An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 54.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws tw

o stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 1.82 m/s.
(a) How long after release of the first stone do the two stones hit the water? s
(b) What initial velocity must the second stone have if the two stones are to hit the water simultaneously? magnitude m/s direction
(c) What is the speed of each stone at the instant the two stones hit the water? first stone m/s second stone m/s

Answer:

a) After the release of the first stone the two stones hit the water at 3.14 seconds.

b)Initial velocity of second stone = 14.74 m/s

c) Speed of first stone at the instant the two stones hit the water = 32.62 m/s

Speed of second stone at the instant the two stones hit the water = 35.73 m/s

Explanation:

a) For first stone we have

Initial velocity, u = 1.82 m/s

Acceleration , a = 9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = 54 m

We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

s= ut + 0.5 at²

54 = 1.82 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

4.905 t² + 1.82 t - 54 = 0

t = 3.14 s or t = -3.51 s (not possible)

After the release of the first stone the two stones hit the water at 3.14 seconds.

b) The second stone is thrown after 1 s

Time taken by second stone to reach top of pool of water = 3.14 - 1 = 2.14 s

Time, t = 2.14 m/s

Acceleration , a = 9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = 54 m

We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

s= ut + 0.5 at²

54 = u x 2.14 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 2.14²

u = 14.74 m/s

Initial velocity of second stone = 14.74 m/s

c) We have equation of motion v = u + at

For first stone

Initial velocity, u = 1.82 m/s

Acceleration , a = 9.81 m/s²

Time, t = 3.14 s

v = 1.82 + 9.81 x 3.14 = 32.62 m/s

For second stone

Initial velocity, u = 14.74 m/s

Acceleration , a = 9.81 m/s²

Time, t = 2.14 s

v = 14.74 + 9.81 x 2.14 = 35.73 m/s

Speed of first stone at the instant the two stones hit the water = 32.62 m/s

Speed of second stone at the instant the two stones hit the water = 35.73 m/s

What will the transistor look like in the future

Elden [556K]

<u>TRANSISTOR:</u>

The future of transistors based on the ongoing researches suggests that, it would be based on nano technology. This technology is itself still under development and the case is similar in the case of transistors too.

Transistors due to their applications, especially its application as an amplifier has increased its usage and the dependability over them. The hard part often arises with the fabrication techniques which are being tested and developed as we speak in order to increase the efficiency of the transistors and also to reduce their physical size though, these would mean that, the design complications would be higher.

You step on the gas pedal in your car, and the car engine’s rotational speed changes from 1200 rpm to 3000 rpm in 3.0 s. What is

Gnom [1K]

frequency of engine is given here

$initial frequency = 1200 rpm$

$f_i = 1200/60 = 20 Hz$

$final frequency = 3000 rpm$

$f_f = 3000/60 = 50 Hz$

now we have angular speed as

$\omega_i = 2\pi f_i$

$\omega_i = 2\pi(20) = 40\pi$

similarly

$\omega_f = 2\pi f_f$

$\omega_f = 2\pi(50) = 100 \pi$

now by the formula of angular acceleration we will have

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha = \frac{100\pi - 40\pi}{3}$

$\alpha = 20\pi rad/s^2$

$\alpha = 62.8 rad/s^2$
