Jack and Jill are on two different floors of their high rise office building and looking out of their respective windows. Jack s

ees a flower pot go past his window ledge and Jill sees the same pot go past her window ledge a little while later. The time between the two observed events was 4.6 s. Assume air resistance is negligible.
a) If the speed of the pot as it passes Jill's window is 58.0 m/s, what was its speed when Jack saw it go by?
b) What is the height between the two window ledges?

Answer:

a) speed when Jack sees the pot : 12.92 meters per second

b) height difference 163.115 meters

Explanation:

First to calculate te initial speed we use the acceleration formula:

a= v1-v0/t

Acceleration being gravity's acceleration (9.8 m/s^2)

v1 being the speed when Jill sees the pot

v0 when Jack sees it

and t the time between

Solving for v0 it would be

v1 - a*t = v0

replacing

58 m/s -  9.8 m/s^2 *4.6 s = v0 = 12.92 m/s

For the second question we use the position formula setting y0 and t0 as the position and time when jack sees the pot. (and setting the positive axis downward I.E. one meter below jack would be 1m not -1m)

The formula is

y0 + v0*t + 1/2 g *t^2 = yt

replacing

0m + 12.92m/s* 4.6 s + 1/2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (4.6 s)^2 = 163.115 m

A cylindrical capacitor is made of two concentric cylinders. The inner cylinder has radius r1 = 4 mm, and the outer one a radius
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

E = 9.62*10^-8 J

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the following formula:

E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2     (1)

E: energy stored

C: capacitance

V: potential difference of the capacitor = 4 V

The capacitance for a concentric cylindrical capacitor is:

C=\frac{2\pi \epsilon_o L}{ln(\frac{r_2}{r_1})}     (2)

L: length of the capacitor = 150m

r2: radius of the outer cylinder  = 8mm = 8*10^-3m

r1: radius of the inner cylinder = 4mm = 4*10^-3m

εo: dielectric permittivity of vacuum = 8.85*10^-12C^2/Nm^2

You replace the expression (2) into the equation (1) and replace the values of all parameters:

E=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{2\pi \epsilon_o L}{ln(\frac{r_2}{r_1})})V^2\\\\E=\frac{\pi \epsilon_o L}{ln(\frac{r_2}{r_1})}V^2\\\\E=\frac{\pi (8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2)(150m)}{ln(\frac{8*10^{-3}m}{4*10^{-3}m})}(4V)^2\\\\E=9.62*10^{-8}J

The energy stored in the cylindrical capacitor is 9.62*10-8 J

if a runner's is 400 w as she runs,how much chemical energy does she convert into other forms in 10.0 minutes?
Fiesta28 [93]

Explanation:

The runner runs for a total time of

\Delta t=10.0 min= 600 sΔt=10.0min=600s

The energy converted by the runner during this time is equal to the power of the runner times the total time:

E=P \Delta t=400 W \cdot 600 s =2.4 \cdot 10^5 JE=PΔt=400W⋅600s=2.4⋅10

Question 5 of 5: Someone texting or talking spans an average of 27 seconds after they put the phone down are still thinking abou
AVprozaik [17]
The answer is true. Distraction “latency” lasts for about 27 seconds.

This means that even after driver put down the phone or stop fooling with the navigation system; he or she isn’t fully committed with the driving task. Talking on a cell phone and texting are frequent what people associate with distracted driving, but there are so much more activities behind distracted driving.
