magine an astronaut on an extrasolar planet, standing on a sheer cliff 50.0 m high. She is so happy to be on a different planet,

she throws a rock straight upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. If the astronaut were instead on Earth, and threw a ball in the same way while standing on a 50.0 m high cliff, what would be the time difference (in s) for the rock to hit the ground below the cliff in each case

Answer:

\Delta t=(\frac{20}{g'}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'}  }  )-(\frac{20}{g}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g}  }  )

Explanation:

Given:

height above which the rock is thrown up, \Delta h=50\ m

initial velocity of projection, u=20\ m.s^{-1}

let the gravity on the other planet be g'

The time taken by the rock to reach the top height on the exoplanet:

v=u+g'.t'

where:

v= final velocity at the top height = 0 m.s^{-1}

0=20-g'.t' (-ve sign to indicate that acceleration acts opposite to the velocity)

t'=\frac{20}{g'}\ s

The time taken by the rock to reach the top height on the earth:

v=u+g.t

0=20-g.t

t=\frac{20}{g} \ s

Height reached by the rock above the point of throwing on the exoplanet:

v^2=u^2+2g'.h'

where:

v= final velocity at the top height = 0 m.s^{-1}

0^2=20^2-2\times g'.h'

h'=\frac{200}{g'}\ m

Height reached by the rock above the point of throwing on the earth:

v^2=u^2+2g.h

0^2=20^2-2g.h

h=\frac{200}{g}\ m

The time taken by the rock to fall from the highest point to the ground on the exoplanet:

(50+h')=u.t_f'+\frac{1}{2} g'.t_f'^2 (during falling it falls below the cliff)

here:

u= initial velocity= 0 m.s^{-1}

\frac{200}{g'}+50 =0+\frac{1}{2} g'.t_f'^2

t_f'^2=\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'}

t_f'=\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'}  }

Similarly on earth:

t_f=\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g}  }

Now the required time difference:

\Delta t=(t'+t_f')-(t+t_f)

\Delta t=(\frac{20}{g'}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'}  }  )-(\frac{20}{g}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g}  }  )

At 20°c, the resistance of a sample of nickel is 525 ohms. what is the resistance when the sample is heated to 70°C?​
Ipatiy [6.2K]

The resistance of the sample is 682.5\Omega

Explanation:

The relationship between resistance of a material and temperature is given by the equation

R(T)=R_0(1+\alpha (T-T_0))

where

R_0 is the resistance at the temperature T_0

\alpha is the temperature coefficient of resistance

For the sample of nickel in this problem, we have:

R_0 = 525 \Omega when the temperature is T_0 = 20^{\circ}C

While the temperature coefficient of resistance of nickel is

\alpha = 0.006/^{\circ}C

Therefore, the resistance of the sample when its temperature is

T=70^{\circ}C

is

R=(525)(1+0.006(70-20))=682.5 \Omega

Which of the following represents an upright image? <br> A. -do<br> B. +m<br> C. -m<br> D. +do
Tom [10]

Answer:

B. +m

Explanation:

The magnification of an image is defined as the ratio between the size of the image and of the object:

m = \frac{y'}{y}

where we have

y' = size of the image

y = size of the object

There are two possible situations:

- When m is positive, y' has same sign as y: this means that the image image is upright

- When m is negative, y' has opposite sign to y: this means that the image is upside down

Therefore, the correct option representing an upright image is

B. +m

5. A box weighs 196 N. A rope is tied to the box. What is the
natta225 [31]

Answer:

296 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  The box has two forces on it: tension up and weight down.

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

T − mg = ma

T = m (g + a)

Given m = 196 N / 9.8 m/s² = 20 kg, and a = +5 m/s²:

T = (20 kg) (9.8 m/s² + 5 m/s²)

T = 296 N
