Answer:

The tree is 143.325 meters tall

Explanation:

The given parameters of the eucalyptus tree are;

The mass of the eucalyptus tree nut = 1.7 ounces

The speed of the nut at 50.3 m above the ground, v = 42.7 m/s

The equation for free fall is given as follows;

v² = 2·g·h

Where;

v = The velocity after falling through a height, h

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height through which the seed has already fallen

Therefore, we have;

h = v²/(2·g) = (42.7 m/s)²/(2 × 9.8 m/s²) = 93.025 m

The height through which the seed has already fallen, h = 93.025 m

The height of the tree = h + The height of the seed above ground at the moment it was falling at 42.7 m/s

The height of the tree = 93.025 m + 50.3 m = 143.325 m

The height of the tree = 143.325 m.

What is the rate of heat transfer by radiation, with an unclothed person standing in a dark room whose ambient temperature is 22
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

5.45\times 10^{-4} W

Explanation:

T_{r} = Temperature of the room = 22.0 °C = 22 + 273 = 295 K

T_{s} = Temperature of the skin = 33.0 °C = 33 + 273 = 306 K

A = Surface area = 1.50 m²

\epsilon = emissivity = 0.97

\sigma = Stefan's constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ Wm⁻² K⁻⁴

Rate of heat transfer is given as

R = \epsilon \sigma A (T_{s}^{2} - T_{r}^{2})

R = (0.97)(5.67\times 10^{-8}) (1.50) ((306)^{2} - (295)^{2})

R = 5.45\times 10^{-4} W

Jim stands beside a wide river and wonders how wide it is. he spots a large rock on the bank directly across from him. he then w
LuckyWell [14K]

To solve this problem, we must imagine that Jim’s initial position, the position of the rock, and Jim’s final position all connects to form a triangle. Now we can imagine that the triangle is a right triangle with the 90° angle on the initial position.

The angle of 30° is directly opposite to the length of his total stride while the width of the river is the side adjacent to the angle. Therefore can use the tan function to solve for the width of the river:

tan θ = opposite side / adjacent side

tan 30 = total stride distance / width of river

where total stride distance = 65 * 0.8 = 52 m

width of river = 52 m / tan 30

B. A hydraulic jack has a ram of 20 cm diameter and a plunger of 3 cm diameter. It is used for lifting a weight of 3 tons. Find
lozanna [386]

Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

According to the Pascal's law

F / A = f / a

Where, F is the force on ram, A be the area of ram, f be the force on plunger and a be the area of plunger.

Diameter of ram, D = 20 cm, R = 20 / 2 = 10 cm

A = π R^2 = π x 100 cm^2

F = 3 tons = 3000 kgf

diameter of plunger, d = 3 cm, r = 1.5 cm

a = π x 2.25 cm^2

Use Pascal's law

3000 / π x 100 = f / π x 2.25

f = 67.5 Kgf

The position of a particle moving along the x-axis varies with time according to x(t) = 5.0t^2 − 4.0t^3 m. Find (a) the velocity
KengaRu [80]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) v(t) = [10.0t - 12.0t²] m/s  and a(t) = [10.0 - 24.0t ] m/s² respectively

(b) -28.0m/s and -38.0m/s² respectively

(c) 0.83s

(d) 0.83s

(e) x(t)  = 1.1573 m           [where t = 0.83s]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The position equation is given by;

x(t) = 5.0t² - 4.0t³ m           --------------------(i)

(a) Since velocity is the time rate of change of position, the velocity, v(t), of the particle as a function of time is calculated by finding the derivative of equation (i) as follows;

v(t) = dx(t) / dt = \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} [ 5.0t² - 4.0t³ ]

v(t) = 10.0t - 12.0t²     --------------------------------(ii)

Therefore, the velocity as a function of time is v(t) = 10.0t - 12.0t² m/s

Also, since acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity, the acceleration, a(t), of the particle as a function of time is calculated by finding the derivative of equation (ii) as follows;

a(t) = dx(t) / dt = \frac{dv}{dt} =  \frac{d}{dt} [ 10.0t - 12.0t² ]

a(t) = 10.0 - 24.0t             --------------------------------(iii)

Therefore, the acceleration as a function of time is a(t) = 10.0 - 24.0t m/s²

(b) To calculate the velocity at time t = 2.0s, substitute the value of t = 2.0 into equation (ii) as follows;

=> v(t) =  10.0t - 12.0t²

=> v(2.0) = 10.0(2) - 12.0(2)²

=> v(2.0) = 20.0 - 48.0

=> v(2.0) = -28.0m/s

Also, to calculate the acceleration at time t = 2.0s, substitute the value of t = 2.0 into equation (iii) as follows;

=> a(t) = 10.0 - 24.0t

=> a(2.0) = 10.0 - 24.0(2)

=> a(2.0) = 10.0 - 48.0

=> a(2.0) = -38.0 m/s²

Therefore, the velocity and acceleration at t = 2.0s are respectively -28.0m/s and -38.0m/s²

(c) The time at which the position is maximum is the time at which there is no change in position or the change in position is zero. i.e dx / dt = 0. It also means the time at which the velocity is zero. (since velocity is dx / dt)

Therefore, substitute v = 0 into equation (ii) and solve for t as follows;

=> v(t) = 10.0t - 12.0t²

=> 0 = 10.0t - 12.0t²

=> 0 = ( 10.0 - 12.0t ) t

=> t = 0            or             10.0 - 12.0t = 0

=> t = 0            or             10.0 = 12.0t

=> t = 0            or             t = 10.0 / 12.0

=> t = 0            or             t = 0.83s

At t=0 or t = 0.83s, the position of the particle will be maximum.

To get the more correct answer, substitute t = 0 and t = 0.83 into equation (i) as follows;

<em>Substitute t = 0 into equation (i)</em>

x(t) = 5.0(0)² - 4.0(0)³ = 0

At t = 0; x = 0

<em>Substitute t = 0.83s into equation (i)</em>

x(t) = 5.0(0.83)² - 4.0(0.83)³

x(t) = 5.0(0.6889) - 4.0(0.5718)

x(t) = 3.4445 - 2.2872

x(t)  = 1.1573 m

At t = 0.83; x = 1.1573 m

Therefore, since the value of x at t = 0.83s is 1.1573m is greater than the value of x at t = 0 which is 0m, then the time at which the position is at maximum is 0.83s

(d) The velocity will be zero when the position is maximum. That means that, it will take the same time calculated in (c) above for the velocity to be zero. i.e t = 0.83s

(e) The maximum position function is found when t = 0.83s as shown in (c) above;

Substitute t = 0.83s into equation (i)

x(t) = 5.0(0.83)² - 4.0(0.83)³

x(t) = 5.0(0.6889) - 4.0(0.5718)

x(t) = 3.4445 - 2.2872

x(t)  = 1.1573 m            [where t = 0.83s]
