Two boys are at the top of a waterslide at Seven Peaks Water Park. One boy (boy A) slips off the top of the tower and falls unob

structed into the pool below. At the same moment the other boy (boy B) starts sliding down the slide and lands in the same pool. Ignoring air resistance and friction, which boy will splash into the water first and which will have the greater speed when he hits the water?

Answer: boy B, same

Explanation:

Given

One boy trips off the waterslide while the other starts sliding down

As there is no horizontal velocity, both boys have to travel the same vertical distance.

Their starting vertical velocity is zero and they need to travel the same vertical distance. Therefore, both boys splash water with the same velocity.

The time taken by boy B is more than boy A as boy B will travel some horizontal distance due to slide which will increase its time to reach the bottom.

How long does it take to raise the temperature of the air in a good-sized living room (3.00m×5.00m×8.00m) by 10.0∘C? Note that t

QveST [7]

Answer : The time required is, 16.1 minutes.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the amount of heat required to increase the temperature is:

$Q=mC\Delta T\\\\Q=\rho VC\Delta T$

$(m=\rho V)$

where,

Q = amount of heat required = ?

m = mass

$\rho$ = density of air = $1.20kg/m^3$

V = volume of air

C = specific heat of air = $1006J/kg^oC$

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $10.0^oC$

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

$Q=\rho VC\Delta T$

$Q=(1.20kg/m^3)\times (3.00m\times 5.00m\times 8.00m)\times (1006J/kg^oC)\times (10.0^oC)$

$Q=1.449\times 10^6J$

Now we have to calculate the time required.

Formula used :

$t=\frac{Q}{P}$

where,

t = time required = ?

Q = amount of heat required = $1.449\times 10^6J$

P = power = 1500 W

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

$t=\frac{1.449\times 10^6J}{1500W}$

$t=966s\times \frac{1min}{60s}=16.1min$

Thus, the time required is, 16.1 minutes.

A roller coaster begins at the top of a hillIf it accelerates at the rate of 2m/s ^2 And has a mass of 2000kg, what net force is

Luden [163]

The correct answer to the question is : 4000 N

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the mass of the roller coaster is given as m = 2000 kg

The acceleration of the roller coaster is given as a = 2m/s2

We are asked to calculate the net force acting on the roller coaster.

From Newton's second laws of motion,we know that net external force acting on a particle is equal to the product of mass with acceleration of the particle.

Mathematically it is written as-

F = ma

Hence,net force acting on the roller coaster is calculated as-

F = 2000Kg×2m/s2

= 4000 N.

Here, Newton (N) is the unit of force.

Hence,net force acting on the roller coaster is 4000 N.

A basketball player standing under the hoop shoots the ball straight up with an initial velocity of v0Part (a) What is the maxim

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Maximum height will be $h=\sqrt{\frac{v_0^2}{2g}}$

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity through which basketball is thrown $=v_0$

Acceleration due to gravity $=g\ m/sec^2$

At maximum height velocity will be zero

So final velocity v = 0 m /sec

According to third equation of motion $v^2=u^2+2gh$

$0^2=v_0^2-2gh$ ( Negative sign is due to upward acceleration )

$h=\sqrt{\frac{v_0^2}{2g}}$

A pendulum bob executing simple harmonic motion has 2cm and 12Hz as amplitude and frequency respectively. Calculate the period o

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude is extraneous information for this question.

Period (T) is simply a measure of time (how long it takes to complete a full cycle).

The frequency (f), is the reciprocal (how many cycles it can complete per unit of time).

The frequency reported is 12Hz. Hz is a unit meaning "cycles per second"

Thus 12cycles = 1second.

To find the number of seconds per cycle, simply create the other unit fraction and simplify:

$T=\frac{1second}{12cycles}\\T=0.8\bar{3}\frac{seconds}{cycle}\\$

$T=0.83seconds$
