Answer:

We can also prove the conservation of mechanical energy of a freely falling body by the work-energy theorem, which states that change in kinetic energy of a body is equal to work done on it. i.e. W=ΔK. And ΔE=ΔK+ΔU. Hence the mechanical energy of the body is conserved

A ball is thrown down vertically with an initial speed of 20 m/s from a height of 60 m. Find (a) its speed just before it strike

vivado [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ball is thrown downward:

initial velocity, u = - 20 m/s (downward)

height, h = - 60 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s^2 (downward)

(a) Let the speed of the ball as it hits the ground is v.

Use third equation of motion

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$

$v^{2}=(-20)^{2}+2\times 9.8 \times 60$

v = 39.69 m/s

(b) Let t be the time taken

Use First equation of motion

v = u + a t

- 39.69 = - 20 - 9.8 t

t = 2 second

Now the ball is thrown upwards:

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s (upward)

height, h = - 60 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s^2 (downward)

Use third equation of motion

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$

$v^{2}=(-20)^{2}+2\times 9.8 \times 60$

v = 39.69 m/s

(d) Let t be the time taken

Use First equation of motion

v = u + a t

- 39.69 = + 20 - 9.8 t

t = 6.09 second

Is it possible to produce a continuous and oriented aramid fiber–epoxy matrix composite having longitudinalandtransverse moduli

Masja [62]

Answer:

Not possible

Explanation:

$E_{cl}$ = longitudinal modulus of elasticity = 35 Gpa

$E_{ct}$ = transverse modulus of elasticity = 5.17 Gpa

$E_m$ = Epoxy modulus of elasticity = 3.4 Gpa

$V_{\rho l}$ = Volume fraction of fibre (longitudinal)

$V_{\rho t}$ = Volume fraction of fibre (transvers)

$E_f$ = Modulus of elasticity of aramid fibers = 131 Gpa

Longitudinal modulus of elasticity is given by

$E_{cl}=E_m(1-V_{\rho l})+E_fV_{\rho l}\\\Rightarrow 35=3.4(1-V_{\rho l})+131V_{\rho l}\\\Rightarrow 35=3.4-3.4V_{\rho l}+131V_{\rho l}\\\Rightarrow V_{\rho l}=\frac{35-3.4}{131-3.4}\\\Rightarrow V_{\rho l}=0.24764$

Transverse modulus of elasticity is given by

$E_{ct}=\frac{E_mE_f}{(1-V_{\rho t})E_f+V_{\rho t}E_m}\\\Rightarrow 5.17=\frac{3.4\times 131}{(1-V_{\rho t})131+V_{\rho t}3.4}\\\Rightarrow \frac{3.4\times 131}{5.17}-131=-127.6V_{\rho t}\\\Rightarrow V_{\rho t}=\frac{\frac{3.4\times 131}{5.17}-131}{-127.6}\\\Rightarrow V_{\rho t}=0.35148$

$V_{\rho l}\neq V_{\rho t}$

Hence, it is not possible to produce a continuous and oriented aramid fiber.

When you jump, you exert a pushing force against the ground. Gravity pulls you back down. Why can a person jump higher on the mo

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

This is because the force of gravity is much less on the moon than on the earth, therefore the person wont be pulled down much and will jump higher
