A ski gondola is connected to the top of a hill by a steel cable of length 600 m and diameter 1.2 cm . As the gondola comes to t

he end of its run, it bumps into the terminal and sends a wave pulse along the cable. It is observed that it took 18 s for the pulse to return. Part A What is the speed of the pulse?

Answer:

v = 66.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of steel cable, L = 600 m

Diameter = 1.2 cm

It is observed that it took 18 s for the pulse to return.

The time taken to cover 600 m will be :

t = T/2

t = 9 s

Let v be the of the pulse. We know that,

v=\dfrac{L}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{600}{9}\\\\v=66.7\ m/s

So, the speed of the pulse is equal to 66.7 m/s.

A student climbs to the top of the gym and drops a baseball to the ground below. A physics student standing nearby has a motion
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The baseball was falling during 1.733 seconds.

Explanation:

The baseball experimented a free fall, which is a particular case of uniformly accelerated motion, in which object is accelerated by gravity. In this case, we need to determine the time spent by the ball before hitting the ground (t), measured in seconds, which is determined by the following kinematic formula:

t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{g} (1)

Where:

v_{o}, v - Initial and final speeds of the baseball, measured in meters per second.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v = 17\,\frac{m}{s} and g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the time spent by the baseball is:

t = \frac{17\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s}  }{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

t = 1.733\,s

The baseball was falling during 1.733 seconds.
