How roofs are lifted off building in tornado?

Physics
1 answer:
bekas [8.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

As a tornado or other storm system passes over a building, low pressure can tug a roof upward. When those forces surpass the force exerted by the weight of the roof, the structure flies up and is swept away by wind currents..

A toy rocket is fired vertically into the air from the ground at an initial velocity of 80 feet per second. Find the time it wil
miskamm [114]

Answer: 16.3 seconds

Explanation: Given that the

Initial velocity U = 80 ft/s

Let's first calculate the maximum height reached by using third equation of motion.

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

Where V = final velocity and H = maximum height.

Since the toy is moving against the gravity, g will be negative.

At maximum height, V = 0

0 = 80^2 - 2 × 9.81 × H

6400 = 19.62H

H = 6400/19.62

H = 326.2

Let's us second equation of motion to find time.

H = Ut - 1/2gt^2

Let assume that the ball is dropped from the maximum height. Then,

U = 0. The equation will be reduced to

H = 1/2gt^2

326.2 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t^2

326.2 = 4.905t^2

t^2 = 326.2/4.905

t = sqrt( 66.5 )

t = 8.15 seconds

The time it will take for the rocket to return to ground level will be 2t.

That is, 2 × 8.15 = 16.3 seconds

what equastion do you use to solve Riders in a carnival ride stand with their backs against the wall of a circular room of diame
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

μsmín = 0.1

Explanation:

  • There are three external forces acting on the riders, two in the vertical direction that oppose each other, the force due to gravity (which we call weight) and the friction force.
  • This friction force has a maximum value, that can be written as follows:

       F_{frmax} = \mu_{s} *F_{n} (1)

       where  μs is the coefficient of static friction, and Fn is the normal force,

       perpendicular to the wall and aiming to the center of rotation.

  • This force is the only force acting in the horizontal direction, but, at the same time, is the force that keeps the riders rotating, which is the centripetal force.
  • This force has the following general expression:

       F_{c} =  m* \omega^{2} * r (2)

       where ω is the angular velocity of the riders, and r the distance to the

      center of rotation (the  radius of the circle), and m the mass of the

      riders.

      Since Fc is actually Fn, we can replace the right side of (2) in (1), as

      follows:

     F_{frmax} = m* \mu_{s} * \omega^{2} * r (3)

  • When the riders are on the verge of sliding down, this force must be equal to the weight Fg, so we can write the following equation:

       m* g = m* \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (4)

  • (The coefficient of static friction is the minimum possible, due to any value less than it would cause the riders to slide down)
  • Cancelling the masses on both sides of (4), we get:

       g = \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (5)

  • Prior to solve (5) we need to convert ω from rev/min to rad/sec, as follows:

      60 rev/min * \frac{2*\pi rad}{1 rev} *\frac{1min}{60 sec} =6.28 rad/sec (6)

  • Replacing by the givens in (5), we can solve for μsmín, as follows:

       \mu_{smin} = \frac{g}{\omega^{2} *r}  = \frac{9.8m/s2}{(6.28rad/sec)^{2} *2.5 m} =0.1 (7)

How much work does it take to move a 50 μC charge<br> against a 12 V potential difference?
lukranit [14]
<span>work =V*Q =12*50*10^-6

The total work done will be equal to 

work = V.Q

which means 

w= 12 . 50.10^-6
Hence,
w= 0.0006 J</span>
