Y - yo = Vo*t - g * (t^2) / 2

Vo = - 9.0 m/s
t = 0.50 s

=> y - yo = -9.0 m/s * 0.5 s - 9.8 m/s^2 * (0.5s)^2 / 2 = - 4.5m - 1.225m = - 5.725 m.

Answer: option c) - 5.7

The left plate of a parallel plate capacitor carries a positive charge Q, and the right plate carries a negative charge -Q. The

True [87]

Answer:

Explanation:

Capacitance of capacitor

= ε₀ A / d , ε₀ is permittivity of space , A is area of plate , d is distance between plates.

= 8.85 x 10⁻¹² x 2 x 10⁻³ / (6 x 10⁻³)

= 2.95 x 10⁻¹² F

Electric field E = V / d , V is potential difference

V = E x d

= 100 x 10³ x 6 x 10⁻³

= 600 V

Charge on the capacitor

= capacitance x potential difference

= 2.95 x 10⁻¹² x 600

= 17.7 x 10¹⁰ C

When a 20-V emf is placed across two resistors in series, a current of 2.0 A is present in each of the resistors. When the same

ehidna [41]

Answer:

7.24 ohm

Explanation:

Let R1 and R2 are resistance of two resistors.

Emf=E=20 V

Current,I=2 A

Current,I'=10 A

We have to find the magnitude of the greater of the two resistances.

In series

$R=R_1+R_2$

$V=IR$

By using the formula

$20=2(R_1+R_2)$

$R_1+R_2=\frac{20}{2}=10$ ...(1)

In parallel

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}$

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{R_2+R_1}{R_1R_2}$

$R=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}$

$20=10(\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}$

$2=\frac{R_1R_2}{10}$

$R_1R_2=20$

$R_2=\frac{20}{R_1}$

Substitute the value

$\frac{20}{R_1}+R_1=10$

$R^2_1+20=10R_1$

$R^2_1-10R_1+20=0$

$R_1=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{(-10)^2-4(20)}}{2}$

By using quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$R_1=\frac{10\pm 2\sqrt 5}{2}$

$R_1=\frac{10+2\sqrt 5}{2}=5+\sqrt 5=7.24 ohm$

$R_1=\frac{10-2\sqrt 5}{2}=2.76 ohm$

Substitute the value

$R_2=\frac{20}{7.24}=2.76 ohm$

$R_2=\frac{20}{2.76}=7.24 ohm$

Hence, the magnitude of the greater of the two resistance=7.24 ohm

Which is a characteristic of projectile motion?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

<h2>Right answer: It follows a curved path </h2>

The movement of a projectile is a movement in two dimensions (forming a curved path: a parabola shape) with <u>constant acceleration. </u>

<u> </u>

A projectile is any body or object that is thrown or projected by means of some force and continues in motion by its own inertia. This means the only force that acts on it while in motion is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u> (in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is $9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ ).

Where gravity influences the <u>vertical movement</u> of the projectile, while <u>the horizontal movement</u> of the projectile is the result of the tendency of any object to remain in motion at a constant speed (according to Newton's 1st law of motion sometimes called Law of Inertia).

The other options are <u>incorrect</u> because are <u>false</u>:

-The forward motion negates air resistance: There is always at least a small percent of air resistance, as long as that movement is done on Earth.

-It has variable acceleration: In projectile motion acceleration is constant (gravity acceleration) .

-It is unaffected by gravity: The only force that acts on the projectile is due gravity.

An object is moving east, and its velocity changes from 65 m/s to 25 m/s in 10 seconds. Which describes the acceleration? negati

hammer [34]

Answer:

we could use the formula, v=u+at,

65=25+a (10), a=4 , since the motion is declerating we have a=-4 m/s2
