Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 20.0 m above water wit

h an initial speed of 15.0 m/s strikes the water with a speed of 24.8 m/s independent of the direction thrown. (Hint: show that $$K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f)$$

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge is 20m

Initial before he throws the rock

The height is hi = 20 m

Then, final height hitting the water

hf = 0 m

Initial speed the rock is throw

Vi = 15m/s

The final speed at which the rock hits the water

Vf = 24.8 m/s

Using conservation of energy given by the question hint

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ki is initial kinetic energy

Ui is initial potential energy

Kf is final kinetic energy

Uf is final potential energy

Then,

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ei = Ki + Ui

Where Ei is initial energy

Ei = ½mVi² + m•g•hi

Ei = ½m × 15² + m × 9.8 × 20

Ei = 112.5m + 196m

Ei = 308.5m J

Now,

Ef = Kf + Uf

Ef = ½mVf² + m•g•hf

Ef = ½m × 24.8² + m × 9.8 × 0

Ef = 307.52m + 0

Ef = 307.52m J

Since Ef ≈ Ei, then the rock thrown from the tip of a bridge is independent of the direction of throw

How do you compare the energies of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
faltersainse [42]

The different types of radiation in electromagnetic spectrum are compared by the amount of energy found in the photons.

Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio-waves. Infrared photons still have more energy, then comes visible, ultraviolet, x-rays and the most energetic of all, gamma rays.

The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. So, electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy.

On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light. On the other end of the spectrum are gamma rays with wavelengths billions of times smaller than those of visible light.

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a

    z= 2.5 \ m

b

   z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     Their distance apart is  d =  5.00 \ m

      The  wavelength of each source wave \lambda =  6.0 \ m

Let the distance from source A  where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

              z - (d-z) =  m \lambda

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e  points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m =  0

  so

        z - (5-z) =  0

=>     2 z - 5 =  0

=>     z= 2.5 \ m

Generally the path difference for destructive  interference is

           |z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>         |2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>        |2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}

substituting values

          |2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}

=>      z  =  \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}

So  

      z =  \frac{5 + 3}{2}

      z =  4\ m

and

      z =  \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}

=>   z =  1 \ m

=>    z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

The moon is smaller and more dense than the Earth, and has less extreme temperature changes.
Lerok [7]
<span>The moon is smaller and more dense than the Earth, and has less extreme temperature changes. The statement presented is True. In terms of temperature, since there is no atmosphere on the moon, then it has less extreme temperature changes. The moon can reach 253 Fahrenheit in the day and -387 Fahrenheit at night.</span>

PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR HOURS!! How do some carnivorous plants avoid beginning the digestion process from an a
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Once a carnivorous plant has procured an item for dinner, it has to have some way to turn it into fertilizer. What carnivorous plants do is very similar to what humans do with their dinner after they have eaten it. Most carnivorous plants have glands that secrete acids and enzymes to dissolve proteins and other compounds. The plants may also enlist other organisms to help with digestion. The plants then absorb the nutrients made available from the prey.

Drosera releases digestive juices through the glands at the tip of its tentacles and absorbs the nutrients through the tentacles, leaf surface, and sessile glands. In order to do this it bends its tentacles and rolls or bends the leaf to get as many tentacles as possible into contact with the prey for digestion and to make as much leaf surface available for absorption. Its relative Drosophyllum has differently structured, non moving tentacles and doesn't use them directly for digestion. Instead it has specialized glands on the surface of the leaf that release the digestive enzymes (see Carniv. Pl. Newslett. 11(3):66-73 ( PDF ) for drawings and discussion).

The sealed trap of Dionaea does digestion in a way similar to the leaf surface digestion carnivores—upon capture of a prey, digestive enzymes in mucous are released. The advantage of the sealed trap of Dionaea is rain won't wash away the nutrients as digestion proceeds.

The sealed trap carnivores Aldrovanda and Utricularia already have water in their traps so they only need to release enzymes. Utricularia appears to release the enzymes continuously into its traps.

The other carnivorous plants use either a mixed mode of digestive enzymes and partner organisms (Genlisea, Sarracenia, most Nepenthes, Cephalotus, some Heliamphora, Roridula) or other organisms exclusively for digestion (most Heliamphora, some Nepenthes, Darlingtonia). Part of the reason for partnering with other organisms is that the plants actually have little choice in the matter. This could also be a factor for the leaf surface and sealed trap digesters as well. The prey will have gut flora that are quite capable of digesting their host when it dies. In addition, insect larvae, frog tadpoles, and predacious protozoans will or will attempt to take up residence in water-filled traps. The plant releasing digestive enzymes and acids into the traps will help tip the nutrition balance to themselves, but there are limits.
