Answer:

a) It takes the stone 0.7743 s to reach a height of 11 m for the first time on its way up and 2.899 s to reach again that height on its way down.

b) At t = 0.7743 s the velocity is 10.41 m/s and at t = 2.899 s the velocity is -10.41 m/s.

c) There are two answers because the stone reaches the height of 11 m one time on its way up and one more time again on its way down.

Please, see the attached figures and the explanation for a description of the figures.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations for the height and velocity of the stone are as follows:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height

y0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

v = velocity at time t

a) Let´s calculate the time it takes the stone to reach a height of 11 m. The origin of the frame of reference is at the throwing point so that y0 = 0:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²        

11 m = 18 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²    

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 18 m/s · t - 11 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 0.7743 s and t = 2.899 s

(Notice that I have used more significant figures to avoid error by rounding)

The stone will be two times at a height of 11 m, one on its way up (at 0.7743 s) and one on its way down  (at 2.899 s). Then, it takes the stone 0.7743 s to reach a height of  11 m for the first time.

b)  Let´s use the equation of velocity:

v = v0 + g · t

at t = 0.77443 s

v = 18 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.77443 s

v = 10.41 m/s

at t = 2.899 s

v = 18 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 2.899 s

v = - 10.41 m/s

(Both velocities have to be of the same magnitude but of different sign, that´s why I haven´t rounded the time.)

c) There are two answers because the stone reaches the height of 11 m one time on its way up and one more time again on its way down. On its way up, the velocity is 10.41 m/s and on its way down it is -10.41 m/s.

Figures

The functions to plot are the following:

height in function of time (figure 1, x-axis: time. y-axis: height)

y = -4.9t² + 18t

velocity in function of time (figure 2, x-axis: time. y-axis velocity)

v = -9.8t + 18

Acceleration in function of time (figure 3, x-axis: time. y-axis: acceleration)

a = -9.8

An electric device, which heats water by immersing a resistance wire in the water, generates 50 cal of heat per second when an e
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

0.69 ohm

Explanation:

Heat generated per second, H = 50 cal/s

Potential difference, V = 12 V

Let R is the resistance of coil.

The formula for the heat is given by

H = \frac{V^{2}}{R}t

50\times 4.186 = \frac{12^{2}}{R}\times 1

R = 0.69 ohm

Answer:

he maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum

 f’= f₀  \frac{343}{343 + v_s}

Explanation:

This is a doppler effect exercise, where the sound source is moving

           f = fo \frac{v}{v-v)s}      when the source moves towards the observer

           f ’=f_o  \frac{v}{v+v_{sy}}  Alexandrian source of the observer

the maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum, for both it is the point of maximum approach of the two objects

          f’= f₀  \frac{343}{343 + v_s}

What is crossing-over in geneitcs and why is it important
slava [35]
Crossing over, or recombination, is the exchange of chromosome segments between nonsister chromatids in meiosis. Crossing over creates new combinations of genes in the gametes that are not found in either parent, contributing to genetic diversity.
