A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the base at a velocity of 15.5 m/s

and arrives at the top with a final velocity of 0 m/s, what is the height of the hill? Round the answer to the nearest tenth

This can be determined using the principle of energy conservation. The ski lift begins with a velocity of v= 15.5 m/s, and all of its kinetic energy Ek converts into potential energy Ep, thus we set Ep equal to Ek.
Because Ek is given by (1/2)*m*v², where m denotes mass and v represents speed, while Ep equals m*g*h, where m is mass, g is 9.81 m/s², and h is height. Now:

Ek=Ep 

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, canceling out the mass,

(1/2)*v²=g*h, rearranging for height by dividing by g,

(1/2*g)*v²=h and substituting the values:

h=12.245 m. The hill's height rounded to the nearest tenth is h=12.25 m.

a professional baseball player can pitch a baseball with a velocity of 44.7m/s towards home plate. If a baseball weighs 1.4 N, h
Sav [2230]
To find the mass using a weight of 1.4 N:
1.4/9.8 = 0.1428 kg
The momentum is calculated as 0.1428 multiplied by 44.7, which is 6.38 kgm/s.

Why must the height of the meniscus in the graduated cylinder match the height of the water in the tub when measuring volume?
serg [2593]

Answer:

Refer to the explanation.

Explanation:

To grasp the concept, start with the fundamental idea of meniscus in a graduated cylinder.

"The meniscus refers to the curve noticed at the surface of a liquid due to its container. Depending on liquid surface tension and its adherence to the container’s walls, this meniscus may be concave or convex".

Given this definition, when measuring the volume of water, it's crucial to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus curve, as water forms a concave shape.

Taking the reading at eye level ensures an accurate volume, as it aligns with this method.

Additionally, this way of reading balances total pressure with atmospheric pressure by adjusting the cylinder's height to match the water level.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series that begin and end at the same state
inna [2210]

Answer:

a) W =400 kJ

b) W = 0 kJ

c) W =-160.944 KJ

Explanation:

Given

Process 1 ---> 2

Pressure at point (1) P1 = 10 bar = P2

Volume at point (1) V1 = 1 m^3

Volume at point (2) V2 =4 m^3

For Process 2 ---> 3, where V = constant

Pressure at point (3) P3 = 10 bar

Volume at point (3) V3 = 4 m^3

Process 3 ---> 1 defined as PV = constant.

Required

Sketch the processes on the PV coordinates To calculate the work in kJ

Work is calculated by W=

a=V2

b=V1

x=Pdx=dV

For Process 1 ---> 2 where P3 = P4 = 5 bar  

\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dxW=

a=V3

b=V2

x=4dx=dV

substituting the values here into the integral gives

W=400 kJFor Process 2 ---> 3

As V = constant in this case, the volume remains unchanged, resulting in W = 0 kJ  

For Process 3 ---> 1  By applying point (1) --> 5 x.2 = C ---> C = 1 P = 5V^-1  

 W=

a=V1\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dx

b=V3

x=1V^-1dx=dVsubstituting values into this integral results in

W=| ln V | limits a and b

  = -160.944 KJ
