While standing on a bridge 15 m above the ground, you drop a stone from rest. When the stone has fallen 3.2 m, you throw a secon

d stone straight down. What initial velocity must you give the second stone if they are both to reach the ground at the same instant?

Answer:

11.3 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for the first stone to fall 3.2 m.

Given:

Δy = 3.2 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(3.2 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.81 s

Next, find the time for the first stone to land.

Given:

Δy = 15 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(15 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 1.75 s

The difference in time is 1.75 s − 0.81 s = 0.94 s.  Find the initial velocity needed for the second stone to land after that amount of time.

Given:

Δy = 15 m

a = 9.8 m/s²

t = 0.94 s

Find: v₀

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(15 m) = v₀ (0.94 s) + ½ (9.8 m/s²) (0.94 s)²

v₀ = 11.3 m/s

Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.
svlad2 [7]
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then 
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49 
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω

Newton's first law of motion states that an object will keep a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced f
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The unbalanced force that caused the ball to stop was friction

Explanation:

As Newton's second law states, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied on the object:

F=ma

therefore, in order to move at constant speed, an object should have a net force of zero (balanced forces) acting on it.

In this case, the ball slows down and eventually comes to a stop: it means that the ball is decelerating, so there are unbalanced forces (net force different from zero) acting on it. The unbalanced force acting on the ball is the friction: friction is a force against the motion of the object, which is due to the contact between the surface of the ball and the surface of the street, and this force is responsible for slowing down the ball.

A piece of copper wire with thin insulation, 200 m long and 1.00 mm in diameter, is wound onto a plastic tube to form a long sol
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

 N= 3

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Faraday's law

          E = - dФ / dt

         Ф = B . A = B Acos θ

tje bold indicate vectors. As it indicates that the variation of the field is linear, we can approximate the derivatives

         E = - A cos θ (B - B₀) / t

The angle enters the magnetic field and the normal to the area is zero

         cos 0 = 1

         A = π r²

   

In the length of the wire there are N turns each with a length L₀ = 2π r

          L = N (2π r)

          r = L / 2π N

    we substitute

          A = L² / (4π N²)

The magnetic field produced by a solenoid is

           B = μ₀ N/L   I

for which

            B₀ = μ₀  N/L   I

           

The final field is zero, because the current is zero

            B = 0

We substitute

           E = - (L² / 4π N²)  (0 - μ₀ N/L I) / t

           E = μ₀ L I / (4π N t)

           N = μ₀ L I / (4π t E)

The electromotive force is E = 0.80 mV = 0.8 10⁻³ V

let's calculate

           N = 4π 10⁻⁷ 200 1.60 / (4π 0.120 0.8 10⁻³)]

           N  = 320 10⁻⁷ / 9.6 10⁻⁶

           N = 33.3 10⁻¹

          N= 3

Sound waves that enter the external acoustic meatus eventually encounter the __________, which then vibrates at the same frequen
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

tympanic membrane (eardrum)

Explanation:

The sound waves spread through the air and reach the outer ear, into which they penetrate through the ear canal. In doing so, they stimulate the eardrum, which closes the inner end of the duct. By vibrating this membrane, the vibration of a chain of ossicles located in the middle ear is induced. These ossicles transmit their vibration to the oval window, which is a membranous structure that communicates the middle ear with the cochlea of ​​the inner ear. When the oval membrane moves, it moves the liquid (perilymph) that fills one of the three cavities of the cochlea generating waves in it. These waves mechanically stimulate the sensory cells (hair cells) located in the organ of Corti, within the cochlea in the central cavity, the middle ramp. This cavity is filled with a liquid rich in K +, endolymph. The cells embedded in the endolymph, change their permeability to K + due to the movement of the cilia and respond by releasing a neurotransmitter that excites the nerve terminals, which initiate the auditory sensory pathway.
