The return stroke (the current that cause the visible flash) moves upward at a speed of about 320,000,000 ft per second or about 220,000,000 miles per hour (about 1/3 the speed of light).

Alnilam is the brightest star

Absolute brightness is how bright the star actually is. Apparent brightness is how bright the star looks.

Factors that influence how bright a star looks is distance. The fact that Alnilam has the same apparent brightness of the other two stars even though it is farther away, means that it is brighter.

Find an expression for the minimum frictional coefficient needed to keep a car with speed v on a banked turn of radius R designe
solniwko [45]
"v0" means that there are no friction forces at that speed
<span>mgsinΘ = (mv0²/r)cosΘ → the variable m cancels </span>
<span>sinΘ/cosΘ = tanΘ = v0² / gr 
</span><span>Θ = arctan(v0² / gr) </span>

<span>When v > v0, friction points downslope: </span>
<span>mgsinΘ + µ(mgcosΘ + (mv²/r)sinΘ) = (mv²/r)cosΘ → m cancels: </span>
<span>gsinΘ + µ(gcosΘ + (v²/r)sinΘ) = (v²/r)cosΘ </span>
<span>µ = ((v²/r)cosΘ - gsinΘ) / (gcosΘ + (v²/r)sinΘ) </span>
<span>where Θ is defined above. </span>

<span>When v > v0, friction points upslope: </span>
<span>mgsinΘ - µ(mgcosΘ + (mv²/r)sinΘ) = (mv²/r)cosΘ → m cancels: </span>
<span>gsinΘ - µ(gcosΘ + (v²/r)sinΘ) = (v²/r)cosΘ </span>
<span>µ = (gsinΘ - (v²/r)cosΘ) / (gcosΘ + (v²/r)sinΘ) </span>
<span>where Θ is defined above. </span>

A cannon ball is shot straight upward with a velocity of 72.50 m/s. How high is the cannon ball above the ground 3.30 seconds af
disa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Cannon is fired with a velocity of u=72.50\ m/s

Using Equation of motion

y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

y=displacement

u=initial\ velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

after time t=3.3 s

y=72.50\times 3.3-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (3.3)^2

y=239.25-53.36

y=185.89\ m

So after 3.3 s cannon ball is at a height of 185.89 m

Calculate a pendulum's frequency of oscillation (in Hz) if the pendulum completes one cycle in 0.5 s.
Marina86 [1]
Time taken to complete one oscillation for a pendulum is Time Period, T = 0.5 s 
Frequency of the pendulum oscillation = 1 / Time Period => f = 1 / T = 1 / 0.5  
Frequency f = 2 Hz
