Answer: 80m

Explanation:

Distance of balloon to the ground is 3150m

Let the distance of Menin's pocket to the ground be x

Let the distance between Menin's pocket to the balloon be y

Hence, x=3150-y------1

Using the equation of motion,

V^2= U^s + 2gs--------2

U= initial speed is 0m/s

g is replaced with a since the acceleration is under gravity (g) and not straight line (a), hence g is taken as 10m/s

40m/s is contant since U (the coin is at rest is 0) hence V =40m/s

Slotting our values into equation 2

40^2= 0^2 + 2 * 10* (3150-y)

1600 = 0 + 63000 - 20y

1600 - 63000 = - 20y

-61400 = - 20y minus cancel out minus on both sides of the equation

61400 = 20y

Hence y = 61400/20

3070m

Hence, recall equation 1

x = 3150 - 3070

80m

I hope this solve the problem.

Answer:

i(t) = (E/R)[1 - exp(-Rt/L)]

Explanation:

E−vR−vL=0

E− iR− Ldi/dt = 0

E− iR = Ldi/dt

Separating te variables,

dt/L = di/(E - iR)

Let x = E - iR, so dx = -Rdi and di = -dx/R substituting for x and di we have

dt/L = -dx/Rx

-Rdt/L = dx/x

interating both sides, we have

∫-Rdt/L = ∫dx/x

-Rt/L + C = ㏑x

x = exp(-Rt/L + C)

x = exp(-Rt/L)exp(C) A = exp(C) we have

x = Aexp(-Rt/L) Substituting x = E - iR we have

E - iR = Aexp(-Rt/L) when t = 0, i(0) = 0. So

E - i(0)R = Aexp(-R×0/L)

E - 0 = Aexp(0) = A × 1

E = A

So,

E - i(t)R = Eexp(-Rt/L)

i(t)R = E - Eexp(-Rt/L)

i(t)R = E(1 - exp(-Rt/L))

i(t) = (E/R)(1 - exp(-Rt/L))

Velocity = (displacement) / (time)

Displacement = straight-line distance between start-point and end-point

If you stop at the same point you started from, then
your displacement for the trip is zero, and your average
velocity is also zero.

Phantasy [73]

The question is incomplete. It comes with a set of answer choices.

These are the answer choices:

Alex observes it as 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as less than 10 m/s.

Alex observes it as less than 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as 10 m/s.

Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.

Both Alex and his friend observe it as less than 10 m/s.

Answer: Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.

Justification:

1) The speed is relative to the frame of reference.

2) It is said that the both Alex and his friend are standing still.

3) Then, the speed they both see is the same, 10 m/s, respect the Earth (where they are standing still).

Of course, Alex is watching the ball moving away and his friend is seing it approaching, but it is not relevant for the question, as it deals with the speed which is only about magnitude, not direction.

Consider a spring that does not obey Hooke’s law very faithfully. One end of the spring is fixed. To keep the spring stretched o

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

a) $W=-0.0103125\ J$

b) $W=0.0059375\ J$

c) Compressing is easier

Explanation:

Given:

Expression of force:

$F=kx-bx^2+cx^3$

where:

$k=100\ N.m^{-1}$

$b=700\ N.m^{-2}$

$c=12000\ N.m^{-3}$

$x$ when the spring is stretched

$x$ when the spring is compressed

hence,

$F=100x-700x^2+12000x^3$

From the work energy equivalence the work done is equal to the spring potential energy:

here the spring is stretched so, $x=-0.05\ m$

Now,

The spring constant at this instant:

$j=\frac{F}{x}$

$j=\frac{100\times (-0.05)-700\times (-0.05)^2+12000\times (-0.05)^3}{-0.05}$

$j=-8.25\ N.m^{-1}$

Now work done:

$W=\frac{1}{2} j.x^2$

$W=0.5\times -8.25\times (-0.05)^2$

$W=-0.0103125\ J$

When compressing the spring by 0.05 m

we have, $x=0.05\ m$

<u>The spring constant at this instant:</u>

$j=\frac{F}{x}$

$j=\frac{100\times (0.05)-700\times (0.05)^2+12000\times (0.05)^3}{0.05}$

$j=4.75\ N.m^{-1}$

Now work done:

$W=\frac{1}{2} j.x^2$

$W=0.5\times 4.75\times (0.05)^2$

$W=0.0059375\ J$

Since the work done in case of stretching the spring is greater in magnitude than the work done in compressing the spring through the same deflection. So, the compression of the spring is easier than its stretching.
