Comparison of the range:

If a second projectile is launched with half of the initial velocity of the first projectile. The range of the second projectile is one-fourth of the first one.

Calculation:

Step-1:

It is given that the first particle has an initial velocity of v_0, and the second particle has an initial velocity of \frac{v_0}{2}. It is required to compare the range of the second projectile with the first one.

It is known that the range of a projectile is calculated as,

R=\frac{u^{2} \sin 2 \theta}{g}

Where u is the initial speed, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and \theta is the angle at which the particle is thrown.

This problem \theta is the same in both cases.

Step-2:

Therefore the range of the first projectile is,

R_1=\frac{v_0^{2} \sin 2 \theta}{g}

The range of the second projectile is,

$$\begin{aligned}R_2&=\frac{(\frac{v_0}{2})^{2} \sin 2 \theta}{g}\\&=\frac{v_0^2\sin 2 \theta}{4g}\\\end{aligned}$$

Therefore,

$$\begin{aligned}\\\frac{R_2}{R_1}&=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow R_2&=\frac{1}{4}R_1\\\end{aligned}\\$$

Winds blowing toward the east are called easterlies.<br><br><br> True or False
eimsori [14]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Winds are named for the cardinal direction they blow from.  Hence, a wind that <em>"blows towards the east"</em>, logically should <u>come from the west </u>and is called a <em>"west wind"</em>.

In thise sense, one of the best examples of this type of wind are the <em>Westerlies</em>, which are are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes and have the characteristic that are stronger during winter and weaker during summer.

Therefore, the statement is false.

A light bulb whose resistance is 240 ohms is connected to a 120 voltage source. What is the current through the bulb?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.5A

Explanation:

Using R = \frac{V}{I},

R is the resistance (in Ohms)

V is the voltage (in V)

I is the current (in A)

240=\frac{120}{I}

I = 0.5A
