Answer:

a) The two stones hit the water 2.91 s after the release of the first stone.

b) The initial velocity of the second stone must be 15.8 m/s vertically downward.

c) The velocity of each stone when they reach the water is:

First stone : -30.7 m/s

Second stone: -34.5 m/s

Explanation:

The height and velocity of the stones can be calculated using the following equations:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height at time "t".

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity at time "t".

a) If we place the origin of the frame of reference on the water, then, the height of both stones when they hit the water will be 0. Using the equation of height for the first stone, we can obtain the time when the height is 0:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = 48.0 m -2.18 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

0 = 48.0 m - 2.18 m/s · t - 4.91 m/s² · t²

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 2.91 s

The two stones hit the water 2.91 s after the release of the first stone.

b) The second stone reaches the water in (2.91 s - 1.00 s) 1.91 s after released (remember that it was released 1.00 s after the first stone but both reached the water simultaneously). Then, using the equation of height, we can obtain the initial velocity knowing that at t = 1.91 s, y = 0:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = 48.0 m + v0 · 1.91 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (1.91 s)²

(-48.0 m + 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (1.91 s)²) / 1.91 s = v0

v0 = -15.8 m/s

The initial velocity of the second stone must be 15.8 m/s vertically downward.

c) We have to use the equation of velocity for each stone. We already know the time when the stones reach the water and the initial velocities:

First stone:

v = v0 + g · t

v = -2.18 m/s - 9.81 m/s² · 2.91 s

v = -30.7 m/s

Second stone:

v = v0 + g · t

v = -15.8 m/s - 9.81 m/s² · 1.91 s

v = -34.5 m/s

The velocity of each stone when they reach the water is:

First stone : -30.7 m/s

Second stone: -34.5 m/s

A transverse wave is traveling through a canal. If the distance between two successive crests is 3.17 m and four crests of the w
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

a. 0.18Hz

b. 0.56m/s

Explanation:

From the question we can deduct the following parameters

The wavelength, λ is define as the distance between two successful crest or trough and from the question we conclude that wavelength is 3.17m.

Also the period of the wave T can be computed as

T=22.6/4

T=5.65secs.

a. To compute the frequency, recall that frequency, F=1/period.

Hence,

F=1/5.65

F=0.18Hz

b. Next we compute the wave speed.

Wave speed=frequency *wavelength

Wave speed =0.18*3.17

Wave speed =0.56m/s

Paul [167]

chromatic aberration problem do refractor telescopes have that reflectors don't

<u>Explanation:</u>

Chromatic aberration is a phenom in which light rays crossing through a lens focus at various points, depending on their wavelength. Chromatic aberration is a dilemma in which lens or refracting, telescopes undergo from. The various image distances for the respective colors affect various image sizes for them.

This involves the creation of disturbing color fringes in the image. Chromatic aberration can be pretty well adjusted by the use of an achromatic doublet. Here, a positive biconvex lens is coupled with a negative lens placed backward with greater dispersion. Thus partly compensates for the chromatic aberration.

Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

242.85 Hz

Explanation:

For maximum intensity of sound, the path difference,ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 where n = 0,1,2...

Since Abby is standing perpendicular to one speaker, the path length for the sound from the other speaker to him is L₁ = √(2.00² + 5.50²) = √(4.00 + 30.25) = √34.25 = 5.85 m.

The path difference to him is thus ΔL = 5.85 m - 5.50 m = 0.35 m.

Since ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 and for lowest frequency n = 0,

ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 = (0 + 1/2)λ/2 = λ/4

ΔL = λ = v/f and f = v/4ΔL where f = frequency of wave and v = velocity of sound wave = 340 m/s.

f = 340/(4 × 0.35) = 242.85 Hz

He instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 11.1 psi . you know that standard atmosphe
blagie [28]

Given that,

Atmospheric Pressure = 14.7 psi

Cooking Pressure = 14.7 +11.1 = 25.8 psi

Take, Atmospheric Temperature = 25 °C

Cooking Temperature = ??

Since, we know that Gas equation is given by:

PV = nRT

or

P ∝ T

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

14.7/ 25 = 25.8/ T2

T2 = 25*25.8/14.7

T2 = 43.87 °C

The cooking pressure will be 43.87 °C.
