Firemen are shooting a stream of water at a burning building. A high-pressure hose shoots out the water with a speed of 26.0 m/s as it leaves the hose nozzle. Once it leaves the hose, the water moves in projectile motion. The firemen adjust the angle of elevation of the hose until the water takes 3.00 to reach a building 41.0m away. You can ignore air resistance; assume that the end of the hose is at ground level.
Required:
a. Find the angle of elevation of the hose.
b. Find the speed in m/s of the water at the highest point in its trajectory.
c. Find the acceleration in m/s^2 of the water at the highest point in its trajectory.
d. How high above the ground in m does the water strike the building?
e. How fast is it moving in m/s just before it hits the building?
Answer:
a) θ = 58.3º
b) vfh = 13.7 m/s
c) g = -9.8 m/s2
d) h = 22.2 m
e) vfb = 15.5 m/s
Explanation:
a)
Assuming that gravity is the only influence that causes an acceleration to the water, due to it is always downward, since both directions are independent each other, in the horizontal direction, the water moves at a constant speed.Since the velocity vector has a magnitude of 26.0 m/s, we can find its horizontal component as follows:vₓ₀ = v * cos θ (1)where θ is the angle between the water and the horizontal axis (which we define as the x-axis, being positive to the right).Applying the definition of average velocity, taking the end of the hose like the origin, and making t₀ = 0, we can write the following expression:[tex]x_{f} = v_{ox} * t = v_{o} * cos \theta * t (2)[/tex]
Replacing by the givens of xf = 41.0m, t = 3.00 s, and v=26.0 m/s, we can solve for the angle of elevation θ, as follows:[tex]cos \theta = \frac{x_{f} }{v*t} = \frac{41.0m}{26.0m/s*3.00s} = 0.526 (3)[/tex]
⇒θ = cos⁻¹ (0.526) = 58.3º (4)b)
At the highest point in its trajectory, just before starting to fall, the vertical component of the velocity is just zero.Since the horizontal component keeps constant during all the journey, we can conclude that the speed at this point is just v₀ₓ, that we can find easily from (1) replacing by the values of v and cos θ, as follows:vₓ₀ = v * cos θ = 26.0 m/s * 0.526 = 13.7 m/s. (5)c)
At any point in the trajectory, the only acceleration present is due to the action of gravity, which accepted value is -9.8 m/s2 (taking the upward direction on the vertical y-axis as positive)d)
Since we know the time when the water strikes the building, it will be the same for the vertical movement, so, we can use the kinematic equation for vertical displacement, as follows:[tex]\Delta y = v_{oy} * t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} (6)[/tex]
Our only unknown remains v₀y, which can be obtained in the same way than the horizontal component:v₀y = v * sin θ = 26.0 m/s * 0.85 = 22.1 m/s (7)Replacing (7) in (6), we get:[tex]\Delta y = 22.1 m/s* 3.0s - \frac{1}{2} *9.8m/s2*(3.00s)^{2} = 22.2 m (8)[/tex]
e)
When the water hits the building the velocity vector, has two components, the horizontal vₓ and the vertical vy.The horizontal component, since it keeps constant, is just v₀x:v₀ₓ = 13.7 m/sThe vertical component can be found applying the definition of acceleration (g in this case), solving for the final velocity, as follows:[tex]v_{fy} = v_{oy} - g*t (9)[/tex]
Replacing by the time t (a given), g, and v₀y from (7), we can solve (9) as follows:[tex]v_{fy} = 22.1 m/s - 9.8m/s2*3.00s = -7.3 m/s (10)[/tex]
Since we know the values of both components (perpendicular each other), we can find the magnitude of the velocity vector (the speed, i.e. how fast is it moving), applying the Pythagorean Theorem to v₀ₓ and v₀y, as follows:[tex]v_{f} = \sqrt{(13.7m/s)^{2} +(-7.3m/s)^{2}} = 15.5 m/s (11)[/tex]

John runs 3 km north then walks 2 km south. What is his total distance traveled and displacement?
Answer:
the total distance is 5km and the displacement is 1km
Explanation:
The total distance would be the addition of John running both ways so 3 km, 2 km.
However since he only walked back from a distance of 3 km to 2 km, he would be displaced 1 km because displacement is more like the position from the original point.
Think about 2 km as a positive value for the first part of the question and a negative value for the second part.

A receiver catches a football on the 50.0 yard line and is tackled 5.42 seconds later on the 12 yard line. What
was the runner's average speed?
Answer:
7.01yard/sec
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial position = 50yard
Final position = 12yard
Time = 5.42s
Unknown:
Average speed of runner = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem;
Speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
Distance covered = Initial position - final position = 50 - 12 = 38yards
So;
Speed = [tex]\frac{38}{5.42}[/tex] = 7.01yard/sec
David is driving a steady 28.0 m/s when he passes Tina, who is sitting in her car at rest. Tina begins to accelerate at a steady 2.90 m/s^2 at the instant when David passes.
Required:
a. How far does Tina drive before passing David?
b. What is her speed as she passes him?
Answer:
Explanation:
Let t represent the time for Tina to catch David.
Hence, considering the equation of linear motion S = ut + 1/2at^2..... 1
For David u = 28.0 m/s where 'a' is set to nought
S = ut
S = 28t.......2
For Tina consider equation 1
Where acceleration = 2.90m/s^2 and u is set at nought
S = 1/2×2.90 m/s×t^2.......3
Equate 2 and 3
28t = 1.45t^2
Divide through by t
28 = 1.45t
t = 28/1.45
t = 19.31seconds
Now put the value of t into equation 3
S = 1/2×2.90 m/s×t^2.......3
= 1.45×20×20
= 580m
Tina must have driven 580meters before passing David
Considering the equation of linear motion : V^2 = U^2+2as
Where u is set at nought
V^2 = 2as
V^2 = 2×2.9×580
V^2 = 3364
V = √3364
V = 58m/s
Her speed will be 58m/s
(a) Tina should drive for 580 m, before passing the David.
(b) The speed of Tina during her passage through the David is 58 m/s.
Given data:
The initial velocity of the David is, u = 28.0 m/s.
The magnitude of acceleration is, [tex]a = 2.90 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex].
(a)
We can use the second kinematic equations of motion to obtain the distance covered by Tina, before passing the David. As per the second kinematic equation of motion,
[tex]s= u't + \dfrac{1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]
Here, u' is the initial speed of Tina and t is the time interval. Then,
Let t represent the time for Tina to catch David.
Hence, considering the equation of linear motion as,
S = ut + 1/2at²...............................................................(1)
Also,
S = ut
S = 28t ...........................................................................(2)
For Tina consider equation 1
S = 1/2×2.90t²................................................................(3)
Equate 2 and 3
28t = 1.45t²
28 = 1.45t
t = 28/1.45
t = 19.31 seconds
Now put the value of t into equation (3)
S = 1/2×2.90 t².
= 1.45×20×20
= 580m
Thus, we can conclude that Tina should drive for 580 m, before passing the David.
(b)
Now, using the third kinematic equation of motion to obtain the speed of Tina during her passage through David as,
v² = u²+2as
Solving as,
v² = 28.0² + 2(2.90)(580)
v = √3364
v = 58m/s
Thus, we can conclude that the speed of Tina during her passage through the David is 58 m/s.

Explanation:
A subway train starts from rest at a station and accelerates at a rate of 1.60 m/s 2 for 14.0 s. It runs at constant speed for 70.0 s and slows down at a rate of 3.50 m/s 2 until it stops at the next station. Find the total distance covered.
Answer:
1796.48 m
Explanation:
Given that :
First part of journey :
Initial Velocity, u = 0
Acceleration, a, = 1.60 m/s²
Time, t = 14 s
Distance traveled, S = 0.5at²
S = 0.5 * 1.60 * 14²
S1 = 156.8m
2nd part :
Speed is constant
Time = 70 seconds
At constant speed ;
Distance = speed * time
Speed, V = u + at
V = 0 + 1.6*14
V = 22.4 m/s
Distance, S2 = 22.4 * 70 = 1568 m
3rd part :
Deceleration = - 3.50m/s²
Final velocity, v = 0
Time taken to attain rest
V = u + at
0 = 22.4 - 3.5(t)
3.5t = 22.4
t = 22.4/3.5
t = 6.4 seconds
S3 = ut - 0.5at² (deceleration)
S3 = (22.4*6.4) - 0.5(3.5)*6.4^2
S3 = 71.68m
S1 + S2 + S3
156.8m + 1568m + 71.68m
= 1796.48 m

A system experiences a change in internal energy of 36 kJ in a process that involves a transfer of 14 kJ of heat into the surroundings. Simultaneously, which of the following is true?
a. Q= 14 u=36
b. U=Q-W
c. 14-36=22
d. 22 kJ of work is done on the system.
Answer:
b. U = Q - W
Explanation:
Given;
change in internal energy, ΔU = 36 kJ
heat transferred to the surroundings Q = 14 kJ
Apply first law of thermodynamic; the change in internal energy is equal to heat added to the system minus work done by the system.
ΔU = Q - W
Since heat was lost to surroundings, Q = - Q
ΔU = (-Q) - W
36 kJ = -14 kJ - W
36 kJ + 14 kJ = - W
50 kJ = - W
W = - 50 kJ (the negative sign shows that work has been done on the system)
Thus, 50 kJ of work is done on the system.
The only correct answer in the given options is "b" U = Q-W

An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is charged and then disconnected from the battery. The plates are then pulled apart to twice their original separation. Which of the following statements about this capacitor is true?
A. The capacitance has doubled.
B. The energy stored in the capacitor has doubled.
C. The potential difference across the plates has decreased.
D. The electric field between the plates has increased.
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
From the given information, since the capacitors are disconnected from the battery, the electric field between the plate does not change due to the fact that there is no difference in charge density.
Hence, the potential difference after separating the plates is:
V' = Ed
V = e (2d')
V' = 2V
For the energy stored in the capacitor;
[tex]U' = \dfrac{1}{2}QV'[/tex]
where;
V' = 2V
[tex]U' = \dfrac{1}{2} Q (2V)}[/tex]
[tex]U' =2( \dfrac{1}{2} Q V)[/tex]
U' = 2U
Thus, in the capacitor, the energy that is being stored is doubled.
Find the value of F1 + F2 + F3.
Answer:
F = 0.78[N]
Explanation:
The given values correspond to forces, we must remember or take into account that the forces are vector quantities, that is, they have magnitude and direction. Since we have two X-Y coordinate axes (two-dimensional), we are going to decompose each of the forces into the X & y components.
For F₁
[tex]F_{y}=2[N][/tex]
For F₂
[tex]F_{x}=2*cos(60)\\F_{x}=1[N]\\F_{y}=-2*sin(60)\\F_{y}=-1.73[N][/tex]
For F₃
[tex]F_{x}=-1*sin(60)\\F_{x}=-0.866[N]\\F_{y}=1*cos(60)\\F_{y}=0.5 [N][/tex]
Now we can sum each one of the forces in the given axes:
[tex]F_{x}=1-0.866=0.134[N]\\F_{y}=2-1.73+0.5\\F_{y}=0.77[N][/tex]
Now using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the total force.
[tex]F=\sqrt{(0.134)^{2} +(0.77)^{2}}\\F= 0.78[N][/tex]
what happens if we add a lump of ice to a tumbler containing water? how does heat flow?
Answer:
The ice will melt
Heat flows from the water to the ice
Explanation:
If we add a lump of ice to a tumbler containing water, the ice lump will melt in the water.
This is a simple physical change of state from solid to liquid.
At the end both the solid ice and the original liquid maintains the liquid state.
The heat will flow from the ice to the water in the tumbler. Heat generally flows from a body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature. The water has a higher temperature when compared to the ice. So, heat flows from the liquid water to the ice until thermal equilibrium is reached.Question 1 of 10

Please find the average speed and average velocity for the entire trip: average speed: 3 0.4 km/min average velocity: 4 0.4 km/min c.) If the bee had not flown in a straight line-- but instead with an unknown motion-- to the flower and back, which could not be determined: the average speed or average velocity
Answer:
a) d = 12 km, d = 0, b) v = 0.4 km / min, v = 0, c) v = 0
Explanation:
This problem asks to find the distance and the displacement. We must emphasize that the distance is a scalar and the displacement is a vector quantity
In the exercise, the bold letters indicate vectors
a) Let's find the total distance of the trip
d = d₁ + d₂
where d₁ is the distance to get to the flowers and d₂ is the distance to return to the hive from the flowers
d₁ = d₂ = 6 km
d = 12 km
we look for the displacement that is a vector quantity
d = d₁ - d₂
since the second displacement is in the opposite direction of the first
d = 0
b) the average speed of the trip, again this magnitude is a scalar
v = d / t
distance is d = 12 km t total time is t = 15 + 15 = 30 min
v = 12/30
v = 0.4 km / min
average velocity (vector) of the entire travel, in that case the displacement is zero
v = 0
c) If the path is not a straight line but the time is the same, the average speed cannot be calculated since it lacks the distance value
In the same case to calculate the average velocity that is a vector, it will be zero since the net displacement is zero
v = 0

The electrodes remain connected to the battery during this process. What is the electric field strength inside the capacitor after insulating handles are used to pull the electrodes away from each other until they are 1.7 cm apart? The electrodes remain connected to the battery during this process. What is the potential difference between the electrodes after insulating handles are used to pull the electrodes away from each other until they are 1.7 cm apart? The electrodes remain connected to the battery during this process.
Answer:
Explanation:
The capacitor is of parallel plate capacitor type
Capacitance C = ε₀ A / 4π d
ε₀ is 8.85 x 10⁻¹² , A is plate area and d is distance between plate .
d = 1.7 cm
C = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² x π x (6.5 x 10⁻² )² / 4π x 1.7 x 10⁻²
= 55 x 10⁻¹⁴F .
Charge on each electrode = C x V , V is voltage of battery .
= 55 x 10⁻¹⁴ x 14
= 770 x 10⁻¹⁴ C
Electric field strength = V / d where V is potential difference of battery , d is distance between plate .
= 14 / 1.7 x 10⁻²
= 8.23 x 10² V / m
The potential difference between plate
= potential difference of the battery
= 14 V .

A bat at rest sends out ultrasonic sound waves at 46.2 kHz and receives them returned from an object moving directly away from it at 21.8 m/s, what is the received sound frequency?
f= ? Hz
Answer:
f" = 40779.61 Hz
Explanation:
From the question, we see that the bat is the source of the sound wave and is initially at rest and the object is in motion as the observer, thus;
from the Doppler effect equation, we can calculate the initial observed frequency as:
f' = f(1 - (v_o/v))
We are given;
f = 46.2 kHz = 46200 Hz
v_o = 21.8 m/s
v is speed of sound = 343 m/s
Thus;
f' = 46200(1 - (21/343))
f' = 43371.4285 Hz
In the second stage, we see that the bat is now a stationary observer while the object is now the moving source;
Thus, from doppler effect again but this time with the source going away from the obsever, the new observed frequency is;
f" = f'/(1 + (v_o/v))
f" = 43371.4285/(1 + (21.8/343))

A second charge of 6.5 x 10-4 C lies 20 cm above the origin, and a third charge of 8.9 x 10-4 C lies 20 cm to the right of the origin. Determine the direction of the total force on the first charge at the origin. Express your answer as a positive angle in degrees measured counter clockwise from the positive x-axis.
Answer:
α = 36.21 °
β = 143.79°
Explanation:
To do this, we need to know the expression to calculate the angle.
In this case:
α₁ = tan⁻¹ (Fy₁/Fx₁) (1)
Now, let's analize the given data.
We have a charge q₁ at the origin of the cartesian coordinate system, so, it's at the 0. The charge q₂ is 20 cm above q₁, meaning is on the y-axis. Finally q₃ it's 20 cm to the right, meaning it's on the x-axis.
Knowing this,we can calculate the force that q₂ and q₃ are exerting over q₁. As these forces are in the x and y-axis respectively, we also are calculating the value of the forces in the x and y axis, that are needed to calculate the direction.
The expression to calculate the force would be Coulomb's law so:
F = K q₁q₂ / r² (2)
The value of K is 9x10⁹ N m² / C². Let's calculate the forces:
F₁₂ = Fy = 9x10⁹ * (7.1x10⁻⁴) * (6.5x10⁻⁴) / (0.020)²
Fy = 1.04x10⁷ N
F₁₃ = Fx = 9x10⁹ * (7.1x10⁻⁴) * (8.9x10⁻⁴) / (0.020)²
Fx = 1.42x10⁷ N
Now that we have both forces, we can calculate the magnitude of the force:
F = √(Fx)² + (Fy)²
F = √(1.04x10⁷)² + (1.42x10⁷)²
F = 1.76x10⁷ N
Finally, the direction would be applying (1):
α = tan⁻¹ (1.04x10⁷/1.42x10⁷)
α = 36.21 °
And counter clockwise it would be:
β = 180 - 36.21 = 143.79°
Hope this helps
Two spherical objects with a mass of 3.17 kg each are placed at a distance of 2.96 m apart. How many electrons need to leave each object so that the net force between them becomes zero
Answer:
1.704 × 10¹⁹ electrons
Explanation:
The gravitational force due to the identical masses with mass, m = 3.17 kg at a distance r = 2.96 m from each other is F = Gm²/r².
Since equal number of electrons have to leave both masses, we have a charge q on each mass acting to oppose each other at distance r.
So, the electrical force of repulsion is thus
F'= kq²/r²
For the net force to be zero, the gravitational force of attraction must balance the electrical force of repulsion.
So, F = F'
So, Gm²/r² = kq²/r²
Gm² = kq²
q² = Gm²/k
taking square root of both sides, we have
q = m√(G/k)
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
q = m√(G/k)
= 3.17 kg√(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²/9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²)
= 3.17 kg√(0.741 × 10⁻²⁰ C²/kg²)
= 3.17 kg × 0.861 C/kg
= 2.73 C
Now, q = ne where n = number of electrons and e = electron charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
n = q/e
= 2.73 C ÷ 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
= 1.704 × 10¹⁹ electrons
