You are part of a searchand- rescue mission that has been called out to look for a lost explorer. You’ve found the missing explo

rer, but you're separated from him by a 200- m -high cliff and a 30- m -wide raging river. To save his life, you need to get a 5.6 kg package of emergency supplies across the river. Unfortunately, you can't throw the package hard enough to make it across. Fortunately, you happen to have a 0.70 kg rocket intended for launching flares. Improvising quickly, you attach a sharpened stick to the front of the rocket, so that it will impale itself into the package of supplies, then fire the rocket at ground level toward the supplies. What minimum speed must the rocket have just before impact in order to save the explorer’s life?

Answer:

v_r = 42.3 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the width of the river is given as

w = 30 m

now the height is given as

h = 200 m

now by kinematics we have

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

200 = \frac{1}[2}(9.81)t^2

t = 6.38 s

now the speed required to cross the river is given as

v = \frac{w}{t}

v = \frac{30}{6.38}

v = 4.7 m/s

now we can use momentum conservation to find the speed of rocket just before collision

m_r v_r = (m_r + m) v

0.70(v_r) = (5.6 + 0.70)(4.7)

v_r = 42.3 m/s

You are raising up a big bucket of water from a 25.9 m deep well. The combined mass of the water and the bucket is 13.9 kg. The
Mars2501 [29]

The total work done is  5980 Joules and the power expended is 57 Watts.

<h3>What is work done?</h3>

The work done is the work done in the gravitational field as the bucket is raised up Thus work required to remove the bucket Wb;

Wb = 13.9 kg * 25.9 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3530 Joules

Height of the center of mass of chain = 25.9 / 2 = 12.95 m  

Work done by the chain Wc;

Wc = 12.95 * 19.3 * 9.8 = 2450 Joules  

Total work = 3530 + 2450 = 5980 Joules

Power expended = W / t = 5980 J / 105 sec = 57 J/s = 57 Watts
