Answer:

a. H=(1/2)*a*t^2

B.h=16.09ft

C.t= 1.22s

Explanation:

Explanation: Newton's equation of motion. This is called motion under free fall.

S=ut +(1/2)*a*t^2

Let S=H, and a=g

H=ut +(1/2)*g*t^2

H=distance covered in ft(24ft)

u= initial velocity (ft/s)

t= time covered in seconds

g=acceleration due to gravity(ft/s^2)

a=g (32.185ft/s)

When u=0

H=(1/2)*g*t^2

2. H=(1/2)*g*t^2

g=32.185ft/s^2

t=1s

Juxtaposing the values into the equation

H= (1/2)* 32.185*(1)^2

H=16.09ft

3. When the maximum distance covered is 24ft, then using

H=(1/2)*a*t^2

24=0.5*32.165*t^2

24=16.09t^2

1.491=t^2

Find the square root of both sides

t=1.22s

It takes 1.22s to hit the ground

The stoplights on a street are designed to keep traﬃc moving at 26 mi/h. the average length of a street block between traﬃc ligh

bonufazy [111]

We use the formula,

$v = \frac{d}{t}$ .

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s, $\frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s$ ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

$t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s$

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traﬃc moving continuously is 6.88 s

The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, $d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }$ ..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, $\lambda$ = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

$A_{m}$ = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

$sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}$

$sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}$

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

$d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m$

How does an electromagnet become permanent

love history [14]

<span>A moving electrical charge produces a magnetic field and a moving magnetic field produces an electrical field. An electromagnet works by coiling a bunch of wire and spinning a couple of magnets around that wire at high speeds. When this occurs the magnets induce an electric current in the wire and hence the electricity production. Once the magnets stop spinning, the induced electrical field dissipates and the current stops flowing through the wire.

The near point of a farsighted person's uncorrected eyes is 80 cm. what power contact lens should be used to move the near point

makvit [3.9K]

To solve this problem, we will get f and then we will use it to calculate the power.

So, for this farsighted person,
do = 25 cm and di = -80
Therefore:
1/f = (1/25) + (1/-80) = 0.00275 = 0.275 m

Power = 1/f = 1/0.275 = +3.6363 Diopeters.
This means that the lens is converging.
