Two bricks are resting on the edge of the lab table. Shirley Sheshort stands on her toes and spots the two bricks. She acquires

an intense desire to know which of the two bricks are most massive. Since Shirley is vertically challenged, she is unable to reach high enough and lift the bricks; she can however reach high enough to give the bricks a push. Discuss how the process of pushing the bricks will allow Shirley to determine which of the two bricks is most massive. What difference will Shirley observe and how can this observation lead to the necessary conclusion?​

Explanation:

  • since force =mass×acceleration and acceleration being g which is = 10m/s^2
  • the brick with the larger mass will reach the ground first since it has a greater force to resist resistance forces such as air resistance

A girl walks 5km due north,then in the direction of 60° of northeast towards her final destination.If the magnitude of her resul
storchak [24]

Answer:

4.2 km

Explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as isosceles triangle, scalene triangle, equilateral triangle and right angled triangle.

Sine rule states that for a triangle with angles A,B and C and corresponding opposite sides a, b, and c, the following formula holds:

\frac{a}{sin(A)}=\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{c}{sin(C)}

Let the starting point be A, hence the side opposite to the  angle = a = distance travelled in north east direction.

Let the point of 60° of northeast be B = 90° + (90° - 60°) = 120°, hence the side opposite to the  angle = b = resultant displacement = 8 km.

Let C be the endpoint, hence the side opposite to the  angle = c = distance travelled north = 5 km

Using sine rule:

\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{c}{sin(C)}  \\\\\frac{8}{sin(120)}=\frac{5}{sin(C)}  \\\\sin(C)=\frac{5*sin(120)}{8} =0.5412\\\\C=sin^{-1}(0.5412)=32.8^o\\\\

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (sum of angle in a triangle)

∠A + 120 + 32.8 = 180

∠A = 27.2°

\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{a}{sin(A)}  \\\\\frac{8}{sin(120)}=\frac{a}{sin(27.2)}  \\\\a=\frac{8*sin(27.2)}{sin(120)} \\\\a=4.2\ km

Therefore she travelled 4.2 km in the north east direction

Maru [420]

Answer:

a) speed when Jack sees the pot : 12.92 meters per second

b) height difference 163.115 meters

Explanation:

First to calculate te initial speed we use the acceleration formula:

a= v1-v0/t

Acceleration being gravity's acceleration (9.8 m/s^2)

v1 being the speed when Jill sees the pot

v0 when Jack sees it

and t the time between

Solving for v0 it would be

v1 - a*t = v0

replacing

58 m/s -  9.8 m/s^2 *4.6 s = v0 = 12.92 m/s

For the second question we use the position formula setting y0 and t0 as the position and time when jack sees the pot. (and setting the positive axis downward I.E. one meter below jack would be 1m not -1m)

The formula is

y0 + v0*t + 1/2 g *t^2 = yt

replacing

0m + 12.92m/s* 4.6 s + 1/2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (4.6 s)^2 = 163.115 m

A particular engine has a power output of 8 kW and an efficiency of 37%. If the engine expels 10994 J of thermal energy in each
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

(a) 17450.8 J (B) 1.239 sec

Explanation:

We have given power output =8 KW

Heat expelled = 10994 j

Efficiency =37% = 0.37

(A) We know that efficiency \eta =1-\frac{heat\ expelled}{heat\ input}

0.37=1-\frac{10994}{heat\ input}

Heat input =17450.8 J

(B) Work done by the engine is = 17450.8-10994=6456.8 j

Power output is given by 8 KW =8000 W

So time for each cycle is \frac{8000}{6456.8}=1.239 sec
