An observer standing near a window 5 m high observe that an object falling downwards is passing across the window in 0.5 s. Find

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object in free fall, NOT experiencing parabolic motion, has an equation of

$h(t)=\frac{1}{2} gt^2+h_0$ which says:

The height of an object with respect to time in seconds is equal to the pull of gravity times time-squared plus the height from which it was dropped. Normally we use -9.8 for gravity but you said to use 10, so be it.

For us, h(t) is 5 because we are looking for the height of the window when the object is 5 m off the ground at .5 seconds;

g = 10 m/s/s, and

t = .5sec

$5=\frac{1}{2}(-10)(.5)^2$ +h and

5 = -5(.5)² + h and

5 = -5(.25) + h and

5 = -1.25 + h so

h = 6.25

That's how high the window is above the ground.

The average period of pendulum clock is found to be 1.2s at sea level. The period of the same pendulum on a mountain top is foun

Kipish [7]

Answer:

g' = 10.12m/s^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain, you first calculate the length of the pendulum, by using the information about the period at the sea level.

You use the following formula:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$ (1)

l: length of the pendulum = ?

g: acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.79m/s^2

T: period of the pendulum at sea level = 1.2s

You solve for l in the equation (1):

$l=\frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2}\\\\l=\frac{(9.79m/s^2)(1.2s)^2}{4\pi^2}=0.35m$

Next, you use the information about the length of the pendulum and the period at the top of the mountain, to calculate the acceleration due to gravity in such a place:

$T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g'}}\\\\g'=\frac{4\pi^2l}{T'^2}$

g': acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain

T': new period of the pendulum

$g'=\frac{4\pi^2(0.35m)}{(1.18s)^2}=10.12\frac{m}{s^2}$

The acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain is 10.12m/s^2

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the four methods of waste management?<br>

Nitella [24]

Answer & Explanation: Waste management are all activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. There are several methods of managing waste with its strengths and weaknesses. The strengths include;

* It creates employment

* It keeps the environment clean

* The practice is highly lucrative

* It saves the earth and conserves energy

The weaknesses of the methods of waste management includes;

* The sites are often dangerous

* The process is mostly

* There is a need for global buy-in

* The resultant product had a short life

NASA is giving serious consideration to the concept of solar sailing. A solar sailcraft uses a large, low mass sail and the ener

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Reflective

Explanation:

The radiation pressure of the wave that totally absorbed is given by;

$P_{abs}= \frac{I}{C}$

and While the radiation pressure of the wave totally reflected is given by;

$P_{ref}= \frac{2I}{C}$

Now compare the two-equation you can clearly see that the pressure due to reflection is larger than absorption therefore the sail should be reflective.
