Cliff divers at Acapulco jump into the sea macias (fjm793) – Homework 3, 2d motion 19-20 – dowd – (WoffordWPHY11920 2) 4 from a

cliff 36.2 m high. At the level of the sea, a rock sticks out a horizontal distance of 11.98 m. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . With what minimum horizontal velocity must the cliff divers leave the top of the cliff if they are to miss the rock? Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

v = 7.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

horizontal distance 11.98 m

Acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s^2

Assuming initial velocity is zero

we know that

$h = \frac{gt^2}{2}$

solving for t

we have

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

substituing all value for time t

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 11.98}{9.8}}$

t = 1.56 s

we know that speed is given as

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

$v =\frac{11.98}{1.56}$

v = 7.67 m/s

A constant voltage of 12.00 V has been observed over a certain time interval across a 1.20 H inductor. The current through the i

kiruha [24]

Answer:

The time is 0.5 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage V= 12.00 V

Inductance L= 1.20 H

Current = 3.00 A

Increases rate = 8.00 A

We need to calculate change in current

$\Delta A = 8.00-3.00= 5.00\ A$

We need to calculate the time interval

Using formula of inductor

$V=L\dfrac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta t =\dfrac{L\Delta A}{V}$

Where, $\Delta A$ = change in current

V = voltage

L = inductance

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta t=\dfrac{1.20\times5.00}{12.00}$

$\Delta t=0.5\ sec$

Hence, The time is 0.5 sec.

When a fixed amount of ideal gas goes through an isobaric expansion A) its internal (thermal) energy does not change.B) the gas

Bingel [31]

<h2>Answer: its temperature must increase.</h2>

Explanation:

In an isobaric process the pressure remains constant, which means the initial pressure and the final pressure will be the same.

In addition, during this thermodynamic process, the volume of the ideal gas expands or contracts in such a way that the variation of pressure $\Delta P$ is neutralized.

Now, according to the First law of Thermodynamics that establishes the conservation of energy:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q-\Delta W$ (1)

Where:

$\Delta U$ is the internal energy

$\Delta Q$ is the heat transferred

$\Delta W$ is the work

Now, for an isobaric process:

$\Delta W=P\Delta V$ (2)

Where:

$P$ is the pressure (<u>always positive</u>)

$\Delta V$ is the volume variation of the gas

<u />

<u>Here we have two possible results:</u>

-If the gas expands (positive $\Delta V$ ), the work is positive.

-If the gas compresses (negative $\Delta V$ ), the work is negative.

In this case we are talking about the first result (work is positive).

Then, according to the above, equation (1) can be written as follows:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q - P\Delta V$ (3)

Clearing $\Delta Q$ :

$\Delta Q=\Delta U+P \Delta V$ (4)

Then, for an ideal gas in an isobaric process, part of the heat ( $Q$ ) added to the system will be used to do work (positive in this case) and the other part <u>will increase the internal energy</u>, hence <u>the temperature will increase as well.</u>

An airplane has a starting velocity of 300m/s. It then accelerates at a rate of 45m/s2 for a time of 10s. What is it's final vel

Olenka [21]

A = (v - u) / t

a = acceleration
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time

45 = (v - 300) / 10

45 × 10 = v - 300

450 + 300 = v

v = 750 m/s

Hope this helps!

The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 6800 rpm . When the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in

tangare [24]

The angular acceleration of the blade when it's switched off is (-6800 rev/min) divided by (2.8 sec) = -2,428.6 rev/(min-sec) = -40.5 rev/sec^2 .
