Answer:
The deceleration is [tex]a = - 76.27 m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The height above firefighter safety net is [tex]H = 14 \ m[/tex]
The length by which the net is stretched is [tex]s = 1.8 \ m[/tex]
From the law of energy conservation
[tex]KE_T + PE_T = KE_B + PE_B[/tex]
Where [tex]KE_T[/tex] is the kinetic energy of the person before jumping which equal to zero(because to kinetic energy at maximum height )
and [tex]PE_T[/tex] is the potential energy of the before jumping which is mathematically represented at
[tex]PE_T = mg H[/tex]
and [tex]KE_B[/tex] is the kinetic energy of the person just before landing on the safety net which is mathematically represented at
[tex]KE_B = \frac{1}{2} m v^2[/tex]
and [tex]PE_B[/tex] is the potential energy of the person as he lands on the safety net which has a value of zero (because it is converted to kinetic energy )
So the above equation becomes
[tex]mgH = \frac{1}{2} m v^2[/tex]
=> [tex]v = \sqrt{2 gH }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]v = 16.57 m/s[/tex]
Applying the equation o motion
[tex]v_f = v + 2 a s[/tex]
Now the final velocity is zero because the person comes to rest
So
[tex]0 = 16.57 + 2 * a * 1.8[/tex]
[tex]a = - \frac{16.57^2 }{2 * 1.8}[/tex]
[tex]a = - 76.27 m/s^2[/tex]
A steam engine takes in superheated steam at 270 °C and discharges condensed steam from its cylinder at 50 °C. The engine has an efficiency of 30%, and taken in 50 kJ from the hot steam per cycle. If a Carnot engine takes in the same amount of heat per cycle and operates at these temperatures, the work it can turn into is most likely to be:a) 15 kJ. b) 20 kJ. c) 10 kJ. d) 50 kJ.
Answer:
b) 20 kJ
Explanation:
Efficiency of carnot engine = (T₁ - T₂ ) / T₁ Where T₁ is temperature of hot source and T₂ is temperature of sink .
T₁ = 270 + 273 = 543K
T₂ = 50 + 273 = 323 K
Putting the given values of temperatures
efficiency = (543 - 323) / 543
= .405
heat input = 50 KJ
efficiency = output work / input heat energy
.405 = output work / 50
output work = 20.25 KJ.
= 20 KJ .
The instantaneous speed of a particle moving along one straight line is v(t) = ate−6t, where the speed v is measured in meters per second, the time t is measured in seconds, and the magnitude of the constant a is measured in meters per second squared. What is its maximum speed, expressed as a multiple of a? (Do not include units in your answer.)
Answer:
v_max = (1/6)e^-1 a
Explanation:
You have the following equation for the instantaneous speed of a particle:
[tex]v(t)=ate^{-6t}[/tex] (1)
To find the expression for the maximum speed in terms of the acceleration "a", you first derivative v(t) respect to time t:
[tex]\frac{dv(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[ate^{-6t}]=a[(1)e^{-6t}+t(e^{-6t}(-6))][/tex] (2)
where you have use the derivative of a product.
Next, you equal the expression (2) to zero in order to calculate t:
[tex]a[(1)e^{-6t}-6te^{-6t}]=0\\\\1-6t=0\\\\t=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
For t = 1/6 you obtain the maximum speed.
Then, you replace that value of t in the expression (1):
[tex]v_{max}=a(\frac{1}{6})e^{-6(\frac{1}{6})}=\frac{e^{-1}}{6}a[/tex]
hence, the maximum speed is v_max = ((1/6)e^-1)a
