Answer:

c 275 m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Final velocity  = 73.5m/s

Unknown:

Height of fall  = ?

Solution:

Since the body is falling from rest, U = 0 or initial velocity is 0m/s. Then we use one of the kinematics equation to solve this problem.

           V²   = U²  + 2gH

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

           73.5²   = 0²  +  (2 x 9.8 x h)

         5402.25 = 19.6h

                h = 275.6m

A student measures the speed of yellow light in water to be 2.00x10^8
max2010maxim [7]

NOTE: The given question is incomplete.

<u>The complete question is given below.</u>

A student measures the speed of yellow light in water to be 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s. Calculate the speed of light in air.

Solution:

Speed of yellow light in water (v) = 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Refractive Index of water with respect to air (μ) = 4/3

Refractive Index = Speed of yellow light in air / Speed of yellow light in water

Or,  The speed of yellow light in air = Refractive Index × Speed of yellow light in water

or,                                           = (4/3) × 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s

or,                                           = 2.67 × 10⁸ m/s ≈ 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

Hence, the required speed of yellow light in the air will be 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s.

An athlete is running a 400m race around a 400m track. On the backstretch the athlete's velocity is 8m/s but he is running into
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

33 N

Explanation:

v = Velocity of fluid = 8+2 = 10 m/s

\rho = Density of fluid = 1.2 kg/m³

C = Coefficient of drag = 1.1

A = Cross sectional area = 0.5 m²

Drag force is given by

F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times 1.1\times 0.5\times (8+2)^2\\\Rightarrow F=33\ N

The drag force on the athlete is 33 N

In anticipation of a long 10o upgrade, a bus driver accelerates at a constant rate of 5 ft/s^2 while still on a level section of
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The distance (in miles) by the bus up the hill when its speed decreased to 50 mph is approximately 1.353 miles

Explanation:

The parameters of the motion of the driver are;

The upgrade of the road, θ = 10°

The rate of constant acceleration of the bus driver = 5 ft./s²

The speed of the bus as it begins to go up the hill, v₁ = 80 mph = 117.3228 ft./s

The speed of the driver at a point on the hill, v₂ = 50 mph ≈ 73.32677 ft./s

The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 32.1740 ft./s²

Therefore, we have;

The acceleration due to gravity down the incline plane, gₓ = g·sinθ

∴ gₓ = g·sin(θ) ≈ 32.1740 ft./s² × sin(10°) ≈ 5.587 ft/s²

The net acceleration of the bus, on the incline plane, a_{Net} = gₓ - a = 5.587 ft./s² -5 ft./s² = 0.587 ft./s²

The vertical component of the velocity, v_y = v × sin(θ)

∴ v_y = 117.3228 ft./s × sin(10°) ≈ 20.37289 ft./s

vₓ = 117.3228 ft./s × cos(10°) ≈ 115.5404 ft./s

The velocity of the car, v₂, on the inclined plane is given as follows;

v₂ = v₁ - a_{Net} × t

∴ t = (v₁ - v₂)/a_{Net}  = (117.3228 ft./s - 73.32677 ft./s)/(0.587 ft./s²) ≈ 74.95 s

The distance covered, 's', is given as follows;

s = v₁·t - 1/2·a_{Net}·t²

∴ s = 117.3228 × 74.95 - 1/2 × 0.587 × 74.95² ≈ 7144.6069 ft.

The distance travelled up the hill, s ≈ 7144.6069 ft. ≈ 1.3531452 miles ≈ 1.353 miles
