A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails first up and then down past an open window. the pot was in view for a total of 0.49 s,

and the top-to-bottom height of the window is 1.80 m. how high above the window top did the flowerpot go?

For this case, let's assume that the pot spends exactly half of its time going up, and half going down, i.e. it is visible upward for 0.245 s and downward for 0.245 s. Let us take the bottom of the window to be zero on a vertical axis pointing upward. All calculations will be made in reference to this coordinate system. <span>

An initial condition has been supplied by the problem: 

s=1.80m when t=0.245s 

<span>This means that it takes the pot 0.245 seconds to travel upward 1.8m. Knowing that the gravitational acceleration acts downward constantly at 9.81m/s^2, and based on this information we can use the formula:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) 

to solve for v, the initial velocity of the pot as it enters the cat's view through the window. Substituting and solving (note that gravitational acceleration is negative since this is opposite our coordinate orientation): 

(1.8m)=(v)(0.245s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(0.245s)^2 

v=8.549m/s 

<span>Now we know the initial velocity of the pot right when it enters the view of the window. We know that at the apex of its flight, the pot's velocity will be v=0, and using this piece of information we can use the kinematic equation:

(v final)=(v initial)+(a)(t) 

to solve for the time it will take for the pot to reach the apex of its flight. Because (v final)=0, this equation will look like 

0=(v)+(a)(t) 

Substituting and solving for t: 

0=(8.549m/s)+(-9.81m/s^2)(t) 

t=0.8714s 

<span>Using this information and the kinematic equation we can find the total height of the pot’s flight:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) </span></span></span></span>

s=8.549m/s (0.8714s)-0.5(9.81m/s^2)(0.8714s)^2

s=3.725m<span>

This distance is measured from the bottom of the window, and so we will need to subtract 1.80m from it to find the distance from the top of the window: 

3.725m – 1.8m=1.925m</span>

 

Answer:

<span>1.925m</span>

Answer:

Level 1-

1. It depends of the sense and the magnitude of the force

2. Electric force

3. A contact force need to touch to act in the object, like push a box for example. A non-contact force don't need to touch to act in the object, like an magnet attracting other magnet

4. The pressure is the force divided by the area. The unit for pressure in the international system is Pascal

5. Because the pressure is applied in all the surface of our bodies, so the force is divided by the surface area of our bodies.

Level 2-

1. The balloons stick to the walls because when she rubbed they in her clothes they earned eletric charge, and when they touched the wall, the electric charges of the wall got polarized and it creats a attraction force.

The same happened with the water stream. The balloons were charged with electric charges and the water was attracted by it.

2. Mass is the amount of matter, it's an scalar quantity. Weight is the force created by the attraction of a massive body as the Earth, and another body as a human, and a force is a vector

3. It's for increase the surface area, so the pressure will be decreased

4. When a person pulls up the syringe plunger the pressure inside the syringe is smaller than the pressure outside, so the pressure push the liquid into the syringe

5. a) The stream of the top is falling closer than the stream from the bottom, causa in the top the pressure is lower than in the bottom. In the bottom, beyond the air pressure, it has also the whole column of water making more pressure, so it goes far.

b) The streams are all near because the holes are in the same height, so the pressure is divided for all the holes.

Level 3-

1. The girl.

pressure of the girl: 50/1 = 50

pressure of the man: 100/25 = 4

pressure of the elephant: 4500/250 = 18

So, the girl exerts more pressure.

2. When the can is heated the air inside expands and get out of it. If you seal the mouth of the can, the air cannot return to inside it, and when it get colder the air inside will shrink back to the normal volume, so it will occupy less space and the outside pressure will exerts a force and deform the can.

Explain why the reflection of light off ground glass changes from diffuse to specular if you spill water on it
Basile [38]
Because when you spill water on it, the reflection comes from the surface of the water, not the ground glass.

A plastic rod that has been charged to -15.0nC touches a metal sphere. Afterward, the rod's charge is -10.0nC. Part APart comple
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Negatively charged particles (electrons)

Explanation:

Plastic rod is charged -15.0 nC. It is clear that the charge on the rod is negative so the rod has gain excess of electrons.

When the rod touches a metal sphere charge on the plastic rod remains -10 nC, i.e. negative charge on the rod decreases. This is because negatively charged particles (electrons) are transferred from the plastic rod to the metal sphere.
