Answer:

30 m

Explanation:

Let's list out the known variables that we are given in this question.

  • v₀ = 15 m/s
  • v = 0 m/s
  • t = 4 s

We are trying to solve for displacement in the x-direction.

  • Δx = ?

Find which constant acceleration equation contains all 4 of these variables.

  • \displaystyle \triangle x = \Big (\frac{v+v_0}{2} \Big ) t

Plug the known values into the equation and solve for delta x.

  • \displaystyle \triangle x = \Big (\frac{0+15}{2} \Big ) \cdot 4
  • \displaystyle \triangle x = \Big (\frac{15}{2} \Big ) \cdot 4  
  • \displaystyle \triangle x =\frac{60}{2}
  • \triangle x = 30

The car goes 30 m after the driver begins to brake.

A copper sphere was moving at 40 m/s when it hit another object. This caused all of the KE to be converted into thermal energy f
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Temperature increase = 2.1 [C]

Explanation:

We need to identify the initial data of the problem.

v = velocity of the copper sphere = 40 [m/s]

Cp = heat capacity = 387 [J/kg*C]

The most important data given is the fact that when the shock occurs kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy, therefore it will have to be:

E_{k}=Q\\ E_{k}= kinetic energy [J]\\Q=thermal energy [J]\\Re-employment values and equalizing equations\\\\\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}=m*C_{p}*dT  \\The masses are canceled \\\\dT=\frac{v^{2}}{C_{p} *2} \\dT=2.1 [C]

A projectile is fired from the ground (you can assume the initial height is the same as the ground) in a field so there are no o
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

A) 112 m. B) 27.2 m C) 41.1 m/s i + 13.4 m/s j  D) 43.2 m/s

Explanation:

A) Once fired, no external forces act on the projectile in the x-direction, so it keeps moving to the right at constant speed, which is the projection on the x-axis of  the initial velocity vector:

v₀ₓ = v₀* cos 33º = 49 m/s* cos 33º = 41.1 m/s

In the y-direction, the component of the velocity can be found as the projection of v₀ on the y-axis, as follows:

v₀y = v₀* sin 33º = 49 m/s* sin 33º = 26.7 m/s

Both velocities are independent each other, as no one has a projection on the other.

In the vertical direction, the  projectile is in free fall all time, under the influence of gravity , which accelerates it downward.

So, at any time, in the vertical direction, the velocity can be calculated as follows:

vfy = v₀y -g*t (same equation as for an object thrown upwards)

When the object is at its maximum height, the velocity, in the vertical direction, will be momentarily zero, so we can find the time when this happens as follows:

vfy= 0 ⇒ v₀y = g*t ⇒ t = v₀y / g = 26.7 m/s / 9.8 m/s² = 2.72 s

As the time is the same for both movements, we can replace this value in the expression for the displacement x at constant speed, as follows:

x = v₀ₓ* t = 41.1 m/s* 2.72 s = 112 m

B) Like above, as the time is the same for both movements, we can find the time for the instant that the projectile hit the wall, as follows:

x = v₀ₓ* t ⇒ 55. 8 m = 41.1 m/s * t

⇒ t = 55. 8 m / 41.1 m/s = 1.36 s

We can replace this value of t in the equation for the vertical displacement, as follows:

Δy = v₀y*t -1/2*g*t² = (26.7m/s*1.36s) - 1/2*9.8m/s²*(1.36s)² = 27.2 m

C) The velocity of the projectile, at any time, has two components, one horizontal and one vertical.

As explained above, x-component is constant, equal to v₀x:

vx = v₀x i = 41.1 m/s i

For vy, we can apply acceleration definition, using the value of v₀y and t that we have just found:

vfy = voy - g*t = 26.7 m/s - 9.8m/s*1.36 sec = 13.4 m/s

vfy = 13.4 m/s j

v = 41.1 m/s i + 13.4 m/s j

D) Finally, in order to get the speed of the projectile when it hit the wall, we need just to find the magnitude of the velocity, as we get the magnitude of any vector given its vertical and horizontal components:

v = √(41.1 m/s)² +(13.4 m/s)² =43.2 m/s

A​ right-circular cylindrical tank of height 8 ft and radius 4 ft is laying horizontally and is full of fuel weighing 52 ​lb/ft3
tresset_1 [31]

Given:

Height of tank = 8 ft

and we need to pump fuel weighing 52 lb/ ft^{3} to a height of 13 ft above the tank top

Solution:

Total height = 8+13 =21 ft

pumping dist = 21 - y

Area of cross-section = \pi r^{2} =  \pi 4^{2} =16\pi ft^{2}

Now,

Work done required = \int_{0}^{8} 52\times 16\pi (21 - y)dy

                                  = 832\pi \int_{0}^{8} (21 - y)dy

                                  = 832\pi([ 21y ]_{0}^{8} - [\frac{y^{2}}{2}]_{0}^{8}\\)

                                  = 113152\pi = 355477 ft-lb

Therefore work required to pump the fuel is 355477 ft-lb
