An impala is an African antelope capable of a remarkable vertical leaf. In one recorded leap, a 45 kg impala went into a deep cr

ouch, pushed straight up for 0.21 s, and reached a height of 2.5 m above the ground. To achieve this vertical leap, with what force did the impala push down on the ground? What is the ratio of this force to the antelope's weight? What is the ratio of this force to the antelope's weight?

Answer:

F =  1500 N

F/W = 500:147

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion, to get the initial velocity

v² = u²+2gs ............. Equation 1

Where v =final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

make a the subject of the equation

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), s = 2.5 m, g = -9.8 m/s²(against gravity)

substitute into equation 1

0² = u² +2×2.5×(-9.8)

u² = 49

u = 7 m/s.

a = u/t

Where t = time = 0.21 s

a = 7/0.21

a = 33.33 m/s²

Recall that,

F = ma ........... Equation 2

Where F = force, m = mass of the impala.

Given: m = 45 kg and a =33.33 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

F = 45(33.33)

F =1500 N.

Hence the force =1500 N.

Weight of the antelope = mg

W = mg

Where m = 45 kg, g = 9.8

W = 441 N.

F/W =1500/441

F/W = 500:147

Hence the ratio of force to antelope weight = 500:147

34kurt

Answer:

15,505 N

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy loss of the student equals the kinetic energy gain of the student

-ΔU = ΔK

-(U₂ - U₁) = K₂ - K₁ where U₁ = initial potential energy = mgh , U₂ = final potential energy = 0, K₁ = initial kinetic energy = 0 and K₂ = final kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

-(0 - mgh) = 1/2mv² - 0

mgh = 1/2mv² where m = mass of student = 70kg, h = height of platform  = 1 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and v = final velocity of student as he hits the ground.

mgh = 1/2mv²

gh = 1/2v²

v² = 2gh

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2 × 9.8 m/s² × 1 m)

v = √(19.6 m²/s²)

v = 4.43 m/s

Upon impact on the ground and stopping, impulse I = Ft = m(v' - v) where F = force, t = time = 0.02 s, m =mass of student = 70 kg, v = initial velocity on impact = 4.43 m/s and v'= final velocity at stopping = 0 m/s

So Ft = m(v' - v)

F = m(v' - v)/t

substituting the values of the variables, we have

F = 70 kg(0 m/s - 4.43 m/s)/0.02 s

= 70 kg(- 4.43 m/s)/0.02 s

= -310.1 kgm/s ÷ 0.02 s

= -15,505 N

So, the force transmitted to her bones is 15,505 N

Air at 3 104 kg/s and 27 C enters a rectangular duct that is 1m long and 4mm 16 mm on a side. A uniform heat flux of 600 W/m2 is
ad-work [718]

Answer:

T_{out}=27.0000077 ºC

Explanation:

First, let's write the energy balance over the duct:

H_{out}=H_{in}+Q

It says that the energy that goes out from the duct (which is in enthalpy of the mass flow) must be equals to the energy that enters in the same way plus the heat that is added to the air. Decompose the enthalpies to the mass flow and specific enthalpies:

m*h_{out}=m*h_{in}+Q\\m*(h_{out}-h_{in})=Q

The enthalpy change can be calculated as Cp multiplied by the difference of temperature because it is supposed that the pressure drop is not significant.

m*Cp(T_{out}-T_{in})=Q

So, let's isolate T_{out}:

T_{out}-T_{in}=\frac{Q}{m*Cp}\\T_{out}=T_{in}+\frac{Q}{m*Cp}

The Cp of the air at 27ºC is 1007\frac{J}{kgK} (Taken from Keenan, Chao, Keyes, “Gas Tables”, Wiley, 1985.); and the only two unknown are T_{out} and Q.

Q can be found knowing that the heat flux is 600W/m2, which is a rate of heat to transfer area; so if we know the transfer area, we could know the heat added.

The heat transfer area is the inner surface area of the duct, which can be found as the perimeter of the cross section multiplied by the length of the duct:

Perimeter:

P=2*H+2*A=2*0.004m+2*0.016m=0.04m

Surface area:

A=P*L=0.04m*1m=0.04m^2

Then, the heat Q is:

600\frac{W}{m^2} *0.04m^2=24W

Finally, find the exit temperature:

T_{out}=T_{in}+\frac{Q}{m*Cp}\\T_{out}=27+\frac{24W}{3104\frac{kg}{s} *1007\frac{J}{kgK} }\\T_{out}=27.0000077

T_{out}=27.0000077 ºC

The temperature change so little because:

  • The mass flow is so big compared to the heat flux.
  • The transfer area is so little, a bigger length would be required.

Consider an alcohol and a mercury thermometer that read exactly 0 oC at the ice point and 100 oC at the steam point. The distanc
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

No, both the thermometers will give the different reading.

Explanation:

Given,

  • Both thermometer has same ice point = T_i\ =\ 0^o C
  • Both thermometer has same steam point = T_s\ =\ 100^o C
  • Distance between the ice point and steam point in both the thermometer is same of 100 division,

All the data given in both the thermometers are same, but the material in the thermometer is different due to this the reading at 60^o C will differ in both the thermometer. Because the reading on both the thermometer is depended upon the thermal expansion of the material inside it, but both the materials are different. Due to this the rise of fluid in the thermometer, i,e,. the volume of the fluid material in the thermometer will depend upon the thermal expansion.  Hence both the material alcohol and mercury have the different thermal expansion, therefore the rise of the fluid in the thermometer also differ in both the thermometer.

At what angle should the axes of two Polaroids be placed so as to reduce the intensity of the incident unpolarized light to
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Ok, the question is incomplete buy ill try to answer this in a general way.

Suppose that you have no-polarized light.

When that light hits one polaroid, the light becomes polarized along some line, and has an intensity I0.

Now, when polarized light hits a polaroid which axis is at an angle θ with respect to the polarization of the light, the intensity of the resulting beam is given by the Malus's law:

I(θ) = I0*cos^2(θ)

For example, if the axis of the polaroid is exactly the same as the one of the polarized light, then we have θ = 0°

and:

I(0°) = I0*cos^2(0°) = I0

So the intensity does not change.

Now, knowing the initial intensity, you can find the angle needed to get a given intensity.

For example, if the question was:

"At what angle should the axes of two Polaroids be placed so as to reduce the intensity of the incident unpolarized light to A"

We should solve:

I(θ) = A = I0*cos^2(θ)

(A/i0) = cos^2(θ)

√(A/I0) = cos(θ)

Acos(√(A/I0)) = θ
