A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial velocity of 192 ft/sec. How many seconds will it take for the flare to retu

rn to the sea if h = 1 9 2 t − 1 6 t 2 represents the height of the flare in feet above the sea t sec after it is launched?

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.

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum have the highest level of photon energy
Pani-rosa [81]
The energy carried by one photon is directly proportional to its
frequency.  So the photon energy is greatest for the electromagnetic
waves with the highest frequency / shortest wavelengths. 

That's why when you get past visible light and on up through ultraviolet,
X-rays, and gamma rays, the radiation becomes dangerous ==> each
photon carries enough energy to tear electrons away from their atoms,
ripping molecules apart and damaging cells.

The photon with the highest energy is a gamma-ray photon.

You wad up a piece of paper and throw it into the wastebasket. How far will
vitfil [10]

The range of the piece of paper is C) 1.4 m

Explanation:

The motion of the piece of paper is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant velocity

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with constant acceleration (the acceleration of gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2)

From the equation of motion, it is possible to find an expression for the range (the total horizontal distance covered) of a projectile, which is given by:

d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

where

u is the initial velocity

\theta is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the piece of paper in this problem,

u = 4.3 m/s

\theta=65^{\circ}

Substituting,

d=\frac{(4.3)^2 sin(2\cdot 65^{\circ})}{9.8}=1.45 m \sim 1.4 m

At which points would the river be traveling the slowest?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

This would be traveling at the lower reaches.

Explanation:

A river would be traveling the fastest at the upper reaches and it becomes slower at the middle reaches and the slowest at the lower reaches. A place where water flows fast in a river is where the width is narrow and the bottom is steep. (This is just examples incase you would like to keep notes).

describe an experiment to show how the frequency of a note emitted by a vibrating string depends on the tension of the string
mart [117]
Easy ! 

Take any musical instrument with strings ... a violin, a guitar, etc.

The length of the vibrating part of the strings doesn't change ...
it's the distance from the 'bridge' to the 'nut'.

Pluck any string.  Then, slightly twist the tuning peg for that string,
and pluck the string again.

Twisting the peg only changed the string's tension; the length
couldn't change.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
tighter, then your second pluck had a higher pitch than your first one.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
looser, then your second pluck had a lower pitch than the first one.

Why does the candle light has no shadow when light fall on it?​
andrezito [222]
Shadows are the absence of light, they are created when an object blocks light. In other words, shadows are the product of light particles, known as photons. These particles “bounce off” of the object without reaching the other side. Therefore light by itself will not form a shadow.
