How long will it take a rock dropped from 2.0 m above the surface of mercury to reach the ground?

Physics
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago

The answer is 1.04s.

This is the example of free fall.
Let's start with the kinematic formula: 
d = v1*t + 1/2a*t²
where:
d - distance
v1 - initial distance (in free fall v1 = 0)
t - time
a - gravitational acceleration

We have:
d = 2m
a = 3.7 m/s² (on mercury)
t = ?

In free fall, the expression looks like:
d = 0*t + 1/2a*t² = 0 + 1/2a*t²
⇒ d = 1/2a*t²

Now, from here t can be calculated:
t² = d ÷ 1/2a
t² = 2d/a
t = √(2d/a)

Let's replace the parameters:
t = √(2 * 2 / 3.7)
t = √(4/3.7)
t = √1.08
t = 1.04 s

Help me with the following problem
Snezhnost [94]

The electric field at arbitrary point outside the sphere is determined as the E = σr³/k.

<h3>Electric field determined from Gauss law</h3>

The electric field of the surface is determined from Gauss law as shown below;

E ∫ds = Q/ε

E (4πr²) = Q/ε

E = Q/4πεr² . r

E = \frac{Q R}{4\pi \varepsilon r^3}

<h3>Electric field outside the sphere with dielectric with polarization</h3>

P = \frac{\sigma}{E} \\\\E = \frac{\sigma}{P}

E = \frac{\sigma}{k/r^3} \\\\E = \frac{\sigma r^3}{k}

where;

  • σ is dipole moment of atom of the metal
  • k is dielectric constant

Thus, the electric field at arbitrary point outside the sphere is determined as the E = σr³/k.

The complete question:

A metal sphere of radius R carries a total charge Q. outside the sphere is a dielectric with polarization p(f) k/r^3er. Determine the electric field at arbitrary point outside the sphere.

Daring Darless wishes to cross the Grand Canyon of the Snake River by being shot from a cannon. She wishes to be launched at 56°
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

She must be launched with a speed of 74.2 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of the horizontal component of the position vector and the vertical component of the velocity vector are the following:

x = v0 · t · cos θ

vy = v0 · sin θ + g · t

x = horizontal distance traveled at time t.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

θ = launching angle.

vy = vertical component of the velocity vector at time t.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s²).

To just cross the 520-m gap, the maximum height of the flight must be reached halfway of the gap at 260 m horizontally (see attached figure).

When she is at the maximum height, her vertical velocity is zero. So, when x = 260 m, vy = 0. Using both equations we can solve the system for v0:

x = v0 · t · cos θ

Solving for v0:

v0 = x/ (t · cos θ)

Replacing v0 in the second equation:

vy = v0 · sin θ + g · t

0 = x/(t·cos(56°)) · sin(56°) + g · t

0 = 260 m · tan (56°) / t - 9.8 m/s² · t

9.8 m/s² · t = 260 m · tan (56°) / t

t² = 260 m · tan (56°) / 9.8 m/s²

t = 6.27 s

Now, let's calculate v0:

v0 = x/ (t · cos θ)

v0 = 260 m / (6.27 s · cos(56°))

v0 = 74.2 m/s

She must be launched with a speed of 74.2 m/s.

A 1.0-kg block of aluminum is at a temperature of 50°C. How much thermal energy will it lose when its temperature is reduced by
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

22425 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

Q = cm(t₂-t₁).................. Equation 1

Where Q = Thermal Energy, c = specific heat capacity of aluminium, m = mass of aluminium, t₂ = Final Temperature, t₁ = Initial Temperature.

Given: c = 897 J/kg.K, m = 1.0 kg, t₁ = 50 °C, t₂ = 25 °C (The final temperature is reduced by half)

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 897×1×(25-50)

Q = 897×(-25)

Q = -22425 J

Hence the thermal energy lost by the aluminium is 22425 J
