A stone tumbles into a mine shaft strikes bottom after falling for 4.2 seconds. How deep is the mine shaft

1 answer:

3 0

$d = u \times t \: + \frac{1}{2} \times a \times {t}^{2}$
Since initial velocity is zero hence , u = 0

=> d = 1/2 * a * t2

$d = 0.5 \times 9.8 \times {4.2}^{2}$
on solving we get

d = 86.436 metres

Note ; Here Gravitational Acceleration is take as , g = 9.8 m/s2

observe the figure given carefully volume of water in each vessel is shown arrange them in order of decreasing pressure at the b

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

The pressure is defined as the product of the density of the liquid by the gravitational acceleration by the height, and can be easily calculated by means of the following equation.

$P=Ro*g*h$

where:

Ro = density of the fluid [kg/m³]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation [m]

In this way we can understand that the greater pressure is achieved by means of the height of the liquid, that is, as long as the fluid has more height, greater pressure will be achieved at the bottom.

Therefore in order of decreasing will be

The largest pressure with the largest height of the liquid, container B. The next is obtained with container D, the next with container A and the lowest pressure with container C.

The pressure decreases as we go from the container B - D - A - C

A bee wants to fly to a flower located due North of the hive on a windy day. The wind blows from East to West at speed 6.68 m/s.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: $53.31\°$ East of North

Explanation:

We have the following data:

Speed of the wind from East to West: $6.68 m/s$

Speed of the bee relative to the air: $8.33 m/s$

If we graph these speeds (which in fact are velocities because are vectors) in a vector diagram, we will have a right triangle in which the airspeed of the bee (its speed relative to te air) is the hypotense and the two sides of the triangle will be the <u>Speed of the wind from East to West</u> (in the horintal part) and the <u>speed due North relative to the ground</u> (in the vertical part).

Now, we need to find the direction the bee should fly directly to the flower (due North):

$sin \theta=\frac{Windspeed-from-East-to-West}{Speed-bee-relative-to-air}$
