Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a)  t1 = 2.99 s ≈ 3 s

b)  vf = 39.43 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 10 m/s

h = 74 m

g = 9.81 m/s

t = ?   time to reach the ground

vf = ?   final speed

a)    h = vot + (1/2)gt²

     74 = 10t + (1/2)9.81t²

     4.9t² + 10t -74 = 0                  solve by using quadratic formula

   

   t = (-b ± √ (b² -4ac) / 2a

   t = (-10 ± √ (10² -4(4.9(-74) / 2(4.9)

   t = (-10 ± √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81

  t1 = (-10 + √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81               t2 = (-10 - √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81

  t1 = (-10 ± 39.38 ) / 9.81                    t2 = (-10 - 39.38) / 9.81

   t1 = 2.99 s ≈ 3 s                               t2 = is negative then is wrong there are

                                                                   no negative times.

b) Formula vf = vo + gt

                  vf = 10 + (9.81)(3)

                  vf = 10 + 29.43

                  vf = 39.43 m/s

Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with a w
amm1812

Answer:

1) f= 8.6 GHz

2) t= 0.2 ms

Explanation:

1)

  • Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.
  • There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:

        v = \lambda * f (1)

  • Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:

       f =\frac{c}{\lambda} =\frac{3e8m/s}{0.035m} = 8.57e9 Hz (2)

⇒     f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)

2)

  • Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       v =\frac{d}{t} (3)

       where v= c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s

       d= distance between mountaintops = 52 km = 52*10³ m

  • Solving for t, we get:

       t = \frac{d}{c} = \frac{52e3m}{3e8m/s} = 17.3e-5 sec = 0.173e-3 sec = 0.173 ms (4)

       ⇒  t = 0.2 ms (with two significative figures)

What is the length of the shadow cast on the vertical screen by your 10.0 cm hand if it is held at an angle of θ=30.0∘ above hor
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The  length is  D  =  5 \ cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told  that

     The  length of the  hand is  l  =  10.0 \ cm

      The  angle at the hand is  held is  \theta  =  30 ^o

Generally resolving the length the length of the hand to it vertical component we obtain that the length of the shadow on the vertical wall is mathematically evaluated as

             D  =  l * sin(\theta )

substituting values

             D  =  10 * sin (30)

             D  =  5 \ cm
