If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 65 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by

f(t)=65t−16t2 Find the average velocity for the time period beginning when t=2 and lasting (i) 0.5 seconds 61.5 (ii) 0.1 seconds 65.74 (iii) 0.01 seconds 65.98 (iii) 0.001 seconds 65.99 Based on the above results, guess what the instantaneous velocity of the ball is when t=2.

Answer:

a) v_{1}=\frac{(62.5-66)ft}{(2.5-2)s}=-7ft/s

v_{2}=\frac{(65.94-66)ft}{(2.1-2)s}=-0.6ft/s

v_{3}=\frac{(66.0084-66)ft}{(2.01-2)s}=0.84ft/s

v_{4}=\frac{(66.001-66)ft}{(2.001-2)s}=1ft/s

b) v=65-32(2)=1ft/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we got the ball's equation of position:

y=65t-16t^{2}

a) To find the average velocity at the given time we need to use the following formula:

v=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{t_{2}-t_{1}  }

Being said that, we need to find the ball's position at t=2, t=2.5, t=2.1, t=2.01, t=2.001

y_{t=2}=65(2)-16(2)^{2} =66ft

y_{t=2.5}=65(2.5)-16(2.5)^{2} =62.5ft

v_{1}=\frac{(62.5-66)ft}{(2.5-2)s}=-7ft/s

--

y_{t=2.1}=65(2.1)-16(2.1)^{2} =65.94ft

v_{2}=\frac{(65.94-66)ft}{(2.1-2)s}=-0.6ft/s

--

y_{t=2.01}=65(2.01)-16(2.01)^{2} =66.0084ft

v_{3}=\frac{(66.0084-66)ft}{(2.01-2)s}=0.84ft/s

--

y_{t=2.001}=65(2.001)-16(2.001)^{2} =66.001ft

v_{4}=\frac{(66.001-66)ft}{(2.001-2)s}=1ft/s

b) To find the instantaneous velocity we need to derivate the equation

v=\frac{df}{dt}=65-32t

v=65-32(2)=1ft/s

What is the thermal efficiency of a gas power cycle using thermal energy reservoirs at 627°C and 90°C?
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The value is \eta = 63\%

Explanation:

Generally the thermal efficiency is mathematically represented as

\eta =  1 -  \frac{T_L}{T_H} * 100

substituting  [ 627°C + 273  =  900K ]  for  T_H and    [ 90°C + 273  =  333K ]  for T_L

   So  

         \eta =  1 -  \frac{333}{900} *100

=>     \eta = 63\%

A thin layer of oil of refractive index 1.22 is spread on the surface of water (n = 1.33), If the thickness of the oil is 275 nm
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

6.71×10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Using thin film constructive interference formula as:

<u>2×n×t = m×λ</u>

Where,

n is the refractive index of the refracted surface

t is the thickness of the surface

λ is the wavelength

If m =1

Then,

2×n×t = λ

Given that refractive index pf the oil is 1.22

Thickness of the oil = 275 nm

Also, 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

Thickness = 275×10⁻⁹ m

So,

Wavelength is :

<u>λ= 2×n×t = 2× 1.22 × 275×10⁻⁹ m = 6.71×10⁻⁷ m</u>
