The horse's position on the ground at time t is

x = (20 m/s) t

The baboon's height from the ground at time t is

y = 3 m - 1/2 g t²

where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

The baboon falls and lands on the horse, so that the two animals meet when the baboon's height is 2 m from the ground, which happens after

2 m = 3 m - 1/2 g t²

1/2 g t² = 1 m

t² = (2 m) / (9.80 m/s²)

t ≈ 0.452 s

In this time, the horse reaches the tree, so its distance from it is

(20 m/s) * (0.452 s) ≈ 9.04 m

Particle q₁ has a charge of 2.7 μC and a velocity of 773 m/s. If it experiences a magnetic force of 5.75 × 10⁻³ N, what is the s

Ne4ueva [31]

The intensity of the magnetic force F experienced by a charge q moving with speed v in a magnetic field of intensity B is equal to
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the directions of v and B.

1) Re-arranging the previous formula, we can calculate the value of the magnetic field intensity. The charge is $q=2.7 \mu C=2.7 \cdot 10^{-6}C$ . In this case, v and B are perpendicular, so $\theta=90^{\circ}$ , therefore we have:
$B= \frac{F}{qv \sin \theta} = \frac{5.75 \cdot 10^{-3}N}{(2.7 \cdot 10^{-6}C)(773m/s)\sin 90^{\circ}}=2.8 T$

2) In this second case, the angle between v and B is $\theta=55^{\circ}$ . The charge is now $q=42.0 \mu C=42.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C$ , and the magnetic field is the one we found in the previous part, B=2.8 T, so we can find the intensity of the force experienced by this second charge:
$F=qvB \sin \theta=(42\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.21 \cdot 10^3 m/s)(2.8 T)(\sin 55^{\circ})=0.12 N$

The alarm at a fire station rings and a 87.5-kg fireman, starting from rest, slides down a pole to the floor below (a distance o

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

$F_f=840N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Weight of fireman $W_f= 87.5kg$

Pole distance $D=4.10m$

Final speed is $V_f 1.75m/s$

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2 a d$

Therefore Acceleration a

$a'= v^2 / 2 d$

$a'= 0.21m/s^2$

Generally the equation for Frictional force $F_f$ is mathematically given as

$F_f=m*a$

$F_f=m*(g-0.21)$

$F_f=87.5*(9.81-0.21)$

Therefore

$F_f=840N$

Why construction is present near the bulb

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The constriction causes the mercury column to break under tension, leaving a vacuum between the bottom of the column and that in the bulb, and the top of the column stays still at the position reached in the body - a "peak hold" system.

Why does laser beam might appear blue and another laser beam might appear red?

Alenkasestr [34]

The red laser will have a hotter temperature than the blue, so it is red because it is hot
hope this helps!!!
