<span>Answer: Assuming that I understand the geometry correctly, the combine package-rocket will move off the cliff with only a horizontal velocity component. The package will then fall under gravity traversing the height of the cliff (h) in a time T given by h = 0.5*g*T^2 However, the speed of the package-rocket system must be sufficient to cross the river in that time v2 = L/T Conservation of momentum says that m1*v1 = (m1 + m2)*v2 where m1 is the mass of the rocket, v1 is the speed of the rocket, m2 is the mass of the package, and v2 is the speed of the package-rocket system. Expressing v2 in terms of v1 v2 = m1*v1/(m1 + m2) and then expressing the time in terms of v1 T = (m1 + m2)*L/(m1*v1) substituting T in the first expression h = 0.5*g*(m1 + m2)^2*L^2/(m1*v1)^2 solving for v1, the speed before impact is given by v1 = sqrt(0.5*g/h)*(m1 + m2)*L/m1</span>

The temperature at a point (x, y) on a flat metal plate is given by T(x, y) = 54/(7 + x2 + y2), where T is measured in °C and x,
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

dt/dx = -0.373702

dt/dy =  -1.121107

Explanation:

Given data

T(x, y) = 54/(7 + x² + y²)

to find out

rate of change of temperature with respect to distance

solution

we know function

T(x, y) = 54 /( 7 + x² + y²)

so derivative it x and y direction i.e

dt/dx = -54× 2x / (7 +x² + y²)²    .........................1

dt/dy = -54× 2y / (7 + x² + y²)²      .........................2

now put the value point (1,3) as x = 1 and y = 3 in equation 1 and 2

dt/dx = -54× 2(1) / (7 +(1)² + (3)²)²  

dt/dx = -0.373702

and

dt/dy =  -54× 2(3) / (7 + (1)² + (3)²)²

dt/dy =  -1.121107

Which statement is true regarding flexibility? A. joint's range of motion cannot be maintained with age. b.A joint's range of mo
Alex777 [14]
<span>the statement that is true regarding flexibility is : b. a joint's range of motion will be lost if the joint is not used regularly. Our body is like a machine. If we not constantly heat it up, our body will be more prone to injury. We can see that the old people who lived within the tribe in the middle of the mountain are far stronger than the one who lived in the city.</span>

a sphere with a radius of 8cm carries a uniform volume charge density of 1.5 find the magnitude of the electric field
gladu [14]

Answer:

E = 5.65 x 10¹⁰ N/C

Explanation:

First we need to find the total charge on the sphere. So, we use the following formula for that purpose:

q = \sigma V\\

where,

q = total charge on sphere

V = Volume of Sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.08\ m)^3 =  0.335\ m^3

σ = volume charge density = 1.5 C/m³

Therefore,

q = (0.335\ m^3)(1.5\ C/m^3) \\q = 0.502 C

Now, we use the following formula to find the electric field due to this charged sphere:

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

where.

E  = Electric Field Magnitude = ?

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

r = radius of sphere = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(9\ x\ 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2)(0.502 C)}{(0.08\ m)^2}\\\\

<u>E = 5.65 x 10¹⁰ N/C</u>
