Three students derive the following equations in which x refers to distance traveled, v the speed, a the acceleration (m/s^2), a

nd t the time, and the subscript (0) means a quantity at time t=0: a) x=vt^2 + 2at, b) x=v0t+1/2at^2, and c) x=v0t+2at^2. Which of these could possibly be correct according to a dimensional check?

Answer:

B) and C)

Explanation:

Dimensional check involves using the units of the fundamental quantities, like mass to verify the accuracy of a formula or model.

For this case, the quantities required are Length and Time. Their units are Metre (m) and Seconds (s) respectively.

Since x refers to Distance, v refers to velocity, a refers to acceleration and t refers to time,

A) x = vt² + 2at

=> m = (m/s * s²) + (m/s² * s)

m = ms + m/s

The units are unbalanced, hence, it is not dimensionally correct.

B) x = v₀t + 2at²

=> m = (m/s * s) + (m/s² * s²)

m = m + m

The units are balanced, hence, it is dimensionally correct.

C) x = v₀t + ¹/₂at²

=> m = (m/s * s) + (m/s² * s²)

m = m + m

The units are balanced, hence, it is dimensionally correct.

As a quality test of ball bearings, you drop bearings (small metal balls), with zero initial velocity, from a height of 1.94 m i
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the bearings is 0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 1.94  m

Bounced height = 1.48 m

Time interval t=14.86\times10^{-3}\ s

Velocity of the ball bearing just before hitting the steel plate

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Put the value into the formula

9.8\times1.94=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2

v=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.94}

v=6.166\ m/s

Negative as it is directed downwards

After bounce back,

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2'

Put the value into the formula

9.8\times1.48=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2'

v'=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.48}

v'=5.38\ m/s

We need to calculate the average acceleration of the bearings while they are in contact with the plate

Using formula of acceleration

a=\dfrac{v-v'}{t}

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{5.38-(-6.166)}{14.86\times10^{-3}}

a=776.98\ m/s^2

a=0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2

Hence,The average acceleration of the bearings is 0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2

During World War I, the Germans had a gun called Big Bertha that was used to shell Paris. The shell had an initial speed of 2.61
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The shell hit at a distance of 1.9 x 10² km

The time of flight of the shell was 5.3 x 10² s

Explanation:

The position of the shell is given by the vector "r":

r  = (x0 + v0 * t * cos α ; y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²)

where:

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = magnitude of the initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration of gravity

When the shell hit, the vertical component (ry) of the vector position r is 0. See figure.

Then:

ry = 0 =  y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²

Since the gun is at the center of our system of reference, y0 and x0 = 0

0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t)

t= 0 is discarded as solution

v0 sin α + 1/2 g t = 0

t = -2v0 sin α / g

t = (-2 * 2610 m/s * sin 81.9°)/ (-9.8 m/s²) = 5.3 x 10² s. This is the time of flight of the shell until it hit.

Then, the distance at which the shell hit is:

Distance = Module of r = ( x0 + v0 * t * cos α; 0) = x0 + v0 * t * cos α  

Distance = 2.61 km/s * 5.3 x 10² s * cos 81.9 = 1.9 x 10² km

a ball moves at a constant speed of 1/2 meter per second. How much time does it take the ball to move 1 meter?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

if a ball travels 1/2 meter per second, and there's 2 halfs in a whole, 1/2 meter per second x 2 halfs in a whole meter is 2 seconds to travel a meter

Below is an oscilloscope trace from an AC supply. Calculate the frequency of the supply if each horizontal division represents 0
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

20 hertz of frequency produced.

Explanation:

\boxed{frequency = \frac{1}{period} }

Here we will find frequency and period should be in second, here given: 0.05 seconds

using the formula:

\boxed{frequency = \frac{1}{0.05} }

\boxed{frequency =20}
