A) How fast was the brick moving after 4s?
Vf=?
Vi=0 (because it was dropped, not thrown)
A= -9.8m/s^2 (gravity)
t= 4s
Use the equation Vf=Vi+A(t)
Vf=0+(-9.8)(4)
Final answer: Vf= -39.2m/s
b) How far did the brick fall after 4s?
D=?
Vi=0
t=4s
A=-9.8m/s2
**You do have the final velocity, but it is best to avoid using numbers that you have calculated yourself.**
Use the equation: d=Vi(t)+0.5(A)(t)^2
d=(0)(4)+0.5(-9.8)(4)^2
d=(-4.9)(16)
d=-78.4m
Therefore, after 4s the brick fell 78.4m

A block of mass 0.404 0.404 kg is hung from a vertical spring and allowed to reach equilibrium at rest. As a result, the spring
VARVARA [1.3K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Force from Hook's law as well as the definition of the period provided by the same definition.

We know that the Force can be defined as

F = xk \rightarrow mg = kx \Rightarrow k = \frac{mg}{x}

Where

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

g = Gravity

m = mass

At the same time the period of a spring mass system is defined as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Where

m = Mass

k = Spring constant

Our values are given as,

m = 0.404kg

x = 0.666m

Replacing to find the value of the Spring constant we have that

k = \frac{mg}{x}

k = \frac{(0.404)(9.8)}{0.666}

k = 5.944N/m

Now using the formula of the period we know that

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.404}{5.944}}

T = 1.638s

Finally, if the oscillation was 0.359m

The maximum height will be determined by the total length of that oscillation being equivalent to

h=2a

h = 2*0.359

h = 0.718m

What are some of the major differences between the ancient Olympics and modern-day Olympics? List and describe at least two diff
umka21 [38]

Answer:

1

The ancient Olympic games only allowed people of Greek descent to participate. The Salt Lake City Olympics featured 2600 athletes from 77 countries. Only a few hundred athletes participated in the ancient games.

#2

Only men were allowed to compete in the ancient Greek games. Athletic training in ancient Greece was part of every free male citizen's education. The first women to compete in the Olympics were Marie Ohnier and Mme. Brohy. They participated in croquet games in the 1900 Olympics.

A sled drops 50 meters in height on a hill. The mass of the rider and sled is 70 kg and the sled is going 10 m/s at the bottom o
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 10.2 %

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 70 kg

Height = 50 m

Velocity = 10 m/s

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the efficiency of energy conversion from potential to kinetic;

First of all, we would determine the potential energy;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 70 * 9.8 * 50

P.E = 34300 J

For the kinetic energy;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½ * 70 * 10²

K.E = 35 * 100

K.E = 3500

Therefore, Input energy, I = 34300 J

Output energy, O = 3500 J

Next, we find the efficiency;

Efficiency = O/I * 100

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Efficiency = 3500/34300 * 100

Efficiency = 0.1020 * 100

Efficiency = 10.2 %

A large, 60 turn circular coil of radius 10.0 cm carries a current of 4.2 A. At the center of the large coil is a small 20 turn
Eddi Din [679]

To solve this problem we apply the concepts related to the electric torque generated by the electromagnetic field. Mathematically this Torque can be written under the following relation

\tau = NIAB sin\theta

Here,

N = Number of Turns

I = Current

A = Area

B = Magnetic Field

The maximum torque will be reached when the angle is 90 degrees, then we will have the following relation,

\theta = 90\°C

Magnetic Field is given at function of the number of loops, permeability constant at free space at the perimeter, then

B = \frac{N\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

B = \frac{(60)(4\pi * 10^{-7})(4.2)}{2\pi (0.1)}

B = 5.04*10^{-4}T

Replacing at the first equation we have,

T = (20)(\pi (0.005)^2)(1)(5.04*10^{-4})

T = 7.91*10^{-7}N\cdot m
