A girl pushes herself up a steep ramp in her
wheelchair. She gains a vertical distance of
25.8 m when she reaches the top of the ramp.
She turns around and coasts back down the ramp
If the combined mass of the girl and her wheelchair
is 64.6 kg, what would be her coasting speed at the
bottom of the ramp?!Show all your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

22.5m/s, this is assuming conservation of energy and that the girl starts coasting from rest

Explanation:

conservation of energy: mgh = 1/2 m*v^2

h = 25.8m, m = 64.6kg, g=9.81m/s^2

plug in and solve for v

v = sqrt(2gh) = sqrt(2*9.81*25.8) = 22.5m/s

Answer 2

The coasting speed of the girl at the bottom of the ramp would be approximately 22.4 m/s.

To find the coasting speed at the bottom of the ramp, we can apply the conservation of energy principle. At the top of the ramp, the initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp.

Calculate the potential energy at the top of the ramp:

Potential energy (PE) = mass (m) * acceleration due to gravity (g) * height (h)

PE = 64.6 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 25.8 m = 16114.284 J

At the bottom of the ramp, all the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy (KE) = 0.5 * mass (m) * velocity²

16114.284 J = 0.5 * 64.6 kg * velocity²

Solve for velocity:

velocity² = 2 * (16114.284 J) / 64.6 kg

velocity² = 500 m²/s²

velocity = √(500 m²/s²) ≈ 22.4 m/s

Answers

Answer:

So that it may trap the solar radiations and maintain the temperature of the wooden building.

Explanation:

Wood is not as effective an insulator as fiberglass. It comes in a number of widths, the widest being 3/4 inch, which has an R-value of 0.94. However, fiberglass, the thinnest of which is 3/4 inch, has an R-value of 3. Therefore, fiberglass is a better insulator.

You are on a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean at the equator traveling in a hydrofoil
going at a constant speed of 300 /. The water is perfectly still. What is your acceleration:
a) If you’re heading due North?
b) If you’re heading due East?
c) If you’re heading straight up (something probably went wrong at this point).
You may assume the following:
The earth has a radius of 6371 km.
The earth makes one full revolution every 24 hours.
The gravitational constant at sea level is 9.81 m/s2
East and North are relative to the Earth’s axial north, not magnetic north.

Answers

a) If you’re heading due North, total acceleration will be 0.0478 m/s².

b) If you’re heading due East, acceleration will be 0.0803 m/s².

c) If you’re heading straight up, no exact value for acceleration.

What is acceleration?

The time rate of change of velocity is known as acceleration.

a)If the boat is going along North from equator, there will be only centrifugal force acting along upward direction which will be balanced by the weight of boat.

Angular velocity ω= (2π / (3600 x 24)) = 7.27 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Acceleration due to centrifugal force a = 0.0337m/s²

Centrifugal force due to its own velocity 300 m/s is v²/r = 0.0141 m/s².

Total acceleration will be 0.0141 +0.0337 =0.0478m/s².

Thus, if you’re heading due North, total acceleration will be 0.0478 m/s².

b) If the boat goes along East, Coriolis acceleration is in the direction of centrifugal force.

Coriolis acceleration is (2 x 7.27 x 10⁻⁵ x300 ) = 0.0436m/s².

Total centrifugal acceleration due to centrifugal force = 300 +  (7.27 x 10⁻⁵ x 6371 x 10³) = 0.0436 m/s².

Total acceleration is 0.0436 + 0.0367 = 0.0803m/s².

Thus, if you’re heading due East, acceleration will be 0.0803 m/s².

c) When boat is going upward, centrifugal force will change with time. but Coriolis acceleration remains same.

Thus, if you’re heading straight up, no exact value for acceleration.

at what temperature does the fahrenheit scale read quartered the celsius scale ? what is the corresponding reading in kelvin scale ?

Answers

The temperature at which the Fahrenheit scale reads quartered the celsius scale is : -5.16 ⁰F, -20.64⁰C

Reading in kelvin scale = 252.5 K

Determine the temperature at which the Fahrenheit scale reads quartered the celsius scale

The relationship between Fahrenheit and celsius can be expressed as

F = (9/5)(C) + 32 ---- ( 1 )

Therefore the temperature at which Fahrenheit scale quarters the celsius scale is :

F = 1/4 C --- ( 2 )

Back to equation ( 1 )

1/4 C = (9/5)(C) + 32

1/4C - 9/5C = 32

C ( 1/4 - 9/5 ) = 32

C = 32 / ( 1/4 - 9/5  )

   = -20.64⁰C

F = 1/4 ( -20.64 ) = -5.16 ⁰F

Hence we can conclude that The temperature at which the Fahrenheit scale reads quartered the celsius scale is : -5.16 ⁰F, -20.64⁰C. Reading in kelvin scale = 252.5 K

A. The ball's (vertical) velocity [tex]v[/tex] at time [tex]t[/tex] is

[tex]v(t) = 30\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} - gt[/tex]

so that after 4 seconds, the ball's speed is

[tex]|v(4\,\mathrm s)| = \left|30\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} - \left(10\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right) (4\,\mathrm s)\right| = \boxed{10\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}[/tex]

(The velocity is -10 m/s, so the ball is falling back down at this point.)

B. At maximum height, the ball has zero velocity, so it takes

[tex]30\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} - gt = 0 \implies t = \dfrac{30\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}g = \boxed{3\,\mathrm s}[/tex]

for the ball to reach this height.

C. The height of the ball [tex]y[/tex] at time [tex]t[/tex] is

[tex]y(t) = \left(30\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right) t - \dfrac g2 t^2[/tex]

The maximum height is attained by the ball at 3 seconds after it's thrown, so

[tex]y_{\rm max} = \left(30\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right) (3\,\mathrm s) - \dfrac{10\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}2 (3\,\mathrm s)^2 = \boxed{45\,\mathrm m}[/tex]

D. The time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height is half the time it spends in the air. So the total airtime is [tex]\boxed{6\,\mathrm s}[/tex].

Put another way: When the ball returns to the height from which it was thrown, its final velocity has the same magnitude as its initial velocity but points in the opposite direction. This is to say, after the total time the ball is in the air, it's final velocity will be -30 m/s. Then the total airtime is

[tex]30\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} - gt = -30\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \implies t = \dfrac{60\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}g = \boxed{6\,\mathrm s}[/tex]

The distance traveled by the pool ball is 0.376 m.

To calculate the distance traveled by the ball, we need to first find the resultant velocity of the ball.

What is resultant velocity?

This is the single velocity obtained when two or more velocities are combined.

To calculate the resultant velocity, we use the formula below.

Formula:

Vr = √(Vx²+Vy²)............. Equation 1

Where:

Vr = Resultant velocity.

From the question,

Given:

Vx = 0.5 m/sVy = 0.8 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

Vr = √(0.5²+0.8²)Vr = √(0.25+0.64)Vr = √(0.89)Vr = 0.94 m/s

Finally, to calculate the total distance, we use the formula below.

Formula:

d = (Vr)t.......... Equation 2

Where:

d = Distance traveled by the ballt = time

From the question,

Given:

Vr = 0.94 m/st = 0.4 s

Substitute into equation 2

d = 0.4×0.94d = 0.376 m
