As dry air rises, it expands, and this causes it to cool about 1 degree Celsius for every 100 meter rise, up to a height of 12 K

m. If the ground temperature is 15∘ write a formula for the temperature T in terms of the height h (where h is measured in meters and less than 12 Km) above ground.

Answer: T = G - H/100

T= 12 - 12000/100 = 12 - 120 = - 105 degrees

Explanation:

T = G - H/100

T is temperature in centigrade degrees.

G is the temperature in centigrade degrees at ground level.

H is the height above ground level measured in meters.

assuming the temperature at ground level is 15 degrees centigrade, then G = 15.

the formula then becomes:

T = 15- H/100.

at ground level, H = 0 and the formula becomes 15 - 0/100 = 15 degrees centigrade.

at 100 meters, H = 100 and the formula becomes 15 - 100/100 = 15 - 1 = 14 degrees centigrade.

at 12 km above ground level, H = 12000 and the formula becomes 15 - 12000/ 100 = 15 - 120 = -105 degrees centigrade.

In the movement of the weight in vertical circle, using momentum balance, the largest tension is at the bottom of the circle. This is represented by: 

<span>F = T - m g </span>
<span>T = F + m g 
</span>F (centripetal) = mv^2/r

A girl is shown at position A on a swing when the seat is directly below the support bar. The seat is then at height A as shown
MrRa [10]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>1. The potential energy of the swing is the greatest at the position B.</u>

  • <u>2. As the swing moves from point B to point A, the kinetic energy is increasing.</u>

Explanation:

Even though the syntax of the text is not completely clear, likely because it accompanies a drawing that is not included, it results clear that the posittion A is where the seat is at the lowest position, and the position B is upper.

The gravitational <em>potential energy </em>is directly proportional to the height of the objects with respect to some reference altitude. Thus, when the seat is at the position A the swing has the smallest potential energy and when the seat is at the <em>position B the swing has the greatest potential energy.</em>

Regarding the forms of energy, as the swing moves from point B to point A, it is going downward, gaining kinetic energy (speed) at the expense of the potential energy (losing altitude). When the seat passes by the position A, the kinetic energy is maximum and the potential energy is miminum. Then the seat starts to gain altitude again, losing the kinetic energy and gaining potential energy, up to it gets to the other end,

what is the acceleration of a bowling ball that starts at rest and moves 300m down the gutter in 22.4 sec
exis [7]
<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time taken. It has both magnitude and direction. In this problem, the change in velocity would first have to be calculated. Velocity is distance divided by time. Therefore, the velocity here would be 300 m divided by 22.4 seconds. This gives a velocity of 13.3928 m/s. Since acceleration is velocity divided by time, it would be 13.3928 divided by 22.4, giving a final solution of 0.598 m/s^2.</span>

A Porsche 944 Turbo has a rated engine power of 217 hp. 30% of the power is lost in the drive train, and 70% reaches the wheels.
shutvik [7]

Answer:

a = 6.53 m/s^2

v = 11.5689 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

engine power is 217 hp

70 % power reached to wheel

total mass ( car + driver) is 1530 kg

from the data given

2/3 rd of weight is over the wheel

w = 2/3rd mg

maximum force

F = \mu W

we know that F = ma

ma =  \mu (2/3 mg)

a_{max} = 2/3(1.00) (9.8) = 6.53 m/s^2

the new power is p  = 70\% P_[max} = 0.7 P_{max}

P =f_{max} v

0.7P_{max} = ma_{max} v

solving for speed v

v =0.7 \times \frac{P_{max}}{ma_{max}}

v = 0.7 \frac{217 [\frac{746 w}{1 hp}]}{1500 \times 6.53}

v = 11.5689 m/s
