An object is dropped from rest into a pit, and accelerates due to gravity at roughly 10 m/s2. It hits the ground in 5 seconds. A

rock is then dropped from rest into a second pit, and hits the ground in 10 seconds. How much deeper is the second pit, compared to the first pit?

Answer:

Second pit is 375 m deeper compared to first pit.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

First object hits the ground after 5 seconds,

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = 10 m/s²

         Time, t = 5 s

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 s = 0 x 5 + 0.5 x 10 x 5²

                    s = 125 m

           Depth of pit 1 = 125 m

Second object hits the ground after 10 seconds,

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = 10 m/s²

         Time, t = 10 s

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 s = 0 x 10 + 0.5 x 10 x 10²

                    s = 500 m

           Depth of pit 2 = 500 m

Difference in depths = 500 - 125 = 375 m

Second pit is 375 m deeper compared to first pit.

Which of the following quantities provide enough information to calculate the tension in a string of mass per unit length μ that
Bad White [126]

Answer:

A. the wave speed v and Wavelength

Explanation:

Given that

Mass density per unit length=μ

Frequency = f

The velocity V given as

\mu=\dfrac{T}{V^2}\ kg/m

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

T=Tension

V=Velocity

V= f λ

λ=Wavelength

Therefore to find the tension ,only wavelength and speed is required.

The answer is A.

A wind turbine works by slowing the air that passes its blades and converting much of the extracted kinetic energy to electric e
ddd [48]

Answer:

2649600 Joules

Explanation:

Efficiency = 40%

m = Mass of air = 92000 kg

v = Velocity of wind = 12 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 92000\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow K=6624000\ J

The kinetic energy of the wind is 6624000 Joules

The wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind

E=0.4\times K\\\Rightarrow E=0.4\times 6624000\\\Rightarrow E=2649600\ J

The energy extracted by the turbine every second is 2649600 Joules

A Hooke's law bowstring is stretched x meters until a force of f newtons is applied, and then held. By what factor will the elas
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The elastic potential energy increases by a factor of 9

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a bowstring is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 (1)

where

k is the spring constant

x is the elongation of the bowstring

Hooke's law states the relationship between the force applied and the elongation of an elastic object:

F=kx

where

F is the force applied

x is the elongation

We can rewrite it as

x=\frac{F}{k}

And substituting into (1),

E=\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{F}{k})^2=\frac{F^2}{2k}

In  this problem, the force applied to the bowstring is tripled,

F' = 3F

So the final elastic potential energy is:

E'=\frac{(3F)^2}{2k}=9(\frac{F^2}{2k})=9E

So, the elastic potential energy increases by a factor of 9.
