer:

2.5 s, 5 m

Explanation:

The equations for the horizontal and vertical position of Lukalu are:

x(t) = 8t\\y(t) = -16t^2 + 100

we can find the time it takes her to reach the ground by requiring that the vertical position becomes zero:

y(t) = 0

So we find:

0=-16t^2 +100\\16t^2 = 100\\t=\sqrt{\frac{100}{16}}=2.5 s

The horizontal distance of Lukalu instead will be given by the equation for the horizontal position, substituting t = 2.5 s:

x=8t = 8 \cdot 2.5 s =5 m

A driver in a car traveling at a speed of 50 mi/h sees a deer 50 m away on the road. Calculate the minimum constant acceleration
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a= - 0.79 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Speed ,u = 20 mi/h

We know that

1 mi/h= 0.44 m/s

Therefore ,u = 8.94 m/s

Distance ,s= 50 m

Lets take the acceleration of the car = a m/s²

The final speed of the car ,v = 0 m/s

We know that

v²= u² + 2 a s

Now by putting the values

0²= 8.94² + 2 x a x 50

a=-\dfrac{8.94^2}{2\times 50}\ m/s^2

a= - 0.79 m/s²

Therefore the acceleration will be - 0.79 m/s².

A car initially traveling at 17.1 mph comes to rest in 9.7s what was its acceleration in this time?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

a=-.78m/s^2

Explanation:

Δv=at

  • Δv is the difference in velocity before and after a given time.
  • a is the acceleration of the object during this time.
  • t is time

(v_f-v_i)=at is another way to write this equation.

  • The Δ symbol represents "the difference between the initial and final values of a magnitude or vector", so Δv=(v_f-v_i)

v_f-v_i=at\\\frac{at}{t}=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}\\a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

  • I rearranged this equation to solve for a, but this is a step that you don't need to take, it's just good to get in the habit of doing this.
  • Plug in the given values. Note that our final velocity is 0, because the car travels until at <em>rest</em>.

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}\\a=\frac{(0)-[(17.1\frac{miles}{hour} )(\frac{hour}{3600s})(\frac{1609.34m}{mile})]}{9.7s}

  • Our initial velocity is in mph, something not in standard units, so if not changed, you will get an incorrect answer. What you need to do is cancel out the units your prior value had using division and multiplication, and at the same time multiply and divide the correct numbers and units into your equation. Or look up a converter.

a=\frac{(0)-[(17.1\frac{miles}{hour} )(\frac{hour}{3600s})(\frac{1609.34m}{mile})]}{9.7s}\\a=\frac{0m/s-7.6m/s}{9.7s} \\a=\frac{-7.6m/s}{9.7s}

  • if you converted correctly, your answer for v_f will be ≅ 7.6m/s.
  • Now divide. Notice that the units for acceleration are m/s^2 or <em>meters per second, per second</em>.

a=\frac{-7.6m/s}{9.7s}\\a=-.78m/s^2

  • Our final answer is <em>negative </em>because the car is <em>slowing down</em>. Do not square this answer as the square symbol only applies to the units, not the magnitude.
