A woman on a bridge 82.2 m high sees a raft floating at a constant speed on the river below. She drops a stone from rest in an a

ttempt to hit the raft. The stone is released when the raft has 5.04 m more to travel before passing under the bridge. The stone hits the water 2.13 m in front of the raft. Find the speed of the raft.

Answer:

0.71 m/s

Explanation:

We find the time it takes the stone to hit the water.

Using y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of bridge, u = initial speed of stone = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² (negative since it is directed downwards)and t = time it takes the stone to hit the water surface.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

y = ut - 1/2gt²

82.2 m = (0m/s)t - 1/2( -9.8 m/s²)t²

82.2 m = 0 + (4.9 m/s²)t²

82.2 m =  (4.9 m/s²)t²

t²  = 82.2 m/4.9 m/s²

t² = 16.78 s²

t = √16.78 s²

t = 4.1 s

This is also the time it takes the raft to move from 5.04 m before the bridge to 2.13 m before the bridge. So, the distance moved by the raft in time t = 4.1 s is 5.04 m - 2.13 m = 2.91 m.

Since speed = distance/time, the raft's speed v = 2.91 m/4.1 s = 0.71 m/s

USPshnik [31]
No because an atom consists of <u>two</u> main parts <em>and</em> <u>three</u> subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not affect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.

Air is cooled in a process with constant pressure of 150 kPa. Before the process begins, air has a specific volume of 0.062 m^3/
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The pressure is constant, and it is P = 150kpa.

the specific volumes are:

initial = 0.062 m^3/kg

final = 0.027 m^3/kg.

Then, the specific work can be written as:

W = \int\limits^{vf}_{vi} {Pdv} \, = P(vf - vi) = 150kPa*(0.0027 - 0.062)m^3/kg = -5.25 kPa*m^3/kg.

The fact that the work is negative, means that we need to apply work to the air in order to compress it.

Now, to write it in more common units we have that:

1 kPa*m^3 = 1000J.

-5.25 kPa*m^3/kg = -5250 J/kg.
