Distance fallen = 1/2 ( V initial + V final ) *t
We know
a = -9.8 m/s2
t=120s

To find distance fallen, we need to find V final
Use the equation
V final = V initial + a*t
Substitute known values
V final = 0 + (-9.8)(120)
V final = -1176 m/s

Then plug known values to distance fallen equation
Distance fallen = 1/2 ( 0 + 1176 )(120)
= 1/2(1776)(120)
=106,560 m

This way plugging into distance equation is actually the long way. A faster way is to plug the values into
Distance fallen = V initial * t + 1/2(a*t)
We won't need to find V final using another equation.

But anyways, good luck!

Air expands adiabatically in a piston–cylinder assembly from an initial state where p1 = 100 lbf/in.2, v1 = 3.704 ft3/lb, and T1
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Final temperature is equal to 1291.63°R  

Explanation:

given,

p₁ = 100 lb f/in²,               v₁ = 3.704 ft³/lb,           and T₁ = 1000 °R

p₂ = 30 lb f/in²                 n = 1.4

Δ u = 0.171(T₂ - T₁)

we know for poly tropic process

p vⁿ = constant

p₁ v₁ⁿ = p₂ v₂ⁿ

100 × 3.704¹°⁴ = 30 × v₂¹°⁴

v₂ = 8.753 ft³/lb

work done for poly tropic process

W = \dfrac{p_1v_1-p_2v_2}{n-1}

    = \dfrac{100\times 3.704-30\times 8.753}{1.4-1}

    = 269.525 lbf/in².ft³

W = \dfrac{269.525}{5.40395} Btu/lb

   = 49.87 Btu/lb

in the piston cylinder arrangement air is expanding acrobatically

Δ q = Δu + w

Δ u = - w

0.171(T₂ - T₁) = -49.87

0.171(T₁ - T₂) = -49.87

0.171 T₂ = 0.171 × 1000 + 49.87

T₂ = 1291.63 °R

Final temperature is equal to 1291.63°R

A simple harmonic wave of wavelength 18.7 cm and amplitude 2.34 cm is propagating along a string in the negative x-direction at
storchak [24]

Answer

given,

wavelength = λ = 18.7 cm

                    = 0.187 m

amplitude , A = 2.34 cm

v = 0.38 m/s

A)  angular frequency = ?

     f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

     f = \dfrac{0.38}{0.187}

     f =2.03\ Hz

angular frequency ,

ω = 2π f

ω = 2π x 2.03

ω = 12.75 rad/s

B) the wave number ,

      K = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

     K= \dfrac{2\pi}{0.187}

    K =33.59\ m^{-1}

C)

as the wave is propagating in -x direction, the sign is positive between x and t

y ( x ,t) = A sin(k  x - ω t)

y ( x ,t) = 2.34  x  sin(33.59 x - 12.75 t)

Why is weathering slow in cold, dry places?
Alexxandr [17]

Rate of weathering depends on temperature and moisture. Cold dry places have less water to weather things

A sports car skids off of a wet mountain road at 48.5 m/s and lands in the river, 110
Oxana [17]

Answer:

  about 4.74 seconds

Explanation:

The time to fall distance d from height h is given by ...

  t = √(2d/g)

  t = √(2·110 m/(9.8 m/s^2)) ≈ 4.74 s

It will take the car about 4.74 seconds to fall 110 meters to the river.

__

We assume the car's speed is horizontal, so does not add or subtract anything to/from the time to fall from the height.

Which of the following statements explains why a race car going around a curve is accelerating, even if the speed is constant? A
Tom [10]

OPTION C The car is accelerating because the direction of velocity is changing explains why a race car going around a curve is accelerating, even if the speed is constant

  • When a body is in uniform circular motion ( constant speed ), it will continuously cheanges its direction and so the body is accelerating
  • The rate at which an item changes its velocity is known as acceleration, a vector variable. If an object's velocity is changing, it is accelerating.
  • As a vector quantity, acceleration has a direction attached to it. The acceleration vector's direction is determined by two factors: if the thing is slowing down or speeding up the direction the thing is travelling in (+ or -)

  • The following general rule is used to calculate acceleration:

An object's acceleration will be in the opposite direction of its velocity if it is slowing down.

You may use this basic concept to determine if an object's acceleration is positive or negative, to the right or left, up or down, etc.
