An object moving due to gravity can be described by the motion equation y=y0+v0t−12gt2, where t is time, y is the height at tha

t time, y0 is the initial height (at t=0), v0 is the initial velocity, and g=9.8m/s2 (the acceleration due to gravity). If you stand at the edge of a cliff that is 75 m high and throw a rock directly up into the air with a velocity of 20 m/s, at what time will the rock hit the ground? (Note: The Quadratic Formula will give two answers, but only one of them is reasonable.)

Answer:

$t=6.4534 s$

Explanation:

This is an exercise where you need to use the concepts of <em>free fall objects</em>

Our <u>knowable variables</u> are initial high, initial velocity and the acceleration due to gravity:

$y_{0}=75m$

$v_{oy} =20m/s$

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$

At the end of the motion, the <u><em>rock hits the ground</em></u> making the final high y=0m

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}*t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

If we <em>evaluate the equation</em>:

$0=75m+(20m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}$

This is a classic form of <u><em>Quadratic Formula</em></u>, we can solve it using:

$t=\frac{-b ± \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$a=-4.9\\b=20\\c=75$

$t=\frac{-(20) + \sqrt{(20)^{2}-4(-4.9)(75) } }{2(-4.9)}=-2.37s$

$t=\frac{-(20) - \sqrt{(20)^{2}-4(-4.9)(75) } }{2(-4.9)}=6.4534s$

Since the <u><em>time can not be negative</em></u>, the <em>reasonable answer</em> is

$t=6.4534s$

A diver in the pike position (legs straight, hands on ankles) usually makes only one or one-and-a-half rotations. To make two or

Korolek [52]

Answer:

from the above analysis we can say that the angular velocity in the later case is more than that of the former case. This means that the number of rotation made in the truck case is more than that made in pike position.

Explanation:

This can be explained on the basis of conservation of angular momentum.

This means the initial and the final angular velocity is conserved. Consider initial position (1)in the pike and final position in the be truck position. So there inertia's will also be different.

⇒ $I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2$

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{\omega_2}{\omega_1}$

also,

$I_1= mr_1^2$

$I_2= mr_2^2$

since, $r_2^2$

$I_2^2$

therefore,

$\omega_1^2$

So, from the above analysis we can say that the angular velocity in the later case is more than that of the former case. This means that the number of rotation made in the truck case is more than that made in pike position.

A record is dropped vertically onto a freely rotating (undriven) turntable. Frictional forces act to bring the record and turnta

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

35%

Explanation:

Assuming no external torques present during the collision between the record and the turntable, total angular momentum must be conserved.

For a rotating body with some angular velocity and moment of inertia, the angular momentum can be expressed as follows;

L = I* ω

So, as initial angular momentum and final angular momentum must be the same, we have:

Li = Lf

⇒ I₁ * ω₁ = I₂ * ω₂ (1)

where I₁ is the rotational inertia of the turntable, and I₂, is the combined rotational inertia of the turntable and the record:

I₂ = I₁ + 0.54 I₁ = 1.54 I₁

We can solve (1) for the new common angular speed, as follows:

ω₂ = ω₁ / 1.54 (2)

The initial rotational kinetic energy is given by definition for the following equation:

Kroti = 1/2 * I₁ * ω₁² (3)

The final rotational kinetic energy takes into account the new rotational inertia and the common final angular speed:

Krotf = 1/2* I₂ * ω₂² = 1/2* 1.54 I₁* (ω₁/1.54)² (4)

Dividing both sides in (3) and (4), we get:

Krotf/Kroti = 1/1.54 = 0.65

This means that the final rotational kinetic energy, has reduced to 0.65 of the initial value, or that has lost 35% of the initial kinetic energy.

The process of changing a property of a wave to transmit information is called .

BARSIC [14]

Answer : The process of changing a property of a wave to transmit information is called Modulation.

Explanation :

Modulation is the process of changing the property of wave to transmit information. This is done with the help of modulator.

In modulation, the message signal is superimposed on a high frequency signal. A sine wave ( usually high frequency ) is used as a high frequency carrier wave.

Modulation can be done in many ways like :

(1) Frequency modulation

(2) Amplitude modulation

(3) Pulse modulation

Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,

balandron [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of solid core wire=r=2.28 mm= $2.28\times 10^{-3} m$

$1mm=10^{-3} m$

Radius of each strand of thin wire=r'=0.456 mm= $0.456\times 10^{-3} m$

Current density of each wire= $J=3750 A/m^2$

a.Area = $\pi r^2$

Where $\pi=3.14$

Using the formula

Cross section area of copper wire has solid core = $3.14\times (2.28\times 10^{-3})^2=16.3\times 10^{-6} m^2$

Current density = $J=\frac{I}{A}$

Using the formula

$3750=\frac{I}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}$

$I=3750\times 16.3\times 10^{-6}=0.061 A$

Total number of strands=19

Area of strand wire= $A'=19\times 3.14\times (0.456\times 10^{-3})^2=12.4\times 10^{-6} m^2$

$J'=\frac{I'}{A'}$

$3750=\frac{I'}{19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$I'=3750\times 19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2$

$I'=0.047 A$

b.Resistivity of copper wire= $\rho=1.69\times 10^{-8}\Omega-m$

Length of each wire =6.25 m

Resistance, R= $\frac{\rho l}{A}$

Using the formula

Resistance of solid core wire= $R=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}=6.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

Resistance of strand wire= $R'=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{12.4\times 10^{-6}}=8.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega$
