A physics book slides off a horizontal tabletop with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350s. ignore air resistance.

Find (a) the height of the tabletop above the floor; (b) the horizontal distance from the edge of the table to the point where the book strikes the floor; (c) the horizontal and vertical components of the book's velocity, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, just before the book reaches the floor.

Answer:

a. 0.6 m b. 0.385 m c. 3.6 m/s at 287.78° to the horizontal

Explanation:

a. Using s = ut - 1/2gt² for motion under gravity where s = vertical distance = height of table, u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s, t = time of flight = 0.350 s and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting these these values into s and taking the top of the table as position 0 m, we have.

0 - s = 0t - 1/2gt²

-s = -1/2gt²

s = 1/2gt²

s = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (0.350 s)²

s = 0.6 m

b. Using d = v't where d = horizontal distance from table, v' = horizontal velocity of book = 1.10 m/s and t = time of flight = 0.350 s

d = v't = 1.10 m/s × 0.350 s = 0.385 m

c. Using v² = u² - 2gs where u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s and g = 9.8 m/s², s = -0.6 m (negative since we are at the bottom and 0 m is at the top)and v = final vertical velocity of book

v² = u² - 2gs

= 0 - 2 × 9.8 m/s² × (-0.6 m)

= 11.76 m²/s²

v = √11.76 m/s

= 3.43 m/s

So, the magnitude of the resultant velocity is V = √(v² + v'²)

= √((3.43 m/s)² + (1.10 m/s)'²)

= √(11.76 m²/s² + 1.21 m²/s²)

= √12.97 m²/s²

= 3.6 m/s

Its direction Ф = tan⁻¹(-v/v') since v is in the negative y direction

= tan⁻¹(-3.43 m/s/1.10 m/s)

= tan⁻¹(-3.1182)

= -72.22°

Ф = -72.22°+ 360 = 287.78° since it is in the third quadrant

Define orbital velocity
sveta [45]

the Orbital Velocity is the velocity sufficient to cause a natural or artificial satellite to remain in orbit. Inertia of the moving body tends to make it move on in a straight line, while gravitational force tends to pull it down. The orbital path, elliptical or circular, representing a balance between gravity and inertia, and it follows a rue that states that the more massive the body at the centre of attraction is, the higher is the orbital velocity for a particular altitude or distance.

How much work is done when an engine generates 400 Watts of power in 25 seconds?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

10000 J or 10 KJ

Explanation:

power = workdone/time taken

400 = workdone/25

workdone = 400 * 25

=10000 J

A fire helicopter carries a 580-kg bucket of water at the end of a 20.0-m long cable. Flying back from a fire at a constant spee
inn [45]

Answer:

F = 41,954 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of bucket = 580 Kg

length of the cable = 20 m

velocity = 40 m/s

angle made = 38.0°

T cos 38° = m g..............(1)

T sin 38^0 = \dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F......(2)

dividing equation (2) by (1)

tan 38^0 = \dfrac{\dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F}{mg}

tan 38^0 = \dfrac{\dfrac{580\times 40^2}{20} + F}{580 \times 9.81}

4445.36 = \dfrac{580\times 40^2}{20} + F

F = -46400 + 4445.36

F = -41,954 N

hence, the force is acting in the opposite direction as assumed.

F = 41,954 N

Yashoda prepares some lime juice on a hot day. She adds 80 g of ice at a temperature of 0°C to 0.32 kg of lime juice. The temper
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

hear energy required to melt 1 g of ice = 340 J ,

hear energy required to melt 80 g of ice = 340 x 80  J = 27220 J .

b ) energy gained by the melted ice ( water at O°C ) = m ct

where m is mass of water , s is specific heat and t is rise in temperature

= 80 x 4.2 x ( 8°C - 0°C)

= 2688 J .

c )

energy lost by lime juice = energy gained by ice and water

= 27220 J + 2688 J .

= 29908 J .

d )

Let specific heat required be S

Heat lost by lime juice = M S T

M is mass of lime juice , S is specific heat , T is decrease in temperature

= 320 g x S x ( 29 - 8 )°C

= 6720 S

For equilibrium

Heat lost = heat gained

6720 S = 29908 J

S = 4.45 J /g °C .
