the time required after impact for a puck to lose 10% of its initial speed. Assume air is at 15o C and has a dynamic viscosity of 1.75´10-5 N×s/m2 .

Answer:

the time it takes after impact for the puck is 2.18 seconds

Explanation:

initially given information

mass = 30 g = 0.03 kg

diameter = 100 mm = 0.1 m

thickness = 0.1 mm = 1 × $10^{-4}$ m

dynamic viscosity = 1.75 × $10^{-5}$ Ns/m²

temperature of air = 15°C

to determine

time needed for the puck to reduce its speed by 10%

solution

we note that velocity changes from 0 to v

assuming initial velocity = v

therefore final velocity = 0.9v

implying a change in velocity is du = v

and clearance dy = h

shear stress acting on the surface is expressed as

= µ $\frac{du}{dy}$

therefore

= µ $\frac{v}{h}$ ............1

substituting the values

= 1.75 × $10^{-5}$ × $\frac{v}{10^{-4}}$

= 0.175 v

the area between the air and puck is given by

Area = $\frac{\pi }{4} d^{2}$

area = $\frac{\pi }{4} 0.1^{2}$

area = 7.85 × $\frac{v}{10^{-3}}$ m²

thus, the force on the puck can be represented as

Force = × area

force = 0.175 v × 7.85 × $10^{-3}$

force = 1.374 × $10^{-3}$ v

now applying Newton's second law

force = mass × acceleration

- force = $mass \frac{dv}{dt}$

- 1.374 × $10^{-3}$ v = $0.03 \frac{0.9v - v }{t}$

solving for t = $\frac{0.1 v * 0.03}{1.37*10^{-3} v}$

the time needed after impact for the puck is 2.18 seconds

Sav [1095]

Answer:

h = 12.8 cm

Explanation:

The initial parameters are as follows:

distance = 6.4 cm

when the object descends, its weight matches the spring's force

weight = spring force

mg = ky... equation 1

potential energy stored in a stretched spring = work done by the spring

mgh = 0.5 x k x h^{2}....equation 2

Substituting from equation 1 into equation 2

kyh = 0.5 x k x h^{2}

y = 0.5 x h

2y = h

where y is 6.4, yielding the maximum elongation as

h = 2 x 6.4 = 12.8 cm

Yuliya22 [1153]

A larger section of a forest is likely to support more diverse species compared to a smaller section of the same forest. Additionally, a half acre of rainforest is expected to exhibit more biodiversity than a full acre of desert. Biodiversity refers to the variety found within an ecosystem, which encompasses differences among living organisms based on their species and habitats. Generally, ecosystems with larger areas tend to have greater biodiversity; hence, a substantial forest area would likely harbor more biodiversity than a smaller area within it. Similarly, the previous example illustrates that a half acre of rainforest would likely have a higher level of biodiversity compared to one acre of a desert.

A camera operator is filming a nature explorer in the Rocky Mountains. The explorer needs to swim across a river to his campsite

inna [987]

Answer:

a. Angle= 28.82°

b. Approved. Although he might feel cold, he should be able to cross.

Explanation:

Velocity Vector

Velocity is a measure of how quickly something is moving in a specific direction. It is represented as a vector that has both magnitude and direction. If an object can only move in one direction, then speed can serve as the scalar equivalent of that velocity (only focusing on magnitude).

a.

The explorer aims to swim across a river to reach his campsite, as depicted in the image below. The river's velocity is vr and the explorer's swimming speed in still water is ve. If he were to swim straight towards the campsite, he would end up downstream due to the river's current. Therefore, he must swim at an angle that allows him to overcome the current while still moving towards his goal. This angle relative to the shore is what we need to determine. The explorer's speed can be broken down into its horizontal (vx) and vertical (vy) components. In order to counteract the river's flow:

$v_{ey}=v_r$

We can calculate the vertical component of the explorer's swimming speed as

$v_{ey}=|v_e|cos\alpha$

Thus

$v_r=|v_e|cos\alpha$

Finding the value of $\alpha$

$\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{v_r}{|v_e|}$

$\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{0.665}{0.759}=0.876$

Then the angle is given by

$\alpha=28.82^o$

b.

The component of the explorer's velocity that goes horizontally is

$v_{ex}=0.759sin28.82^o$

$v_{ex}=0.366\ m/s$

This represents the actual velocity directed towards the campsite

Considering that

$\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}$

To find t

$\displaystyle t=\frac{x}{v}$

Calculating the duration for the explorer to cross the river

$\displaystyle t=\frac{29.3}{0.366}$

$t=80\ sec$

As this time is under the hypothermia threshold (300 seconds), the conclusion is

Approved. Although he will feel cold, he should manage to cross successfully.

A block of mass m, initially held at rest on a frictionless ramp a vertical distance H above the floor, slides down the ramp and

kicyunya [1011]

Answer:

$\displaystyle W=-m.g.H$

Explanation:

Transformation of Energy

Also known as energy conversion, this refers to the process in which energy shifts from one type to another. In this context, three energy forms are involved. When the object is stationary at the ramp's peak, it possesses gravitational potential energy, calculated as

$U=m.g.H$

As the object descends the frictionless ramp, it converts all its potential energy into kinetic energy, represented as

$\displaystyle K=\frac{m.v^2}{2}$

Thus,

$K=m.g.H$

Ultimately, when the object encounters a rough surface, all energy converts to thermal energy. The work performed by the friction force corresponds to the alteration in kinetic energy, as all velocity is lost in this process:

$\displaystyle W=\Delta E=K_f-K=0-K=-\frac{m.v^2}{2}$

Given the kinetic energy equals the initial potential energy:

$\boxed{\displaystyle W=-m.g.H}$

The negative sign indicates that the work acted against the direction of movement, meaning the force and displacement are 180° apart.

This outcome is independent of the distance D needed to halt the block or the kinetic friction coefficient.
