Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity does not change.

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, there is no other force acting against the horizontal component, and hence the velocity does not change.

A diver leaves the end of a 4.0 m high diving board and strikes the water 1.3s later, 3.0m beyond the end of the board. Consider

shutvik [7]

Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.

Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is

$d=v_x t$

where here we have

d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered

vx is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall

Solving for vx,

$v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{3.0 m}{1.3 s}=2.3 m/s$

Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t) = h + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 4.0 m is the initial height

vy is the initial vertical velocity

We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy

$0=h+v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\v_y = \frac{0.5gt^2-h}{t}=\frac{0.5(9.8 m/s^2)(1.3 s)^2-4.0 m}{1.3 s}=3.3 m/s$

So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(2.3 m/s)^2+(3.3 m/s)^2}=4.0 m/s$

How much energy will a stock tank heater rated at 1790 Watts use in a 24 hour period? 1. 1790 × 24 × 3600 Joules 2. 1790 × 24 ×

Rashid [163]

<h2>Option 1 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Power of heater, P = 1790 W

Time used, t = 24 hours = 24 x 60 x 60 = 24 x 3600 s

We have the equation

$\texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}$

We need to find energy,

Substituting

$\texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\1790=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{24\times 3600}$

Energy = 1790 x 24 x 3600 J

Option 1 is the correct answer.

the magnitude of the magnetic field at point p for a certain electromagnetic wave is 2.21. What is the magnitude of the elctic f

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$6.63\times 10^8\ N/C$

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of magnetic field, B = 2.21

We need to find the magnitude of the electric field. Let it is E. So,

$\dfrac{E}{B}=c\\\\E=Bc$

Put all the values,

$E=2.21\times 3\times 10^8\\\\=6.63\times 10^8\ N/C$

So, the magnitude of the electric field is equal to $6.63\times 10^8\ N/C$ .

A running student has half the kinetic energy that his brother has. The student speeds up by 1 m/s, at which point he has the sa

hoa [83]

Answer:

V = (√2) + 1) m/s

Explanation:

Let the mass and speed of the running student be M and V respectively.

We are told that when he speeds up by 1 m/s, he has the same kinetic energy as his brother.

Thus, his speed at which he mow has the same kinetic energy as his brother is (V + 1) m/s

Now, we are told that the mass of the student is twice as large as that of his brother. Thus, his brother's mass is; M/2

Since kinetic energy is given by the formula K.E = ½mv²

Therefore, since we want to find the original speed of both students and that the initial condition says that the running student had half the kinetic energy of the brother, we now initial condition as;

½MV²= ½(½(M/2)V²) - - - - (eq 1)

Since he has sped up by 1 m/s, and has a kinetic energy now equal to that of his brother, we have;

(½M(V + 1)²) = (½(M/2)V²) - - - - (Eq2)

Dividing eq 1 by eq 2 gives;

V²/(V + 1)²= 1/2

Taking square root of both sides gives;

V/(V + 1) = 1/√2

Cross multiply to give;

(√2)V = V + 1

(√2)V - V = 1

V((√2) - 1) = 1

V = 1/((√2) - 1)

Simplifying this using surfs gives;

V = [1/((√2) - 1)] × ((√2) + 1))/((√2) + 1))

V = ((√2) + 1))/1

V = (√2) + 1) m/s
