A 1.5 kg orange falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.75s. What is the speed of the orange just before it hits the ground?

The final speed of the orange is 7.35 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the orange is a free fall motion, since there is only the force of gravity acting on it. Therefore, it is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration $g=9.8 m/s^2$ towards the ground. So we can use the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time elapsed

For the orange in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Substituting t = 0.75 s, we find the final velocity (and speed) of the orange:

$v=0+(9.8)(0.75)=7.35 m/s$

A stunt-rider on a motorcycle rides down a ramp and into a vertical loop-the-loop. If the diameter of the loop is 7.50 m, then t

VikaD [51]

Answer:

v = 6.06 m/s

Explanation:

In order for the rider to pass the top of the loop without falling, his weight must be equal to the centripetal force:

$Centripetal Force = Weight \\\frac{mv^2}{r} = mg\\\\\frac{v^2}{r} = g\\\\v = \sqrt{gr}$

where,

v = minimum speed of motorcycle at top of the loop = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of the loop = diameter/2 = 7.5 m/2 = 3.75 m

Therefore, using these values in equation, we get:

$v = \sqrt{(9.8\ m/s^2)(3.75\ m)}$

A radio antenna broadcasts a 1.0 MHz radio wave with 30 kW of power. Assume that the radiation is emitted uniformly in all direc

kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) intensity $= 2.19 \times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

b) E = 0.0406 V/m

Explanation:

given data:

Power = 30 kW

R = 33×10^3 M

1) Intensity is given as

$Intensity I = \frac{P}{4\times \pi \times r^2}$

$= \frac{30 \times 10^3}{4\times 3.14 \times (33\times10^3)^2}$

$= 2.19 \times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

2) electric field is given as

$I = 1/2 \times \epsilon \times c \times E^2$

Solving for E

$E = \sqrt{\frac{2I}{\epsilon c}}$

$E =\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2.19 \times 10^{-6}}{8.85\times 10^{-12} 3\times 10^8}}$

E = 0.0406 V/m

Why do you think the carbon dioxide measurements have increased so much in the last 100 years or so?

Travka [436]

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbon Dioxide has increased in the last 100 years because we’ve been told it has. We don’t know via our own senses of course, so we just have to accept that it has. I personally don’t know how CO2 levels are measured since different parts of the world have different levels of CO2. For instance, the Pacific Ocean which occupies 30% of the entire planet has no trees or green plants at all and therefore absorbs only small amounts of CO2.
