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

The final direction of the system (me=M + person=P) velocity vector is at an angle; Ф, to the direction running south to north. Apply the component form of the impulse-momentum equation, firstly;

x-axis component form (+x east);

P_{Miy} + p_{Piy} + j_{y}= P_{Mfy} +P_{pfy}

m_{Mu_{Miy}+ m_{pu_{piy}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} sinФ

60 ·8 + 0 = (60 + 80)V_{f}sinФ

480 = 140V_{f} sinФ................. (I)

y-axis component form (+y north);

P_{Mix} + p_{Pix} + j_{x} = P_{Mfx}+ P_{pfx}

m_{Mu_{Mix}+ m_{pu_{pix}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} cosФ

0 + 80.9 = (60 + 80)V_{f}cosФ

 720= 140V_{f}cosФ

140Vf=\frac{720}{cos}Ф......................................(2)

 Substituting (2) into (1) to give the angle;

 480 = 720tan Ф

Ф = arctan(0.67) =33.69°.......................(3)

Evaluating (1) with (3) gives the velocity magnitude

480 = 140Vfsin 33.69°

Vf=6.18 m/s

note 1:

This angle corresponds to a direction; 90° - 33.69° = 56.31° north of east.

Where is the steering nozzle located on a pwc?
Dvinal [7]
At the rear.

PWC stands for personal watercraft, and it is a small powerboat. The main components of a PWC are the hull (body of the boat), deck (surface where people walk/stand), throttle (controls speed), steering nozzle and water intake.

The concrete slab of a basement is 11 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.20 m thick. During the winter, temperatures are nominally 17°C and
mina [271]

Answer:

\frac{dQ}{dt}= 4312 W

Explanation:

As we know that base of the slab is given as

A = 11 \times 8

A = 88 m^2

now we know that rate of heat transfer is given as

\frac{dQ}{dt} = \frac{kA}{x} (T_2 - T_1)

here we know that

k = 1.4 W/m k

Also we have

x =0.20

\frac{dQ}{dt} = \frac{1.4(88)}{0.20}(17 - 10)

\frac{dQ}{dt}= 4312 W

Find the kinetic of a 0.1 kilogram toy truck moving at a speed of 1.1 meters per second
omeli [17]
KE = kinetic energy
PE = potential energy
GPE = gravitational potential energy
energy is always measured in Joules (J)

KE = (0.5) times the mass times the velocity^2
square the velocity first

Mass = (KE x 2) / v^2
square the velocity first, then double the kinetic energy, then divide
mass is measured in kg

velocity = sqrt(KE x 2 / m)
velocity can be called speed, like in the the second problem
remember to find the square root after you double the KE and divide that by the mass.
for example: if after you doubled KE and divided it by the mass you got sqrt(20), the answer would be about 4.47

GPE = mass x gravitational pull (about 9.8 m/s^2 on earth) x height

height = (PE) / (g x m)
do g x m first

So for question 1:
KE = (0.5)0.1 x 1.1^2
always square the velocity first:
KE = (0.5)0.1 x 1.21
KE = 0.0605
so if you rounded it to the nearest hundreths you would get KE = 0.06 J
don't forget the unit of energy is in Joules
