Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
h =  height of the kite above ground.

By definition, the angle of elevation is
cos \theta = \frac{30}{50} =0.6
Therefore
\theta = cos^{-1} 0.6 = 53.1 \, deg.

Answer: 53° (nearest integer)

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Average acceleration on first part of the chunk is given as

a_1 = 13.125 m/s^2

Average acceleration on second part of the chunk is given as

a_2 = -13.125 m/s^2

Explanation:

By momentum conservation along x direction we will have

mv_i = \frac{m}{2}v_1 + \frac{m}{2}v_2

so we have

v_1 + v_2 = 2v

v_1 + v_2 = 4.68

also by energy conservation

\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{2})v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{2})v_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 17 J

\frac{1}{4}m(v_1^2 + v_2^2) - \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 17

(v_1^2 + v_2^2) - 2v^2 = \frac{4}{7.7}(17)

(4.68 - v_2)^2 + v_2^2 - 2v^2 = 8.83

21.9 + 2v_2^2 - 9.36 v_2 - 10.95 = 8.83

2v_2^2 - 9.36v_2 + 2.12 = 0

by solving above equation we will have

v_1 = 4.44 m/s

v_2 = 0.24 m/s

Average acceleration on first part of the chunk is given as

a_1 = \frac{4.44 - 2.34}{0.16}

a_1 = 13.125 m/s^2

Average acceleration on second part of the chunk is given as

a_2 = \frac{0.24 - 2.34}{0.16}

a_2 = -13.125 m/s^2

It’s that time of year again when the days are wet and cool.
         The rainy season is the best season.
Rain makes up part of Earth’s water cycle.
Water evaporates from streams, lakes, and oceans, then condensation
   and precipitation occur in the form of rain.
         Precipitation in the form of rain is better than snow.
         Snow this time of year makes people gloomy.
Rain is a great boon to local farmers.

A uniformly charged conducting sphere of 1.1 m diameter has a surface charge density of 6.2 µC/m2. (a) Find the net charge on th
ira [324]

Answer:

(a) q = 2.357 x 10⁻⁵ C

(b) Φ = 2.66 x 10⁶ N.m²/C

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the sphere, d = 1.1 m

radius of the sphere, r = 1.1 / 2 = 0.55 m

surface charge density, σ = 6.2 µC/m²

(a)  Net charge on the sphere

q = 4πr²σ

where;

4πr² is surface area of the sphere

q is the net charge on the sphere

σ is the surface charge density

q = 4π(0.55)²(6.2 x 10⁻⁶)

q = 2.357 x 10⁻⁵ C

(b) the total electric flux leaving the surface of the sphere

Φ = q / ε

where;

Φ is the total electric flux leaving the surface of the sphere

ε is the permittivity of free space

Φ = (2.357 x 10⁻⁵) / (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

Φ = 2.66 x 10⁶ N.m²/C

A resistor has four colored stripes in the following order: orange, orange, brown and silver. What is the resistance of the resi
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Resistance =330 Ω

Tolerance = 33 Ω

Explanation:

see attached resistor color code table

The first stripe is orange, which means the leftmost digit is a 3.

The second stripe is orange , which means the next digit is a 3.

The third stripe is brown.  Since brown is 1, it means add one zero to the right of the first two digits.

The resistance is:

orange-orange-brown=  330 Ω

The tolerance is:

The fourth color band indicates the resistor's tolerance.  Tolerance is the percentage of error in the resistor's resistance.

silver is 10%

A 330 Ω resistor has a silver tolerance band.  

<em>Tolerance = value of resistor x value of tolerance band </em>

= 330 Ω x 10% = 33 Ω

330 Ω stated resistance +/- 33 Ω tolerance means that the resistor could range in actual value from as much as 363 Ω to as little as 297 Ω.
