Answer:

34.8 m/s

Explanation:

Since we're only interested in vertical velocity we can ignore anything horizontal.

We have the following information (in the vertical direction)

d = 61.8

a = 9.8

vi = 0

vf = ?

The equation combining all these variables is:

$v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad\\v_f^2=0+2(9.8)(61.8)\\v_f^2=1211.28\\v_f=\sqrt{1211.28}\\v_f=34.8$

A 9V battery produces a 1.5A current in a piece of wire. What is the resistance of the wire?

MAVERICK [17]

Explanation:

Using Ohm's Law and a bit of substitution, we can use voltage divided by current to solve for resistance. Doing that, we'll get 6 Ohm.

An electric field of 280000 N/C points due west at a certain spot. What is the magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -

nordsb [41]

<h2>The magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -7.9C at this spot is 2.21 x 10⁶ N.</h2>

Explanation:

Electric field is the ratio of force and charge.

Electric field, E = 280000 N/C

Charge, q = -7.9 C

We have

$E=\frac{F}{q}\\\\280000=\frac{F}{7.9}\\\\F=280000\times 7.9\\\\F=2.21\times 10^6N$

The magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -7.9C at this spot is 2.21 x 10⁶ N.

A small grinding wheel has a moment of inertia of 4.0*10-5kgm2. What net torque must be applied to the wheel for its angular acc

kvv77 [185]

Hi there!

We can use the rotational equivalent of Newton's Second Law:

$\huge\boxed{\Sigma \tau = I \alpha}$

Στ = Net Torque (Nm)

I = Moment of inertia (kgm²)

α = Angular acceleration (rad/sec²)

We can plug in the given values to solve.

$\Sigma \tau = (4 * 10^{-5})(150) = \boxed{0.006 Nm}$

the half-life of iodine-131 is 8.1 days. how much time had passed if i only have one-fourth of the original sample?

morpeh [17]

Answer:

16.2 days

Explanation:

Find the number of halflives:

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 so <u>two</u> halflives have passed

2 * 8.1 days = 16.2 days

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.046 mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 6.20 m away are 8.9 cm apart n

Elanso [62]

Answer:

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is given as ;

y = mλD/d

Where;

D is the distance of the screen from the slits = 6.2 m

d is the distance between the two slits = 0.046 mm = 0.046 x 10^(-3) m

The fringes on the screen are 8.9 cm = 0.089 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y = 0.089 m from the center of the pattern.

Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:

y = mλD/d

So, λ = dy/mD

Thus,

λ = (0.046 x 10^(-3) x 0.089)/(1 x 6.2)

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m
