Answer:

a) 2·√10 seconds

b) Linda should be approximately 30.6 meters

c) Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark is approximately 6.325 m/s

Explanation:

The speed with which Linda is running = 8.6 m/s

The point Jenny starts = The 80-m mark

The acceleration of Jenny = 1.0 m/s²

a) The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark, <em>t</em>, is given as follows

Δs = u·t + (1/2)·a·t²

Δs = Distance = 100-m - 80-m = 20-m

u = The initial velocity of Jenny = 0

a = Jenny's acceleration = 1.0 m/s²

∴ 20 = 0×t + (1/2) × 1 × t² = t²/2

20 = t²/2

t = √(20 × 2) = 2·√10

The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark = 2·√10 seconds

b) The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds, d = v × t

Given that Linda's velocity, v = 8.6 m/s, we have;

d = 8.0 × 2·√10 = 16·√10

The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds = 16·√10 meters ≈ 50.6 meters

Therefore, Linda should be approximately (50.6 - 20) meters = 30.6 meters behind Jenny when Jenny starts running

c) Jenny's speed at the 100 m mark is given as follows;

v = u + a·t

t = 2·√10 seconds, a = 1.0 m/s², u = 0

∴ v = 0×t + 1.0×2·√10 = 2·√10 ≈ 6.325

Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark ≈ 6.325 m/s

A thin rod of length 1.4 m and mass 140 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing l

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

a The kinetic energy is $KE = 0.0543 J$

b The height of the center of mass above that position is $h = 1.372 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the rod is $L = 1.4m$

The mass of the rod $m = 140 = \frac{140}{1000} = 0.140 \ kg$

The angular speed at the lowest point is $w = 1.09 \ rad/s$

Generally moment of inertia of the rod about an axis that passes through its one end is

$I = \frac{mL^2}{3}$

Substituting values

$I = \frac{(0.140) (1.4)^2}{3}$

$I = 0.0915 \ kg \cdot m^2$

Generally the kinetic energy rod is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (0.0915) (1.09)^2$

$KE = 0.0543 J$

From the law of conservation of energy

The kinetic energy of the rod during motion = The potential energy of the rod at the highest point

Therefore

$KE = PE = mgh$

$0.0543 = mgh$

$h = \frac{0.0543}{9.8 * 0.140}$

$h = 1.372 \ m$

Driving along in your car, you take your foot off the gas, and your speedometer shows a reduction in speed. Describe an inertial

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

v ’= v + v₀

a system can be another vehicle moving in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

In an inertial reference frame the speed of the vehicle is given by the Galileo transformational

v ’= v - v₀

where v 'is the speed with respect to the mobile system, which moves with constant speed, v is the speed with respect to the fixed system and vo is the speed of the mobile system.

The vehicle's speedometer measures the harvest of a fixed system on earth, in this system v decreases, for a system where v 'increases it has to be a system in which the mobile system moves in the negative direction of the x axis, whereby the transformation ratio is

v ’= v + v₀

Such a system can be another vehicle moving in the opposite direction.

How much heat is needed to melt 13.74 kg of silver that is initially at 20°C?

salantis [7]

Answer:

$Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J$

Explanation:

As we know that melting point of silver is

T = 961.8 degree C

Latent heat of fusion of silver is given as

L = 111 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of silver is given as

$s = 240 J/kg C$

now we will have

$Q = ms\Delta T + mL$

$\Delta T = 961.8 - 20$

$\Delta T = 941.8 degree C$

now from above equation

$Q = (13.74)(240)(941.8) + (13.74)(111 \times 10^3)$

$Q = 3.1 \times 10^6 + 1.53 \times 10^6$

$Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J$

The average lifetime of μ-mesons with a speed of 0.95c is measured to be 6 x 10^6 s. Find the average lifetime of μ-mesons in a

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

19.2*10^6 s

Explanation:

The equation for time dilation is:

$t = \frac{t'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$

Then, if it is observed to have a life of 6*10^6 s, and it travels at 0.95 c:

$t = \frac{6*10^6}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.95c)^2}{c^2}}} = 19.2*10^6 s$

It has a lifetime of 19.2*10^6 s when observed from a frame of reference in which the particle is at rest.

Hydroelectric power relies on the transfer of energy from waves through what medium

Sedaia [141]

Through the medium of electromagnetism, energy from waves get transferred which a hydroelectric power plant heavily rely on. The turbine eventually converts the energy from the waves into mechanical energy which is transformed to electrical energy using a generator.
