Answer:

Explanation:

equation for pendulum period is

$\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{g}}}$

and it depends only on its length (and gravity which is not on the list of answers)

A ball rolls off the end of a horizontal table that is 4 meters off the ground. It is measured that the ball lands 3 meters away

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The speed at which the ball rolled off the end of the table is 3.3 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table.

The position vector of the ball can be calculated as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

When the ball reaches the ground, its position will be:

r final = (3, -4)

Then:

3 = x0 + v0x · t

-4 = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table, x0 and y0 = 0. v0y is also 0 ( see the initial velocity vector in the figure to elucidate why). Then:

3 m = v0x · t

-4 m = 1/2 · g · t²

We can solve for "t" in the equation of the y-component and use it in the equation of the x-component to obtain v0x:

-4 m = 1/2 · g · t²

-4 m = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

8 m / 9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 0.9 s

Then:

3 m = v0x · 0.9s

3 m/ 0.9 s = v0x

v0x = 3.3 m/s

The speed at which the ball roll off the end of the table is 3.3 m/s

Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average speed of 3 m/s at a rate of 550 m3/s at a location 58 m above the lake surf

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1. 0.574 kJ/kg

2. 315.7 MW

Explanation:

1. The mechanical energy per unit mass of the river is given by:

$E_{m} = E_{k} + E_{p}$

$E_{m} = \frac{1}{2}v^{2} + gh$

Where:

Ek is the kinetic energy

Ep is the potential energy

v is the speed of the river = 3 m/s

g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h is the height = 58 m

$E_{m} = \frac{1}{2}(3 m/s)^{2} + 9.81 m/s^{2}*58 m = 0.574 kJ/Kg$

Hence, the total mechanical energy of the river is 0.574 kJ/kg.

2. The power generation potential on the river is:

$P = m(t)E_{m} = \rho*V(t)*E_{m} = 1000 kg/m^{3}*550 m^{3}/s*0.574 kJ/kg = 315.7 MW$

Therefore, the power generation potential of the entire river is 315.7 MW.

I hope it helps you!

If a t-shirt gun can fire t-shirts with an initial speed of 15 m/s, what is the maximum distance (along horizontal, flat ground)

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

h = 11.47 m

Explanation:

Initial speed pf the t-shirt gun is 15 m/s

We need to find the maximum distance covered by the t-shirt. It is based on the conservation of energy. The maximum distance covered is given by :

$h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(15)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=11.47\ m$

So, it will cover a distance of 11.47 m.
