Aunt Matilda goes to a well and throws a penny straight down the well at 3.0 m/s. She hears a splash after 0.5 seconds. How deep
nevsk [136]

Answer : The correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Explanation :

By the 2nd equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance or height = ?

u = initial velocity  = 3.0 m/s

t = time = 0.5 s

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

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

s=(3.0m/s)\times (0.5s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (0.5s)^2

s=2.73m

Therefore, the correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Guys help...A spring that obeys Hooke's law, with a spring constant k1, is cut into N identical springs, each with a spring cons
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

K2 = N*K1

Explanation:

The force you apply to each section is the same you apply to the whole spring, but the extension of each section is dX/N (if dX is the extension of the entire spring)

A lab cart with a mass of 15 kg is moving with constant velocity, v, along a straight horizontal track. A student drops a 2 kg m
lbvjy [14]

The equation 15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f} (option 3) represents the horizontal momentum of a 15 kg lab cart moving with a constant velocity, v, and that continues moving after a 2 kg object is dropped into it.  

The horizontal momentum is given by:

p_{i} = p_{f}

m_{1}v_{1}_{i} + m_{2}v_{2}_{i} = m_{1}v_{1}_{f} + m_{2}v_{2}_{f}

Where:

  • m₁: is the mass of the lab cart = 15 kg
  • m₂: is the <em>mass </em>of the object dropped = 2 kg
  • v_{1}_{i}: is the initial velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
  • v_{2}_{i}: is the <em>initial velocit</em>y of the <em>object </em>= 0 (it is dropped)
  • v_{1}_{f}: is the final velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
  • v_{2}_{f}: is the <em>final velocity</em> of the <em>object </em>

Then, the horizontal momentum is:

15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = 15v_{1}_{f} + 2v_{2}_{f}

When the object is dropped into the lab cart, the final velocity of the lab cart and the object <u>will be the same</u>, so:

15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = v_{f}(15 + 2)

Therefore, the equation 15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f} represents the horizontal momentum (option 3).

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with an acceleration of 1.8 m/s^2. If she starts at rest, how far has she traveled in :
DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The acceleration of the toboggan, a=1.8\ m/s^2

Initial speed of the toboggan, u = 0

We need to find the distance covered by the toboggan. Using the second equation of motion as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

At t = 1 s

s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 1^2

s_1=0.9\ m

At t = 2 s

s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 2^2

s_2=3.6\ m

At t = 3 s

s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 3^2

s_3=8.1\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
