A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 1.5 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th

e ground? (Disregard air resistance. a = −g = −9.81 m/s 2 .)

Initial speed of the coin (u)= 0 (As the coin is released from rest)

Acceleration due to gravity (a) = g = 9.81 m/s²

Time of fall (t) = 1.5 s

From equation of motion we have:

$\boxed{ \bf{v = u + at}}$

By substituting values in the equation, we get:

$\longrightarrow$ v = 0 + 9.81 × 1.5

$\longrightarrow$ v = 14.715 m/s

$\therefore$ Speed of the coin as it hits the ground/Final speed of the coin = 14.715 m/s

Sir Marvin decided to improve the destructive power of his cannon by increasing the size of his cannonballs. Sir Seymour kept hi

maria [59]

We really can't tell from the given information.
We don't know HOW MUCH Marv enlarged his cannonballs,
or HOW MUCH faster Seymour's balls became.

If we assume that they both, let's say, DOUBLED something,
then Seymour accomplished more, and the destructive capability
of his balls has increased more.

I say that because the destructive capability of a cannonball is
pretty much just its kinetic energy when it arrives and hits the target.
Now, we all know the equation for kinetic energy.

K.E. = (1/2) (mass) (speed-SQUARED) .

We can see right away that if Marv started shooting balls with
double the mass but at the same speed, then they have double
the kinetic energy of the old ones.

But if Seymour started shooting the same balls with double the SPEED,
then they have (2-SQUARED) as much kinetic energy as they used to.

That's 4 times as much destructive capability as before.

So we can say that when it comes to cannons and their balls and
smashing things to bits and terrorizing your opponents, if making
a bigger mess is better, then more mass is better, but more speed
is better-squared.

ery large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. One model used to gauge

IgorC [24]

Answer:

2.98 second

Explanation:

The severity index is defined by :

$S=a^{5/2}t$

a is dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of g

Conditions are given as :

Initial velocity, u = 0

Acceleration, a = 34 m/s²

Final velocity, v = 16.4 km/h = 4.56 m/s

We can find t from the above data as follows :

$t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{4.56-0}{34}\\\\t=0.134\ s$

As a is the acceleration that is multiple of g.

So,

$a=\dfrac{34}{9.8}=3.46$

So,

Severity index,

$S=a^{5/2}t\\\\S=(3.46)^{5/2}\times 0.134\\\\S=2.98\ s$

Hence, the severity index for the collision is 2.98 seconds.

Suppose you are driving a car and your friend, who is with you in the car, tosses a softball up and down from her point of view.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

No, i disagree.

Explanation:

If the car is moving, it only has a velocity with a component in the horizontal direction. If we use galilean relativity, the velocity of the ball observed by my friend standing in the ground should only be affected in the horizonal direction, while the vertical stays the same for both observers.

When carrying extra weight, the space formed between the top of your head and the two axles of the motorcycle is referred to as

Dafna11 [192]

When carrying extra weight, the space formed between the top of your head and the two axles of the motorcycle is called "load triangle". Because of a motorcycle's size and weight<span> and the fact that it has only two wheels, how to carry extra load is very important. One has to make sure that they are keeping the weight low and close to the middle of the motorcycle and keep the load evenly from side to side. Heavier items should be in the "load triangle".</span><span> </span>

Complete Question

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The electric field in the wire changes with time as E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004 newtons per coulomb, where time is measured in seconds.

I = 1.2 A at time 5 secs.

Find the charge Q passing through a cross-section of the conductor between time 0 seconds and time 5 seconds.

Answer:

The charge is $Q =2.094 C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the wire is $d = 0.205cm = 0.00205 \ m$

The radius of the wire is $r = \frac{0.00205}{2} = 0.001025 \ m$

The resistivity of aluminum is $2.75*10^{-8} \ ohm-meters.$

The electric field change is mathematically defied as

$E (t) = 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001 +0.0004$

Generally the charge is mathematically represented as

$Q = \int\limits^{t}_{0} {\frac{A}{\rho} E(t) } \, dt$

Where A is the area which is mathematically represented as

$A = \pi r^2 = (3.142 * (0.001025^2)) = 3.30*10^{-6} \ m^2$

So

$\frac{A}{\rho} = \frac{3.3 *10^{-6}}{2.75 *10^{-8}} = 120.03 \ m / \Omega$

Therefore

$Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { E(t) } \, dt$

substituting values

$Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { [ 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001t +0.0004] } \, dt$

$Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] } \left | t} \atop {0}} \right.$

From the question we are told that t = 5 sec

$Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] } \left | 5} \atop {0}} \right.$

$Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004(5)^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 (5)^2}{2} +0.0004(5)] }$

$Q =2.094 C$
