Answer:

the average force the blade exerts on the log is 1791.05 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ax head, m = 4 kg

speed of the ax, v = 3 m/s

depth traveled into the log, d = 0.01 m

The time to traveled through the depth;

$s = (\frac{u+v}{2} )t\\\\0.01 = (\frac{0+3}{2} )t\\\\0.01 = 1.5t\\\\t = \frac{0.01}{1.5} \\\\t = 0.0067 \ s$

The average force the blade exerts on the log;

$F = ma=\frac{mv}{t} = \frac{4 \times 3}{0.0067} = 1791.05 \ N \\\\$

Therefore, the average force the blade exerts on the log is 1791.05 N.

Answer:

When fired from (1,3) the rocket will hit the target at (4,0)

When fired from (2, 2.5) the rocket will hit the target at (12,0)

When fired from (2.5, 2.4) the rocket will hit the target at $(\frac{35}{2},0)$

When fired from (4,2.25) the rocket will hit the target at (40,0)

Explanation:

All of the parts of the problem are solved in the same way, so let's start with the first point (1,3).

Let's assume that the rocket's trajectory will be a straight line, so what we need to do here is to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane and then find the x-intercept of such a line.

In order to find the line tangent to the graph of the trajectory of the airplane, we need to start by finding the derivative of such a function:

$y=2+\frac{1}{x}$

$y=2+x^{-1}$

$y'=-x^{-2}$

$y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=1, so:

$y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

$y'=-\frac{1}{(1)^{2}}$

m=y'=-1

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

$y-3=-1(x-1})$

$y-3=-1x+1$

$y=-x+1+3$

$y=-x+4$

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

$-x+4=0$

and solve for x

x=4

so, when fired from (1,3) the rocket will hit the target at (4,0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (2, 2.5)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=2, so:

$y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

$y'=-\frac{1}{(2)^{2}}$

$m=y'=-\frac{1}{4}$

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

$y-2.5=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2})$

$y-2.5=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}$

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{5}{2}$

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+3$

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

$-\frac{1}{4}x+3=0$

and solve for x

x=12

so, when fired from (2, 2.5) the rocket will hit the target at (12,0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (2.5, 2.4)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=2.5, so:

$y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

$y'=-\frac{1}{(2.5)^{2}}$

$m=y'=-\frac{4}{25}$

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

$y-2.4=-\frac{4}{25}(x-2.5})$

$y-2.4=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{2}{5}$

$y=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{2}{5}+2.4$

$y=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{14}{5}$

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

$-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{14}{5}=0$

and solve for x

$x=\frac{35}{20}$

so, when fired from (2.5, 2.4) the rocket will hit the target at $(\frac{35}{2},0)$

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (4, 2.25)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=4, so:

$y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

$y'=-\frac{1}{(4)^{2}}$

$m=y'=-\frac{1}{16}$

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

$y-2.25=-\frac{1}{16}(x-4})$

$y-2.25=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{1}{4}$

$y=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{1}{4}+2.25$

$y=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{5}{2}$

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

$-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{5}{2}=0$

and solve for x

$x=40$

so, when fired from (4,2.25) the rocket will hit the target at (40,0)

A swimming pool is 25.0 ft. long, 18.5 ft. wide, and 9.0 ft. deep. When filled, the water level is 7.0 inches from the top. Disi

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

1.9841256 kg

Explanation:

Given;

Length of the swimming pool = 25.0 ft = 7.62 m ( 1 ft = 0.3048 m )

Width of the swimming pool = 18.5 ft = 5.64 m

Depth of the pool = 9.0 ft =

Total depth of the water in the pool when filled = 9 ft - 7 inches = 2.56 m

now,

Volume of the water in the pool = Length × Width × Depth

or

Volume of the water in the pool = 7.62 × 5.64 × 2.56 = 110.2292 m³

also,

1 m³ = 1000 L

thus,

110.2292 m³ = 110229.2 L

also it is given that 18 mg of Cl is added to 1 liter of water

therefore,

In 110229.2 L of water Cl added will be = 110229.2 × 18 = 1984125.6 mg

or

= 1.9841256 kg

A 1.5 kg ball has a velocity of 12 m/s just before it strikes the floor. Find the impulse on the ball if the ball bounces up wit

Andru [333]

Hi there!

Recall:

Impulse = Change in momentum

I = Δp = mΔv = m(vf - vi)

Let the direction TOWARDS the floor be POSITIVE, and AWAY be NEGATIVE.

Plug in the givan values:

Δp = 1.5(-10 - 12) = -33 Ns

**OR, the magnitude: |-33| = 33 Ns
