Answer:

Explanation:

Water expands when frozen and physically forces the rock apart. When water falls into rock cracks and freezes, As water expands on freezing it puts pressure on the walls of the rock deepening the crack and breaking it.

Porque deja de funcionar una estufa electrica cuando la electricidad es excesiva??

Brums [2.3K]

<h3>Porque deja de funcionar una estufa electrica cuando la electricidad es excesiva?</h3>

Es normal que los quemadores superiores de una estufa eléctrica o una estufa se enciendan y apaguen en configuraciones distintas a Hi. El quemador se encenderá y apagará más de lo normal cuando se utilizan cacerolas que no son planas o que son del tamaño incorrecto para el quemador.

Superman is flying 54.5 m/s when he sees

Nady [450]

348.34 m/s. When Superman reaches the train, his final velocity will be 348.34 m/s.

To solve this problem, we are going to use the kinematics equations for constant aceleration. The key for this problem are the equations $d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2}$ and $v_{f} =v_{0} +at$ where $d$ is distance, $v_{0}$ is the initial velocity, $v_{f}$ is the final velocity, $t$ is time, and $a$ is aceleration.

Superman's initial velocity is $v_{0}=54.5\frac{m}{s}$ , and he will have to cover a distance d = 850m in a time t = 4.22s. Since we know $d$ , $v_{0}$ and $t$ , we have to find the aceleration $a$ in order to find $v_{f}$ .

From the equation $d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2}$ we have to clear $a$ , getting the equation as follows: $a=\frac{2(d-v_{0}t) }{t^{2} }$ .

Substituting the values:

$a=\frac{2(850m-54.5\frac{m}{s}.4.22s) }{(4.22s)^{2}}=69.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

To find $v_{f}$ we use the equation $v_{f} =v_{0} +at$ .

Substituting the values:

$v_{f} =54.5\frac{m}{s} +(69.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}.4.22s)=348.34\frac{m}{s}$

Plane polarized light with intensity I0 is incident on a polarizer. What angle should the principle axis make with respenct to t

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Q = 47.06 degrees

Explanation:

Given:

- The transmitted intensity I = 0.464 I_o

- Incident Intensity I = I_o

Find:

What angle should the principle axis make with respect to the incident polarization

Solution:

- The relation of transmitted Intensity I to to the incident intensity I_o on a plane paper with its principle axis is given by:

I = I_o * cos^2 (Q)

- Where Q is the angle between the Incident polarized Light and its angle with the principle axis. Hence, Using the relation given above:

Q = cos ^-1 (sqrt (I / I_o))

- Plug the values in:

Q = cos^-1 ( sqrt (0.464))

Q = cos^-1 (0.6811754546)

Q = 47.06 degrees

Q9 A physics book slides off a horizontal tabletop with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350s. ignore air resistan

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

(a) 0.613 m

(b) 0.385 m

v = 3.68 m/s², θ = 72.6° below the horizontal

Explanation:

(a) Take down to be positive.

Given in the y direction:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

t = 0.350 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (0.350 s) + ½ (10 m/s²) (0.350 s)²

Δy = 0.613 m

(b) Given in the x direction:

v₀ = 1.10 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.350 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (1.10 m/s) (0.350 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.350 s)²

Δx = 0.385 m

vₓ = aₓt + v₀ₓ

vₓ = (0 m/s²) (0.350 s) + 1.10 m/s

vₓ = 1.10 m/s

vᵧ = aᵧt + v₀ᵧ

vᵧ = (10 m/s²) (0.350 s) + 0 m/s

vᵧ = 3.50 m/s

The magnitude is:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v = 3.68 m/s²

The direction is:

θ = atan(vᵧ / vₓ)

θ = 72.6° below the horizontal
