A projectile is shot straight up from the earth's surface at a speed of 10,000 km/hr. how high does it go?

Naturally we assume that 10000 km/hr is initial velocity (same as being shot from a cannon), and no air resistance. With so high a velocity, the effect of diminishing gravity with increasing radius must be taken into account, so you use an energy solution. M is earth mass, r is earth radius. 
KE/m = (9000000/3600)^2/2 = 3858025 J/kg 
ΔPE/m = (PE(at height) - PE(at surface))/m = -GM/(r+h) + GM/r 
KE/m = ΔPE/m 
KE/m - GM/r = -GM/(r+h)
h = -GM / (KE/m - GM/r) - r = 335665.44 m 
(Using G = 6.673E-11 Nm^2/kg^2, M = 5.9742E24 kg, r = 6378100 m)

a ultrasonic wave at 8x10^4 Hz is emitted into a vien where the speed of sound in blood is 1570 m/s. the wave reflects off the r
Aneli [31]

Answer: 0.392 m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler shift equation is:

f'=\frac{V+V_{o}}{V-V_{s}} f

Where:

f=8(10)^{4} Hz is the actual frequency of the sound wave

f'=8.002(10)^{4} Hz is the "observed" frequency

V=1570 m/s is the speed of sound

V_{o}=0 m/s is the velocity of the observer, which is stationary

V_{s} is the velocity of the source, which are the red blood cells

Isolating V_{s}:

V_{s}=\frac{V(f'-f)}{f'}

V_{s}=\frac{1570 m/s(8.002(10)^{4} Hz-8(10)^{4} Hz)}{8.002(10)^{4} Hz}

Finally:

V_{s}=0.392 m/s

A hopper jumps straight up to a height of 1.3 m. With what velocity did he leave the floor
xxMikexx [17]

The velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is 5.1 m/s.

<h3>What is the initial velocity of the jumper?</h3>

The initial velocity of the jumper or the velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below.

Kinetic energy of the jumper at the floor = Potential energy of the jumper at the maximum height

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

  • v is the initial velocity of the jumper on the floor
  • h is the maximum height reached by the jumper
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 1.3)

v = 5.1 m/s

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:0kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision=momentum after collision

Since the momentum of the two blocks have positive sign, it means they are moving in thesame direction

Therefore we use the formula

Momentum (A)+momentum (B)=Momentum (A)+momentum (B)

25+35=60+momentum (B)

60=60+momentum (B)

Momentum (B)=60-60

Momentum (B)=0kgm/s

A student hangs a weight on a newtonmeter. The energy currently stored in the spring in the newton meter is 0.045N. The student
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

5x10^-3

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that the force needed to compress or extend a spring is directly proportional to the distance you stretch it.

Hooke's Law can be represented as

<h3> F = kx, </h3>

<em>where F is the force </em>

<em>            k is the spring constant</em>

<em>            x is the extension of the material </em>

<em />

Plug values in the equation

Step 1 find the original extension

0.045 = (400)x

x = 1.125x 10^-4 m d

Step 2 find the new extension

0.045+2 = 400(x)

2.045 = 400x

x = 5.1125x10^-3

Step 3 subtract the new extension with original

Total extension of the spring =  5.1125x10^-3 - 1.125x 10^-4 m = 5x10^-3
