If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 40 ft/s, it height in feet after t second is given by y

=40t−16t2. Find the average velocity for the time period begining when t=2 and lasting
(i) 0.5 seconds

(ii) 0.1 seconds

(iii) 0.01 seconds

Finally based on the above results, guess what the instantaneous velocity of the ball is when t=2.

We should first calculate the highest point that ball reaches. 
y' = 40 - 32t = 0
t = 40/32 = 1,25s
y = 25 feet.

To calculate average velocity we use simple formula:
Vav=s/t   where s is traveled distance by the time t.



for t=2  we calculate y
y = 16
(i)  for t = 2,5     y = 0
Vav = 16/0.5 = 32 feet/s
(ii) for t = 2.1     y = 13.44
Vav = 2.56/0.1 = 25.6 feet/s
(iii) for t = 2.01  y = 15.7584
Vav = 0.2416/0.01= 24.16 feet/s

it seems like the answer would be 24 feet/s. There is a way to calculate that.

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T (1)

Where:

P - Pressure.

V - Volume.

n - Molar quantity, in moles.

R_{u} - Ideal gas constant.

T - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2} (2)

If we know that \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}, then the resulting pressure of the system is:

P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)

P_{2} = 3\cdot P_{1}

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

When the displacement of a mass on a spring is 12 a the half of the amplitude, what fraction of the mechanical energy is kinetic
Sveta_85 [38]
You know that when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (A), the velocity is zero, which implies that the kinetic energy (KE) is zeero, so the total mechanical energy (ME) is the potential energy (PE).

And you know that the potential energy, PE, is [ 1/2 ] k (x^2)

Then, use x = A, to calculate the PE in the point where ME = PE.

ME = PE = [1/2] k (A)^2.

At half of the amplitude, x = A/2 => PE = [ 1/2] k (A/2)^2

=> PE = [1/4] { [1/2]k(A)^2 } = .[1/4] ME

So, if PE is 1/4 of ME, KE is 3/4 of ME.

And the answer is 3/4
