A food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air fr

iction), what will the velocity of the packet be when it reaches the ground? Also, at what height will the packet have half this velocity?

1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s

The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration a=g=9.8 m/s^2 directed downward, initial vertical position d=750 m, and initial vertical velocity v_0 = 0. We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

v_f^2 -v_i^2 =2ad

substituting, we find

v_f^2 = 2ad\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(750 m)}=121.2 m/s

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m

We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

v_f=\frac{121.2 m/s}{2}=60.6 m/s

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting v_f with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:

v_f^2-v_i^2=2ad\\d=\frac{v_f^2}{2a}=\frac{(60.6 m/s)^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=187.4 m

Which means that the heigth of the packet was

h=750 m-187.4 m=562.6 m

Len [333]

Answer:

d=5\ g/cm^3

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 100 grams

Volume of the object, V = 20 cm³

We need to find the density of the object. We know that, density is equal to mass per unit volume. So,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{100\ g}{20\ cm^3}\\\\d=5\ g/cm^3

So, the density of the object is equal to 5\ g/cm^3.

An automobile tire is inflated with air originally at 10.0°C and normal atmospheric pressure. During the process, the air is com
solong [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.81\times 10^5\ Pa

(b) 4.19\times 1065\ Pa

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • T_1 = The first temperature of air inside the tire = 10^\circ C =(273+10)\ K =283\ K
  • T_2 = The second temperature of air inside the tire = 46^\circ C =(273+46)\ K= 319\ K
  • T_3 = The third temperature of air inside the tire = 85^\circ C =(273+85)\ K=358 \ K
  • V_1 = The first volume of air inside the tire
  • V_2 = The second volume of air inside the tire = 30\% V_1 = 0.3V_1
  • V_3 = The third volume of air inside the tire = 2\%V_2+V_2= 102\%V_2=1.02V_2
  • P_1 = The first pressure of air inside the tire = 1.01325\times 10^5\ Pa

<u>Assume:</u>

  • P_2 = The second pressure of air inside the tire
  • P_3 = The third pressure of air inside the tire
  • n = number of moles of air

Since the amount pof air inside the tire remains the same, this means the number of moles of air in the tire will remain constant.

Using ideal gas equation, we have

PV = nRT\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{PV}{T}=nR = constant\,\,\,(\because n,\ R\ are\ constants)

Part (a):

Using the above equation for this part of compression in the air, we have

\therefore \dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow P_2 = \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}\times \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\times P_1\\\Rightarrow P_2 = \dfrac{V_1}{0.3V_1}\times \dfrac{319}{283}\times 1.01325\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow P_2 =3.81\times 10^5\ Pa

Hence, the pressure in the tire after the compression is 3.81\times 10^5\ Pa.

Part (b):

Again using the equation for this part for the air, we have

\therefore \dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}=\dfrac{P_3V_3}{T_3}\\\Rightarrow P_3 = \dfrac{V_2}{V_3}\times \dfrac{T_3}{T_2}\times P_2\\\Rightarrow P_3 = \dfrac{V_2}{1.02V_2}\times \dfrac{358}{319}\times 3.81\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow P_3 =4.19\times 10^5\ Pa

Hence, the pressure in the tire after the car i driven at high speed is 4.19\times 10^5\ Pa.

On a hot summer day in the state of Washington while kayaking, I saw several swimmers jump from a railroad bridge into the Snoho
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: part a: 19.62m

part b: 19.62 m/s

part a: 2.83 secs

Explanation:If the air resistance is ignored then the swimmer experience free fall under gravity hence

u=0

a=9.81 m/s2

t=2 secs

s=ut+0.5at^2

s=h

h=0*2+0.5*9.81*2^2\\h=19.62 meters

Part b

v=u+at\\v=0+9.81*2\\v=19.62m/s

Part c

now we have h=2*19.62=39.24

39.24=0+0.5*9.81*t^2\\t^2=8\\t=2.83 secs
