The distance a dropped object falls, with gravity and no air resistance:

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (falling time)²

Without air resistance, the horizontal motion has no effect on the fall.

Acceleration of Earth gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (falling time)²

Distance = (1/2) (9.81 m/s²) (3.0 s)²

Distance = (0.5) x (9.81 m/s²) x (9.0 s²)

Distance = (0.5 x 9.81 x 9.0) (m-s² / s²)

Distance = 44.15 meters

We don't care how fast the bird was flying horizontally.  It doesn't change anything.  (It DOES determine how far ahead of the drop point the clam hits the ground.  Most problems like this ask for that distance.  This one didn't.)

Discuss impact of Newton's second law on roads​
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The second law: When a force is applied to a car, the change in motion is proportional to the force divided by the mass of the car. This law is expressed by the famous equation F = ma, where F is a force, m is the mass of the car, and a is the acceleration, or change in motion, of the car

How efficient is a pulley system if it enables you to lift a 600.0 Newton engine 0.600 meters if you exerted 35.7 Newtons of for
muminat

Answer:

η = 0.882 = 88.2 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pulley system can be given as follows:

\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{In}}\\\\

where,

η = efficiency of pulley system = ?

W_out = Output Work = (600 N)(0.6 m) = 360 J

W_in = Input Work = (35.7 N)(11.43 m) = 408.051 J

Therefore,

\eta = \frac{360\ J}{408.051\ J}

<u>η = 0.882 = 88.2 %</u>

A closely wound search coil has an area of 3.21 cm2, 120 turns, and a resistance of 58.7 O. It is connected to a charge-measurin
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The magnetic field in the System is 0.095T

Explanation:

To solve the exercise it is necessary to use the concepts related to Faraday's Law, magnetic flux and ohm's law.

By Faraday's law we know that

\epsilon = \frac{NBA}{t}

Where,

\epsilon  =electromotive force

N = Number of loops

B = Magnetic field

A = Area

t= Time

For Ohm's law we now that,

V = IR

Where,

I = Current

R = Resistance

V = Voltage (Same that the electromotive force at this case)

In this system we have that the resistance in series of coil and charge measuring device is given by,

R = R_c + R_d

And that the current can be expressed as function of charge and time, then

I = \frac{q}{t}

Equation Faraday's law and Ohm's law we have,

V = \epsilon

IR = \frac{NBA}{t}

(\frac{q}{t})(R_c+R_d) = \frac{NBA}{t}

Re-arrange for Magnetic Field B, we have

B = \frac{q(R_c+R_d)}{NA}

Our values are given as,

R_c = 58.7\Omega

R_d = 45.5\Omega

N = 120

q = 3.53*10^{-5}C

A = 3.21cm^2 = 3.21*10^{-4}m^2

Replacing,

B = \frac{(3.53*10^{-5})(58.7+45.5)}{120*3.21*10^{-4}}

B = 0.095T

Therefore the magnetic field in the System is 0.095T

A 40-kg uniform semicircular sign 1.6 m in diameter is supported by two wires as shown. What
garri49 [273]

Answer:

T1 = 131.4 [N]

T2 = 261 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must make a sketch of how will be the semicircle, for this reason we conducted an internet search, to find the scheme of the problem. This scheme is attached in the first image.

Then we make a free body diagram, with this free body diagram, we raise the forces that act on the body. Since it is a problem involving static equilibrium, the sum of forces in any direction and moments must be equal to zero.

By performing a sum of forces on the Y axis equal to zero we can find an equation that relates the forces of tension T1 & T2.

The second equation can be determined by summing moments equal to zero, around the point of application of the T1 force. In this way we find the T2 force.

The value of T2, is replaced in the first equation and we can find the value for T1.

Therefore

T1 = 131.4 [N]

T2 = 261 [N]

The free body diagram and the developed equations can be seen in the second attached image.
