While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, you throw a stone upward with an initial speed of 5.55 m/s. The stone subs

equently falls to the ground, which is14.7 m below the point where the stone leaves your hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? How much time is the stone in the air? Ignore air resistance and take g = 9.81 m/s2.
What is the Impact Speed:____m/s

What is the Elapsed Time:____s

Let's solve first for the impact speed. The impact speed or velocity of any free-falling body follows the formula written below:

v = √2gy
where
y is the height of the free fall

Now, the length of y includes the distance it took for the upward motion, and the free falling motion that covers the maximum height plus the remaining distance of 14.7 ft. Let's compute first the maximum height reached:

Hmax = v₀²/2g, where v₀ is the initial velocity
Hmax = (5.55 m/s)²/2(9.81 m/s²) = 1.57 m
Thus,
y = 1.57 m + 14.7 m = 16.27 m
v = √2(9.81 m/s²)(16.27 m)
v = 17.87 m/s

For the second question, there are two sections of the total time. The first is the time for the upward motion:
t₁ = 2v₀/g = 2(5.55 m/s)/(9.81 m/s²) = 1.13 s
The second section is the time for the free fall:
t₂ = √2y/g = √2(16.27 m)/9.81 m/s² = 1.82 s
Thus, the total time is:
Time = 1.13 s + 1.82 s = 2.95 s

What is the angular displacement of a minute hand of a clock after 3 minutes?​
Inessa [10]

Answer:

π/10 rads

Explanation:

It takes an hour (60 minutes) for the minute's hand to turn a full circle or achieve an angular rotation of

2πl rad.

Now, number of periods of 3 minutes in an hour is;

Number of periods = 60/3 = 20 periods

Thus, 3 minutes rotation accounts for 1/20 of 2π the rotation of the minute's hand in an hour.

Thus;

Angular displacement = (1/20) * 2π = π/10 rads

two negative charges that are both -3.0 C push each other apart with a force of 19.2 N how far apart are the charges
Hoochie [10]
The electrostatic force between two charges q1 and q2 is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where k_e =8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant and r is the distance between the two charges.

If we use F=19.2 N and q1=q2=-3.0 C, we can find the value of r, the  distance between the two charges by re-arranging the previous formula:
r= \sqrt{k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{F} }= \sqrt{ 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} \frac{(-3.0C)^2}{19.2 N} } =6.49 \cdot 10^4 m=64.9 km

If you shine a single light source on a screen you will see that the entire screen is lit up. Assume this light source is of a s
kompoz [17]

Answer:

An interference pattern.

Explanation:

When we have two light source of the same frequency turned on close to each other, the light emitted by them will interfere since light is also a wave. This means that an interference pattern will appear in a screen put ahead of them, that is, bands of light and darkness where the waves are interfering constructively and destructively.

A iron block with a mass of 4.8 kg initially slides over a rough horizontal surface with a speed of 1.2 m/s. Friction slows the
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of block will be converted into heat energy by friction .

Heat energy produced = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 4.8 x 1.2²

= 3.456 J

85% of energy is converted into heat energy , so heat energy produced

= .85 x 3.456 = 2.9376 J .

If Q heat is given to m mass of object having s as specific heat and Δt is increase in temperature

Q = msΔt

specific heat of iron s = 462 J / kg C

Putting the values ,

2.9376 = 4.8 x 462 x Δt

Δt = 13.24 x 10⁻⁴ ⁰C.
