An object is dropped from a​ tower, 400 ft above the ground. The​ object's height above ground t seconds after the fall is ​s(t)
Paul [167]

Answer: v= 160ft/s

a=32ft/s^2 constant

Explanation:

s(t)=400-16t^2 derivative of position is velocity v(t) and derivative of velocity is acceleration a(t) so let s(t)=0 to find the time of flight to reach the ground and take the two derivatives and use the time found and solve. Also acceleration is a constant as it’s gravity.

0=400-16t^2

400=16t^2

25=t^2

t=5s

ds/dt=v(t)=0-32t

dv/dt=a(t)=-32 constant(gravity)

v(t)=-32(5s)= -160ft/s negative sign is only showing direction

1) 260 km/h

Let's use the following convention:

positive x-direction = east

positive y-direction = north

Here we have to find the north component of the velocity's airplane, which means we have to find its y-component.

We can use the formula:

v_y = v sin \theta

where

v = 750 km/h is the magnitude of the plane's velocity

\theta=20.0^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the plane and the positive x-axis

Substituting,

v_y = (750)(sin 20)=256.5 km/h \sim 260 km/h

2) 24^{\circ} north of east

In order to find the direction of flight, we have to consider that the vector representing the displacement of the plane is the hypothenuse of a right triangle, of which the displacements along the east and north direction are the sides.

Therefore, we have

v_x = 220 km is the displacement towards east

v_y = 100 km is the displacement towards north

Therefore, the angle that gives the direction is given by

tan \theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}

And substituting,

\theta =tan^{-1}( \frac{100}{200})=24^{\circ}

and this angle is measured north of east.

An electromagnet is strong enough to lift 200 kg of mass. If you double the number of turns of wire around the core and triple t
jekas [21]

Magnetic field is proportional to NIA.

N is the number of turns, I is the current and A is the area

You see N=2n, I = 3 i. Therefore, it will 6 times stronger

200*6= 1200 kg. It can lift now is 1200 kg.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The potential difference between one side of the wire causes the electric field inside the wire (causes the electrons to flow). However, inside the wire, it is still neutral. The electrons are just moving, the wire is not gaining or losing electrons.
