Inertia is that quantity which depends solely upon mass. The more mass, the more inertia. Momentum is another quantity in Physics which depends on both mass and speed.

A person holding a lunch bag is moving upward in a hot air balloon at a constant speed of 7.3 m/s . When the balloon is 24 m abo

Kitty [74]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bag, u = 7.3 m/s

Height above ground, s = 24 m

We need to find the speed of the bag just before it reaches the ground. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$v^2=(7.3)^2+2\times 9.8\times 24$

$v=\sqrt{523.69}$

v = 22.88 m/s

So, the speed of the bag just before it reaches the ground is 22.38 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

You are designing a 108 cm3 right circular cylindrical can whose manufacture will take waste into account. There is no waste in

FinnZ [79.3K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The volume of a right circular cylindrical, $V=108\ cm^3$

We know that the volume of the cylinder is given by :

$V=\pi r^2 h$

$108=\pi r^2 h$

$h=\dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}$ ............(1)

The upper area is given by :

$A=32r^2+2\pi rh$

$A=32r^2+2\pi r\times \dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}$

$A=32r^2+\dfrac{216}{r}$

For maximum area, differentiate above equation wrt r such that, we get :

$\dfrac{dA}{dr}=64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}$

$64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}=0$

$r^3=\dfrac{216}{64}$

r = 1.83 m

Dividing equation (1) with r such that,

$\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi r}$

$\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi 1.83}$

$\dfrac{h}{r}=59 \pi$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A spring with spring constant of 34 N/m is stretched 0.12 m from its equilibrium position. How much work must be done to stretch

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:0.253Joules

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the force required to stretch the string. According to Hooke's law, the force applied to an elastic material or string is directly proportional to its extension.

F = ke where;

F is the force

k is spring constant = 34N/m

e is the extension = 0.12m

F = 34× 0.12 = 4.08N

To get work done,

Work is said to be done if the force applied to an object cause the body to move a distance from its initial position.

Work done = Force × Distance

Since F = 4.08m, distance = 0.062m

Work done = 4.08 × 0.062

Work done = 0.253Joules

Therefore, work done to stretch the string to an additional 0.062 m distance is 0.253Joules
