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>

please help! need a answer as quick as possible please. i need help with questions 1 and 2 ! thank you
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

1.)When you arrive from school and you smell cookies baking in the kitchen your brain will tell you that you are hungry and that you should go to the kitchen at that point your sense organs like your nose helps you to detect that something is baking(cookies)and your nervous system (brain)will tell you that you are hungry and it will command/direct your brain to go to the kitchen then for you to eat the cookies and drink the milk the digestive system is going go help you to chew,swallow and digest the food which has been taken and when you also run to the kitchen at the beginning your brain will direct your skeletal and muscular system because the skeletons and muscles work hand in hand,and when you finish your meal the body will circulate some nutrients or minerals from the food or snack taken to other parts of the body for energy.

2.)When you sleep the whole body is asleep except the heart which needs to continue circulating blood around the whole system and sometimes the brain may not rest when you are sleeping it may continue to do it's work that's why some people usually sleep walk or sleep talk,it means the brain is not at rest and still doing some things....Thank you for the question I hope it is very useful to you.

Answer: 4.5 V

Explanation:

Given

The voltage of each cell is 1.5 V

If they are connected end to end their potential added to give a higher potential i.e. 1.5+1.5+1.5=4.5 V

A 0.350-m-long cylindrical capacitor consists of a solid conducting core with a radius of 1.20 mm and an outer hollow conducting
Brut [27]

Answer: a. 6.52*EXP{-10}C/m. b. 2.28*EXP{-10}C. c. 38picoFarad.

d. 6.84*EXP{-10}joules

Explanation: We first calculate for the capacitance first. For a concetric cylinder with two radius R1 and R2 the capacitance C is given as

C= {2*pi*permitivity of

freespace*lenght}/In(R2/R1) from the given Question R2 is 2mm and R1 is 1.2mm, lenght is 0.35meter, permitivity of free space is 8.85*EXP {-12} and pi is 3.142.

Therefore Capacitance would be,

C = 2*3.142*8.85*EXP

{-12}*0.35/In(2/1.2)

C = 3.8*EXP {-11} Farad which is also

38*EXP {-12} Farad or 38picoFarad.

Next, we solve for our total charge Q. Charge, capacitance and voltage are related by

Q = C*V = 38*EXP {-12}*6

=2.28*EXP {-10} Coulombs

Next, we obtian charge per unit lenght, which is

Q/L = 2.28*EXP {-10}/0.35

= 6.52*EXP {-10} Coulombs/meter

Next, we obtain the energy stored in the capacitor from

Energy stored = 1/2*(C*V²)

=1/2*38*EXP {-12}*6²

=6.84*EXP {-10} Joules

Note: EXP means 10^
