Answer:

a. 14.68m/s

b. 1.043N

Explanation:

a.

Given

Mass = m = 144g = 0.144kg

Height = h = 11m

Using energy conservation,

½mv² = mgh where g = 9.8m/s² ----- divide both sides by m

½v² = gh ---- divide both sides by ½

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 * 9.8 * 11)

v = 14.68332387438212m/s

v = 14.68m/s ----- Approximated

b.

v = 7.5m/s

By definition, “the average force of air resistance,”

When work done against air resistance is solved by multiplying height by the average force of resistance ------ by definition

i.e. W = -Fh

Minus is used because F and h points to different direction (when viewed as vectors).

This is proved by:

W = Fhcos(180) because h points toward the direction of motion (downward) while F points opposite.

W = Fh * -1

W = Fh

Using energy conservation,

mgh - Fh = ½mv² ---- Make Fh, the subject of formula

Fh = mgh - ½mv² ---- Divide through by h

F = mg - mv²/2h

F = 0.144 * 9.8 - 0.144 * 7.5²/(2 * 11)

F = 1.043N

A thermometer is placed directly sunlight will it read the temperature of the air or of the sun or of something else??

Norma-Jean [14]

It will read the temperature of the atmosphere.It is unable to read the temperature of the sun because some of the heat energy from the sun is absorbed by the layer of air molecules on Earth.

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same dimensions, but the space between the plates is filled with air in capacitor 1 and w

Aleks [24]

Explanation:

The capacitance in two parallel-plate capacitors is:

$C=\frac{K\epsilon_oA}{d}$

For air, we have $K_1=1$

For plastic, we have $K_2=2.25$

Hence:

$C_1=\frac{K_1\epsilon_oA}{d_1}=\frac{\epsilon_oA}{d_1}\\C_2=\frac{K_2\epsilon_oA}{d_2}=2.25(\frac{\epsilon_oA}{d_2})$

a) Recall that the potential difference between the plates is the same ( $V_1=V_2=V$ ). The electric field is given by:

$E_1=\frac{V_1}{d_1}=\frac{V}{d_1}\\E_2=\frac{V_2}{d_2}=\frac{V}{d_1}$

The potential difference is defined as:

$V_1=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}=V\\V_2=\frac{Q_2}{C_2}=V$

Replacing:

$E_1=\frac{Q_1}{C_1d_1}\\E_2=\frac{Q_1}{C_1d_2}\\\\E_1d_1=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}\\E_2d_2=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}\\E_1d_1=E_2d_2\\\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{d_2}{d_1}$

b) The energy is defined as:

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

So:

$U_1=\frac{1}{2}C_1V_1^2=\frac{1}{2}C_1V^2\\U_2=\frac{1}{2}C_2V_2^2=\frac{1}{2}C_2V^2\\U_1=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\epsilon_oA}{d_1}V^2\\U_2=\frac{1}{2}\frac{2.25\epsilon_oA}{d_2}V^2\\\frac{0.88U_2d_2}{\epsilon_oA}=V^2\\\frac{2U_1d_1}{\epsilon_oA}=V^2\\\frac{0.88U_2d_2}{\epsilon_oA}=\frac{2U_1d_1}{\epsilon_oA}\\\frac{U_1}{U_2}=0.44\frac{d_2}{d_1}$

A hot-air balloon is rising straight up with a speed of 4.6 m/s. a ballast bag is released from rest relative to the balloon at

kherson [118]

The time taken by the ballast bag to reach the ground is 2.18 s

The ballast bag at rest with respect to the balloon has the upward velocity (u) of 4.6 m/s , which is the velocity of the balloon. When it is dropped from the balloon, its motion is similar to an object thrown upwards with an initial velocity <em>u </em>and it falls under the acceleration due to gravity<em> g.</em>

Taking the upward direction as positive and the downward direction as negative, the following equation of motion may be used.

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

The bag makes a net displacement <em>s</em> of 13.4 m downwards, hence

$s=-13.4 m$

Its initial velocity is

$u=+4.6 m/s$

The acceleration due to gravity acts downwards and hence it is negative.

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$

Use the values in the equation of motion and write an equation for t.

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2 \\ -13.4=4.6t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2\\ 4.9t^2-4.6t-13.4=0$

Solving the equation for t and taking only the positive value for t,

t=2.18 s
