Answer:

1.9311 m/s

168.86792 N

Explanation:

v = Final velocity

m = Mass of truck = $2.4\times 10^3\ kg$

s = Displacement = 26.5 m

Work done is given by

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-0^2)\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2W}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 4475}{2.4\times 10^3}}\\\Rightarrow v=1.9311\ m/s$

The speed is 1.9311 m/s

Work done is given by

$W=Fs\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{4475}{26.5}\\\Rightarrow F=168.86792\ N$

The horizontal force is 168.86792 N

The question is in the picture

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

e) 120m/s

Explanation:

When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity becomes zero, meaning

$v_0-gt = 0$ .

where $v_0$ is the initial velocity.

Solving for $t$ we get

$t = \dfrac{v_0}{g}$

which is the time it takes the ball to reach the highest point.

Now, after the ball has reached its highest point, it turns around and falls downwards. After time $t_0$ since it had reached the highest point, the ball has traveled downwards and the velocity $v_f$ it has gained is

$v_f = gt_0$ ,

and we are told that this is twice the initial velocity $v_0$ ; therefore,

$v_f = 2v_0 = gt_0$

which gives

$t_0 = \dfrac{2v_0}{g}.$

Thus, the total time taken to reach velocity $2v_0$ is

$t_{tot} = t+t_0 = \dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{2v_0}{g}$

$t_{tot} = \dfrac{3v_0}{g}.$

This $t_{tot}$ , we are told, is 36 seconds; therefore,

$36= \dfrac{3v_0}{g},$

and solving for $v_0$ we get:

$v_0 = \dfrac{36g}{3}$

$v_0 = \dfrac{36s(10m/s^2)}{3}$

$\boxed{v_0 = 120m/s}$

which from the options given is choice e.

A piece of steel is 11.5cm long at 22C. It is heated to 1221C, close to its melting point. How long is it, in cm, at the high te

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The length at the final temperature is 11.7 cm.

Explanation:

We need to use the thermal expansion equation:

$\Delta L=\alpha L_{0}\Delta T$

Where:

L(0) is the initial length
ΔT is the differential temperature, final temperature minus initial temperature (T(f)-T(0))
ΔL is the final length minus the initial length (L(f)-L(0))
α is the coefficient of linear expantion of steel (12.5*10⁻⁶ 1/°C)

So, we have:

$L_{f}-L_{0}=\alpha L_{0}(T_{f}-T_{0})$

$L_{f}=L_{0}+\alpha L_{0}(T_{f}-T_{0})$

$L_{f}=0.115+(12.5*10^{-6})(0.115)(1221-22)$

$L_{f}=0.117\: m$

Therefore, the length at the final temperature is 11.7 cm.

I hope it helps you!

A stone is dropped into a river from a bridge at a height h above the water. Another stone is thrown vertically down at a time t

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}$

Explanation:

We will apply the equations of kinematics to both stones separately.

First stone:

Let us denote the time spent after the second stone is thrown as 'T'.

$y - y_0 = v_{y_0}(t+T) + \frac{1}{2}a(t+T)^2\\0 - h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(-g)(t+T)^2\\(t+T)^2 = \frac{2h}{g}\\T = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}-t$

Second stone:

$y - y_0 = v_{y_0}T + \frac{1}{2}aT^2\\0 - h = v_{y_0}T -\frac{1}{2}gT^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t)^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\frac{2h}{g} + t^2 - 2t\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})\\-h = v_{y_0}\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - v_{y_0}t - h -\frac{g}{2}t^2 + gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) = \frac{g}{2}t^2 - gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}$
