A kangaroo jumps up with an initial velocity of 36 feet persecond from the ground (assume its starting height is 0 feet).Use the

vertical motion model, h-16t2 + ut + s, where vis the initial velocity in feet per second and s is the height infeet, to calculate the amount of time the kangaroo is in the airbefore it hits the ground again. Round your answer to thenearest tenth if necessary.Time in air:seconds

Given

Initial velocity:

36 ft/s

Initial height:

0 ft

Vertical motion model:

h(t) = -16t^2 + ut + s

v = initial velocity

s = is the height

Procedure

We are going to use the model provided for the vertical motion.

\begin{gathered} h(t)=-16t^2+36t+0 \\ h(t)=-16t^2+36t \end{gathered}

We know that at the maximum height the final velocity is 0.

Then we will use the following expression to calculate the maximum height:

\begin{gathered} v^2_f=v^2_o-2ah_{\max } \\ 0=v^2_o-2ah_{\max } \\ 2ah_{\max }=v^2_o \\ h_{\max }=\frac{v^2_o}{2a} \\ h_{\max }=\frac{(36ft/s)^2}{2\cdot32ft/s^2} \\ h_{\max }=20.25\text{ ft} \end{gathered}

Now for time:

\begin{gathered} 20.25=-16t^2+36t \\ 16t^2-36t+20.25=0 \end{gathered}

Solving for t,

\begin{gathered} t_1=2.25 \\ t_2=0 \end{gathered}

The total time the kangaroo takes in the air is 2.3s.

A test charge of +4 µC is placed halfway between a charge of +6 µC and another of +2 µC separated by 20 cm. (a) What is the magn
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude: 14.4 N

(b) Away from the +6 µC charge

Explanation:

As the test charge has the same sign, the force that the other charges exert on it will be a repulsive force. The magnitude of each of the forces will be:

F_e = K\frac{qq_{test}}{r^2}

K is the Coulomb constant equal to 9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2, q and qtest is the charge of the particles, and r is the distance between the particles.

Let's say that a force that goes toward the +6 µC charge is positive, then:

F_e_1 = K\frac{q_1q_{test}}{r^2}=-9*10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2} \frac{6*10^{-6}C*4*10^{-6}C}{(0.1m)^2} =-21.6 N

F_e_2 = K\frac{q_2q_{test}}{r^2}=9*10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2} \frac{2*10^{-6}C*4*10^{-6}C}{(0.1m)^2} =7.2 N

The magnitude will be:

F_e = -21.6 + 7.2 = -14.4 N, away from the +6 µC charge

to what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the thermal radiation trapped in a greenhouse belong to?​
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Considerando, que al tope de la atmósfera llega un 100% de la radiación solar, de este total, sólo un 25% llega directamente a la superficie de la Tierra y un 25% es dispersado por la atmósfera como radiación difusa hacia la superficie, esto hace que cerca de un 50% de la radiación total incidente llegue a la ...

A conductor of radius r, length and resistivity ρ has resistance r. what is the new resistance if it is stretched to 4 times its
max2010maxim [7]
The resistance of a conductor is given by
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
where L is the length of the wire, \rho the resistivity of the material and A the cross-sectional area.

We can see that if all the other quantities do not change, if the new length of the conductor is 4 times the original length: L'=4 L, then the new resistance is also 4 times the original value:
R'= \frac{\rho L'}{A}= \frac{\rho 4 L}{A}=4  \frac{\rho L}{A}=4 R
