You look down an old well, cannot see the bottom, and mutter to yourself "Oh well!". In order to estimate the depth of the well, you then drop five stones and record the time for each to impact: 2.19s, 2.30s, 2.26s, 2.29s, and 2.27s. What is the best estimate of the depth of the well? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Record time,

[tex]t_{1}=2.19\ sec[/tex]

[tex]t_{2}=2.30\ sec[/tex]

[tex]t_{3}=2.26\ sec[/tex]

[tex]t_{4}=2.29\ sec[/tex]

[tex]t_{5}=2.27\ sec[/tex]

We need to find the best estimate of the depth of the well

According to record time,

We can write of the record time

[tex]t_{1}=2.19\approx 2.2\ sec[/tex]

[tex]t_{2}=2.30\approx 2.3\ sec[/tex]

[tex]t_{3}=2.26\approx 2.3\ sec[/tex]

[tex]t_{4}=2.29\approx 2.3\ sec[/tex]

[tex]t_{5}=2.27\approx 2.3\ sec[/tex]

Here, all time is nearest 2.3 sec.

So, we can say that the best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Hence, The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

A rock is thrown downward from the top of a cliff with an initial speed of -13m/s.If the rock hits the ground after 2.7 s, what is the height of the cliff

Answers

Answer:

0.62 m down.

Explanation:

Use the formula d= vi*t +1/2 at^2

So the initial speed or vi is -13 m/s and time is 2.7 s and a or acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 down ( because it's the gravity). So you plugged all the values and you will get 0.62 m. We put the down because the acceleration is saying down. Because displacement is vector quantity you have to show the direction of it.

Answer:

Explanation:

A stretching routine should target most of the main muscles in the body and at least one stretching exercise per section of the body. Also in a work environment since individual's sizes, ages, and cultures vary you should design a routine that is for beginners and very easy and effective. Regardless, each individual should be able to move at their own pace and push as far as they are physically able. One such routine would be the one in the attached picture below which targets all major areas, is easy and effective. It starts at the neck muscles and works its way down the arms, back, and legs.

Which best describes the definition for the atomic mass of an element?


It is a weighted average of the masses of an element’s isotopes.

It is a ratio based on the mass of the carbon-12 atom.

It is the sum of the protons and neutrons in one atom of the element.

It is twice the number of protons in one atom of the element.

Answers

Answer:

It is a weighted average of the masses of an element’s isotopes.

Explanation:

The best definition of the atom mass of an element is that it is a weighted average of the masses of an element's isotopes.

Isotopes of an element have the same electronic configuration but differ in only their masses. The atomic mass of an element can be derived from the geonormal abundances of this isotopes. It is the average of all the isotopes of an element.

 Atomic mass  = ∑m[tex]_{i}[/tex] a[tex]_{i}[/tex]

where m[tex]_{i}[/tex] is the mass of the isotope i

            a[tex]_{i}[/tex] is the abundance of the isotope i

An 8000.0 kg truck starts off from rest and reaches a velocity of 18.0 m/s in 6.00 seconds. What is the truck’s acceleration and how much momentum does it have after it has reached this final velocity?

Answers

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (18.0 m/s − 0 m/s) / (6.00 s)

a = 3.00 m/s²

Momentum is mass time velocity.

p = mv

p = (8000 kg) (18.0 m/s)

p = 144,000 kg m/s

When an 8000.0 kg truck starts off from rest and reaches a velocity of 18.0 m/s in 6.00 seconds then the truck’s acceleration would be 3 m/s² and the momentum after it has reached this final velocity would be 144000 kgm/s.

What is momentum?

It can be defined as the product of the mass and the speed of the particle, it represents the combined effect of mass and the speed of any particle, and the momentum of any particle is expressed in Kg m/s unit.

Mathematically the formula of the momentum is

P = mv

where P is the momentum of the particle

m is the mass of the particle

v is the velocity by which the particle is moving

As given in the problem An 8000.0 kg truck starts off from rest and reaches a velocity of 18.0 m/s in 6.00 seconds

By using the first equation is given as follows

v = u + at

18 =0 + a×6

a = 3 m/s²

As given in the problem the final velocity of An 8000.0 kg truck is 18 m/s

the momentum is given by the formula

P = mv

P= 8000×18

P = 144000 kgm/s

Thus, the truck’s acceleration would be 3 m/s², and the momentum after it has reached this final velocity would be 144000 kgm/s.

The driver of a car slams on the brakes, causing the car to slow down at a rate of
20.0ft/s as the car skids 295ft to a stop.
How long does the car take to stop?
What was the car’s initial speed?

Answers

Answer:

The time taken for the car to stop is 5.43 s.

The initial velocity of the car is 108.6 ft/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Acceleration (a) = –20 ft/s² (since the car is coming to rest)

Distance travalled (s) = 295 ft

Final velocity (v) = 0 ft/s

Time taken (t) =?

Initial velocity (u) =?

Next, we shall determine the initial velocity of the car as shown below:

v² = u² + 2as

0² = u² + (2 × –20 × 295)

0 = u² + (–11800)

0 = u² – 11800

Collect like terms

0 + 11800 = u²

11800 = u²

Take the square root of both side

u = √11800

u = 108.6 ft/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the car is 108.6 ft/s.

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the car to stop as shown below:

Acceleration (a) = –20 ft/s² (since the car is coming to rest)

Final velocity (v) = 0 ft/s

Initial velocity (u) = 108.6 ft/s

Time taken (t) =?

v = u + at

0 = 108.6 + (–20 × t)

0 = 108.6 + (–20t)

0 = 108.6 – 20t

Collect like terms

0 – 108.6 = – 20t

– 108.6 = – 20t

Divide both side by –20

t = – 108.6 / –20

t = 5.43 s

Therefore, the time taken for the car to stop is 5.43 s.

A golf ball travels upwards and rightward through the air. Of the forces listed, identify which act upon the golf ball.

a) normal force
b) tension
c) gravity
d) applied
e) air resistance
f) friction

Answers

Answer:

Gravity, normal force, friction, and air resistance.

Explanation:

Assuming the ball is on earth, there is always gravity acted upon the object.

Since the problem said that the golf ball is moving throughout the air, we can tell that there will be air resistance and friction(air resistance is a type of friction). There is also normal force pushing on the ball as it bumps into the air, as the air is pushing back with an equal and opposite force.

I don't know what you mean by "applied", so I don't think there's that type of force exerted on the ball.

Lastly, tension only occurs when you pull a string/rope. There is no string/rope in this case, so there is no tension exerted on the ball.

I hope this helped you.

The force acting upon the golf ball which is traveling upward and rightward through the air is gravity, normal,  friction, and air resistance, so options A, C, E, and F are correct.

What is friction?

A force that prevents two solid objects from smoothly sliding or rolling over one another is known as friction. Despite the potential benefits of frictional forces, such as the traction needed to walk without slipping, they can still present a sizable amount of resistance to motion. Automobile engines use about 20% of their output to overcome frictional forces in moving parts.

The ball will always be affected by gravity if it is on earth. We can infer that there will be air resistance and friction because the issue said that the golf ball is traveling through the air (air resistance is a type of friction).

The air is pushing back on the ball with an equal and opposite force when it bumps into it, adding to the regular force that is pushing on it. Finally, tension can only be created by pulling a string or rope. Since there is no string or rope present, the ball is not under any tension.

Therefore, the force acting upon the golf ball which is traveling upward and rightward through the air is gravity, normal,  friction, and air resistance.
