Explanation:
Given that,
Weight = 280 lbs
Height = 60 ft
Power = 3.50 hp
(a). We need to calculate the work done by the boom on the fireman
Using formula of work done
Put the value into the formula
The work done by the boom is 21.59 Btu.
(b). We know that,
1 hp = 550 ft lbf
So,
We need to calculate the time
Using formula of time
Put the value into the formula
The time is 8.7 sec.
Hence, This is the required solution.
Answer:
a) a = 2.35 m/s^2
Explanation:
(a) In order to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the ball, you use the following formula, for the position of the ball:
(1)
x: position of the ball after t seconds = 87 m
t: time = 8.6 s
a: acceleration of the ball = ?
vo: initial velocity of the ball = 0 m/s
You solve the equation (1) for a:
You replace the values of the parameters in the previous equation:
The acceleration of the ball is 2.35 m/s^2
