Answer:

Maximum height, h = 1.74 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

A potato is shot out of the cylinder. It is a case of projectile motion. The potato makes an angle of 17 degrees above the horizontal.

Initial speed with which the potato is shot out, u = 20 m/s

We have to find the maximum height of the potato. The maximum height of a projectile (h) is given by the following formula as :

h=\dfrac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

Where

\theta = angle between the projectile and the surface

g = acceleration due to gravity

h=\dfrac{(20\ m/s)^2sin^2(17)}{2\times 9.8\ m/s^2}

h = 1.74 m

or h = 1.74 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

Over a time interval of 1.99 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star reverses direction, changing from +20.7 km/
madam [21]

Answer:

(a) - 42700 m/s

(b) - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

Explanation:

initial velocity of star, u = 20.7 km/s

Final velocity of star, v = - 22 km/s

time, t = 1.99 years

Convert velocities into m/s and time into second

So, u = 20700 m / s

v = - 22000 m/s

t = 1.99 x 365.25 x 24 x 3600 = 62799624 second

(a) Change in planet's velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

  = - 22000 - 20700 = - 42700 m/s

(b) Accelerate is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

                     = ( - 42700 ) / (62799624) = - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

It is dangerous to stand near the railway leak when train passing by,why?​
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Because a person may be pulled in the direction of the moving train. Thereby causing accident

Explanation:

According to Daniel Bernoulli's theorem, he was widely known as a Mathematician. He stated that due to the higher velocity of a moving train, there is higher kinetic energy in terms of volume around it, while the air pressure between the person and the train becomes lower.

As a result, a person near a moving train may be pulled in the direction of the moving train. Thereby causing accidents that may lead to death.

A girl is floating in a freshwater lake with her head just above the water. If she weighs 610 N, what is the volume of the subme
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The volume of the submerged part of her body is 0.0622m^{3}

Explanation:

Let's define the buoyant force acting on a submerged object.

In a submerged object acts a buoyant force which can be calculated as :

B=ρ.V.g

Where ''B'' is the buoyant force

Where ''ρ'' is the density of the fluid

Where ''V'' is the submerged volume of the object

Where ''g'' is the acceleration due to gravity

Because the girl is floating we can state that the weight of the girl is equal to the buoyant force.

We can write :

W_{girl}=B (I)

Where ''W'' is weight

⇒ If we consider ρ = 1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}} (water density) and g=9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}} and replacing this values in the equation (I) ⇒

B=W_{girl}

B=610N

ρ.V.g = 610N

1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}.V.(9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}})=610N (II)

The force unit ''N'' (Newton) is defined as

N=kg.\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Using this in the equation (II) :

(9810\frac{N}{m^{3}}).V =610N

V=\frac{610N}{9810\frac{N}{m^{3}}}

V=0.0622m^{3}

We find that the volume of the submerged part of her body is 0.0622m^{3}
