Answer:

1. 2.67 s

2. 0.1 m/s²

Explanation:

1. Determination of the time taken for the penguin to fall.

Height (h) of cliff = 35 m

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

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

35 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

35 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 35 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(35 / 4.9)

t = 2.67 s

Thus, it will take 2.67 s for the penguin to fall onto the head of a napping polar bear.

2. Determination of the acceleration of the penguin.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 2 m/s.

Time (t) = 20 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u)/t

a = (2 – 0)/ 20

a = 2 / 20

a = 0.1 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the penguin is 0.1 m/s²

A girl throws a rock horizontally at 10 m/s from the top of a building, 22 m above street level. Assuming free fall conditions a

MAXImum [283]

Answer:21.18 m

Explanation:

Given

initial speed u=10 m/s

height of building h=22 m

time taken to complete 22 m

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

initial vertical velocity =0

$22=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{22\times 2}{g}}$

$t=2.11 s$

Horizontal Distance moved

$R=u_x\times t$

$R=10\times 2.11$

$R=21.18 m$

A rubber balloon is filled with 1 L of air at 1 atm and 300 K and is then put into a cryogenic refrigerator at 100 K. The rubber

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are

(a) It decreases to 1/3 L

(ii) is (c) It is constant

Explanation:

to solve this, we list out the number of knowns and unknowns so as to determine the correct equation to solve the problem

The given variables are as follows

Initial volume V1 = 1L

V2 = Unknown

Initial Temperature T1 = 300K

let us assume that the balloon is perfectly elastic

At 300K the balloon is filled and it stretches to maintain 1 atmosphere

at 100K the content of the balloon cools reducing the excitement of the gas content which also reduces the pressure, however, the balloon being perfectly elastic, contracts to maintain the 1 atmospheric pressure, hence the answer to (ii) is (c) It is constant,

For (i) since we know that the pressure of the balloon is constant

by Charles Law V1/T1 =V2/T2

or V2 = (V1/T1)×T2 = $\frac{1L}{300K}$ × $100K$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ × L = L/3 hence the correct answer to (i) is 1/3L

What is the deceleration of the rocket sled if it comes to rest in 1.1 s from a speed of 1000 km/h? (such deceleration caused on

Wewaii [24]

The deceleration of the rocket sled if it comes to rest in 1.1 s from a speed of 1000 km/h is $252.52\ m/s^2$ .

The acceleration in opposite direction is known as the deceleration. Basically the deceleration is negative value of the acceleration since the negative sign depicts its opposite in direction.

The given data:

time, t = 1.1 s

initial speed, u = 1000 km/h = $\frac{2500}{9}\ m/s$
