Answer: 80m

Explanation:

Distance of balloon to the ground is 3150m

Let the distance of Menin's pocket to the ground be x

Let the distance between Menin's pocket to the balloon be y

Hence, x=3150-y------1

Using the equation of motion,

V^2= U^s + 2gs--------2

U= initial speed is 0m/s

g is replaced with a since the acceleration is under gravity (g) and not straight line (a), hence g is taken as 10m/s

40m/s is contant since U (the coin is at rest is 0) hence V =40m/s

Slotting our values into equation 2

40^2= 0^2 + 2 * 10* (3150-y)

1600 = 0 + 63000 - 20y

1600 - 63000 = - 20y

-61400 = - 20y minus cancel out minus on both sides of the equation

61400 = 20y

Hence y = 61400/20

3070m

Hence, recall equation 1

x = 3150 - 3070

80m

I hope this solve the problem.

Answer:

Kinetic friction is lesser than limiting friction. Two surfaces are rubbed together, first with a smaller force and then with a greater force.

N76 [4]

Answer: The total momentum before the docking maneuver is $mV_{1}+MV_{2}$ and after the docking maneuver is $(m+M) U$

Explanation:

Linear momentum $p$ (generally just called momentum) is defined as mass in motion and is given by the following equation:

$p=m.v$

Where $m$ is the mass of the object and $v$ its velocity.

According to the conservation of momentum law:

"If two objects or bodies are in a closed system and both collide, the total momentum of these two objects before the collision $p_{i}$ will be the same as the total momentum of these same two objects after the collision $p_{f}$ ".

$p_{i}=p_{f}$

This means, that although the momentum of each object may change after the collision, the total momentum of the system does not change.

Now, the docking of a space vehicle with the space station is an inelastic collision, which means both objects remain together after the collision.

Hence, the initial momentum is:

$p_{i}=mV_{1}+MV_{2}$

Where:

$m$ is the mass of the vehicle

$V_{1}$ is the velocity of th vehicle

$M$ is the mass of the space station

$V_{2}$ is the velocity of the space station

And the final momentum is:

$p_{f}=(m+M)U$

Where:

$U$ is the velocity of the vehicle and space station docked

You are holding one end of an elastic cord that is fastened to a wall 3.0 m away. You begin shaking the end of the cord at 2.3 H

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Time take to fill the standing wave to the entire length of the string is 1.3 sec.

Explanation:

Given :

The length of the one end $x=$ $3m$ , frequency of the wave $f$ = 2.3 Hz, wavelength of the wave λ = 1 m.

Standing wave is the example of the transverse wave, standing wave doesn't transfer energy in a medium.

We know,

∴ $v = f$ λ

Where $v =$ speed of the standing wave.

also, ∴ $v=\frac{x}{t}$

where $t =$ time take to fill entire length of the string.

Compare above both equation,

⇒ $t =$ $\frac{3}{2.3}$ sec

$t = 1.3sec$

Therefore, the time taken to fill entire length 0f the string is 1.3 sec.

suggest an experiment to prove that the rate of evaporation of a liquid depends on its surface area vapour already present in su

gulaghasi [49]

That's two different things it depends on:

-- surface area exposed to the air
AND
-- vapor already present in the surrounding air.

Here's what I have in mind for an experiment to show those two dependencies:

-- a closed box with a wall down the middle, separating it into two closed sections;

-- a little round hole in the east outer wall, another one in the west outer wall,
and another one in the wall between the sections;
So that if you wanted to, you could carefully stick a soda straw straight into one side,
through one section, through the wall, through the other section, and out the other wall.

-- a tiny fan that blows air through a tube into the hole in one outer wall.

Experiment A:

-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a narrow dish, with a small surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a wide dish, with a large surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
Show that the 1 ounce of water evaporated faster 
when it had more surface area.
============================================
============================================

Experiment B:

-- Again, pour 1 ounce of water into the wide dish with the large surface area.
-- Again, set the dish in the second half of the box ... the one the air passes
through just before it leaves the box.
-- This time, place another wide dish full of water in the first section of the box,
so that the air has to pass over it before it gets through the wall to the wide dish
in the second section. Now, the air that's evaporating water from the dish in the
second section already has vapor in it before it does the job.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
==========================================
Show that it took longer to evaporate when the air 
blowing over it was already loaded with vapor.
==========================================
