Four balls with different masses are dropped from the heights shown. Air resistance may be ignored. Which ball has the greatest

average speed?

Physics

Dafna1 [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The one falling from the greatest height will have the greatest speed.

h = 1/2 g t^2        time for ball to fall distance h

h2 / h1 = t2^2 / t1^2       dividing equations

h2 / t2^2 = h1 / t1^2

Let v be the average speed (v2 = h2 / t2)

1 / t2 * v2 = 1 / t1 * v1

v2 / v1 = t2 / t1      the one taking the longest to fall has the greater av. speed

Check:

h4 / h1 = t4^2 / t1^2     or

t4 / t1 = (h4 / h1)^1/2

In this case t4 / t1 = (4 / 1)^1/2 = 2  or twice the average speed

t1 = (2 h / g)^1/2 = .2^1/2 = .447       using g = 10

t4 = (2 h / g)^1/2 = .8^1/2 = .894

v1 = 1 / .447 = 2.24 m/s average speed

v4 = 4 / .894 = 4.47    or twice the average speed

A railroad car is pulled through the distance of 960 m by a train that did 578 kJ of work during this pull.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

<h2>602.08 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force supplied by the train can be found by using the formula

f =   \frac{w}{d}  \\

w is the workdone

d is the distance

From the question we have

f =  \frac{578000}{960}  \\  = 602.083333...

We have the final answer as

<h3>602.08 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

Energy transformations when you cook sausages on a campfire burning wood
Rina8888 [55]

<span>Actually in this case heat energy is being transferred. Heat energy or thermal energy is transferred from the burning of wood to the sausages for it to be cooked. The sausage is being heated by the fire and is absorbing the heat or thermal energy.</span>

In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The  fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is  

      k  = 0.903

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The time  constant  \tau  =  3

The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- \tau})

Where V_o is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged

    So   at  \tau  =  3

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- 3})

     V  =  0.950213 V_o

   Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

             E = \frac{1}{2 } * C  * V ^2

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor

Now  since capacitance is  constant  at  \tau  =  3

        The  energy stored can be evaluated at as

         V^2 =  (0.950213 V_o )^2

       V^2 =  0.903  V_o ^2

Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is  

      k  = 0.903
