A 5 kg rock is dropped down a vertical mine shaft. How long does it take to reach the bottom, 79 meters below?

Physics

likoan [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The time for the rock to reach the bottom is 4.02 seconds.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the rock, m = 5 kg

height of the rock fall, h = 79 meters

The time to drop to the given height is given by;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

where;

t is the time to fall to the bottom

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t =  \sqrt{\frac{2*79}{9.8} }\\\\t = 4.02 \ s

Therefore, the time for the rock to reach the bottom is 4.02 seconds.

In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. the height of the counter is 1.15 m. the mug
yarga [219]

<span>A.    </span>Let’s say the horizontal component of the velocity is vx and the vertical is vy. <span>
Initially at t=0 (as the mug leaves the counter) the components are v0x and v0y. 
<span>v0y = 0 since the customer slides it horizontally so applied force is in the x component only.

<span>The equations for horizontal and vertical projectile motion are:
x = x0 + v0x t 
y = y0 + v0y t - 1/2 g t^2 = y0 - 1/2 g t^2 </span></span></span>

Setting the origin to be the end corner of the counter so that x0=0 and y0=0, hence:

x = v0x t

y = - 1/2 g t^2 

Given value are: x=1.50m and y=-1.15m (y is negative since mug is going down)

<span>1.50m = v0x t    ---->  v0x= 1.50/t</span>

<span>-1.15m = -(1/2) (9.81) t^2    -----> t =0.4842 s</span>

Calculating for v0x:

v0x = 3.10 m/s

<span>B.    </span>v0x is constant since there are no other horizontal forces so, v0x=vx=3.10m/s

vy can be calculated from the formula:

<span>vy = v0y + at         where a=-g (negative since going down)</span>

vy = -gt = -9.81 (0.4842)

vy = -4.75 m/s

 

Now to get the angle below the horizontal, tan(90-Ø) = -vx/vy

tan(90-Ø )= 3.1/4.75

Ø = 56.87˚<span> below the horizontal</span>

Fe₂O3<br> + co<br> →<br> Fe3O4 + CO₂
Goryan [66]

Explanation:

                    Fe₂O₃  + CO  → Fe₃O₄ + CO₂

Balancing the equation above, we can derive simple mathematical equations that are very easy to solve.

             aFe₂O₃  + bCO  → cFe₃O₄ + dCO₂

a,b,c and d are the coefficients needed to balance the equation above;

  Conserving Fe; 2a = 3c

                       O: 3a + b = 4c + 2d

                        C: b = d

 let a = 1;

      c = \frac{2}{3}

      Since b = d

                  3a + d = 4c + 2d

                    3a = 4c + 2d - d

                     3a = 4c + d

           a = 1, c = \frac{2}{3}

                    3 = 4 x \frac{2}{3}  +  d

                   d = \frac{1}{3}

                    b = \frac{1}{3}

multiplying a, b, c and d by 3:

            a = 3    b = 1     c = 2   and d = 1

                  3Fe₂O₃  + CO  → 2Fe₃O₄ + CO₂

rank the reservoirs of freshwater on earth by volume, with that containing the highest volume on top.
lukranit [14]

The freshwater reservoirs on earth are ranked by volume, with the one with the biggest volume at the top is-

1. ice caps; 2. groundwater; 3. lakes; 4. rivers.

<h3>Explain the freshwater reservoirs on earth?</h3>

The atmosphere, the earth's surface, and the earth's interior are the three main locations where water can be kept.

  • Oceans, glacier ice, underground, lakes, soil humidity, living organisms, atmospheric atmosphere, and rivers are examples of these reservoirs, which are used to store water.
  • There is an estimated 1.386 billion km3 (330 million cubic miles) of water on Earth, of which 97.5% is salt water and 2.5% is fresh water.
  • Only 0.3% of a fresh water is liquid at the surface.
  • More than 70% of freshwater is utilized for agriculture in the majority of the world's areas.
  • An estimated 50% increase in agricultural output and a 15% increase in water flows are needed by 2050 to feed a globe of 9 billion people.

Thus, the freshwater reservoirs on earth are ranked by volume, with the one with the biggest volume at the top is-

  • 1. ice caps
  • 2. groundwater
  • 3. lakes
  • 4. rivers
