Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Two projectile is fired vertically upward

One has 4 times the mass of other

When Projectile is fired their trajectory is independent of mass of object. Also if they launched with same speed then both achieved same maximum height in same time and will hit the ground at the same moment.

Does specific heat change with mass?

ch4aika [34]

Heat capacity ( C ) does change with mass. However, specific heat is the heatcapacity per unit mass ( c=Cm ). Therefore if you double the amount of mass in your system, you've doubled its heat capacity, but you've kept the specific heat the same. ... Specific gravity is another such quantity.

The components of a 15 meters per second velocity at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal are?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x-component of velocity: 7.5 m/s

y-component of velocity: 13 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is pure trigonometry. Assuming you know trig, there are only a couple of steps to solving this problem. First, split the velocity into components; recall that any vector not directed along an axis has x and y components. Then, remember that sinΘ = opposite/hypotenuse. Applying this to your scenario, you get sin60° = vy/15. Multiplying this out gives you vy=15sin60. Put this into a calculator (make sure it's set to degree mode because the angle in this problem is in degrees) and you should get 12.99, which you can round up to 13 m/s. This is the velocity in the y-direction.

The procedure to find the x-velocity is very similar, but instead of using sine, we will use the cosine of theta. Recall that cosΘ=adjacent/hypotenuse. Once again plugging this scenario's numbers into that, you end up with cos60 = vₓ/15. Multiplying this out gives you vₓ = 15cos60. Once again, plug this into your calculator. 7.5 m/s should be your answer. This is the velocity in the x-direction.

By the way, a quick way to find the components of a vector, whether it's velocity, force, or whatever else, is to use these functions. Generally, if the vector points somewhere that's not along an axis, you can use this rule. The x-component of the vector is equal to hypotenuse*cosΘ and the y-component of the vector is equal to hypotenuse*sinΘ.

Ocean waves are hitting a beach with a frequency of 0.100 Hz. Their average wavelength is 15.0 m. What is their average speed?

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Average speed=1.5 m/s

Frequency of pendulum=93.75Hz

Explanation:

We are given

Frequency, $f=0.100Hz$

Average wavelength = $\lambda=15m$

Speed of pendulum, $v=30m/s$

Wavelength, $\lambda'=0.32m$

We have to find the average speed and frequency of pendulum.

We know that

Speed, $v=\lambda f$

Using the formula

Average speed, $v=15\times 0.1=1.5m/s$

Hence, the average speed =1.5m/s

Frequency, $f=\frac{v}{\lambda'}$

Using the formula

$f=\frac{30}{0.32}$

$f=93.75Hz$

Hence, the frequency of a pendulum=93.75Hz

Sonar is a device that uses reflected sound waves to measure underwater depths. If a sonar signal has a frequency of 288 Hz and

mart [117]

Answer:

5.03 m

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is given by

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

For the sonar signal in this problem,

$f=288 Hz$

$v=1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s$

Substituting into the equation, we find the wavelength:

$\lambda=\frac{1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s}{288 Hz}=5.03 m$

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!! Indicate the reasons why the centripetal acceleration (and centripetal force) always point to the center

maxonik [38]

Well we know the correct answer cannot be "a" bcause velocity is tangent to the circlular path of an object experienting centripical motion. Velocity DOES NOT point inward in centripical motion.

we know the correct answer cannot be "b" because "t" stands for "time" which cannot point in any direction. so, time cannot point toward the center of a circle and therefore this answer must be incorrect.

I would choose answer choice "c" because both force and centripical acceleration point toward the center of the circle.

I do not think answer choice "d" can be correct because the velocity of the mass moves tangent to the circle. velocity = (change in position) / time. Therefore, by definition the mass is moving in the direction of the velocity which does not point to the center of the circle.

does this make sense? any questions?
