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 projectile is fired at an upward angle of 29.7° from the top of a 108-m-high cliff with a speed of 130-m/s. What will be its
german

Answer:

79.2 m/s

Explanation:

θ = angle at which projectile is launched = 29.7 deg

a = initial speed of launch = 130 m/s

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

v₀ = initial velocity along the vertical direction = a Sinθ = 130 Sin29.7 = 64.4 m/s

y = vertical displacement = - 108 m

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

v = final speed as it strikes the ground

Using the kinematics equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a y

v² = 64.4² + 2 (-9.8) (-108)

v = 79.2 m/s
