A hot-air balloon of diameter 12 mm rises vertically at a constant speed of 15 m/sm/s. A passenger accidentally drops his camera

from the railing of the basket when it is 18 mm above the ground. If the balloon continues to rise at the same speed, how high is the railing when the camera hits the ground?

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. With the information provided we will calculate the time it takes for the object to fall. From that time, considering that the ascent rate is constant, we will take the reference distance and calculate the distance traveled while the object hit the ground, that is,

$h = v_0 t -\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$-18 = 15*t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8*t^2$

$t = 3.98s$

Then the total distance traveled would be

$h = h_0 +v_0t$

$h = 18+15*3.98$

$h = 77.7m$

Therefore the railing will be at a height of 77.7m when it has touched the ground

You are a member of an alpine rescue team and must get a box of supplies, with mass 2.20 kg , up an incline of constant slope an

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The minimum speed of the box bottom of the incline so that it will reach the skier is 8.19 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the box, m = 2.2 kg

The box is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees

Vertical distance, d = 3.1 m

The coefficient of friction, $\mu=6\times 10^{-2}$

Using the work energy theorem, the loss of kinetic energy is equal to the sum of gain in potential energy and the work done against friction.

$KE=PE+W$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh+W$

W is the work done by the friction.

$W=f\times d$

$f=\mu mg\ cos\theta$

$W=\mu mg\ cos\theta\times \dfrac{d}{sin\theta}$

$W=\dfrac{\mu mgh}{tan\theta}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh+\dfrac{\mu mgh}{tan\theta}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}v^2=gh+\dfrac{\mu gh}{tan\theta}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}v^2=9.8\times 3.1+\dfrac{6\times 10^{-2}\times 9.8\times 3.1}{tan(30)}$

v = 8.19 m/s

So, the speed of the box is 8.19 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A conducting rod (length = 80 cm) rotates at a constant angular rate of 15 revolutions per second about a pivot at one end. A un

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

3.62 V

Explanation:

L = 80 cm = 0.8 m

f = 15 rps

B = 60 m T = 0.060 T

ω = 2 x π x f = 2 x 3.14 x 15 = 94.2 rad/s

v = r ω

here, r be the radius of circular path. Here r = length of rod = L

v = 0.80 x 94.2 = 75.36 m/s

The motional emf is given by

e = B v L = 0.060 x 75.36 x 0.8 = 3.62 V

A wave travels through a medium at 251 m/s and has a wavelength of 5.10 cm. What is its frequency? What is its angular frequency

allochka39001 [22]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of a wave, v = 251 m/s

Wavelength of the wave, λ = 5.1 cm = 0.051 m

(1) The frequency of the wave is given by :

$\nu=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

$\nu=\dfrac{251\ m/s}{0.051\ m}$

$\nu=4921.56\ Hz$

(2) Angular frequency of the wave is given by :

$\omega=2\pi\nu$

$\omega=2\pi\times 4921.56\ Hz$

$\omega=30923.07\ rad/s$

(3) The period of oscillation is given by T as :

$T=\dfrac{1}{\nu}$

$T=\dfrac{1}{4921.56}$

T = 0.000203 seconds

or

T = 0.203 milliseconds

Hence, this is the required solution.

You are using a rope to lift a 14.5 kg crate of fruit. Initially you are lifting the crate at 0.500 m/s. You then increase the t

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

W = 172.5 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of the fruit crate = 14.5 kg

initial velocity to lift = 0.500 m/s

increase in the tension = 150 N

lift of crate = 1.15 m

work done by the tension = ?

work done = force x displacement

W = F s cos θ

θ = 0°

W = F s x cos 0

W = 150 x 1.15 x 1

W = 172.5 J

Work done on the crate by the tension force = W = 172.5 J
