A volcano erupts and launches a chunk of hot magma horizontally with a speed of 252 m/s. The magma travels a horizontal distance

of 1250 m before it hits the ground. We can ignore air resistance. What is the vertical velocity of the magma when it hits the ground?

Answer:

The value is v_y  =  -48.61 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The horizontal speed is  u_x  = 252 \  m/s

    The horizontal distance is  d = 1250 \ m

Generally the time taken by the hot magma in air before landing is mathematically represented as

       t = \frac{d}{u_x}

=>    t = \frac{ 1250 }{252}

=>    t = 4.96 \  s

Generally the initial vertical velocity of the magma when it was lunched is  

    u_y = 0 \ m/ s

Then the final velocity of the magma when it hits the ground is mathematically represented s

       - v_y  =  u_y + gt

Here the negative sign mean that the direction of the velocity is towards the negative y -axis

So  

        - v_y  =  48.61 \ m/s

=>     v_y  =  -48.61 \ m/s

blagie [28]

Answer:7 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

Particle move along curve

y=\sqrt{1+x^3}

As it reaches the (2,3) its y coordinate is increasing at 14 cm/s

Differentiating y w.r.t time

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

Now at (2,3)

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3\cdot 2^2}{2\sqrt{1+2^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

14=\frac{3\times 4}{2\times \sqrt{9}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=7 cm/s

A 129-kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.61 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 65.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the platform which is a uniform disk = 129 kg

Radius of the disk rotating about vertical axis = 1.61 m

Mass of the person  standing on platform = 65.7 kg

Distance from the center of platform = 1.07 m

Mass of the dog on the platform = 27.3 kg

Distance from center of platform = 1.31 m

We have to calculate the moment of inertia.

Formula:

MOI of disk = \frac{MR^2}{2}

Moment of inertia of the person and the dog will be mr^2.

Where m and r are different for both the bodies.

So,

Moment of inertia (I_y_y )  of the system with respect to the axis yy.

⇒ I_y_y=I_d_i_s_k + I_m_a_n+I_d_o_g

⇒ I_y_y=\frac{M_d_i_s_k(R_d_i_s_k)^2}{2} +M_m(r_c)^2+M_d_o_g(R_c)^2

⇒ I_y_y=\frac{129(1.61)^2}{2} +65.7(1.07)^2+27.2(1.31)^2

⇒ I_y_y=289.088\ kg.m^2

The moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2
