Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 8 m

Final velocity (v) at 8 m above the lowest point =?

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

The velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 8)

v² = 0 + 156.8

v² = 156.8

Take the square root of both side

v = √156.8

v = 12.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point is 12.5 m/s.

The concrete slab of a basement is 11 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.20 m thick. During the winter, temperatures are nominally 17 C and

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Q = - 4312 W = - 4.312 KW

Explanation:

The rate of heat of the concrete slab can be calculated through Fourier's Law of heat conduction. The formula of the Fourier's Law of heat conduction is as follows:

Q = - kA dt/dx

Integrating from one side of the slab to other along the thickness dimension, we get:

Q = - kA(T₂ - T₁)/L

Q = kA(T₁ - T₂)/t

where,

Q = Rate of Heat Loss = ?

k = thermal conductivity = 1.4 W/m.k

A = Surface Area = (11 m)(8 m) = 88 m²

T₁ = Temperature of Bottom Surface = 10°C

T₂ = Temperature of Top Surface = 17° C

t = Thickness of Slab = 0.2 m

Therefore,

Q = (1.4 W/m.k)(88 m²)(10°C - 17°C)/0.2 m

<u>Here, negative sign shows the loss of heat.</u>

Suppose that a baseball is tossed up into the air at an initial velocity 1818\text{ m/s} m/s. The height of the baseball at t

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

13.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a baseball is tossed up into the air at an initial velocity 18 m/s. The height of the baseball at time t in seconds is given by h(t) = 18t−4.9t 2 (in meters).

a) What is the average velocity for [1,1.5]?

To calculate the velocity travelled by the ball, differentiate the function.

dh/dt = 18 - 9.8t

Substitute t for 1 in the above Differential function

dh/dt = 18 - 9.8 (1)

But dh/dt = velocity

V = 18 - 9.8

V = 8.2 m/s

Average velocity = ( U + V ) / 2

Average velocity = (18 + 8.2)/2

Average velocity = 26.2/2

Average velocity = 13.1 m/s

Two speedboats are traveling at the same speed relative to the water in opposite directions in a moving river. An observer on th

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

a) vboat = 5.95 m/s b) vriver= 1.05 m/s

Explanation:

a) As observed from the shore, the speed of the boats can be expressed as the vector sum, of the boat speed relative to the water and the river speed relative to the shore, as follows:

vb₁s = vb₁w + vrs

In one case, the boat is moving in the same direction as the water:

vb₁s = vb₁w + vrs = 7.0 m/s (1)

For the other boat, it is clear that is moving in an opposite direction:

vb₂s = vb₂w - vrs = 4.9 m/s (2)

As we know that vb₁w = vb₂w, adding both sides, we can remove the river speed from the equation, as follows:

vb₁w = vb₂w = $\frac{7.0 m/s + 4.9 m/s}{2} =5.95 m/s$

b) Replacing this value in (1) and solving for vriver, we have:

vriver = 7.0 m/s - 5.95 m/s = 1.05 m/s

(we could have arrived to the same result subtracting both sides in (1), and (2))
