Answer:

2.8 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 38 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(38 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 2.8 s

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 3 m/s.

mario62 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

a) Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

c) If the helicopter was rising steadily at 3.00 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

<u>Explanation:</u>

a) We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Initial velocity = 3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = 3+9.8*3 = 32.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Velocity of helicopter = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 53.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 53.1 meter.

So package is (53.1-9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

c) Initial velocity = -3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = -3+9.8*3 = 26.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Velocity of helicopter = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=-9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 35.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 35.1 meter.

So package is (35.1+9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

The lowest note on a grand piano has a frequency of 27.5 Hz. The entire string is 2.00 m long and has a mass of 400 g. The vibra

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1456 N

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency of the piano, f = 27.5 Hz

Entire length of the string, l = 2 m

Mass of the piano, m = 400 g

Length of the vibrating section of the string, L = 1.9 m

Tension needed, T = ?

The formula for the tension is represented as

T = 4mL²f²/ l, where

T = tension

m = mass

L = length of vibrating part

F = frequency

l = length of the whole part

If we substitute and apply the values we have Fri. The question, we would have

T = (4 * 0.4 * 1.9² * 27.5²) / 2

T = 4368.1 / 2

T = 1456 N

Thus, we could conclude that the tension needed to tune the string properly is 1456 N

A pendulum has a length of 2 m and a 30 kg mass hanging on the end. What is the period of the

anastassius [24]

Answer:

T = 2.83701481512 seconds

Explanation:

Hi!

The formula that you will want to use to solve this question is:

$T = 2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$

T--> period

L --> length of the pendulum

g --> acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

since we know that the mass of the bob at the end of the pendulum does not affect the period of the pendulum, we can go ahead and ignore that bit of information (unless, of course, the weight causes the pendulum to stretch)

so now we can plug in our given info into the formula above and solve!

T = 2*pi * sqrt(2/9.8)

T = 2.83701481512 seconds

*Note*

- I used 3.14 to pi, if you need to use a different value for pi (a longer version, etc) your answer will be slightly different

I hope this helped!

What is the acceleration of the box?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

a=4,32m/s^2

Explanation:

Fnet = F1 - F2

= 12-1.2

= 10.8N

m=2.5kg

Fnet =ma

10.8=2.5a then divide both sides by 2.5 to get acceleration
