I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes the egg 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The height from which the egg is dropped is <u>68.54 m</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of egg is, u=0\ m/s(Dropped means initial velocity is 0)

Time taken is, t=3.74\ s

Acceleration experienced by egg is due to gravity, a=g=9.8\ m/s^2

The height from which the egg is dropped is, d=?

Now, we use Newton's equation of motion that relates the distance, initial velocity, time and acceleration.

So, we have the following equation of motion:

d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Plug in all the given values and solve for 'd'. This gives,

d=0+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (3.74)^2\\\\d=\frac{1\times 9.8\times 13.9876}{2}\\\\d=\frac{137.078}{2}\\\\d=68.54\ m

Therefore, the height from which the egg is dropped is 68.54 m.

You need to design an experiment to measure the free-fall acceleration. You have an inclined plane made of steel and several obj
Nataliya [291]

Attached a diagram of the scheme described in the problem ..

To solve the problem we need to know the relationship between kinetic and normal force, so

F_k=\mu_k F_N (1)

Where

\mu_k = coefficient of kinetic

F_N=  Normal force

We perform the sum of forces as well,

\sum F_x = Ma(2)

a= Acceletarion

For Normal Force in Y,

F_N= Mgcos \theta  (3)

The force in X,

\sum F_x = Mgsin\theta - F_x (4)

Replacing in (4)

Ma = Mgsin\theta - \mu_k F_N

Ma = Mgsin\theta - \mu_k F_N

Ma = Mgsin\theta - \mu_k Mg cos\theta

a= g(sin\theta-\mu_k cos\theta)

In this way, it does not matter which object is chosen.

I want help with Question num 4 (a,b,c). Thank u
frosja888 [35]

Answer

a) Draw an upward force from the bottom to indicate upthrust

b) Upthrust is an upward force acting on an object floating on a liquid... hence there is an upward force acting on the iceberg which causes it to float.

c) Unfortunately I don't know the answer.

You make a telephone call from New York to a friend in London. Estimate how long it will take the electrical signal generated by
nadezda [96]

Answer:

a)  t = 2 10⁻² s ,  t = 2.4 10-1 s

Explanation:

In this exercise they indicate the delay in two signals

a) A signal travels on an electrical cable, between New York and London.

The wave formed in this wire for the signal. This wave travels at the speed of light, c = 3 108 m / s, so the delay is very small

                t = d / c

               t = 6000 10³/3 10⁸

               t = 2 10⁻² s

b) The signal points to a satellite in geostationary orbit

                   distance traveled = √ (2 36000 10³)² + 6000²

                  distance = 72 10⁶ m

the waiting time is

                t = d / c

                t = 72 10⁶/3 10⁸

               t = 2.4 10-1 s

    we can see that the signal sent by the satellites has more delay because its distance is much greater
