First, calculate how long the ball is in midair. This will depend only on the vertical displacement; once the ball hits the ground, projectile motion is over. Since the ball is thrown horizontally, it originally has no vertical speed.
t = time vi = initial vertical speed = 0m/s g = gravity = -9.8m/s^2 y = vertical displacement = -45m
y = .5gt^2 [Basically, in this equation we see how long it takes the ball to fall 45m] -45m = .5 (-9.8m/s^2) * t^2 t = 3.03 s
Now we know that the ball is midair for 3.03s. Since horizontal speed is constant we can simply use:
x = horizontal displacement v = horizontal speed = 25m/s t = time = 3.03s
x = v*t x = 25m/s * 3.03s = 75.76 m Thus, the ball goes about 75 or 76 m from the base of the cliff.
The hardest part of the job is to find the right formula to use, and write it down. You've already done that ! The rest is just turning the crank until an answer falls out.
You wrote. E = m g h.
Beautiful.
Now divide each side by (g h), and you'll have the formula for mass:
m = E / (g h).
You know all the numbers on the right side. Just pluggum in, do the arithmetic, and you'll have the mass.
Answer:
Since the maximum thermal efficiency is higher than 55 percent, there can be a power cycle with these reservoir temperature with an efficiency higher than 55 percent.
Explanation:
The maximum thermal efficiency is determined from the given temperature
nth Carnot = 1- TL/TH
Where TL= 17+273= 290k
TH= 627*273= 900K.
nth Carnot = 1- 290/900 = 0.68
0.68*100 = 68 percent
It shows the ray passing through the boundary.
