How long would it take an object to reach the ground from the top of a building that is 470 feet tall? Round to the nearest tent

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

It would take the object 5.4 s to reach the ground.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the height of a free-falling object at any given time, neglecting air resistance, is the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

h = height of the object at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-32.2 ft/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

t = time

Let´s supose that the object is dropped and not thrown so that v0 = 0. Then:

h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find the time at which h = 0:

0 = 470 ft - 1/2 · 32.2 ft/s² · t²

Solving for t:

-470 ft = -16.1 ft/s² · t²

-470 ft / -16.1 ft/s² = t²

t = 5.4 s

Two identical freight cars roll without friction (one at 1 m/s, the other at 2 m/s) toward each other on a level track. They col

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

They collide, couple together, and roll away in the direction that <u>the 2m/s car was rolling in.</u>

Explanation:

We should start off with stating that the conservation of momentum is used here.

Momentum = mass * speed

Since, mass of both freight cars is the same, the speed determines which has more momentum.

Thus, the momentum of the 2 m/s freight car is twice that of the 1 m/s freight car.

The final speed is calculated as below:

mass * (velocity of first freight car) + mass * (velocity of second freight car) = (mass of both freight cars) * final velocity

(m * V1) + (m * V2) = (2m * V)

Let's substitute the velocities 1m/s for the first car, and - 2m/s for the second. (since the second is opposite in direction)

We get:

$m*1 + m*(-2) = 2m*V$

solving this we get:

V = - 0.5 m/s

Thus we can see that both cars will roll away in the direction that the 2 m/s car was going in. (because of the negative sign in the answer)

Plain electromagnetic wave (in air) has a frequency of 1 MHz and its B-field amplitude is 9 nT a. What is the wavelength in air?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Part a)

$\lambda = 300 m$

Part b)

$E = 2.7 N/C$

Part c)

$I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2$

$P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that frequency = 1 MHz

speed of electromagnetic wave is same as speed of light

So the wavelength is given as

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

$\lambda = \frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^6}$

$\lambda = 300 m$

Part b)

As we know the relation between electric field and magnetic field

$E = Bc$

$E = (9 \times 10^{-9})(3\times 10^8)$

$E = 2.7 N/C$

Part c)

Intensity of wave is given as

$I = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2c$

$I = \frac{1}{2}(8.85 \times 10^{-12})(2.7)^2(3\times 10^8)$

$I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2$

Pressure is defined as ratio of intensity and speed

$P = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{9.68\times 10^{-3}}{3\times 10^8}$

$P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2$
