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

Long Snorkel: Inhalation of a breath occurs when the muscles surrounding the human lungs move to increase the volume of the lung
Mila [183]

Answer:

h = 0.362 m

Explanation:

The pressure equation with depth is

      P₂ = P_{atm} +ρ g h

The gauge pressure is

       P2 -  P_{atm} = ρ g h

This is the pressure that muscles can create

       P₂ -  P_{atm}= 3740 Pa

But still the person needs a small pressure for the transfer of gases, so

      P₂ -  P_{atm} = 3740 - 188 = 3552 Pa

This is the maximum pressure difference, where the person can still breathe,

Let's clear the height

      h = 3552 / ρ g

      h = 3552 / (1000 9.8)

      h = 0.362 m

This is the maximum depth where the person can still breathe normally.

Water is discharged from a pipeline at a velocity v (in ft/sec) given by v = 1306p(1/2), where p is the pressure (in psi). If th
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}

Explanation:

Note that acceleration is the rate change of velocity i.e

acceleration=\frac{change in velocity}{change in time}\\a=\frac{dv}{dt} \\.

Since the velocity is giving as a variable dependent on the pressure, we have to differentiate implicitly both side with respect to time,i.e

\frac{dv}{dt}=1306*(1/2)p^{-1/2}\frac{dp}{dt} \\

if we substitute value for the pressure as giving in the question and also since the rate change of pressure is 0.354psi/sec, we have

a=653*0.1667*0.354\\

a=\frac{dv}{dt}=653(36)^{-1/2}*0.354\\  a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}

a car travelling at 50km/h from rest covers a distance of 10km in 40minutes. Calculate the acceleration​
Margarita [4]

Answer:

9.67\cdot 10^{-3}m/s^2

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

For the car in this problem:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

v=50 km/h \cdot \frac{1000}{3600}=13.9 m/s is the final velocity

s = 10 km = 10 000 m is the displacement

Solving for a, we find:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{13.9^2}{2(10000)}=9.67\cdot 10^{-3}m/s^2
