You are trying to find out how high you have to pitch a water balloon in order for it to burst when it hits the ground. You disc

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

You found that the best height to pitch a water balloon in order for it to

burst when it hits the ground is 12 meters.

We consider that the 12 meters is the maximum height, so the velocity

at this height is zero.

To find the velocity when the balloon hits the ground lets use the rule

v² = u² + 2gh, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, g is

the acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

u = 0 , h = 12 m , g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values in the equation above

v² = 0 + 2(9.8)(12)

v² = 235.2

Take square root for both sides

v = ± $\sqrt{235.2}$

The velocity is downward, then it's a negative value

Then v = -15.34 m/s

The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s

What is displacement

omeli [17]

The word displacement implies that an object has moved, or has been displaced. Displacement is defined to be the change in position of an object.

Displacement is defined as the act of moving someone or something from one position to another or the measurement of the volume replaced by something else

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.046 mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 6.20 m away are 8.9 cm apart n

Elanso [62]

Answer:

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is given as ;

y = mλD/d

Where;

D is the distance of the screen from the slits = 6.2 m

d is the distance between the two slits = 0.046 mm = 0.046 x 10^(-3) m

The fringes on the screen are 8.9 cm = 0.089 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y = 0.089 m from the center of the pattern.

Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:

y = mλD/d

So, λ = dy/mD

Thus,

λ = (0.046 x 10^(-3) x 0.089)/(1 x 6.2)

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. if she starts from rest, how far has she traveled in:

Stells [14]

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. if she starts from rest, how far has she traveled in: 2 seconds

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

From the question above,

Applying equation of motion,

s = ut+at²/2....................... Equation 1

Where t = time, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

make s the subject of the equation,

Given: a = 1.8 m/s², t = 2 seconds, u = 0 m/s (from rest)

Substitute these value into equation 1

s = 0(2)+1.8(2²)/2

s = 1.2(4)/2

s = 2.4 m.

Hence she has traveled 2.4 m

una bala de 20 g choca con un fango como se muestra en la figura y penetra una distancia de 6 cm antes de detenerse. calcule la

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

A 20g bullet collides with a mud as shown in the figure and penetrates a distance of 6cm before stopping. calculate the braking force f if the input speed was 80m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A bullet of mass

M = 20g = 0.02kg

The bullet is fired into a mud initially at rest

The bullet penetrate a distance of 6cm in the mud

S = 6cm = 0.06m

The input velocity into the mud is 80m/s, this implies that, the initial velocity is 80m/s

U = 80m/s

So, the bullet stop after a distance of 6cm, so the final velocity is 0m/s

V = 0m/s

So, we need to find the braking force

Breaking force (F) is given as

F = ma

Where m is mass and 'a' is deceleration

So, we need to find the deceleration, using equation of motion

V² = U² + 2as

0² = 80² + 2 × a × 0.06

0 = 6400 + 0.12a

0.12a = -6400

a = -6400 / 0.12

a = - 53,333.33 m/s²

So, the negative sign shows that the bullet is decelerating

So, a = 53,333.33 m/s²

So, breaking force

F = ma

F = 0.02 × 53,333.33

F = 1066.67 N

The breaking force is 1066.67 N

Dado que,

Una bala de masa

M = 20 g = 0.02 kg

La bala se dispara en un lodo inicialmente en reposo

La bala penetra una distancia de 6 cm en el barro.

S = 6 cm = 0.06 m

La velocidad de entrada al lodo es de 80 m / s, esto implica que la velocidad inicial es de 80 m / s

U = 80 m / s

Entonces, la bala se detiene después de una distancia de 6 cm, por lo que la velocidad final es de 0 m / s

V = 0 m / s

Entonces, necesitamos encontrar la fuerza de frenado

La fuerza de ruptura (F) se da como

F = ma

Donde m es masa y 'a' es desaceleración

Entonces, necesitamos encontrar la desaceleración, usando la ecuación de movimiento

V² = U² + 2as

0² = 80² + 2 × a × 0.06

0 = 6400 + 0.12a

0.12a = -6400

a = -6400 / 0.12

a = - 53,333.33 m / s²

Entonces, el signo negativo muestra que la bala se está desacelerando

Entonces, a = 53,333.33 m / s²

Entonces, fuerza de ruptura

F = ma

F = 0.02 × 53,333.33

F = 1066.67 N

La fuerza de ruptura es 1066.67 N
