A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 37 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splas

h 2.92 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. m/s (b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 2.92 s after kicking the rock?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>(a). 16.741 m/s</u></em>

<em><u>(b). 15.75 m/s</u></em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Height of the cliff, h = 37 m

Time taken to reach the sound to us = 2.92 s

Speed of the sound in air at room temperature = 343 m/s

Now,

Let us say the speed of the ball = u m/s

So,

Time taken by the ball to reach at the bottom, t is given by,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 37}{9.8}}\\t=2.747\,s

So,

Splash is heard after = 2.92 s

So,

<u>Time taken by sound to travel the shortest distance along the hypotenuse of the triangle</u> thus formed is,

t = 2.92 - 2.747

t = 0.172 s

Now,

Distance traveled by sound is given by,

Distance=343\times 0.172\\Distance=59.02\,m

So,

In the triangle using the Pythagoras Theorem,

Horizontal distance traveled is,

D=\sqrt{59.02^{2}-37^{2}}\\D=45.99\,m

So,

Speed of throwing of ball is given by,

Distance=Speed\times Time\\45.99=u\times 2.747\\u=16.741\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the speed of the ball = 16.741 m/s.</u></em>

(b).

If,

Speed of sound = 331 m/s

So,

<u>Distance traveled by sound</u> is,

Distance=331\times 0.172\\Distance=56.932\,m

So,

Distance traveled in the horizontal by ball is,

Distance=\sqrt{56.932^{2}-37^{2}}\\Distance=43.269\,m

So,

Speed of the ball thrown is given by,

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\Speed=\frac{43.269}{2.747}\\Speed=15.75\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the speed of the ball = 15.75 m/s.</u></em>

A 790kg car moving at 7 m/s takes a turn around a circle with a radius of 20 m. Determined the net force (in Newton’s) acting up
prisoha [69]

1935.5 N is the "net force" acting on a car.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,  

Mass of the car is 790 kg.

Velocity of the car is 7 m/s. (v)

It turned around with 20 m. (r)  

We know that, Net force = m × a

\text { Here, acceleration of the car is radial acceleration } a_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{v^{2}}{r}

\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{7^{2}}{20}

\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{49}{20}

a_{\text {rad }}=2.45 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

Now, Net force = m × a

Net force = 790 × 2.45

Net force = 1935.5 N

A person who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh ____ pounds on the moon.
enot [183]

Answer:

25lb

Explanation:

You haven't changed (you are made up of the same atoms), but the force exerted on you is different. Physicists like to say that your mass hasn't changed, only your weight.

A fire helicopter carries a 580-kg bucket of water at the end of a 20.0-m long cable. Flying back from a fire at a constant spee
inn [45]

Answer:

F = 41,954 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of bucket = 580 Kg

length of the cable = 20 m

velocity = 40 m/s

angle made = 38.0°

T cos 38° = m g..............(1)

T sin 38^0 = \dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F......(2)

dividing equation (2) by (1)

tan 38^0 = \dfrac{\dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F}{mg}

tan 38^0 = \dfrac{\dfrac{580\times 40^2}{20} + F}{580 \times 9.81}

4445.36 = \dfrac{580\times 40^2}{20} + F

F = -46400 + 4445.36

F = -41,954 N

hence, the force is acting in the opposite direction as assumed.

F = 41,954 N
