8 0

Answer:

The helicopter was 1103.63 meters high when the package was dropped.

Explanation:

We consider positive speed as a downward movement

y: height (m)

t: time (s)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

Δy = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}gt²

Δy= 15\frac{m}{s}×15 s + \frac{1}{2}×9.81\frac{m}{s^{2} }×(15 s)²

Δy= 1103.63 m

A girl picks up a bag of apples that are at rest on the floor. How dose the force the girl applies compare to the force of gravi
AysviL [449]

Answer:

When the bag of apples are on the floor, the force of gravity is equal to the force applied in the upward direction.

But when the girl picks up the bag of apples, she applies a force on the bag of apples in the upward direction greater than that of the gravitational force.

Explanation:

Gravitational force for an object is always constant at a specific point. When an object is in the state of rest, there is an equal force opposite to the direction of Gravitational Force.

Now, to lift an object upwards, an external force must be applied that is greater than the force of gravitation.

So, when the girl picks up the bag of apples,

Gravitational Force < Force applied by the girl to lift the bag.

What is the time constant of a series circuit where the capacitor is 0.330μF and the resistor is 10Ω ?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

\tau=3.3*10^{-6}s

Explanation:

Take at look to the picture I attached you, using Kirchhoff's current law we get:

C*\frac{dV}{dt}+\frac{V}{R}=0

This is a separable first order differential equation, let's solve it step by step:

Express the equation this way:

\frac{dV}{V}=-\frac{1}{RC}dt

integrate both sides, the left side will be integrated from an initial voltage v to a final voltage V, and the right side from an initial time 0 to a final time t:

\int\limits^V_v {\frac{dV}{V} } =-\int\limits^t_0 {\frac{1}{RC} } \, dt

Evaluating the integrals:

ln(\frac{V}{v})=e^{\frac{-t}{RC} }

natural logarithm to both sides in order to isolate V:

V(t)=ve^{-\frac{t}{RC} }

Where the term RC is called time constant and is given by:

\tau=R*C=10*(0.330*10^{-6})=3.3*10^{-6}s

Equation of motion description is v=20+2t.How big is the initial speed,acceleration?
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

the initial velocity is 20 m/s   and  the acceleration is 2 m/s²

Explanation:

Given equation of motion, v = 20 + 2t

If V represents the final velocity of the object, then the initial velocity and acceleration of the object is calculated as follows;

From first kinematic equation;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is time of motion

If we compare  (v = u + at)   to     (v = 20 + 2t)

then, u = 20    and  

         a = 2

Therefore, the initial velocity is 20 m/s   and  the acceleration is 2 m/s²
