Oh that's nothing to worry about. It's normal. It's due to the effects of youth,
and the instinctive impression of immortality that comes with it at no extra
charge just pay shipping and handling.

Adolescent reasoning goes something like this: "Whaddaya mean
this is dangerous ? Whaddaya mean I'm being reckless ? ! ?
Who says ? I've been doing it for almost a week now and I haven't
died yet and I don't know anybody who died from it, so it can't be that bad,
and you don't know anything and you just don't want me to have any fun,
and I'm just gonna keep doing it at least until I need glasses."

7) A crazy cat (yes, this is redundant) is running along the roof of a 60 m tall building. The cat is moving at a constant veloc

gregori [183]

Answer:

The distance from the base of the building to the landing site is 154 m.

The total flight time is 3.5 s.

At the moment of impact, the velocity vector of the cat is v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s) and its magnitude is 55.8 m/s.

Explanation:

The equations for the position and velocity vectors of the cat are as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector of the cat at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward position as positive).

v = velocity vector of the cat at time t.

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the launching point so that x0 and y0 = 0. In a horizontal launch, initially there is no vertical velocity, then, v0y = 0.

When the cat reaches the ground, the position vector of the cat will be r1 (see figure). The vertical component of r1 is -60 m and the horizontal component will be the horizontal distance traveled by the cat (r1x). Then, using the equation of the y-component of the position vector, we can obtain the time of flight and with that time we can obtain the horizontal distance traveled by the cat:

r1y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-60 m = 0 m + 0 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

- 60 m = -4.9 m/s² · t²

-60 m / - 4.9 m/s² = t²

t = 3.5 s

The cat reaches the ground in 3.5 s

Now, we can calculate the horizontal component of r1:

r1x = x0 + v0 · t

r1x = 0 m + 44 m/s · 3.5 s

r1x = 154 m

The distance from the base of the building to the landing site is 154 m.

The total flight time was already calculated and is 3.5 s.

The velocity vector of the cat when it reaches the ground will be:

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

v = (44 m/s, 0 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.5 s)

v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s)

The magintude of the vector "v" is calculated as follows:

$|v| = \sqrt{(44 m/s)^{2}+(-34.3 m/s)^{2}} = 55.8 m/s$

At the moment of impact, the velocity vector of the cat is v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s) and its magnitude is 55.8 m/s.

An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field with a magnitude of 2.14 mT. If the speed of the

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

(a) 3.9cm

(b) 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s

Explanation:

Since the electron is moving in a circular path, the centripetal acceleration needed to keep it from slipping off is provided by the magnetic force. This force (F), according to Newton's second law of motion is given by,

F = m x a --------------(i)

Where;

m = mass of the particle

a = acceleration of the mass

The centripetal acceleration is given by;

a = v² / r [v = linear velocity of particle, r = radius of circular path]

Therefore, equation (i) becomes;

F = m v²/ r --------------------(ii)

The magnitude of the magnetic force on a moving charge in a magnetic field as stated by Lorentz's law is given by;

F = qvBsinθ -------------(iii)

Where;

q = charge of the particle

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnetic field

θ = angle between the velocity and the magnetic field

Combine equations (ii) and (iii) as follows;

m (v² / r) = qvBsinθ [divide both side by v]

m v / r = qBsinθ [make r subject of the formula]

r = (m v) / (qBsinθ) ---------(iv)

(a) From the question;

v = 1.48 x 10⁷m/s

B = 2.14mT = 2.14 x 10⁻³T

θ = 90° [since the direction of velocity is perpendicular to magnetic field]

m = mass of electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg

q = charge of electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

r = (9.11 x 10⁻³¹ x 1.48 x 10⁷) / (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 2.14 x 10⁻³ sin 90°)

r = 3.9 x 10⁻²m

r = 3.9cm

Therefore, the radius of the circular path is 3.9cm

(b) The time interval required to complete one revolution is the period (T) of the motion of the electron and it is given by

T = d / v --------------(*)

Where;

d = distance traveled in the circular path in one complete turn = 2πr

v = velocity of the motion = 1.48 x 10⁷m/s

d = 2 π (3.9 x 10⁻²) [Take π = 22/7 = 3.142]

d = 2(3.142)(3.9 x 10⁻²) = 0.245m

Substitute the values of d and v into equation (*) as follows;

T = 0.245 / 1.48 x 10⁷

T = 0.166 x 10⁻⁷s

T = 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s

Therefore, the time interval is 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s

What is air pressure?

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A. Earth's gravity pulling down on air molecules

Explanation:

Air pressure refers to the weight of the air per unit surface area. It is the amount of gravitational force which is pulling down the molecules of air.

The common unit of air pressure is: Pascal, atm

1 atm = 101325 Pa

As the column of the air above increases, the air pressure increase. This is because with the increase in amount of air, the weight increase of the air increases. This is the reason a diver feels immense pressure in the sea and cooking takes a lot of time on hilly areas because of low air pressure.

How is a projectile different from an object in free fall

aksik [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Projectile Motion. Projectile motion is different than free fall: it involves two dimensions instead of one. ... Balls traveling in two dimensions, only one of which experiences acceleration, require two sets of equations: one set for the x-direction and the other for the y-direction.
