In an experiment, students roll several hoops down the same incline plane. Each hoop has the same mass but a different radius. E

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The graph should have velocity (v) on the y-axis and radius (r) on the x-axis. It will have a straight, horizontal line that goes across the graph.

Explanation:

$KE=\frac{1}{2} I(omega)^{2}$

Shown above is the formula for Kinetic Energy in rotational terms. I'm new to brain.ly so I couldn't insert the omega symbol, sorry about that. Omega can be replaced with $\frac{v^{2} }{r^2}$ . Moment of Inertia (I) can be replaced with $mr^2$ .

The equation becomes $KE=\frac{1}{2} mr^2(\frac{v^2}{r^2} )$ .

The r's cancel out, making the different radii negligible, causing a straight horizontal line.

If a 10 meter ramp helps you move a 500 kg object up 1 meter. What was the mechanical advantage of the ramp?

sattari [20]

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is

(Length of the incline) / (its height)

= (10m) / (1m)

= 10 .

It's the same for any load, and doesn't depend on the mass that you're trying to move up or down the ramp.

A physics student with too much free time drops a watermelon from a roof of a building, hears the sound of the watermelon going

tatiyna

Answer:

28.6260196842 m

Explanation:

Let h be the height of the building

t = Time taken by the watermelon to fall to the ground

Time taken to hear the sound is 2.5 seconds

Time taken by the sound to travel the height of the cliff = 2.5-t

Speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

For the watermelon falling

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow h=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2$

For the sound

Distance = Speed × Time

$\text{Distance}=340\times (2.5-t)$

Here, distance traveled by the stone and sound is equal

$\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2=340\times (2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2=340\times (2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{340}{4.905}(2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow t^2+69.3170234455t-173.292558614=0$

$t=\frac{-69.31702\dots +\sqrt{69.31702\dots ^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-173.29255\dots \right)}}{2\cdot \:1},\:t=\frac{-69.31702\dots -\sqrt{69.31702\dots ^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-173.29255\dots \right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\Rightarrow t=2.4158\ s\ or\ -71\ seconds$

The time taken to fall down is 2.4158 seconds

$h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 2.4158^2=28.6260196842\ m$

Height of the buidling is 28.6260196842 m

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

155.38424 K

2.2721 kg/m³

Explanation:

$P_1$ = Pressure at reservoir = 10 atm

$T_1$ = Temperature at reservoir = 300 K

$P_2$ = Pressure at exit = 1 atm

$T_2$ = Temperature at exit

$R_s$ = Mass-specific gas constant = 287 J/kgK

$\gamma$ = Specific heat ratio = 1.4 for air

For isentropic flow

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{P_1}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=T_1\times \frac{P_2}{P_1}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=00\times \left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=155.38424\ K$

The temperature of the flow at the exit is 155.38424 K

From the ideal equation density is given by

$\rho_2=\frac{P_2}{R_sT_2}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{1\times 101325}{287\times 155.38424}\\\Rightarrow \rho=2.2721\ kg/m^3$

The density of the flow at the exit is 2.2721 kg/m³
