A bolt is dropped from a bridge under construction, falling 96 m to the valley below the bridge. (a) How much time does it take

irakobra [83]

Answer:

a)It takes the bolt 0.25 s to pass the last 11% of the fall.

b)When the bolt begins to fall the last 11% of the fall its velocity is -41.2 m/s.

c)The velocity of the bolt just before it reaches the ground is -43.6 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) Let´s calculate how much distance it is the last 11% of the fall:

96 m · 0.11 = 10.56 m

So, we have to find how much time it takes the bolt to pass from a height of 10.56 m to the ground.

First, let´s calculate how much time it takes the bolt to reach a height of 10.56 m. For that we can use this equation:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

h = height of the bolt at a time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

If we consider the ground as the origin of the frame of reference, then h0 = 96 m. Since the bolt is dropped, the initial velocity is zero (v0 = 0). Then, the equation gets reduce to this:

h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find at which time h = 10.56 m.

10.56 m = 96 m - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

Solving for t:

√(-2 · (10.56 m - 96 m) / 9.8 m/s²) = t

t = 4.2 s

Now that we have the time at which the bolt is located at 10.56 m above the ground, we can calculate the velocity of the bolt at that time.

The equation of velocity (v) of the bolt is the following:

v = v0 + g · t

at t = 4.2 s.

v = 0 - 9.8 m/s² · 4.2 s

v = -41.2 m/s

When the bolt begins to fall the last 11% of the fall its velocity is -41.2 m/s.

Now, we can calculate how much time it takes to fall the last 10.56 m.

The initial velocity of the bolt will be the velocity at h = 10.56 m. The initial height will be 10.56 m.

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find the time at which h = 0 (the bolt hits the ground)

0 = 10.56 m - 41.2 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

t = 0.25 s (the other solution of the quadratic equation is negative and thus discarded).

It takes the bolt 0.25 s to pass the last 11% of the fall.

Now, let´s calculate the velocity of the bolt when it reaches the ground:

v = v0 + g · t

v = -41.2 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.25 s

v = -43.6 m/s

The velocity of the bolt just before it reaches the bolt is -43.6 m/s

Which statements about acceleration are true?

It's definitely not B or C. There are things missing from A and D so we can't narrow it down any farther.

When a very cold air mass covers half of the united states, a very warm air mass often covers the other half. explain how this h

Rudiy27

Maritime tropical air masses develop over warm waters present in the tropics and Gulf of Mexico, where heat and moisture are carried to to the overlying air from the water below.

 Tropical air masses having northward movement carry warm moist air into the United States, thus increasing the potential for condensation. Generally the southern states experience tropical air masses. But, in winter season, southerly winds ahead of migrating cyclones sometimes transport tropical air mass towards north.

The counterclockwise winds related to northern hemisphere mid latitude cyclones play an important role in the movement air masses, carrying warm moist air towards north ahead of a low while dragging colder and drier air towards south.
