The angle of elevation changes by 0.0032 rad / sec

Let x (t) be the horizontal distance from you to bird.

Let θ be the angle of elevation of your head.

Then .tan  θ = 20 /x

Differentiating

Sec² = dθ / dt = -20/x².dx/dt

dθ / dt = -20/x².dx/dt.cos²θ

dx/dt = -2m/s   x = 110m

cos²θ = 110²/ (110²) + (20²) = 12100/12500

dθ / dt = 20/ (110)² x (-2) . 12100/12500

=  20 x 2/12500 = 0.0032 radian/s.

Hence ,

The angle of elevation changes by 0.0032 rad / sec

A 0.46-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.2 m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels
Kryger [21]

Answer:

      T = 6.0 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the cord = 0.46 Kg

length of the supports = 7.2 m

time taken to travel = 0.74 s

tension in the chord = ?

using formula for tension calculation

T = \dfrac{v^2.m}{l}

v = \dfrac{l}{s}

v = \dfrac{7.2}{0.74}

v = 9.73 m/s

now, calculation of tension

T = \dfrac{9.73^2\times 0.46}{7.2}

      T = 6.0 N

The tension in the cord is equal to 6.0 N.

True or false? A protostellar cloud spins faster as it contracts
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)

Explanation:

Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.

The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.

It has been suggested, and not facetiously, that life might have originated on Mars and been carried to Earth when a meteor hit
damaskus [11]

Answer:

a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = 3.125*10^6m/s^2

Explanation:

According to Newton's Third Equation of motion

V_f^2-V_i^2=2as

Where:

V_f is the final velocity

V_i is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

In our case:

V_f=V_{escape},  V_i=0,s=4 m

So Equation will become:

V_{escape}^2-V_i^2=2as\\V_{escape}^2-0=2as\\V_{escape}^2=2as\\a=\frac{V_{escape}^2}{2s}\\a=\frac{(5*10^3m)^2}{2*4}\\a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = 3.125*10^6m/s^2

Light of wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm. (a) the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 m
faltersainse [42]

The distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

To find the answer, we have to know about the width of the central maximum.

<h3>How to find the distance between slit and the screen?</h3>
  • It is given that, wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm, and the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 mm.
  • We have the expression for slit width w as,

                           w=\frac{2*wavelength*d}{a}

where, d is the distance between slit and the screen, and a is the slit width.

  • Thus, distance between slit and the screen is,

                           d=\frac{w*a}{2*wavelength} =\frac{8*10^{-3}*0.17*10^{-3}}{560*10^{-9}*2} \\\\d=1.214m

Thus, we can conclude that, the distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.
