The voltage in american household is 120 v. however, because we use a/c power, the voltage is oscillating between two maximums.

what is the maximum or peak voltage required to produce an average voltage of 120 v?.

Answer:

188 v

Explanation:

The average of a sine wave is .637 times the peak value

.637 x = 120

x = 120 / .637 = 188 v

The gravitational potential energy of a contracting interstellar cloud

Olegator [25]

Answer:

b) gradually transforms into other forms of energy.

Explanation:

Interstellar clouds are composed of gases, plasma and dust etc. So when the gravitation force becomes stronger the clouds starts to contract which results in the reduction of the gravitational potential energy. As the gravitational potential energy decreases, there is an increase in the kinetic energy in the form of heat and temperature. Thats why we say that upon contraction of the interstellar clouds the gravitational potential energy gradually transforms into other forms of energy.

A) One Strategy in a snowball fight the snowball at a hangover level ground. While your opponent is watching this first snowfall

Alexandra [31]

Answers:

a) $\theta_{2}=38\°$

b) $t=0.495 s$

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the snowball has two components: <u>x-component</u> and <u>y-component</u>. Being their main equations as follows for both snowballs:

<h3><u>Snowball 1:</u></h3>

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{1} t_{1}$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=14.1 m/s$ is the initial speed of snowball 1 (and snowball 2, as well)

$\theta_{1}=52\°$ is the angle for snowball 1

$t_{1}$ is the time since the snowball 1 is thrown until it hits the opponent

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta_{1} t_{1}+\frac{gt_{1}^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=0$ is the initial height of the snowball 1 (assuming that both people are only on the x axis of the frame of reference, therefore the value of the position in the y-component is zero.)

$y=0$ is the final height of the snowball 1

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity (always directed downwards)

<h3><u>Snowball 2:</u></h3>

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{2} t_{2}$ (3)

Where:

$\theta_{2}$ is the angle for snowball 2

$t_{2}$ is the time since the snowball 2 is thrown until it hits the opponent

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta_{2} t_{2}+\frac{gt_{2}^{2}}{2}$ (4)

Having this clear, let's begin with the answers:

<h2>a) Angle for snowball 2</h2>

Firstly, we have to isolate $t_{1}$ from (2):

$0=0+V_{o}sin\theta_{1} t_{1}+\frac{gt_{1}^{2}}{2}$ (5)

$t_{1}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{1}}{g}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (1):

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{1}(-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{1}}{g})$ (7)

Rewritting (7) and knowing $sin(2\theta)=sen\theta cos\theta$ :

$x=-\frac{V_{o}^{2}}{g} sin(2\theta_{1})$ (8)

$x=-\frac{(14.1 m/s)^{2}}{-9.8 m/s^{2}} sin(2(52\°))$ (9)

$x=19.684 m$ (10) This is the point at which snowball 1 hits and snowball 2 should hit, too.

With this in mind, we have to isolate $t_{2}$ from (4) and substitute it on (3):

$t_{2}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{2}}{g}$ (11)

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{2} (-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{2}}{g})$ (12)

Rewritting (12):

$x=-\frac{V_{o}^{2}}{g} sin(2\theta_{2})$ (13)

Finding $\theta_{2}$ :

$2\theta_{2}=sin^{-1}(\frac{-xg}{V_{o}^{2}})$ (14)

$2\theta_{2}=75.99\°$

$\theta_{2}=37.99\° \approx 38\°$ (15) This is the second angle at which snowball 2 must be thrown. Note this angle is lower than the first angle $(\theta_{2} < \theta_{1})$ .

<h2>b) Time difference between both snowballs</h2>

Now we will find the value of $t_{1}$ and $t_{2}$ from (6) and (11), respectively:

$t_{1}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{1}}{g}$

$t_{1}=-\frac{2(14.1 m/s)sin(52\°)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}$ (16)

$t_{1}=2.267 s$ (17)

$t_{2}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{2}}{g}$

$t_{2}=-\frac{2(14.1 m/s)sin(38\°)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}$ (18)

$t_{2}=1.771 s$ (19)

Since snowball 1 was thrown before snowball 2, we have:

$t_{1}-t=t_{2}$ (20)

Finding the time difference $t$ between both:

$t=t_{1}-t_{2}$ (21)

$t=2.267 s - 1.771 s$

Finally:

$t=0.495 s$

True or false: when hydrochloric acid is dissolved in water the reaction produces carbonand oxygen?

QveST [7]

That has to be FALSE.
Without knowing anything about chemistry, I just notice that
neither Hydrochloric acid (HCl) nor water (H₂O) has any Carbon
in it. So in a reaction between them, there's nowhere to get
any Carbon from.

A puppy weighing 3 kilograms races through the dog park. If she slows from a speed of 2 meters/second to 1 meter/second, what wi

aliya0001 [1]

Ans: Thus, the kinetic energy change = 4.5 J

The mass of puppy = 3kg

Kinetic energy initial = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$
= $\frac{1}{2}*3*4 = 6 kg-m/s2$

Kinetic energy final = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*3*1 = 1.5 kg-m/s2$

Thus, the kinetic energy change = 4.5 J
