Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

y_{o} = initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m

t = time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s

v_{oy} = initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction

a_{y} = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

y = position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack

Using the kinematics equation

y = y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}

inserting the above values

y = 4.5 + (0) (0.65) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (0.65)^{2} \\y = 2.4 m

A particular balloon can be stretched to a maximum surface area of 1257 cm2. The balloon is filled with 3.1 L of helium gas at a

Answer:

The ballon will brust at

<em>Pmax = 518 Torr ≈ 0.687 Atm </em>

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we are going to use the ideal gass law

PV = nRT

Where n (number of moles) and R are constants (in the present case)

Therefore, we can relate to thermodynamic states with their respective pressure, volume and temperature.

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2} --- (*)

Our initial state is:

P1 = 754 torr

V1 = 3.1 L

T1 = 294 K

If we consider the final state at which the ballon will explode, then:

P2 = Pmax

V2 = Vmax

T2 = 273 K

We also know that the maximum surface area is: 1257 cm^2

If we consider a spherical ballon, we can obtain the maximum radius:

R_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{A_{max}}{4 \pi}}

Rmax = 10.001 cm

Therefore, the max volume will be:

V_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{max}^3

Vmax = 4 190.05 cm^3 = 4.19 L

Now, from (*)

P_{max} = P_1 \frac{V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}

Therefore:

Pmax= P1 * (0.687)

That is:

Pmax = 518 Torr

A friend tells you that a lunar eclipse will take place the following week, and invites you to join him to observe the eclipse t
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

y = 80.2 mille

Explanation:

The minimum size of an object that can be seen is determined by the diffraction phenomenon, if we use the Rayleigh criterion that establishes that two objects can be distinguished without the maximum diffraction of a body coincides with the minimum of the other body, therefore so much for the pupil of the eye that it is a circular opening

          θ = 1.22 λ/ d

in a normal eye the diameter of the pupils of d = 2 mm = 0.002 m, suppose the wavelength of maximum sensitivity of the eye λ = 550 nm = 550 10⁻⁹ m

         θ = 1.22 550 10⁻⁹ / 0.002

         θ = 3.355 10⁻⁴ rad

Let's use trigonometry to find the distance supported by this angle, the distance from the moon to the Earth is L = 238900 mille = 2.38900 10⁵ mi

       tan θ = y / L

       y = L tan θ

       y = 2,389 10⁵ tan 3,355 10⁻⁴

       y = 8.02 10¹ mi

       y = 80.2 mille

This is the smallest size of an object seen directly by the eye
