Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Small storms carry strong winds along with them due to which there is generation of large waves on top of the surge. This increases the risk of flood and cause damage to the sea defenses.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, strongest hurricane to hit the United States was a small storm. It caused so much damage as it had strong winds and a massive storm surge.

A meterstick is initially standing vertically on the floor. If the meterstick falls over, with what angular velocity will it hit
notsponge [240]

L = length of the meter stick = 1 m

h = height of center of mass of stick from bottom end on the floor = L/2 = 1/2 = 0.5 m

m = mass of the meter stick

I = moment of inertia of the meter stick about the bottom end

w = angular velocity as it hits the floor

moment of inertia of the meter stick about the bottom end is given as

I = m L²/3

using conservation of energy

rotational kinetic energy of meter stick as it hits the floor = potential energy when it is vertical

(0.5) I w² = m g h

(0.5) (m L²/3) w² = m g h

( L²) w² =  6g h

( 1²) w² =  6 (9.8) (0.5)

w = 5.4 rad/s

Answer:

The maximum height that a cannonball fired at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angles is 5740.48m.

hmax = 5740.48 m

Explanation:

This is an example of parabolic launch. A cannonball is fired on flat ground at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angle and we have to calculate the maximum height that it reach.

V₀ = 420m/s and θ₀ = 53.0°

So, when the cannonball is fired it has horizontal and vertical components:

V₀ₓ = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 252.76 m/s

V₀y = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 335.43m/s

When the cannoball reach the maximum height the vertical velocity component is zero, that happens in a tₐ time:

Vy = V₀y - g tₐ = 0

tₐ = V₀y/g

tₐ = (335.43m/s)/(9.8m/s²) = 34.23s

Then, the maximum height is reached in the instant tₐ = 34.23s:

h = V₀y tₐ - 1/2g tₐ²

hmax = (335.43m/s)(34.23s)-1/2(9.8m/s²)(34.23s)²

hmax = 11481.77m - 5741.29m

hmax = 5740.48m

An athlete runs at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s. What is the velocity of the athlete relative to the ground?
dimulka [17.4K]

The relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is 5.2 m/s

The given parameters;

constant velocity of the athlete, V = 5.2 m/s

let the velocity of the ground = Vg = 0

The relative velocity concept helps us to determine the velocity of a moving object relative to a stationary observer.

The athlete is the moving object in this question while the ground is stationary.

The relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is calculated as follows;

V/V_g = V - V_g  = 5.2 - 0 = 5.2  \ m/s

Thus, the relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is 5.2 m/s
