Height of the platform = 100 feet

1 feet = 0.3048 m

100 feet = 30.48 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

Let the time taken be t

Initial velocity of the object (u) = 0 m/s

Using the seconds equation of motion:

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$30.48 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times t^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{30.48}{4.9} }$

t = 2.5 seconds

Hence, the option (b) is correct.

As demonstrated by the Doppler Effect, why does sound increase in pitch as a sound source approaches you?

scZoUnD [109]

I think so it ans wold be d.because if the source approaches the observer more and more wavefront will pass and it get squeezed.so wavelength decreases and frequency increases.

g determine what frequency is required of a source powering a 100 uf capacitor a 500 ohm resistor and a s50 mH inductor in serie

polet [3.4K]

Answer: $71.16\ Hz$

Explanation:

Given

Capacitance $C=100\ \mu F$

Resistance $R=500\ \Omega$

Inductance $L=50\ mH$

In LCR circuit, current is maximum at resonance frequency i.e.

$X_L=X_C\ \text{and}\ \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{50\times 10^{-3}\times 100\times 10^{-6}}}\\\\\Rightarrow \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\Rightarrow \omega_o=0.447\times 10^{3}$

Also, frequency is given by

$\Rightarrow 2\pi f=\omega_o\\\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{\omega_o}{2\pi}$

$\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\times 0.447\times 10^3\\\\\Rightarrow f=71.16\ Hz$

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and

garri49 [273]

Answer:

(a) t = 1.14 s

(b) h = 0.82 m

Explanation:

(b)

Considering the upward motion, we apply the third equation of motion:

$2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2$

where,

g = - 9.8 m/s² (-ve sign for upward motion)

h = max height reached = ?

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = initial speed = 4 m/s

Therefore,

$(2)(9.8\ m/s^2)h = (0\ m/s)^2-(4\ m/s)^2\\$

h = 0.82 m

Now, for the time in air during upward motion we use first equation of motion:

$v_f = v_i + gt_1\\0\ m/s = 4\ m/s + (-9.8\ m/s^2)t_1\\t_1 = 0.41\ s$

(c)

Now we will consider the downward motion and use the third equation of motion:

$2gh = v_f^2-v_i^2$

where,

h = total height = 0.82 m + 1.8 m = 2.62 m

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

vf = final speed = ?

Therefore,

$2(9.8\ m/s^2)(2.62\ m) = v_f^2 - (0\ m/s)^2\\$

vf = 7.17 m/s

Now, for the time in air during downward motion we use the first equation of motion:

$v_f = v_i + gt_1\\7.17\ m/s = 0\ m/s + (9.8\ m/s^2)t_2\\t_2 = 0.73\ s$

(a)

Total Time of Flight = t = t₁ + t₂

t = 0.41 s + 0.73 s

t = 1.14 s

Why do plants not need digistive system

WINSTONCH [101]

Humans need a digestive system to do cellular respiration, which produces energy used for growth and movement.

Plants do not need one as they make their own energy through photosynthesis. The process produces glucose, which is a form of energy for the plants.
