Having aced your Physics 2111 class, you get a sweet summer-job working in the International Space Station. Your room-mate, Cosm

onaut Valdimir tosses a banana at you at a speed of 16 m/s. At exactly the same instant, you fling a scoop of ice cream at Valdimir along exactly the same path. The collision between banana and ice cream produces a banana split 8.2 m from your location 1.4 s after the banana and ice cream were launched.
1. How fast did you toss the ice cream?

2. How far were you from Valdimir when you tossed the ice cream?

Answer:

a

The speed is $s = 5.857 m/s$

b

The distance is $D = 22.4 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the banana is $v = 16 \ m/s$

The distance from my location is $d = 8.2 \ m$

The time taken is $t = 1.4 \ s$

The speed of the ice cream is

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

substituting values

$s = \frac{8.4}{1.4}$

$s = 5.857 m/s$

The distance of separation between i and Valdimir is the same as the distance covered by the banana

So

$D = v * t$

substituting values

$D = 16 * 1.4$

$D = 22.4 \ m$

My buddy and I have just finished a dive to 15 metres/50 feet for 60 minutes. We want to return to the same site and depth and s

marishachu [46]

Answer:

1) Periodically check the no stop or NDL time on their computers

2) The dive computer planning mode can be used if available

3) Make use of a dive planning app

4) Check data from the RDP table or an eRDPML

Explanation:

The no stop times information from the computer gives the no-decompression limit (NDL) time allowable which is the time duration a diver theoretically is able to stay at a given depth without a need for a decompression stop

The dive computer plan mode or a downloadable dive planning app are presently the easiest methods of dive planning

The PADI RDP are dive planners based on several years of experience which provide reliable safety limits of depth and time.

According to the Theory of Plate Tectonics, which of the following statements is correct?

kramer

Answer:

It's D. The geothermal energy from Earth's core loses most of its heat before reaching the outer layer. The plates on the outer layer have been proven to be moving due to evidence such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis.

A cannon, positioned on a hill, shoots a cannonball horizontally at 23 m/s. The cannonball hits the stone wall 1.96 m below the

irina [24]

Answer: 14. 49 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

$x=V_{o} cos \theta t$ (1)

$y-y_{o}=V_{o} sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$x$ is the horizontal distance between the cannon and the ball

$V_{o}=23 m/s$ is the cannonball initial velocity

$\theta=0\°$ since the cannonball was shoot horizontally

$t$ is the time

$y=0$ is the final height of the cannonball

$y_{o}=1.96 m$ is the initial height of the cannonball

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Isolating $t$ from (2):

$t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(y-y_{o})}{g}}$ (3)

$t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(0 m-1.96 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (4)

$t=0.63 s$ (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

$x=(23 m/s) cos(0\°) 0.63 s$ (6)

Finally:

$x=14.49 m$

As shown in the diagram below, a rope attached to a 500.-kilogram crate is used to exert a force of 45 newtons at an angle of 65

kaheart [24]

Answer:

19.01 N

Explanation:

F = Force being applied to the crate = 45 N

$\theta$ = Angle at which the force is being applied = $65^{\circ}$

Horizontal component of force is given by

$F_x=F\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow F_x=45\times \cos65^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow F_x=19.01\ \text{N}$

The horizontal component of the force acting on the crate is 19.01 N.
