A rock (m= 2kg) is shot up vertically at the same time that a ball (m= 0.5kg) is projected horizontally. If both start from the

same height: A. the rock and ball will reach the ground at the same time.
B. the rock will reach the ground first.
C. the ball will reach the ground first.
D. the rock and ball will collide in the air before reaching the ground.
Can you explain why the answer is C?

Answer:

The correct option is C. the ball will reach the ground first.

Explanation:

The ball will reach the ground first since the mass of each object does not affect the rate of fall, both are subject to the same gravitational acceleration 9.81 m / s2. The rock in its vertical movement invests a time that the ball is not released horizontally, so that time of vertical flight of the rock plus the extra height it will have will reach the ground after the rock. Regardless of the friction of the air, it will be different in both objects.

Refraction of sound waves often takes place when:
Ainat [17]
<span>Refraction is where the direction of travel of sound waves is altered by passing through a material of much higher or lower density. Walls that allow sound through are one example, but answer B is more about walls bouncing sound back - that's an example of reflection. The most likely change of density is answer A, air with big temperature differences.</span>

A tree loses water to the air by the process of transpiration at the rate of 110 g/h. This water is replaced by the upward flow
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The answer is 1.87nm/s.

Explanation:

The 110g/hr  water loss must be replaced by 110g/hr of sap. 110g of sap corresponds to a volume of  

110g \div \dfrac{1040*10^3g}{1*10^6cm^3}  = 106cm^3

thus rate of sap replacement is

106cm^3/hr = 106*10^{-6}m^3/3600s  = 2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s

The volume of sap in the vessel of length x is

V = Ax,

where A is the cross sectional area of the vessel.

For 2000 such vessels, the volume is

V = 2000Ax

taking the derivative of both sides we get:

\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 2000A \dfrac{dx}{dt}

on the left-hand-side \dfrac{dx}{dt} is the velocity v of the sap, and on right-hand-side \dfrac{dV}{dt}  = 2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s; therefore,

2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s=2000Av

and since the cross-sectional area is

A = \pi (\dfrac{100*10^{-3}m}{2} )^2 = 7.85*10^{-3}m^2;

therefore,

2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s =2000(7.85*10^{-3}m^2)v

solving for v we get:

v = \dfrac{2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s}{2000(7.85*10^{-3}m^2)}

\boxed{v =1.875*10^{-9}m/s = 1.875nm/s}

which is the upward speed of the sap in each vessel.

HELP WKDUXHWOSUSG PLSSSS

Hi!

givens: initial velocity = 0 m/s

time = 8.5 s

acceleration = 10 m/s^2

Unknown: displacement, velocity final

Equation:

Displacement = 1/2 (at^2) + viT

SS:

Displacement = 1/2 (10 * 8.5^2) + 0

Displacement = 361.25 m in a positive direction.

My math might be a little off, but I'm not sure...

But yeah! Hope this helped :)

Which action will cause the magnetic force to push two magnets closer together?
Sergeu [11.5K]

The action that will cause the magnetic force to push two magnets closer together: is that of attraction which happens when opposite poles of the magnets approach.

<h3>Meaning of magnetic force</h3>

magnetic force can be defined as the effect that is felt by magnetic objects that causes attraction and repulsion.

A magnetic force attracts two magnets when they are in opposite poles and repels them if they are in the same pole.

In conclusion, The action that will cause the magnetic force to push two magnets closer together: is that of attraction which happens when opposite poles of the magnets approach.

If given both the speed of light in a material and an incident angle. How can you find the refracted angle?
Basile [38]

Answer:

r = Sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{v Sini}{c} \right )

Explanation:

Let the speed of light in vacuum is c and the speed of light in medium is v. Let the angle of incidence is i.

By using the definition of refractive index

refractive index of the medium is given by

n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

n = c / v  ..... (1)

Use Snell's law

n = Sin i / Sin r

Where, r be the angle of refraction

From equation (1)

c / v = Sin i / Sin r

Sin r = v Sin i / c

r = Sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{v Sini}{c} \right )
