The leaning tower of Pisa is about 56 meters tall. A ball released from the top takes 3.4 seconds to reach the ground. The final

velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is 33 meters/second. Assuming that the ball experienced a constant acceleration throughout this descent, calculate the magnitude of the acceleration.

S=56, u=0, v=33, a=?, t=3.4

v=u+at
33=3.4 a
a = 9.7m/s^2

Use the formula h = −16t2 + v0t. (if an answer does not exist, enter dne.) a ball is thrown straight upward at an initial speed

makkiz [27]

Using the given formula with v0=56 ft/s and h=40 ft
h = -16t2 + v0t
40 = -16t2 + 56t
16t2 - 56t + 40 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation:
t= (-b+/-(b^2-4ac)^1/2)/2a = (56+/-((-56)^2-4*16*40)^1/2)/2*16 = (56 +/- 24) / 32
We have two possible solutions
t1 = (56+24)/32 = 2.5
t2 = (56-24)/32 = 1
So initially the ball reach a height of 40 ft in 1 second.

A jet engine gets its thrust by taking in air, heating and compressing it, and

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw$

Explanation:

Thrust is known as a reaction force which appears when a system expels or accelerates mass in one specific direction. If we know the acceleration and the mass of the air expelled by the jet engine, we can compute the thrust .

The acceleration is calculated by using the dynamics formula

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

The values are

$v_f=500\ m/s,\ v_o=100\ m/s,\ t=1\ sec$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{500-100}{1}=400\ m/s^2$

The thrust is

$F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw$

A 14000N car traveling at 25m/s rounds a curve of radius 200m. Find the following: a. The centripetal acceleration of the car.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of car $W=14,000\ N$

mass of car $m=\frac{14,000}{9.8}=1428.57\ N$

velocity of car $v=25\ m/s$

radius $r=200\ m$

(a)Centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c=\frac{25^2}{200}$

$a_c=3.125\ m$

(b)Force that provide centripetal acceleration

$F=F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$F=\frac{1428.57\times 25^2}{200}$

$F=4464.285\ N$

(c)Friction force between car and tires is given by

$=\mu N$

where $\mu$ =coefficient of static friction

N=normal reaction

Centripetal force will balance the friction force

$F_c=F_r$

$4464.285=\mu \times 1428.57\times 9.8$

$\mu =0.318$

An athlete stretches a spring an extra 40.0 cm beyond its initial length. how much energy has he transferred to the spring, if t

marissa [1.9K]

The energy transferred to the spring is given by:
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
where
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation of the spring with respect its initial length

Let's convert the data into the SI units:
$k=52.9 N/cm = 5290 N/m$
$x=40.0 cm=0.4 m$

so now we can use these data inside the equation ,to find the energy transferred to the spring:
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2= \frac{1}{2}(5290 N/m)(0.4m)^2=423.2 J$
