Answer: v= 160ft/s

a=32ft/s^2 constant

Explanation:

s(t)=400-16t^2 derivative of position is velocity v(t) and derivative of velocity is acceleration a(t) so let s(t)=0 to find the time of flight to reach the ground and take the two derivatives and use the time found and solve. Also acceleration is a constant as it’s gravity.

0=400-16t^2

400=16t^2

25=t^2

t=5s

ds/dt=v(t)=0-32t

dv/dt=a(t)=-32 constant(gravity)

v(t)=-32(5s)= -160ft/s negative sign is only showing direction

The length of the side of a cube having a density of 12.6 g/ml and a mass of 7.65 g is __________ cm.
qaws [65]

Density is the characteristic property of a substance.  It is the measure of mass of the substance divided by its volume (density= mass/volume). Manipulate the given formula to come up with the formula for the volume. Therefore, volume is equals to mass of a substance divided by its density (Vol= mass/density). Given 12.6 g/ml as density and 7.65 g mass, volume is equals to 0.60714 ml, since 1 ml = 1cm^3, volume is equals to 0.60714 cm^3 then extract the cube root of the volume to get the length of the cube in cm which is equal to 0.84677 cm.

Light refracts when it passes through some objects. What is refraction?
blagie [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

in physics, the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed. For example, waves in deep water travel faster than in shallow.from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium. Refraction of light is the most commonly observed phenomenon, but other waves such as sound waves and water waves also experience refraction in other words it can be all of them or i can narrow it down some more it can have a change in dirction when light enters into a traveling point for example after moving through air it passes through a prism called  compare reflection

Which of the following is a circuit component whose function includes changing an open circuit to a closed circuit?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

<h2>B. Switch</h2>

Explanation:

<u>A device designed to open or close a circuit under controlled conditions is called a switch. The terms “open” and “closed” refer to switches as well as entire circuits. An open switch is one without continuity: current cannot flow through it.</u>

We are given a piece of copper of mass m=0.82 g to form a cylindrical wire of resistance R=0.87.2. What should be the length / o
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Length of wire=2.16 m

Diameter of wire=0.232 mm

Explanation:

m= mass of copper wire= 0.82 g

R= Resistance of copper wire= 0.87 ohms

D= Density of copper= 8.96 g/cm^3

ρ= Resistivity= 1.7×10^-8 Ωm

Density=\frac{mass}{volume}\\\Rightarrow volume=\frac{mass}{density}\\\Rightarrow volume=\frac {0.82}{8.96}\\\Rightarrow volume=0.091\ cm^3\\ volume = \pi r^2 l\\\Rightarrow \pi r^2=\frac{volume}{l}\\ \Rightarrow \pi r^2=\frac {0.091}{l}\\

\rho=R\frac{A}{l}\\\Rightarrow 1.7\times 10^{-8}=0.87 \frac{\pi r^2}{l}\\\Rightarrow 1.7\times 10^{-8}=0.87 \frac{0.091\times 10^{-6}}{l^2}\\\Rightarrow l^2=\frac {0.87\times 0.091\times 10^{-6}}{1.7\times 10^{-8}}\\\Rightarrow l^2=0.046\times 10^2\\\Rightarrow length=2.16\ m

\pi r^2=\frac {0.091}{l}\\\Rightarrow r^2=\frac {0.091\times 10^{-6}}{2.16 \pi}\\\Rightarrow r^2=1.34\times 10^{-8}\\\Rightarrow r=0.00011\ m\\\Rightarrow d=0.000232\ m\\\therefore diameter=0.232\ mm
