1. Depth of the lake: 50 m

Explanation:

The first part of the problem can be solved by using conservation of energy.

When it is dropped, all the mechanical energy of the ball is potential energy, given by:

U=mgh

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height.

When the bal hits the water, all the mechanical energy has been converted into kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m is the mass and v is the speed. Equalizing the two terms, we have:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\2gh=v^2\\v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(10 m/s^2)(5 m)}=10 m/s

Then the ball travels in the water, keeping this constant velocity, for t=5 s. So, the total distance traveled underwater (which is the depth of the lake) is

d=vt=(10 m/s)(5 s)=50 m


2. Average velocity: 9.2 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity during the whole path of the ball is equal to the ratio between the total distance traveled and the total time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

We already know the total distance: 5 meters above the water and 50 m underwater, so

d = 5 m + 50 m = 55 m

For the total time, we need to calculate the time spent above the water, which is given by

S=\frac{1}{2}gt_a^2\\t_a = \sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(5 m)}{10 m/s^2}}=1 s

So the total time is: 1 second above the water + 5 seconds underwater:

t = 1 s + 5 s = 6 s

Therefore, the average velocity is

v=\frac{55 m}{6 s}=9.2 m/s

OLga [1]

Answer:

\theta = 106.3 degree

Explanation:

As we know that

\vec w = -\hat i + 7\hat j

\vec v = 7\hat i - \hat j

also we know that

\vec v. \vec w = -14

it is given as

\vec v. \vec w = (-\hat i + 7\hat j).(7\hat i - \hat j)

\vec v. \vec w = - 7 - 7 = -14

also we can find the magnitude of two vectors as

|v| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (7)^2}

|v| = \sqrt{50}

similarly we have

|w| = \sqrt{(7^2) + (-1)^2}

|w| = \sqrt{50}

now we know the formula of dot product as

\vec v. \vec w = |v||w| cos\theta

-14 = (\sqrt{50})^2cos\theta

\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-14}{50})

\theta = 106.3 degree

Answer:

5.0 atm

Explanation:

P₁V₁=P₂V₂

P₁V₁/V₂=P₂

(1)(2.5)/(0•50)=P₂

P₂=5

Pressure is now 5.0 atm

A cylinder with a movable piston contains 2.00 g of helium, He, at room temperature. More helium was added to the cylinder and t
Katen [24]

Answer:

0.358g

Explanation:

Density of Helium = 0.179g/L

ρ=m/v

m=ρv

when the volume was 2L

m1= 0.179*2

m1=0.358g

when the volume increased to 4L

m2= 0.179*4

m2=0.716g

gram of helium added = 0.716g-0.358g

=0.358g

The displacement vector A and B when added together , give the resultant vector R so that R= A+B use the data in the drawing and
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The addition of vectors involve both magnitude and direction. In this case, we make use of a triangle to visualize the problem. The length of two sides were given while the measure of the angle between the two sides can be derived. We then assign variables for each of the given quantities.

Let:

b = length of one side = 8 m
c = length of one side = 6 m
A = angle between b and c = 90°-25° = 75°

We then use the cosine law to find the length of the unknown side. The cosine law results to the formula: a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2*b*c*cos(A). Substituting the values, we then have: a = sqrt[(8)^2 + (6)^2 -2(8)(6)cos(75°)]. Finally, we have a = 8.6691 m.

Next, we make use of the sine law to get the angle, B, which is opposite to the side B. The sine law results to the formula: sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b and consequently, sin(75)/8.6691 = sin(B)/8. We then get B = 63.0464°. However, the direction of the resultant vector is given by the angle Θ which is Θ = 90° - 63.0464° = 26.9536°.

In summary, the resultant vector has a magnitude of 8.6691 m and it makes an angle equal to 26.9536° with the x-axis.
