The body falls in a free fall 11s.Calculate: a) from what height the body of the paddle) what path did it fall during the last s
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

a) h = 593.50 m

b) h₁₁ = 103 m

c) vf = 107.91 m/s

Explanation:

a)

We will use second equation of motion to find the height:

h = v_{i}t + (\frac{1}{2})gt^2

where,

h = height = ?

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time taken = 11 s

g = 9.81 /s²

Therefore,

h = (0\ m/s)(11\ s) + (\frac{1}{2})(9.8\ m/s^2)(11\ s)^2\\\\

<u>h = 593.50 m</u>

b)

For the distance travelled in last second, we first need to find velocity at 10th second by using first equation of motion:

v_{f} = v_{i} + gt

where,

vf = final velocity at tenth second = v₁₀ = ?

t = 10 s

vi = 0 m/s

Therefore,

v_{10} = 0\ m/s + (9.81\ m/s^2)(10\ s)\\\\v_{10} = 98.1\ m/s

Now, we use the 2nd equation of motion between 10 and 11 seconds to find the height covered during last second:

h = v_{i}t + (\frac{1}{2})gt^2

where,

h = height covered during last second = h₁₁ =  ?

vi = v₁₀ = 98.1 m/s

t = 1 s

Therefore,

h_{11} = (98.1\ m/s)(1\ s) + (\frac{1}{2})(9.8\ m/s^2)(1\ s)^2\\\\

<u>h₁₁ = 103 m</u>

c)

Now, we use first equation of motion for complete motion:

v_{f} = v_{i} + gt

where,

vf = final velocity at tenth second = ?

t = 11 s

vi = 0 m/s

Therefore,

v_{f} = 0\ m/s + (9.81\ m/s^2)(11\ s)

<u>vf = 107.91 m/s</u>

The act of getting information out of our memory is called
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Psychologists distinguish information that is available in memory from that which is accessible. We can know is what information we can retrieve—accessible information. The assumption is that accessible information represents only a tiny slice of the information available in our brains.

Explanation:

Memory Cues

What factors determine what information can be retrieved from memory? One critical factor is the type of hints, or cues, in the environment. You may hear a song on the radio that suddenly evokes memories of an earlier time in your life, even if you were not trying to remember it when the song came on. Nevertheless, the song is closely associated with that time, so it brings the experience to mind.

Recall and Recognition

Psychologists measure memory performance by using production tests (involving recall) or recognition tests (involving the selection of correct from incorrect information, e.g., a multiple-choice test).  In this situation, the recognition test would likely produce better performance from participants than the recall test.

Retrieval and Reconstruction

Whenever we think about our past, we engage in the act of retrieval. We usually think that retrieval is an objective act because we tend to imagine that retrieving a memory is like pulling a book from a shelf, and after we are done with it, we return the book to the shelf just as it was.

Calculate the applied force to the piston with a 12cm radius required to elevate a weight of 2.0X104N by the piston with a 36cm
Alex

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Refer the figure given.

By Pascal's principle we have

            \frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}

F2 = 2 x 10⁴ N

A_1=\frac{\pi\times (12\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=1.13\times 10^{-4}m^2\\\\A_2=\frac{\pi\times (36\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=1.02\times 10^{-3}m^2

Substituting

      \frac{F_1}{1.13\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{2\times 10^4}{1.02\times 10^{-3}}\\\\F_1=2.22\times 10^3N

Option D is the correct answer.
