If a mountain goat starts a rock slide and the rocks crash down the slope 100 m. If the rocks reach the bottom in 5 s, then the acceleration of the rock would be 8 meters/second².

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

The rate of change of the velocity with respect to time is known as the acceleration of the object.

As given in the problem a mountain goat starts a rock slide and the rocks crash down the slope 100 m. If the rocks reach the bottom in 5 s,

initial velocity of rock = 0 m/s

displacement = 100 meters

time = 5 seconds

s = ut + 0.5at²

100 = 0 + 12.5a

a = 100/12.5

  = 8 meters/second²

Thus, the acceleration of the rock would be 8 meters/second².

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Number of turns per unit length will be n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m

Explanation:

We have given that strength of the magnetic field produced by the solenoid B = 7 T

Current in the solenoid i = 200 A

Let the number of turns per unit length is n

Magnetic field due to solenoid is given as B=\mu ni here \mu is permeability of free space n is number of turns per unit length and i is current

So 7=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times  n\times 200

n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m

spotlight on a boat is 2.5 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is 8.0 m horizontally displaced fr
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .

From the figure

Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8

cot i = 2.5 / 8

Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2

i = 72.65°

From snell's law

sini / sin r = refractive index

sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333

sin r = .9545  / 1.333

= .72

r = 46⁰

From the figure

Tan r  = d / 4

Tan 46 = d /4

d = 4 x Tan 46

= 4 x 1.0355

=4.14 m .

A series circuit is composed of two resistors:
WITCHER [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.3 Amps

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

A circuit with resistors, R1 and R2

R1 = 7 Ω

R2 = 11 Ω

Voltage = 24 V

We are required to calculate the current in the circuit.

<h3>Step 1: We need to find the effective resistance.</h3>

When resistors are arranged in series, the effective resistance is calculated by;

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ..........Rₙ

Therefore;

Total resistance = 7 + 11

                          = 18 Ω

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the current in the circuit</h3>

From the ohm's law;

V = IR

Rearranging the formula;

I = V/R

Thus;

I = 24 V ÷ 18 Ω

 = 1.333 Amps

= 1.3 Amps

Thus, the current in the circuit is 1.3 Amps

A loud sound is produced in the downtown section of a city. Which of the following is least likely to occur with the sound wave
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A. The sound wave will reflect off Buildings and automobiles.

Explanation:

This is because the sound waves would more likely propagate through diffraction through buildings and transmission through the air. It is also more likely to be absorbed by buildings than for multiple reflections to occur off buildings and automobiles. In the process of reflection, these materials would absorb the sound energy thereby reducing its ability to reflect.

Suppose a rocket ship in deep space moves with constant acceleration equal to 9.80 m/s2, which gives the illusion of normal grav
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

a) 3673469.39 seconds

b) 6.61×10¹⁴ m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0.12×3×10⁸ m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0.12\times 3\times 10^8=0+9.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0.12\times 3\times 10^8}{9.8}=3673469.39\ s

Time taken to reach 12% of light speed is 3673469.39 seconds

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{(0.12\times 3\times 10^8)^2-0^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\Rightarrow s=6.61 \times 10^{14}\ m

The distance it would have to travel is 6.61×10¹⁴ m
