away from and below the point of release. What is the speed of the ball just before it strikes the ground?
a) 43 m/s
b) 47 m/s
c) 39 m/s
d) 36 m/s
e) 14 m/s

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

height of building = 0.1 km

ball strikes horizontally to ground at = 65 m

speed at which the ball strike = ?

vertical velocity = 0 m/s

time at which the ball strike

$s = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 100}{9.8}}$

t = 4.53 s

vertical velocity at the time 4.53 s = g × t = 9.8 × 4.53 = 44.39 m/s

horizontal velocity = $\dfrac{65}{4.53}$ =14.35 m/s

speed of the ball = $\sqrt{44.39^2+14.35^2}$

= 46.65 m/s

hence, the speed of the ball just before it strike the ground = 47 m/s

The correct answer is option B

If the average velocity of a duck is zero in a given time interval, what can you say about the displacement of the duck for that

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Also 0

Explanation:

Since average speed of an object is that object's displacement over a unit of time, when an average speed is 0, its displacement over a unit of time must also be 0. When an average speed is not 0, then its displacement over a unit of time is also not 0 for that interval.

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building. The rock's initial speed is 6.0 m/s. How long will it take the r

Archy [21]

Answer:

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building, s = 5 m

The initial speed of the rock, u = 6 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the rock to reach the ground. Using second equation of motion to find it. We get :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\5=6t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2\\\\t=0.569\ seconds$

So, the time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

A +15 nC point charge is placed on the x axis at x = 1.5 m, and a -20 nC charge is placed on the y axis at y = -2.0m. What is th

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: $E=75\ N/m$

Explanation:

Given

First charge of $q_1=15\ nC$ is placed at $x=1.5\ m$

Second charge $q_2=-20\ nC$ is placed at $y=-2\ m$

Electric field is given by

$E=\frac{kq}{r^2}$

Electric field due to $q_1$ is away from it

$E_1=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 15\times 10^{-9}}{(1.5)^2}$

$E_1=60\ N/m$

Electric field due to $q_2$

$E_2=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 20\times 10^{-9}}{2^2}$

$E_2=45\ N/m$

Net electric field will be vector addition of two

$\vec{E_{net}}=\vec{E_1}+\vec{E_2}$

$\vec{E_{net}}=-60\hat{i}-45\hat{j}$

Magnitude of Electric field is

$E=\sqrt{60^2+45^2}$

$E=75\ N/m$

Which part of the female reproductive system produces ova?

vovangra [49]

A would be the best answer beacuse
Ovaries - small, oval-shaped glands that are located on either side of the uterus. The ovaries produce eggs (ova - an ovum is one egg, ova means multiple eggs.) The ovaries also produce the main female sex hormones which are released into the bloodstream.

The nucleus of an atom can be modeled as several protons and neutrons closely packed together. Each particle has a mass of 1.67

Lady bird [3.3K]

Explanation:

The nucleus of an atom can be modeled as several protons and neutrons closely packed together.

Mass of the particle, $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

Radius of the particle, $R=10^{-15}\ m$

(a) The density of the nucleus of an atom is given by mass per unit area of the particle. Mathematically, it is given by :

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}$ , V is the volume of the particle

$d=\dfrac{m}{(4/3)\pi r^3}$

$d=\dfrac{1.67\times 10^{-27}}{(4/3)\pi (10^{-15})^3}$

$d=3.98\times 10^{17}\ kg/m^3$

So, the density of the nucleus of an atom is $3.98\times 10^{17}\ kg/m^3$ .

(b) Density of iron, $d'=7874\ kg/m^3$

Taking ratio of the density of nucleus of an atom and the density of iron as :

$\dfrac{d}{d'}=\dfrac{3.98\times 10^{17}}{7874}$

$\dfrac{d}{d'}=5.05\times 10^{13}$

$d=5.05\times 10^{13}\ d'$

So, the density of the nucleus of an atom is $5.05\times 10^{13}$ times greater than the density of iron. Hence, this is the required solution.
