From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
= 2×9.81×0.43
= 8.4366
u = √8.4366
=2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
= 2.905/9.81
= 0.296 seconds

What magnification will be produced by a lens of power –4.00 D (such as might be used to correct myopia) if an object is held 43

kiruha [24]

Answer:

The magnification is $m = 0.3674$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power of the lens is $P = -4.00 D(dioptre)$

Generally $1 dioptre = 1 \ meter$

The object distance is $u = -43 \ cm$ the negative sign is because the distance is measured in the opposite direction of incident light (i.e away )

Generally the focal length is mathematically represented as

$f = \frac{1}{P}$

=> $f = \frac{1}{4.00 }$

=> $f = 0.25 \ m$

converting to cm

=> $f = 0.25 \ m = 0.25 * 100 = 25 \ cm$

Generally from lens equation we have that

$\frac{1}{f} +\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{u}$

=> $\frac{1}{25} +\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{-43}$

=> $v = -15.8 \ cm$

Generally the magnification is mathematically represented as

$m = \frac{v}{u}$

=> $m = \frac{- 15.8}{-43}$

=> $m = 0.3674$

If you connected 10 of these 12V (10 W) lamps in parallel, to the 12V source, how much current would the source have to supply

Flauer [41]

Answer:

$T=8.33A$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of battery $n=10$

Voltage source $E=12V$

Lamp Power $P=10W$

Generally the equation for Resistance is mathematically given by

$R=\frac{V^2}{P}$

$R=\frac{12^2}{10}$

$R=14.4ohms$

Therefore

$R_{eq}=\frac{14.4}{10}$

$R_{eq}=1.44$

Generally the equation for Current is mathematically given by

$T=\ffrac{V}{Req}$

$T=\frac{12}{1.44}$

$T=8.33A$

A soldier throws a grenade horizontally from the top of a cliff. Which of the following curves best describes the path taken by

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

4. Parabola

Explanation:

The motion of the flight of the grenade is a projectile motion, it's shape is best illustrated using a parabolic diagram.

It's not a circle as the path is not totally round.

It's not an ellipse as the path of motion is not a a completely bounded shape.

Its not a hyperbola as a hyperbola is an open curve with two branches.

Its a parabolic shape because a parabola has just one branch
