Answer:

 v = 42.92 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

initial speed of the ball, v = 11 m/s

time taken to hit the ground = 5.5 m/s

velocity of the ball just before it hit the ground, v = ?

time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height

using equation of motion

 v = u + at

final velocity = 0 m/s  

 0 = 11 - 9.8 t

  t = 1.12 s.

time taken by the ball to reach the water from the maximum height

 t' - 5.5 -1.12 = 4.38 s

using equation of motion for the calculation of speed just before it hit the water.

 v  = u + a t

 v = 0 + 9.8 x 4.38

 v = 42.92 m/s

Velocity of the ball just before it reaches the water is equal to v = 42.92 m/s

How far did a frog jump if he travels at a rate of 2.1 m/s for 10 seconds?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

21 m

Explanation:

The motion of the frog is a uniform motion (constant speed), therefore we can find the distance travelled by using

d=vt

where

d is the distance covered

v is the speed

t is the time

The frog in this problem has a speed of

v = 2.1 m/s

and therefore, after t = 10 s, the distance it covered is

d=(2.1)(10)=21 m

Three identical resistors are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance increases by 630 when one resistor is removed and
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

each resistor is 540 Ω

Explanation:

Let's assign the letter R to the resistance of the three resistors involved in this problem. So, to start with, the three resistors are placed in parallel, which results in an equivalent resistance R_e defined by the formula:

\frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R} } +\frac{1}{R} } +\frac{1}{R} \\\frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{3}{R} \\R_e=\frac{R}{3}

Therefore, R/3 is the equivalent resistance of the initial circuit.

In the second circuit, two of the resistors are in parallel, so they are equivalent to:

\frac{1}{R'_e}=\frac{1}{R} +\frac{1}{R}\\\frac{1}{R'_e}=\frac{2}{R} \\R'_e=\frac{R}{2} \\

and when this is combined with the third resistor in series, the equivalent resistance (R''_e) of this new circuit becomes the addition of the above calculated resistance plus the resistor R (because these are connected in series):

R''_e=R'_e+R\\R''_e=\frac{R}{2} +R\\R''_e=\frac{3R}{2}

The problem states that the difference between the equivalent resistances in both circuits is given by:

R''_e=R_e+630 \,\Omega

so, we can replace our found values for the equivalent resistors (which are both in terms of R) and solve for R in this last equation:

\frac{3R}{2} =\frac{R}{3} +630\,\Omega\\\frac{3R}{2} -\frac{R}{3} = 630\,\Omega\\\frac{7R}{6} = 630\,\Omega\\\\R=\frac{6}{7} *630\,\Omega\\R=540\,\Omega
