A dairy farmer notices that a circular water trough near the barn has become rusty and now has a hole near the base. The hole is

0.38 m below the level of the water that is in the tank. If the top of the trough is open to the atmosphere, what is the speed of the water as it leaves the hole

Answer: 2.73m/s

Explanation:

Potential energy of the water is turned into kinetic energy

mgd = mv^2/2

Where m = mass of water

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2

d = depth of the water = 0.38m

v = velocity of leaking water

m × 9.81 × 0.38 = mv^2/

eliminate m on both sides and multiply through by 2

7.4456 = v^2

v = sqrt(7.4456)

v = 2.73m/s

Archy [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.

The formula to apply is :

m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f

where ;

m_1=mass of object 1\\v_1i=initial  velocity object1\\m_2=mass of object2\\v_2i=initial velocity object 2\\v_1f=final velocity object 1\\v_2f=final velocity object 2

Given in the question that;

m_1=14650kg\\v_1i=18m/s\\m_2=3825kg\\v_2i=11m/s\\v_1f=6m/s\\v_2f=?

Apply the formula as;

m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f

{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}

263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f

305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f

305775-87900 = 3825v₂f

217875=3825v₂f

217875/3825 =v₂f

56.96 = v₂f

<u>57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}</u>

A container of gas is held at a constant volume. Which will most likely happen to the temperature if the pressure of the gas inc
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

With more particles there will be more collisions and so a greater pressure. The number of particles is proportional to pressure, if the volume of the container and the temperature remain constant. ... This happens when the temperature is increased.

A 58.0-kg projectile is fired at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 140 m/s from the top of a cliff
strojnjashka [21]

(a) 6.43\cdot 10^5 J

The total mechanical energy of the projectile at the beginning is the sum of the initial kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U):

E=K+U

The initial kinetic energy is:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m = 58.0 kg is the mass of the projectile and v=140 m/s is the initial speed. Substituting,

K=\frac{1}{2}(58 kg)(140 m/s)^2=5.68\cdot 10^5 J

The initial potential energy is given by

U=mgh

where g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and h=132 m is the height of the cliff. Substituting,

U=(58.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(132 m)=7.5\cdot 10^4 J

So, the initial mechanical energy is

E=K+U=5.68\cdot 10^5 J+7.5\cdot 10^4 J=6.43\cdot 10^5 J

(b) -1.67 \cdot 10^5 J

We need to calculate the total mechanical energy of the projectile when it reaches its maximum height of y=336 m, where it is travelling at a speed of v=99.2 m/s.

The kinetic energy is

K=\frac{1}{2}(58 kg)(99.2 m/s)^2=2.85\cdot 10^5 J

while the potential energy is

U=(58.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(336 m)=1.91\cdot 10^5 J

So, the mechanical energy is

E=K+U=2.85\cdot 10^5 J+1.91 \cdot 10^5 J=4.76\cdot 10^5 J

And the work done by friction is equal to the difference between the initial mechanical energy of the projectile, and the new mechanical energy:

W=E_f-E_i=4.76\cdot 10^5 J-6.43\cdot 10^5 J=-1.67 \cdot 10^5 J

And the work is negative because air friction is opposite to the direction of motion of the projectile.

(c) 88.1 m/s

The work done by air friction when the projectile goes down is one and a half times (which means 1.5 times) the work done when it is going up, so:

W=(1.5)(-1.67\cdot 10^5 J)=-2.51\cdot 10^5 J

When the projectile hits the ground, its potential energy is zero, because the heigth is zero: h=0, U=0. So, the projectile has only kinetic energy:

E = K

The final mechanical energy of the projectile will be the mechanical energy at the point of maximum height plus the work done by friction:

E_f = E_h + W=4.76\cdot 10^5 J +(-2.51\cdot 10^5 J)=2.25\cdot 10^5 J

And this is only kinetic energy:

E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

So, we can solve to find the final speed:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.25\cdot 10^5 J)}{58 kg}}=88.1 m/s
