Answer:

  t = 1.099 s

Explanation:

given,

constant speed = 2.51 m/s

height of balloon above ground = 3.16 m

time elapsed before it hit the ground = ?

Applying equation of motion to the compass

y = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

-3.16 = 2.51 t + \dfrac{1}{2}\times (-9.8)t^2

4.9 t^2 - 2.51 t - 3.16 = 0

using quadratic formula to solve the equation

t = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

t = \dfrac{-(-2.51)\pm \sqrt{2.51^2-4(4.9)(-3.16)}}{2\times 4.9}

  t = 1.099 s, -0.586 s

hence, the time elapses before the compass hit the ground is equal to 1.099 s.

The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. Keeping a stable internal environment requires constant adjustments. Here are just three of the many ways that human organ systems help the body maintain homeostasis:
Respiratory system: A high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood triggers faster breathing. The lungs exhale more frequently, which removes carbon dioxide from the body more quickly.
Excretory system: A low level of water in the blood triggers retention of water by the kidneys. The kidneys produce more concentrated urine, so less water is lost from the body.
Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb sugar from the blood.

Sound waves travel at the rate of 343 m/s at 20°C. If a man standing 450 meters away from the wall of a canyon yells, “Hello,” h
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

2.62seconds

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by a body with respect to time.

Speed v = Distance (s)/Time (t)

For a traveling sound wave, the distance between the source of a sound and the reflector is '2S'.

Speed v = 2 × distance (S)/Time (T)

V = 2S/t

2S = vt

Given speed of the wave = 342m/s

Distance covered = 450m

t = 2S/v

t = (2×450)/343

t = 900/343

t = 2.62seconds

It will take him 2.62seconds for him to hear his own voice echo off of the wall.

A spring stretches 0.150 m when a 0.30 kg mass is hung from it. The spring is then stretched an additional 0.100 m from this equ
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

a)  k=19.6N/m

b)  V_m=0.81m/s

c)  a_m=6.561m/s^2

d)  K.E=0.096J

e)  T=0.78sec &F=1.29sec

f)   mx'' + kx' =0

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Stretch Length L=0.150m

Mass m=0.30kg

Total stretch lengthL_t=0.150+0.100=>0.25

a)

Generally the equation for Force F on the spring is mathematically given by

F=-km\\\\k=F/m\\\\k=\frac{m*g}{x}\\\\k=\frac{0.30*9.8}{0.15}

k=19.6N/m

b)Generally the equation for Max Velocity of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

V_m=A\omega

Where

A=Amplitude

A=0.100m

And

\omega=angulat Velocity\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{19.6}{0.3}}\\\\\omega=8.1rad/s

Therefore

V_m=A\omega\\\\V_m=8.1*0.1

V_m=0.81m/s

c)

Generally the equation for Max Acceleration of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

a_m=\omega^2A

a_m=8.1^2*0.1

a_m=6.561m/s^2

d)

Generally the equation for Total mechanical energy of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}*0.3*0.8^2

K.E=0.096J

e)

Generally the equation for  the period T is mathematically given by

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

T=\frac{2*3.142}{8.1}

T=0.78sec

Generally the equation for  the Frequency is mathematically given by

F=\frac{1}{T}

F=1.29sec

f)

Generally the Equation of time-dependent vertical position of the mass is mathematically given by

mx'' + kx' =0

Where

'= signify order of differentiation

Which of the following statements best describes chromatic aberration?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The answer is A/B, they're the same answer anyways.

Explanation:

Chromatic aberration is the result when the lens fail to focus all the colors on the same point. The light then focuses in different points,and could lead to causing two images at once. The main culprit of this is usually dispersion.

what do you think is the purpose of a periscope? Are there any other uses for periscopes besides for submarines?
spin [16.1K]

Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science
