Mike is standing on the roof of a building looking at the roof of the neighboring building that is 15 meters away and 10 meters
amid [387]

Answer:

Part a)

t = 1.65 s

Part b)

x = 40.4 m

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

v = 27.3 m/s

direction of velocity is given as

[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree

Explanation:

Part a)

acceleration due to gravity on this planet is 3/4 times the gravity on earth

So the acceleration due to gravity on this new planet is given as

a = \frac{3}{4}(9.81)

a = 7.36 m/s^2

now the vertical displacement covered by the canister is given as

y = 10 m

now by kinematics we have

y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

10 = \frac{1}{2}(7.36)t^2

t = 1.65 s

Part b)

Horizontal speed of the canister is given as

v_x = 24.5 m/s

now the distance moved by it

x = v_x t

x = 24.5 (1.65)

x = 40.4 m

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

Final velocity in X direction will remains the same

v_x = 24.5 m/s

final velocity in Y direction

v_y = v_i + at

v_y = 0 + (7.36)(1.65)

v_y = 12.14 m/s

now magnitude of velocity is given as

v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

v = \sqrt{24.5^2 + 12.14^2}

v = 27.3 m/s

direction of velocity is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{v_y}{v_x}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{12.14}{24.5}

[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree

How can a 1kg ball have more kinetic energy than a 100kg ball? Explain both using words and by providing a numerical example
MariettaO [177]

1 kg ball can have more kinetic energy than a 100 kg ball as increase in velocity is having greater impact on K.E than increase in mass.

<u>Explanation</u>:

We know kinetic energy can be judged or calculated by two parameters only which is mass and velocity. As kinetic energy is directly proportional to the (velocity)^2 and increase in velocity leads to greater effect on translational Kinetic Energy. Here formula of Kinetic Energy suggests that doubling the mass will double its K.E but doubling velocity will quadruple its velocity:

\text { Kinetic Energy }=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Better understood from numerical example as given:

If a man A having weight 50 kg run with speed 5 m/s and another man B having 100 kg weight run with 2.5 m / s. Which man will have more K.E?

This can be solved as follows:

\text { Kinetic Energy of } \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2} 50 \times 5^{2}=625 \mathrm{J}

\text { Kinetic Energy bf } \mathrm{B}=\frac{1}{2} 100 \times 2.5^{2}=312.5 \mathrm{J}

It shows that man A will have more K.E.

Hence 1 kg ball can have more K.E than 100 kg ball by doubling velocity.

If an atomic nucleus were the size of a dime how far away might one of its electrons be?
mihalych1998 [28]
The radius of a nucleus of hydrogen is approximately r_{n1}=1\cdot 10^{-15}m, while we can use the Borh radius as the distance of an electron from the nucleus in a hydrogen atom: r_{e1}=5.3 \cdot 10^{-11}m

The radius of a dime is approximately r_{n2} = 9\cdot 10^{-3}m: if we assume that the radius of the nucleus is exactly this value, then we  can find how far is the electron by using the proportion
r_{n1}:r_{e1}=r_{n2}:r_{e2}
from which we find
r_{e2}= \frac{r_{e1} r_{n2}}{r_{n1}}= \frac{(5.3 \cdot 10^{-11}m)(9\cdot 10^{-3}m)}{1 \cdot 10^{-15}m}=477 m

So, if the nucleus had the size of a dime, we would find the electron approximately 500 meters away.

g stAn experienced spear fisherman sees a small fish swimming in a tidal pool. If the fisherman sees the fish at approximately a
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

  θ = 28.9

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where we use index 1 for air and index 2 for water where the fish is

        sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

in this case the air repair index is 1 and the water 1.33

we substitute

        sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.33 sin t 40

        sin θ = 0.4833

         

        θ = sin⁻¹ 0.4833

        θ = 28.9
