Answer:

The speed at which the ball rolled off the end of the table is 3.3 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table.

The position vector of the ball can be calculated as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

When the ball reaches the ground, its position will be:

r final = (3, -4)

Then:

3 = x0 + v0x · t

-4 = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table, x0 and y0 = 0. v0y is also 0 ( see the initial velocity vector in the figure to elucidate why). Then:

3 m = v0x · t

-4 m = 1/2 · g · t²

We can solve for "t" in the equation of the y-component and use it in the equation of the x-component to obtain v0x:

-4 m = 1/2 · g · t²

-4 m = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

8 m / 9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 0.9 s

Then:

3 m = v0x · 0.9s

3 m/ 0.9 s = v0x

v0x = 3.3 m/s

The speed at which the ball roll off the end of the table is 3.3 m/s

A wire is oriented along the x-axis. It is connected to two batteries, and a conventional current of 2.6 A runs through the wire
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that, the magnitude of magnetic force is given as;

|F_{mg}^> | = I(B^> × L^> )

given that

I = 2.6 A

B^> = 0.17

L^> = 0.52

so we substitute

|F_{mg}^> | = 2.6( 0.17i" × 0.52j" )

|F_{mg}^> | = 0.2298 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N

How does a mirage occur in a deser?explain with a labelled diagram.​
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.

Explanation:

They happen when light passes through two layers of air with different temperatures. The desert sun heats the sand, which in turn heats the air just above it. The hot air bends light rays and reflects the sky.

When you see it from a distance, the different air masses colliding with each other act as a mirror.

What is non-point source pollution, and why is this kind of pollution hard to monitor and control?
antoniya [11.8K]

The use of pesticides in farming land is example of non-point source pollution. The area of emitting of pollution is very large. That is why, it is difficult to monitor and control this type of pollution.

Americans get their water for everyday use through aquifer. Aquifers can be conserve by avoiding high amount of chemical uses and reducing household waste. Also the sustainable use of water cause conservation of natural resource.

Aquifer are basically underground water present in ground pores. The structure of aquifer just look like sponge. The water moves through the porous surfaces of the ground.

What exerts a centripetal force on a person running around a curve?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The inertial force of the body

Explanation:

Everybody that is moving in a curved path has an inertial force called centrifugal force.

The counterforce of the centrifugal force is called the centripetal force. It also acts on every rotating body.

This force is always directed towards the center of the origin of the curve.

The velocity of the object changes its direction and magnitude at any instant of time. But the speed and angular velocity of the object remains the same for uniform circular motion.

So, according to the Newtonian mechanics, it is the inertial force of the body responsible for the centripetal force.
