Answer:

t = 2 s

Explanation:

In order to find the time taken by the stone to fall from the top of the building to the ground we can use 2nd equation of motion. 2nd equation of motion is as follows:

s = Vit + (0.5)gt²

where,

t = time = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity = 20 m/s

s = height of building = 60 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

60 m = (20 m/s)t + (0.5)(9.8 m/s²)t²

4.9t² + 20t - 60 = 0

solving this quadratic equation we get:

t = -6.1 s   (OR)   t = 2 s

Since, the time cannot be negative in magnitude.

Therefore,

<u>t = 2 s</u>

Which statement correctly differentiates between transmitters and receivers?
jeka94

Answer:

Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

(1).Transmitters have antennas, and receivers do not have antennas.

Nope. To send signals transmitters need antennas, and to receive signals   the receivers need antennas as well.

(2). Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves.

This is true. Transmitters are for transmitting and receivers are for     receiving EM signals.

(3). Transmitters have demodulators, and receivers have modulators.

No, it is the other way around. Transmitters have modulators, and          receivers have demodulators.

(4). Transmitters do not have amplifiers, and receivers have amplifiers.

Nope. Both the transmitters and the receivers need amplifiers.    Transmitters need them to increase the power of the broadcast, and   receivers need them to amplify the signal for processing.

Therefore, only the 2nd statement "Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves." is correct.

An object has an angular velocity. It also has an angular acceleration due to torques that are present. Therefore, the angular v
shusha [124]

Answer:

 α = 0 ,    w = w₀

Explanation:

Torque is related to angular acceleration by Newton's second law for rotational motion.

        τ = I α

Where τ is the torque, I the moment of inertia and α the angular acceleration.

If we apply an external torque for the sum of all torques to be zero, the angular acceleration must fall to zero

         α = 0

 

Since the acceleration is zero, the angular velocity you have at that time is constantly killed.

           w = w₀ + α t

          w = w₀ + 0
