We use the formula,

h= ut- 16 t^2

Here, h is the  variable  represents the height of the flare  in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

0 = 192 t - 16 t^2  \\\\ 16 t( 12 - t ) =0 \\\\ t = 12 s.

Here, t= 0 neglect because it is  the time when the flare is launched.

Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.

9.58 A spring of equilibrium length L1 and spring constant k1 hangs from the ceiling. Mass m1 is suspended from its lower end. T
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The distance of m2 from the ceiling is L1 +L2 + m1g/k1 + m2g/k1 + m2g/k2.

See attachment below for full solution

Explanation:

This is so because the the attached mass m1 on the spring causes the first spring to stretch by a distance of m1g/k1 (hookes law). This plus the equilibrium lengtb of the spring gives the position of the mass m1 from the ceiling. The second mass mass m2 causes both springs 1 and 2 to stretch by an amout proportional to its weight just like above. The respective stretchings are m2g/k1 for spring 1 and m2g/k2 for spring 2. These plus the position of m1 and the equilibrium length of spring 2 L2 gives the distance of L2 from the ceiling.

What influences the strength of an electric field?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

The charge alters that space, causing any other charged object that enters the space to be affected by this field. The strength of the electric field is dependent upon how charged the object creating the field is and upon the distance of separation from the charged object.

Driving Zone 7 corresponds with
stepan [7]
Your driving zone refers to the areas of space around your car, it refers to all the area around your car as far as your eyes can see. 
Each car has seven zones numbered from 1 to 7. Driving zone 7 corresponds with THE SPACE YOUR VEHICLE IS OCCUPYING. The other zones are as follows:
zone 1 = area directly infront of your car
zone 2 = your left lane
zone 3 = your right lane
zone 4 = left rear of your car
zone 5 = right rear of your car 
zone 6 = area directly behind your car.

Why do surface winds tend to cross the isobars?
scZoUnD [109]
Geostrophic winds blows parallel to the isobars. That is because the Coriolis force and pressure gradient force ( PGF ) are in balance. But near the surface the friction can act to change the direction of the wind and to slow it down. Coriolis force decreases at the surface and PGF stays the same. The difference in terrain conditions affects how much friction is exerted. Hills and forests force the wind to change direction more than flat areas. Answer: Friction reduces the speed so Coriolis is weakened.
