Vehicle Velocity at cliff edge: 40.3 meters/second (90 miles per hour)
Questions to answer: The Colorado River is at the bottom of the cliff approximately 536.5 meters (1,760 feet) from cliff base. The river averages 300 feet across and is forty feet deep.
A. Does the car land in the river?
B. How much closer to the cliff base would the river have to be, to allow the car to land 50 feet from the edge of the river?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The car does not land in the river

B. 399.27 meters

Explanation:

The Cliff Height, s: 609.6 m

The velocity at the edge of the cliff, vₓ = 40.3 meters/second  (90 miles per hour)

The location of the Colorado River = 536.5 meters (1,760 feet) from the cliff base

The width of the river across = 300 feet average

The depth of the river = 40 feet

Assumption;

The direction of the vehicle = Horizontal

Vertical velocity of the vehicle = 0 m/s

The time, t, it takes the car to reach the level of the bottom of the cliff is given as follows;

s = [tex]u_y[/tex]·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

[tex]u_y[/tex] = The initial vertical velocity of the vehicle = 0

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore, we have;

609.6 = 0×t + 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

609.6 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

t = √(2 × 609.6/9.81) ≈ 11.148 seconds

The horizontal distance, x, travelled by the car in the above calculated, 11.148 seconds, time is x = vₓ × t = 40.3 × 11.148 = 449.27 meters

Therefore, the horizontal distance from the cliff travelled by vehicle on landing from the base of the cliff = 449.27 meters

Given the river is located approximately 536.5 meters from cliff's base, the car does not land in the river

B. In order for the car to land 50 ft. from the edge of the river, the river has to be 449.27 - 50 ≈ 399.27 meters from the base of the cliff.

A block attached to a horizontal spring of force constant 75N/m undergoes SHM with an amplitude of 0.15m. If the speed of the mass is 1.7 m/s when the displacement is 0.12m from the equilibrium position, what is the mass of the block?

Answers

Answer:

x = A sin w t         for SHM where w = angular frequency

sin w t = x / A = .12 / .15 = .8    where w t is the angle in degrees

w t = 53.1 deg       (w itself is in rad / sec)

since v = A w cos w t  

then v / x = w cos w t / sin w t = w / tan w t

w = v / x * tan 53.1 = 1.7 / .12 * tan 53.1 = 18.9 /sec

Also for SHM    w = (k / m)^1/2

m = k / w^2 = 75 / 18.9^2 = .21 kg

A mover's dolly is used to pull a 115 kg refrigerator up a ramp
into a house. The ramp is 2.10 m long and rises 0.850 m. The
mover exerts a force of 496 N up the ramp. How much work is
spent overcoming friction?

Answers

Answer:

84 J

Explanation:

Work by mover:

W = Fd

W = 496 J (2.1 m)

W = 1042 J

Work by dolly and ramp:

W = Fd

W = (mg)d

W = 115 kg (9.8 m/s/s) (0.85 m)

W = 958 J

1042 J - 958 J

= 84 J

The amount of work  spent in overcoming friction is 83.65 J.

 

From the question,

The amount of work spent in overcoming friction = work done by the mover-potential energy of the refrigerator.

This is expressed mathematically as,

W' = Fd-mgh................... Equation 1

Where W' = work spent against friction, F = force applied, d = distance, m = mass of the refrigerator, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

From the question,

Given: F = 496 N, d = 2.10 m, m = 115 kg, h = 0.85 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s².

Substitute these values into equation 1

W' = 496(2.1)-(115×9.8×0.85)

W' = 1041.6-957.95

W' = 83.65 J.

Hence, the amount of work  spent in overcoming friction is 83.65 J

O 8 m/s
O 19 m/s
O 60 m/s

Answers

Answer:

the answer is 19 ,30 (second) times 0.5= 15

15+4= 19

After Paco drives his scoter west with an initial velocity of 4 m/s and then accelerates at 0.5 m/s² for 30 s, his final velocity is 19 m/s, so the correct option is the fourth.  

The final velocity of Paco can be calculated with the following equation:

[tex] v_{f} = v_{i} + at [/tex]

Where:

[tex] v_{f}[/tex]: is the final velocity =?

[tex]v_{i}[/tex]: is the initial velocity = 4 m/s

a: is the acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

t: is the time 30 s

Hence, the final velocity is:

[tex] v_{f} = 4 m/s + 0.5 m/s^{2}*30 s = 19 m/s [/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is 19 m/s.

3.The melting point of lead is 327.5 °C. Which of the following statements is correct? (1 Point) A)Lead is a gas at 280 °C B)Lead is a solid at 310 °C C)Lead is a liquid at 300 °C D)Lead is a solid at 390 °C

Answers

Answer:

B)Lead is a solid at 310 °C

Explanation:

The melting point of a substance refers to that temperature in which the substance changes state from solid to liquid. The melting point of a substance, which is usually a temperature value, is that actual temperature the change of state occurs.

According to this question, the melting point of Lead (Pb), which is naturally a solid metal, is 327.5°C. This means that LEAD (Pb) will only change to its liquid state at exactly 327.5°C and above. Therefore, at a temperature of 310°C, which is lower than lead's melting point, Lead element will still be a solid.

Answer: The correct answer is B. Lead is a solid at 310

A car initially rolling at 12 m/s comes to a stop in 20 seconds. Assuming the car has uniform acceleration, how far does it travel during this time interval?

Answers

As the car comes to rest it’s final velocity v will be 0
So our information g is
u = 12 m /s
t = 20s
v = 0

So acceleration is v-u/t
So 0-12/20
= -12/20
= -0.6 m / s^2

S= ut + 1/2 at^2
S = 12 x 20 + 1/2 x -12/20 x 400
S= 240 - 120
S = 120

It travels 120 m during the time interval.

"A car is travelling at 70 m/s. The driver sees a cow in the road and slows down with a constant acceleration for 10 seconds before coming to a stop. What is the car’s displacement by the time is stops." what information do you know?

Answers

The question does not ask for anything in particular. I will calculate the acceleration and distance.

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is [tex]-7\ m/s^2[/tex]

The distance traveled before stopping is 350 m

Explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

[tex]v_f=v_o+at\qquad [1][/tex]

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad [2][/tex]

The car has an initial speed of v0=70 m/s when the driver sees a cow in the road and steps on the brakes with an (assumed) constant acceleration during t=10 seconds before stopping (vf=0).

With the information provided, we can calculate the value of the acceleration and the distance traveled.

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}[/tex]

Substituting the numerical values:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{0-70}{10}=-7\ m/s^2[/tex]

The acceleration of the car is [tex]-7\ m/s^2[/tex]

The distance is now calculated by using [2]

[tex]\displaystyle x=70\cdot 10+\frac{(-7)\cdot 10^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=700-\frac{700}{2}=350\ m[/tex]

The distance traveled before stopping is 350 m
