For years, the tallest tower in the United States was the Phoenix Shot Tower in Baltimore, Maryland. The shot tower was used fro

m 1828 to1892 to make lead shot for pistols and rifles and molded shot for cannons and other instruments of warfare. Molten lead was dropped from the top of the 234-foot (71.3 meter) tall tower into a vat of water. During its free fall, the lead would form a perfectly spherical droplet and solidify. Determine the time of fall and the speed of a lead shot upon hitting the water at the bottom.

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) t = 3.81 s

b) vf =  37.4 m/s

Explanation:

Data

height = 71.3 m = 234 feet

t = 0 m/s

vf = ?

vo = 0 m/s

Formula

h = vot + 1/2gt²

vf = vo + gt

Process

a)

               h = vot + 1/2gt²

             71.3 = 0t + 1/2(9.81)t²

             2(71.3) = 9,81t²

              t² = 2(71.3)/9.81

              t² = 14.53

              t = 3.81 s

b)

      vf = 0 + (9.81)(3.81)

      vf = 37.4 m/s

An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 120 km/h in 8.28 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The value is   a =  4.0 \ m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

  The velocity  is  a =  120 \  km/h =  [tex]\frac{120 *  1000}{3600} =  33.3 \  m/s[/tex]

  The time taken is t  =  8.28 \  s

    The  time taken for contact is  t_c  =  0.815 \  s

     The  velocity of the of the car after contact is v_c =  71.0 \  km/h = [tex]\frac{71 *1000}{3600} =  19.7 2 \  m/s[/tex]

From the equation of kinematics we have that  

       v =  u  + at

Here   u =  0 \ m/s  since the car is initially motionless

=>    33.3 =  0  + a *  8.28

=>    a =  4.0 \ m/s^2

An object starts at 11 m/s with an acceleration of 12 m/s? What is its velocity after 4.5 seconds?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

65 m/s

Explanation:

v=v0+at <=> v = 11 + 12 t ∧ t = 4.5 s <=> v = 11 + 12×4.5 <=> v = 65 m/s

A neutral atom of uranium (U) has 146 neutrons and a mass number of 238. How many protons does it have?
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

92 protons

Explanation:

The mass number is 238 , so the nucleus has  <u>238  particles</u> in total, including <u>146 neutrons</u>.  So to calculate the number of neutrons we have to subtract:  238  −  146  =  92

Calculate the percentage increase in speed of the cyclist when the power output changes from 200 W to 300 W.
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

<em>50%</em>

Explanation:

Given

Initial power = 200W

Final power = 300W

Increment = 300 - 200 = 100W

percentage increase = increment/initial power * 100

percentage increase = 100/200 * 100%

percentage increase = 0.5 * 100

percentage increase = 50%

<em>Hence the percentage increase in speed is 50%</em>
