Answer:

a)The package strikes 256.2 m in the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released

b) The horizontal component will not change it remains same as 41 m/s

c) Vertical component of velocity = 61.41 m/s

Explanation:

a) Consider the vertical motion of plane,

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Displacement, s = 192 m

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

192 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

t = 6.26 seconds

Now we need to find horizontal distance traveled in 6.26 seconds by the package.

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 41 m/s

Time, t = 6.26 s

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 41 x 6.26 + 0.5 x 0 x 6.26²

s = 256.52 m

The package strikes 256.2 m in the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released

b) The horizontal component will not change it remains same as 41 m/s

c) We have equation of motion, v = u+ at

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Time, t = 6.26 s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting

v = u+ at

v = 0 + 9.81 x 6.26 = 61.41 m/s

Vertical component of velocity = 61.41 m/s

But omega= 2πf

= 2πx875

=5498.5rad/s

So v= 1.25mm x 5498.5

= 6.82m/s

A diagram of a closed circuit with a power source on the left labeled 6 V. There are 3 resistors in parallel, separate paths, co

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Current: 1.0 Amperes

The minimum current is flowing through path D

Explanation:

We first find the equivalent resistance to the three resistors in parallel ( which is the total resistance of the circuit) via the equation:

$\frac{1}{R_e} =\frac{1}{R_B}+\frac{1}{R_C}+\frac{1}{R_D}\\\frac{1}{R_e} =\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{50}=0.17\\R_e=(1/0.17)\Omega\\R_e=5.88 \Omega$

with this info, we can estimate the current going through branch A using Ohm's Law, and the information that the power source is 6 V:

$V=I*R\\6V=I*5.88\Omega\\I=\frac{6}{5.88} Amp\\I=1.02A$

where the current comes in units of Amperes since all other the quantities are given in the SI system, and we can round this answer to 1.0 Amp following the request to round it to the tenth.

The current will be the lowest through the branch with the largest resistor due to the fact that less current will flow through the path of more resistance.

Than means that the lowest current will be registered through branch D where the 50 $\Omega$ resistor is.

The electromagnetic wave that delivers a cellular phone callto

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

$E=2.41\cdot 10^{-5} J$

Explanation:

The intensity of an electromagnetic wave can be expressed in terms of the magnetic field using the next relationship:

$I_{average}=\frac{cB_{0}^{2}}{2\mu_{0}}$ (1)

c is the speed of light (3*10⁸ m/s)
μ₀ is the permeability of free space (in vacuum ) (1.26*10⁻⁶ N/A²)
B₀ is the magnetic field

$I_{average}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{8}(1.5\cdot 10^{-10})^{2}}{2\cdot 1.26\cdot 10^{-6}}$

$I_{average}=2.68\cdot 10^{-6} W/m^{2}$

Now, let's define the relationship between power (P) and average intensity (I).

$I_{average}=\frac{P}{A}$

P is the power
A is the area crossed

So we can calculate the power.

$P=I_{average}\cdot A=2.68\cdot 10^{-6}\cdot 0.20=5.37\cdot 10^{-7} W$

Finally, energy is the product of P times time, so:

$E=P\cdot t=5.37\cdot 10^{-7} \cdot 45=2.41\cdot 10^{-5} J$

I hope it helps you!

The horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the water is 70.4 m

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, so it consists of two independent motions:

A uniform motion along the horizontal (x) direction
A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical (y) direction

We start by calculating the time of flight of the ball. This can be done by analyzing the vertical motion. We can use the following suvat equation:

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

where:

s = -16.5 m is the vertical displacement of the ball (it is negative because we take upward as positive direction)

$u_y$ is the initial vertical velocity of the ball, which is given by

$u_y = u sin \theta$

where

u = 23.5 m/s is the initial velocity

$\theta=33.5^{\circ}$ is the angle of projection

Substituting,

$u_y=(23.5)(sin 33.5^{\circ})=13.0 m/s$

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity, downward

Substituting everything into the equation we get:

$-16.5=13.0t-4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-13.0t-16.5=0$

Solving the equation for t, we find the time of flight of the ball:

t = -0.94 s

t = 3.59 s

We ignore the 1st solution since it is negative, so the ball reaches the water after 3.59 seconds.

Now we analyze the horizontal motion of the ball. The horizontal velocity is constant and it is:

$v_x=u cos \theta=(23.5)(cos 33.5^{\circ})=19.6 m/s$

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered in a time t is

$d=v_x t$

And substituting t = 3.59 s, we find

$d=(19.6)(3.59)=70.4 m$

So, the horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the water is 70.4 m.
