Instead, suppose that it was ﬁred upward at 60◦ with respect to a horizontal line. Then its horizontal component of velocity is

50 m/s. What would be the speed of the projectile at the top of its trajectory?

Answer:

50 m/s

Explanation:

Angle = 60 degree

Horizontal component of velocity = 50 m/s

A projectile motion is the motion of an object in two dimensions under the influence of gravity.

In this case, the object has no acceleration along horizontal direction, it has acceleration in vertical direction which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity of earth.

When the projectile reaches at the maximum height it travels only along the horizontal and thus it has only horizontal velocity at that instant.

Thus, the velocity of teh projectile at maximum height is same as horizontal component of velocity that meas 50 m/s.

An unknown immiscible liquid seeps into the bottom of an open oil tank. Some measurements indicate that the depth of the unknown

ira [324]

Answer:

The specific gravity of the unkown liquid is 15.

Explanation:

Gauge pressure, at the bottom of the tank in this case, can be calculated from

$P_{bot}=\gamma_{oil}h_1 + \gamma_{unk}h_2,$

where $h_1$ and $h_2$ are the height of the column of oil and the unkown liquid, respectively. Writing for $\gamma_{unk}$ , we have

$\gamma_{unk} = \frac{P_{bot} - \gamma_{oil}h_1}{h_2} = \frac{65\frac{kN}{m^2} - 8.5\frac{kN}{m^3}\times 5m}{1.5m} = \mathbf{15 \frac{kN}{m^3}}.$

Relative to water, the unknow liquid specific weight is 15 times bigger, therefore this is its specific gravity as well.

You are standing a distance of 17.0 meters from the center of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round takes 9.50 seconds to go comp

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

(a)11.24 m/s

(b)7.44 m/s

(c)409 N

(d) $539.55\mu$

(e) 0

Explanation:

The period for 1 circle $2\pi$ of the merry go around is 9.5s. It means the angular speed is:

$\omega = \theta / t = 2\pi / 9.5 \approx 0.661 rad/s$

(a)The speed is

$v = \omega * R = 0.661 * 17 = 11.24 m/s$

(b) Centripetal acceleration:

$a = \frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{11.24^2}{17} = 7.44 m/s^2$

(c) Magnitude of the force that keeps you go around at this acceleration

$F = ma = 55 * 7.44 = 409 N$

(d) let the coefficient of friction by $\mu$ . The frictional force shall be this coefficient multiplied by normal force reverting gravity of the man

$F_f = mg\mu = 55*9.81\mu = 539.55\mu$

Two concrete spans of a 380 m long bridge are

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

4.163 m

Explanation:

Since the length of the bridge is

L = 380 m

And the bridge consists of 2 spans, the initial length of each span is

$L_i = \frac{L}{2}=\frac{380}{2}=190 m$

Due to the increase in temperature, the length of each span increases according to:

$L_f = L_i(1+ \alpha \Delta T)$

where

$L_i = 190 m$ is the initial length of one span

$\alpha =1.2\cdot 10^{-5} ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ is the temperature coefficient of thermal expansion

$\Delta T=20^{\circ}C$ is the increase in temperature

Substituting,

$L_f=(190)(1+(1.2\cdot 10^{-5})(20))=190.0456 m$

By using Pythagorean's theorem, we can find by how much the height of each span rises due to this thermal expansion (in fact, the new length corresponds to the hypothenuse of a right triangle, in which the base is the original length of the spand, and the rise in heigth is the other side); so we find:

$h=\sqrt{L_f^2-L_i^2}=\sqrt{(190.0456)^2-(190)^2}=4.163 m$

Which transformation of energy occurs when a fan is turned on and the blades start to rotate?

Ksju [112]

Answer:

kinetic energy

Explanation:

A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy. A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator
