Answer:

X-Positions:                                         Y-Positions

x(0) = 0                                                   y(0) = 0

x(2) = 120 m                                           y(2) = 19.6 m

x(4) = 240 m                                          y(4) = 78.4 m

x(6) = 360 m                                          y(6) = 176.4 m

x(8) = 480 m                                          y(8) = 313 m

x(10) = 600m                                         y (10) = 490 m

Explanation:

X-Positions

  • First, we choose to take the horizontal direction as our x-axis, and the positive x-axis as positive.
  • After being thrown, in the horizontal direction, no external influence acts on the stone, so it will continue in the same direction at the same initial speed of 60. 0 m/s
  • So, in order to know the horizontal position at any time t, we can apply the definition of average velocity, rearranging terms, as follows:

       x = v_{ox} * t = 60.0 m/s * t(s)

  • It can be seen that after 2 s, the displacement will be 120 m, and each 2 seconds, as the speed is constant, the displacement will increase in the same 120 m each time.

Y-Positions

  • We choose to take the vertical direction as our y-axis, taking the downward direction as our positive axis.
  • As both axes are  perpendicular each other, both movements are independent each other also, so, in the vertical direction, the stone starts from rest.
  • At any moment, it is subject to the acceleration of gravity, g.
  • As the acceleration is constant, we can find the vertical displacement (taking the  height of the cliff as the initial reference level), using the following kinematic equation:

       y = \frac{1}{2} * g* t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 m/s2 * t(s)^{2}

  • Replacing by the values of t, we get the following vertical positions, from the height of the cliff as y = 0:
  • y(2) = 2* 9.8 m/s2 = 19.6 m
  • y(4) = 8* 9.8 m/s2 = 78.4 m
  • y(6) = 18*9.8 m/s2 = 176.4 m
  • y(8) = 32*9.8 m/s2 = 313.6 m
  • y(10)= 50 * 9.8 m/s2 = 490.0 m

Light striking a metal surface causes electrons to be emitted from the metal via the photoelectric effect.In a particular experi
ANEK [815]

The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases if the intensity of the incident light is increased.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

As a result of photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted by the light incident on a metal surface. The emitted electrons count and its kinetic energy can measure as the function of light intensity and frequency. Like physicists, at the 20th century beginning, it should be expected that the light wave's energy (its intensity) will be transformed into the kinetic energy of emitted electrons.

In addition, the electrons count emitting from metal must vary with light wave frequency. This frequency relationship was expected because the electric field oscillates due to the light wave and the metal electrons react to different frequencies. In other words, the number of electrons emitted was expected to be frequency dependent and their kinetic energy should be dependent on the intensity (constant wavelength) of light.

Thus, the maximum in kinetic energy of electrons emitted increases with increase in light's frequency and is experimentally independent of light intensity. So, the number of emitted electrons is proportionate to the intensity of the incident light.

What is amplitude?
nydimaria [60]
1. Frequency  is the number of complete waves that pass a point in a second.   2.Wavelength is the distance between two crests or two troughs.                     3.Time period <span> is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point. 4. Amplitude is the height of the wave.   Hence option 4 is correct. </span>

A cannon is fired straight up into the air. If the cannon ball comes back down to the launch point in 5 seconds, what was the ma
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

30.63 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Maximum height (h) =.?

Next, we shall determine the time taken to reach the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height =.?

T = 2t

5 = 2t

Divide both side by 2

t = 5/2

t = 2.5 s

Thus, the time (t) taken to reach the maximum height is 2.5 s

Finally, we shall determine the maximum height reached by the ball as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height = 2.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =.?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 2.5²

h = 4.9 × 6.25

h = 30.625 ≈ 30.63 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the cannon ball is 30.63 m

Hold a pencil in front of your eye at a position where its blunt end just blocks out the Moon.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m

Explanation:

Light rays coming from moon is blocked by the pencil

so as per figure we know that angle subtended by pencil and angle subtended by moon must be same

so we have

Angle = \frac{Arc}{Radius}

so we have

\frac{D}{3.8 \times 10^8 m} = \frac{0.7 cm}{75 cm}

so we have

D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m
