The feather's vertical position $y$ is determined by

$y=\dfrac12g_{\text{moon}}t^2$

We take the feather's starting position to be the origin, and the downward direction to be positive. Then

$y=\dfrac12\left(1.63\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(9.00\,\mathrm s\right)^2=66.0\,\mathrm m$

so the answer is D.

Help me with the question in the image I provided

inna [77]

Answer: 10 s, 30 m/s , 150 m

Explanation:

Given

The speed of motorcyclist is $u_1=15\ m/s$

The initial speed of a police motorcycle is $u_2=0\ m/s$

acceleration of police motorcycle is $a=3\ m/s^2$

Police will catch the motorcyclist when they traveled equal distances

distance traveled by motorcyclist in time t is

$\Rightarrow s_1=15\times t$

Distance traveled by Police in time t is

$\Rightarrow s_2=u_2t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_2=0+0.5\times 3\times t^2$

put $s_1=s_2$

$\Rightarrow 15t=0.5\times 3\times t^2\\\\\Rightarrow t(1.5t-15)=0\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{15}{1.5}=10\ s$

Police officer's speed at that time is

$\Rightarrow v_2=u_2+at\\\Rightarrow v_2=0+3\times 10=30\ m/s$

Distance traveled by each vehicle is

$\Rightarrow s_1=s_2=15\times t=15\times 10=150\ m$

An elevator accelerates upward at 2.0 m/s?,

amm1812

Answer:

Force the floor exerts on the passenger is 833 N.

Explanation:

Weight of passenger ( $F_{g}$ ) = mg = 85 × 9.8 N = 833 N

Force the floor exerts on the passenger ( $F_{N}$ ) = ?

For the elevator with the speed as 2.0 m/s the net force is zero, it means that the force is balanced.

i.e. $F_{N}$ = - $F_{g}$ = -mg = 833 N

hence $F_{N}$ is 833 N

If the lift was not at a constant speed i.e. if it had acceleration ( $m/s^{2}$ ) then the case would be different.

How long must a 0.70-mm-diameter aluminum wire be to have a 0.40 a current when connected to the terminals of a 1.5 v flashlight

Natalka [10]

By using Ohm's law, we can find what should be the resistance of the wire, R:
$R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{1.5 V}{0.40 A} =3.75 \Omega$

Then, let's find the cross-sectional area of the wire. Its radius is half the diameter,
$r=35 mm=0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
So the area is
$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=3.85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2$

And by using the resistivity of the Aluminum, $\rho=2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ , we can use the relationship between resistance R and resistivity:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
to find L, the length of the wire:
$L= \frac{RA}{\rho}= \frac{(3.75 \Omega)(3,85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2)}{2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m}=54.48 m$
