A lead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 16.0 ft above the water. It hits the water with a certain velocity and th

en sinks to the bottom with this same constant velocity. If it reaches the bottom 5.30 s after it is dropped, how deep is the lake (in feet)?

Answer:

138.46 ft

Explanation:

When the ball is dropped until the moment it hits the water, the ball moves in a uniform acceleration motion. Therefore, the equation that describes the movement of the ball is:

X = \frac{1}{2}*g*t^{2}  + V_{0} *t + x_0

Where X is the distance that the ball has fallen at a time t. V_0 is the initial velocity, which is 0 ft/s as the ball was simply dropped. x_0 is the initial position, we will say that this value is 0 in the position where the ball was dropped for simplicity, and it increases as the ball is falling. Now, we replace x with 16 feets and solves for t:

16 ft = \frac{1}{2} * 32.2 \frac{ft}{s^{2}} *t^{2} +0 \frac{ft}{s} * t + 0 ft

t = \sqrt{2* \frac{16 ft}{32.2 \frac{ft}{s^2}}} = 1 s

The velocity that the ball will have at the moment the ball that the ball hits the water will be:

V = V_o+g*t=0\frac{ft}{s}+32.2\frac{ft}{s^2}*1s =32.2\frac{ft}{s}

The time that will take the ball to reach the bottom from the top of the lake will be t = 5.3s - 1s = 4.3s. And as the ball will travel with constant velocity equal to 32.2 ft/s^2, the depth of the lake will be:

d = v*t = 32.2\frac{ft}{s}  * 4.3s = 138.46 ft

A jet plane is launched from a catapult on an aircraft carrier. In 2.0 s it reaches a speed of 42 m/s at the end of the catapult
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time taken t=2\ s

Speed acquired in 2 sec v=42\ m/s

Here initial velocity is zero u=0

acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in a given time

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

a=\frac{42-0}{2}=21\ m/s^2

Distance travel in this time

s=ut+0.5at^2

where  

s=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

s=0+\0.5\times 21\times (2)^2

s=42\ m

so Jet Plane travels a distance of 42 m in 2 s

The pressure gauge shown below has a spring for which k = 60 N/m, and the area of the piston is 0.50 cm2. Its right end is conne
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

0.025 m

0.059166 m

Explanation:

P = Pressure

A = Area

x = Compression of spring

Force is given by

F=PA\\\Rightarrow F=30000\times 0.5\times 10^{-4}\\\Rightarrow F=1.5\ N

From Hooke's law

F=kx\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1.5}{60}\\\Rightarrow x=0.025\ m

The spring is compressed 0.025 m

In the second case

F_1=1.5\ N

F_2=101000\times 0.5\times 10^{-4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=5.05\ N

Net force would be

F=F_2-F_1\\\Rightarrow F=5.05-1.5\\\Rightarrow F=3.55\ N

Compression would be

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{3.55}{60}\\\Rightarrow x=0.059167\ m

The compression of the spring is 0.059166 m
