A key falls from a bridge that is 32 m above the water. It falls directly into a model boat, moving with constant velocity, that

was 11 m from the point of impact when the key was released. What is the speed of the boat?

Answer:

Speed of the boat, v = 4.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge, h = 32 m

The model boat is 11 m from the point of impact when the key was released, d = 11 m

Firstly, we will find the time needed for the boat to get in this position using second equation of motion as :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Here, u = 0 and a = g

$t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 32}{9.8}}$

t = 2.55 seconds

Let v is the speed of the boat. It can be calculated as :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$v=\dfrac{11\ m}{2.55\ s}$

v = 4.31 m/s

So, the speed of the boat is 4.31 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Grop 17 of the periodic table contains the ?

Andrei [34K]

Group 17 is the second column from the right in the periodic table and contains six elements: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (As), and (Ts). Astatine and are radioactive elements with very short half-lives and thus do not occur naturally.

A particle with charge 7.76×10^(−8)C is moving in a region where there is a uniform 0.700 T magnetic field in the +x-direction.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The z-component of the force is $\= F_z = 0.00141 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge on the particle is $q = 7.76 *0^{-8} \ C$

The magnitude of the magnetic field is $B = 0.700\r i \ T$

The velocity of the particle toward the x-direction is $v_x = -1.68*10^{4}\r i \ m/s$

The velocity of the particle toward the y-direction is

$v_y = -2.61*10^{4}\ \r j \ m/s$

The velocity of the particle toward the z-direction is

$v_y = -5.85*10^{4}\ \r k \ m/s$

Generally the force on this particle is mathematically represented as

$\= F = q (\= v X \= B )$

So we have

$\= F = q ( v_x \r i + v_y \r j + v_z \r k ) \ \ X \ ( \= B i)$

$\= F = q (v_y B(-\r k) + v_z B\r j)$

substituting values

$\= F = (7.7 *10^{-8})([ (-2.61*10^{4}) (0.700)](-\r z) + [(5.58*10^{4}) (0.700)]\r y)$

$\= F= 0.00303\ \r j +0.00141\ \r k$

So the z-component of the force is $\= F_z = 0.00141 \ N$

The ball is moving at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s for 2.3 seconds how far does it go?

yarga [219]

Distance = (speed) x (time)

Distance = (0.5 m/s) x (2.3 s)

Distance = (0.5 x 2.3) m

Distance = 1.15 meters

If the angular velocity of the pully is -8.4rad/s at a given time, and its anglar acceleration is -2.8rad/s2, what is the angula

snow_lady [41]

Here we know that

$\omega_i = - 8.4 rad/s$

$\alpha = - 2.8 rad/s^2$

$t = 1.5 s$

now from kinematics we have

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$

now from above all values we have

$\omega_f = (-8.4 rad/s) + (-2.8 rad/s^2)(1.5)$

$\omega_f = -8.4 + (-4.2)$

$\omega_f = -12.6 rad/s$

so final angular speed is -12.6 rad/s
