Answer:

865.08 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 243 m/s

Height (h) of the cliff = 62 m

Horizontal distance (s) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the cannon to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) of the cliff = 62 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

62 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

62 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 62/4.9

Take the square root of both side.

t = √(62/4.9)

t = 3.56 s

Finally, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the cannon ball as shown below:

Initial velocity (u) = 243 m/s

Time (t) = 3.56 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 243 × 3.56 s

s = 865.08 m

Thus, the cannon ball will impact the ground 865.08 m from the base of the cliff.

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 1.25-kg mass is hung from the spring. After all vibrations have died away, the spring

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through its equilibrium position is about 1.20 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy formula as follows:

$\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}$

where:

<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>

<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

mass of object = m = 1.25 kg

initial extension = x = 0.0275 m

final extension = x' = 0.0735 - 0.0275 = 0.0460 m

<u>Asked:</u>

kinetic energy = Ek = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we will calculate the spring constant by using </em><em>Hooke's Law</em><em> as follows:</em>

$F = k x$

$mg = k x$

$k = mg \div x$

$k = 1.25(9.8) \div 0.0275$

$k = 445 \frac{5}{11} \texttt{ N/m}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next , we will use </em><em>Conservation of Energy</em><em> formula to solve this problem:</em>

$Ep_1 + Ek_1 = Ep_2 + Ek_2$

$\frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh + 0 = \frac{1}{2}k x^2 + Ek$

$Ek = \frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh - \frac{1}{2}k x^2$

$Ek = \frac{1}{2}k ( (x')^2 - x^2 ) + mgh$

$Ek = \frac{1}{2}(445 \frac{5}{11}) ( 0.0460^2 - 0.0275^2 ) + 1.25(9.8)(0.0735)$

$\boxed {Ek \approx 1.20 \texttt{ J}}$

A spherical hot air balloon of diameter 30.0 meters just floats (hovers) when the hot air inside has been heated to a density of

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

W = 166422.729 N

Explanation:

given,

diameter of the balloon = 30 m

density of the air = 1.10 Kg/m³

weight of the balloon and cargo = ?

density of the surrounding air = 1.20 kg/m³

we know,

Density = mass/volume

m = density x volume

$m = \rho\times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$m =1.20 \times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi\times 15^3$

m = 16964.6 Kg

Weight of the balloon

W = m g

W = 16964.6 x 9.81

W = 166422.729 N

Weight of the balloon and the cargo is equal to W = 166422.729 N

⦁ A gas-turbine power plant operating on an ideal Brayton cycle has a pressure ratio of 8. The gas temperature is 300 K at the c

Rudik [331]

Answer:

The value of temperature at compressor outlet = 543.43 K

The temperature at turbine outlet = 773.04 K

Back work ratio = 0.388

The value of efficiency of the Ideal Brayton cycle =0.448

Explanation:

Pressure ratio ( $r_{p}$ )= 8 And specific heat ratio ( $\gamma$ ) = 1.4

Compressor inlet temperature ( $T_{1}$ ) = 300 K

Turbine inlet temperature ( $T_{3}$ ) = 1400 K

(a). Temperature ratio inside the compressor is given by

$\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1} }$ = $r_{p}\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma}$

Where $T_{1}$ & $T_{2}$ represents the compressor inlet and outlet temperature.

Put all the values in the given formula we get

⇒ $\frac{T_{2} }{300}$ = $8^{\frac{1.4 - 1}{1.4} }$

⇒ $\frac{T_{2} }{300}$ = 1.811

⇒ $T_{2}$ = 543.43 K

This is the value of temperature at compressor outlet.

The temperature ratio inside the turbine is given by

$\frac{T_{3} }{T_{4} }$ = $r_{p}\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma}$

Where $T_{3}$ & $T_{4}$ represents the turbine inlet & outlet temperatures.

Put all the values in the given formula we get

⇒ $\frac{1400}{T_{4} }$ = $8^{\frac{1.4 - 1}{1.4} }$

⇒ $T_{4}$ = 773.05 K

This is the temperature at turbine outlet.

(b). The work done by the turbine is given by the formula ( $W_{T}$ ) = $C_{p}$ ( $T_{3}$ - $T_{4}$ )

Put all the values in the above formula we get $W_{T}$ = 1.005 × (1400 - 773.05)

$W_{T}$ = 630.08 $\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

And work done inside the pump is given by $W_{c}$ = $C_{p}$ ( $T_{2}$ - $T_{1}$ )

Put all the values in the above formula we get $W_{c}$ = 1.005 × (543.43 - 300)

$W_{c}$ = 244.65 $\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

Back work ratio is given by $r_{b}$ = $\frac{W_{C} }{W_{}T}$

Put the values of $W_{c}$ & $W_{T}$ in above formula we get

⇒ $r_{b}$ = $\frac{244.65}{630.08}$

⇒ $r_{b}$ = 0.388

This is the value of back work ratio.

(C). Thermal Efficiency is given by E = 1 - $\frac{1}{r_{p} ^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma} } }$

⇒ E = 1 - $\frac{1}{8 ^{\frac{1.4 - 1}{1.4} } }$

⇒ E = 0.448

This is the value of efficiency of the Ideal Brayton cycle.
