Answer: 3.5 seconds

EXPLANATION:

Using the formula:
v = u + at
And taking the upwards direction as positive, we have the following information:

u = 35 m/s
a = -10m/s^2 (this is acceleration due to gravity)

At the top of its path, the apple will have a velocity of 0 m/s, therefore:

v = 0m/s

Once you substitute everything into the formula, you get:

0 = 35 + (-10)t

Therefore, t = 35/10 = 3.5 seconds

Through what vertical height is a 50 N object moved if 250 J of work is done lifting it against the gravitational field of Earth
zimovet [89]

5m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of object = 50N

Work done in lifting object = 250J

Unknown:

Vertical height = ?

Solution:

The work done on an object is the force applied to lift a body in a specific direction.

   Work done = force x distance

  Weight is a force in the presence of gravity;

  Work done = weight x height of lifting

Height of lifting = \frac{work done }{weight}

 Height of lifting = \frac{250}{50} = 5m

The vertical height through which the object was lifted is 5m

"A steel rotating-beam test specimen has an ultimate strength of 120 kpsi. Estimate the life of the specimen if it is tested at
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

life (N) of the specimen is 117000  cycles

Explanation:

given data

ultimate strength Su = 120 kpsi

stress amplitude σa = 70 kpsi

solution

we first calculate the endurance limit of specimen Se i.e

Se = 0.5× Su   .............1

Se = 0.5 × 120

Se = 60 kpsi

and we know strength of friction f  = 0.82

and we take endurance limit Se is = 60 kpsi

so here coefficient value (a) will be

a = \frac{(f\times Su)^2}{Se}     ......................1  

put here value and we get

a = \frac{(0.82\times 120)^2}{60}  

a = 161.4  kpsi

so coefficient value (b) will be

b = -\frac{1}{3}log\frac{(f\times Su)}{Se}  

b =  -\frac{1}{3}log\frac{(0.82\times 120)}{60}  

b = −0.0716

so here number of cycle N will be  

N =  (\frac{ \sigma a}{a})^{1/b}

put here value  and we get

N =  (\frac{ 70}{161.4})^{1/-0.0716}

N = 117000

so life (N) of the specimen is 117000  cycles

19. Find the recoil velocity of a 65 kg ice hockey goalie who
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

c. 0.12 m/s

Explanation:

by using momentum formula v_2=\frac{m_1\times v_1}{m_1+m_2}

we get

v_2=\frac{0.15\times 50}{0.15+65}=0.12
