The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.80 m/s2. An African elephant can have a mass up to 6,050 kg. What is its weight?

1 answer:

3 0

The weight on earth is equal to m*g, where m is the mass and g is the gravitational force. 6050 (m) * 9.8 (g) = 59290 Newtons.

For a given velocity of projection in a projectile motion, the maximum horizontal distance is possible only at ө = 45°. Substant

myrzilka [38]

First let us imagine the projectile launched at initial velocity V and at angle θ relative to the horizontal. (ignore wind resistance)

Vertical component y:

The initial vertical velocity is given as Vsinθ
The moment the projectile reaches the maximum height of h, the vertical velocity will be 0, therefore the time t taken to attain this maximum height is:

h = Vsinθ - gt
0 = Vsinθ - gt
t = (Vsinθ)/g

where g is acceleration due to gravity

Horizontal component x:
The initial horizontal velocity is given as Vcosθ. However unlike the vertical component, this horizontal velocity remains constant because this is unaffected by gravity. The time to travel the horizontal distance D is twice the value of t times the horizontal velocity.
D = Vcosθ*[(2Vsinθ)/g]
D = (2V²sinθ cosθ)/g
D = (V²sin2θ)/g

In order for D (horizontal distance) to be maximum, dD/dθ = 0
That is,

2V^2 cos2θ / g = 0
And since 2V^2/g must not be equal to zero, therefore cos(2θ) = 0
This is true when 2θ = π/2 or θ = π/4

Therefore it is now<span> shown that the maximum horizontal travelled is attained when the launch angle is π/4 radians, or 45°.</span>

The intensity at distance from a spherically symmetric sound source is 100 W/m2. What is the intensity at five times this distan

ss7ja [257]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity as a function of power and area.

Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave. In equation form, intensity I is

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

The area of a sphere is given by

$A = 4\pi r^2$

So replacing we have to

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

Since the question tells us to find the proportion when

$r_1 = 5r_2 \rightarrow \frac{r_2}{r_1} = \frac{1}{5}$

So considering the two intensities we have to

$I_1 = \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}$

$I_2 = \frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}$

The ratio between the two intensities would be

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{ \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}}{\frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}}$

The power does not change therefore it remains constant, which allows summarizing the expression to

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}=(\frac{r_2}{r_1})^2$

Re-arrange to find $I_2$

$I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2$

$I_2 = 100*(\frac{1}{5})^2$

$I_2 = 4W/m^2$

Therefore the intensity at five times this distance from the source is $4W/m^2$

If you and a friend are standing at opposites ends of a gymnasium and one of you claps, will the other hear the clap at the same

34kurt

Answer:

No. Your friend will not hear the clap when he/she sees it.

Explanation:

It takes time for sound waves to go through a large area. It takes longer if people are in the area rather than it is empty.

Mr. Adams asked his students to write the chemical symbol for the element zinc. He wrote the students’ answers on the whiteboar

m_a_m_a [10]

The chemical symbol for the element zinc is Zn.

<h3>What is element?</h3>

A chemical element is the one which reacts with other elements to form a compound.

Any chemical symbol must have its first letter written in Uppercase. If the element has two letter chemical symbol, then it should be written in lowercase.

Thus, the student wrote Zn as the chemical symbol of Zinc on the whiteboard.
