Answer:

A. 16t2 -116t -101=0 B. 8.0s

Explanation:

Known parameters from the question:

Height of Cliff,h0 = 101ft

Velocity of rocket ,v= 116ft/s.

1.Substituting the above to the above formula we have;

h(t) = -16t2 + vt + h0

Since h(t) =0, it means the rocket is falling towards the ground, when it gets to the ground when it's at rest the height h(t) = 0m

{Note the rocket is launched from the height of the Cliff so that would be the initial height of the rocket,h0}

2.Substituting into h(t) = -16t2 + vt + h0

We have;

0 = -16t2 + 116t + 101=> 16t2 -116t -101=0

Using formula method for solving quadratic equation we have;

t = -(-116)+_√[(-116)^2 -( 4× 16 ×-101]/ (2× 16)

t = [116 +_(141.1382)]/32

t = (116 -141.1382)/32 or (116 +141.1382)/32

-0.786s or 8.036s

-0.8s or 8.0s to the nearest tenth.

Now time cannot be negative in real life situation hence the time is 8.0s

Note : the general equation of a quadratic equation with variable t is given below;

at2 + bt + c=0

Formula method for quadratic equation is :

t =( -b+_√[(b^2 -( 4× a×c)] ) / (2× a)

Which method will correctly determine whether the forces on an object are balanced or unbalanced?
MaRussiya [10]

For this case, the first thing you should do is define a reference system.

Once the system is defined, we must follow the following steps:

1) Do the sum of forces in a horizontal direction

2) Do the sum of forces in vertical direction

The forces will be balanced if for each direction the net force is equal to zero.

The forces will be unbalanced if for each direction the net force is nonzero.

Answer:

Add the forces in the horizontal and vertical directions separately.

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B at a speed of 2.30 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 1.70 10
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following :

Speed (V) = speed of 2.30×10^7 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.70×10^13 m/s^2

Using the right hand rule provided by  Lorentz law:

B = F / qvSinΘ

Where B = magnitude of the magnetic field

v = speed of the particle

Θ = 90° (perpendicular to the field)

q = charge of the particle

SinΘ = sin90°  = 1

Note F = ma

Therefore,

B = ma / qvSinΘ

Mass of proton = 1.67 × 10^-27

Charge = 1.6 × 10^-19 C

B = [(1.67 × 10^-27) × (1.70 × 10^13)] / (1.6 × 10^-19) × (2.30 × 10^7) × 1

B = 2.839 × 10^-14 / 3.68 × 10^-12

B = 0.7715 × 10^-2

B = 7.72 × 10^-3 T

2) Magnetic field will be in the negative y direction according to the right hand thumb rule.

Since Velocity is in the positive z- direction, acceleration in the positive x - direction, then magnetic field must be in the negative y-direction.

What kind of scattering (Rayleigh, Mie, or non-selective) would you expect to be most important when radiation of the specified
oee [108]

Answer:

hello your question is not properly arranged attached below is the arranged table and solution

answer : attached table below

Explanation:

Given data:

02 molecules size = 10^-10m

smoke particles size = 0.3 mm

cloud droplets size = 20 mm

Rain droplets size = 3 mm

Attached below is a table showing the kind of scattering that is expected to occur at various wave lengths

Note : For Rayleigh scattering the wave particle is smaller than the wave length while for Non-selective scattering the wave particle is greater than the wavelength.

and  For Mie scattering the wavelength is the same as the wavelength.
