<h2>Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 0.866 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 0.866 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 0.866²

                      s = 3.68 m

      Halfway is 3.68 m

Total height = 2 x 3.68 = 7.36 m

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = ?

        Displacement, s  = 7.36 m

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      7.36 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                      t = 1.22 s

Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.

Art [367]

Answer:

A, The water moving away

Explanation:

When the pebble hits the water the surface tension breaks causing the water to separate away and make a ripple in the water.

URGENT!!! DUE AT 11:59, PLEASE DON’T POST A LINK FOR THIS ANSWER AND BE STRAIGHT FORWARD! Bronco the skydiver, whose mass is 100
kirill [66]

a = 7.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Let Fnet = net force = ma

m = mass of the skydiver

a = acceleration caused by Fnet

W = weight = mg

f(air) = frictional force due to air resistance

Fnet = W - f(air)

= (100 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) - (200 N)

= 780 N

Therefore, the acceleration of the skydiver due to Fnet is

a = Fnet/m

= (780 N)/(100 kg)

= 7.8 m/s^2

A power plant running at 39 % efficiency generates 330 MW of electric power. Part A At what rate (in MW) is heat energy exhauste
marusya05 [52]

516.154 megawatts of heat are <em>exhausted</em> to the river that cools the plant.

By definition of energy efficiency, we derive an expression for the energy rate exhausted to the river (Q_{out}), in megawatts:

Q_{out} = Q_{in} - W

Q_{out} = \left(\frac{1}{\eta}-1 \right)\cdot W(1)

Where:

  • \eta - Efficiency.
  • W - Electric power, in megawatts.

If we know that \eta = 0.39 and W = 330\,MW, then the energy rate exhausted to the river is:

Q_{out} = \left(\frac{1}{0.39}-1 \right)\cdot (330\,MW)

Q_{out} = 516.154\,MW

516.154 megawatts of heat are <em>exhausted</em> to the river that cools the plant.

F = 2.0*10^20 N,
natka813 [3]

F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

With the given values of F,G,m_1,r, we have

2.0\times10^{20}\,\mathrm N=\dfrac{\left(6.67\times10^{-11}\,\frac{\mathrm{Nm}^2}{\mathrm{kg}^2}\right)\left(5.98\times10^{24}\,\mathrm{kg}\right)m_2}{\left(3.8\times10^8\,\mathrm m\right)^2}

Try dealing with the powers of 10 first: On the right, we have

\dfrac{10^{-11}\times10^{24}}{(10^8)^2}=\dfrac{10^{24-11}}{10^{16}}=10^{-3}

Meanwhile, the other values on the right reduce to

\dfrac{6.67\times5.98}{3.8^2}\approx2.76

Then taking units into account, we end up with the equation

2.0\times10^{20}\,\mathrm N=\left(2.76\times10^{-3}\,\dfrac{\mathrm N}{\mathrm{kg}}\right)m_2

Now we solve for m_2:

m_2=\dfrac{2.0\times10^{20}\,\mathrm N}{2.76\times10^{-3}\,\frac{\mathrm N}{\mathrm{kg}}}\approx0.725\times10^{20-(-3)}\,\mathrm{kg}

m_2=7.25\times10^{22}\,\mathrm{kg}

or, if taking significant digits into account,

m_2=7.3\times10^{22}\,\mathrm{kg}
