A snowball is dropped from a height of H and reaches the ground with a speed of V. If you want to double the speed that the snowball has when it reaches the ground, at what height should you drop it from?

a
2H
b
4H
c
√2H

d
8H
e
16H

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct choice: b 4H

Explanation:

Conservation of the mechanical energy

The mechanical energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy GPE (U) and the kinetic energy KE (K):

E = U + K

The GPE is calculated as:

U = mgh

And the kinetic energy is:

[tex]\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Where:

m = mass of the object

g = gravitational acceleration

h = height of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

When the snowball is dropped from a height H, it has zero speed and therefore zero kinetic energy, thus the mechanical energy is:

[tex]U_1 = mgH[/tex]

When the snowball reaches the ground, the height is zero and the GPE is also zero, thus the mechanical energy is:

[tex]\displaystyle U_2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Since the energy is conserved, U1=U2

[tex]\displaystyle mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \qquad\qquad [1][/tex]

For the speed to be double, we need to drop the snowball from a height H', and:

[tex]\displaystyle mgH'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]\displaystyle mgH'=4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2 \qquad\qquad [2][/tex]

Dividing [2] by [1]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{mgH'}{mgH}=\frac{4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}{\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{H'}{H}=4[/tex]

Thus:

H' = 4H

Correct choice: b 4H

If you are sitting in a bus that is traveling along a straight, level road at 100 km/hr., you are traveling at 100 km/hr too. (a) If you hold an apple over your head, how fast is it moving relative to the road? (b) Relative to you? (c) If you drop the apple, does it still have the same horizontal motion? Explain.
What Law is it?

Answers

(a) The velocity of the apple with respect to the road is 100 km/h.

(b) The velocity of the apple with respect to you is 0 km/h.

(c) If you drop the apple the horizontal velocity will not change due to law of conservation of linear momentum.

What is the relative velocity of the apple?

The relative velocity of the apple placed over your with respect to the road is calculated as follows;

Velocity of the apple = 100 km/h

Velocity of the road = 0 km/h

Va/r = 100 km/h - 0 km/h

Va/r = 100 km/h

The velocity of the apple relative to you is calculated as follows;

your velocity = 100 km/h

velocity of the apple = 100 km/h

Va/y = 100 km/h - 100 km/h

va/y = 0 km/h

If you drop the apple, the horizontal velocity will remain the same, because gravity does not affect horizontal motion.

The law is law of conservation of linear momentum.

How do I calculate how many meters are in 7.2 light years?
The exact question is:
Calculate in meters the distance between a galaxy and the Earth if the distance is equal to 7.2 light years.

Answers

Answer:

68.2 Quadrillion meters

Explanation:

A lightyear is the distance that light travels in one year.

Speed of light is [tex]3*10^8\ m/s[/tex]

So light covers 300,000,000 meters in one second.

One year has 31536000 seconds so , light covers

[tex]9.461*10^{15}\ meters\ in\ one\ year[/tex]

so 7.2 light years is

[tex]7.2*(9.461*10^{15})\\6.82*10^{16}[/tex]

so 7.2 light years is

6.82 x 10^(16) meters or

68.2 Quadrillion meters

Electric power is to be generated by installing a hydraulic turbine-generator at a site 70 m below the free surface of a large water reservoir that can supply water at a rate of 1500 kg/s steadily. If the mechanical power output of the turbine is 800 kW and the electric power generation is 750 kW, determine the turbine efficiency and the combined turbine–generator efficiency of this plant. Neglect losses in the pipes.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\eta_{turbine} = 0.777 = 77.7\%[/tex]

[tex]\eta_{combined} = 0.728 = 72.8\%[/tex]

Explanation:

First we calculate the power input to the turbine. The input power will be equal to the potential energy of water per unit time:

Input Power = [tex]P_{in} = \frac{Work}{Time} = \frac{Potential\ Energy\ of\ Water}{t} \\P_{in} = \frac{(mass)(g)(height)}{Time} = (mass flow rate)(g)(height)\\\\P_{in} = (1500\ kg/s)(9.81\ m/s^2)(70\ m)\\P_{in} = 1.03\ x\ 10^6\ W = 1030\ KW[/tex]

Now, for turbine efficiency:

[tex]\eta_{turbine} = \frac{Mechanical\ Power\ Out}{P_{in}}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = \frac{800\ KW}{1030\ KW}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = 0.777 = 77.7\%[/tex]

for generator efficiency:

[tex]\eta_{generator} = \frac{Power\ Generation}{Mechanical\ Power\ Out}\\\\ \eta_{generator} = \frac{750\ KW}{800\ KW}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = 0.9375 = 93.75\%[/tex]

Now, for combined efficiency:

[tex]\eta_{combined} = \eta_{turbine}\ \eta_{generator}\\\\\eta_{combined} = (0.777)(0.937)\\\eta_{combined} = 0.728 = 72.8\%[/tex]

Should the resistance of an ammeter low or high ?give reason

Answers

Answer:

The resistance of an ammeter should be low. This is because an ammeter is connected in series with the circuit for the measurement of electric current. In case, its resistance is high, then some amount of current may lost in heating it leading to the inaccurate reading. An ideal ammeter is one which has zero resistance.

A pulse with a height of 20 cm and a length of 30 cm travels with a speed of 400 cm/s through a spring that has been stretched so it is 800 cm long.

Answer:

To send a pulse of different speed, change the tension or stretch on the spring

Explanation:

A pulse is a single disturbance of a particle is a medium. The pulse has an amplitude or and a pulse length in the medium. The speed of the pulse is dependent on the amount of strain or tension ( stretch) applied to the medium. The speed also determines the length of the pulse but is unaffected by the or amplitude of the pulse.

Which of the following situations would result in no work done by the force indicated?

a
The object undergoes only a slight displacement while the force is acting on it.
b
The force is perpendicular to the displacement of the object.
c
The force is not completely parallel to the displacement of the object
d
All of the above result in no work done by the force indicated.

Answers

Answer:

b  The force is perpendicular to the displacement of the object.

Explanation:

Work is done when a force is applied on a body causing it to move in a particular direction.

  Work done  = Force x displacement

For work to be done, a force must applied on a body to move it through a specific distance in direction.

When force is perpendicular to the displacement of the object, the component vector resolution is 0 and the work done is 0.

A supply plane drops a package to the ground for stranded campers below. After falling for 8.14 seconds, the package will have a downward velocity of 80.79 m/s. How high was the plane when it dropped the package?

Answers

Answer:

333 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s.

Time (t) = 8.14 s.

Final velocity (v) = 80.79 m/s.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

v² = u² + 2gh

80.79² = 0 + (2 × 9.8 × h)

6527.0241 = 0 + 19.6h

6527.0241 = 19.6h

Divide both side by 19.6

h = 6527.0241 / 19.6

h = 333 m

Thus, the plane was at a height of 333 m when the package was dropped.

Which pair of concurrent forces could produce a resultant force having a magnitude of 10. Newtons?

Answers

The pair of concurrent  forces will be of 5 N to make the magnitude of net force as 10 N.

Given data:

The magnitude of resultant force is, [tex]F_{net}=10 \;\rm N[/tex].

The given problem is based on the concept of concurrent forces which says that, If the forces applied to a body are such that their lines of action meet at a single point, then they are called concurrent forces.

Now to obtain the value of concurrent forces, let us consider the forces F and F' to be acting along a linear direction. Such that the net force is given as,

[tex]F_{net}=F+F'[/tex]

Then for 10 N of net force, the pair of concurrent force is,

[tex]10=F+F'\\\\10=5+5\\\\10=10[/tex]

Thus, we conclude that the pair of concurrent forces will be of 5 N to make the magnitude of net force as 10 N.

If you add an additional neutron to an atomwhat do you create?

Answers

Answer:

However, if you add a thousand neutrons, you will be creating one super-radioactive atom. Neutrons play a major role in the mass and radioactive properties of atoms. You may have read the page on isotopes. Isotopes are created when you change the normal number of neutrons in an atom.

Explanation:

The neutron is a subatomic particle, symbol n or n⁰, which has a neutral (not positive or negative) charge and a mass slightly greater than that of a proton. Protons and neutrons constitute the nuclei of atoms. Since protons and neutrons behave similarly within the nucleus, and each has a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit, they are both referred to as nucleons. Their properties and interactions are described by nuclear physics.
