Under the assumption that the three rocks are dropped from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same speed. The gravity of Earth is virtually the same for any object that is small compared to the size of the Earth. The acceleration will change with the distance from the Earth, but this change is so small for the range of heights we work with (consider the range of heights from sea level to the tip of Mount Everest) that we can take the average value and assume it to be constant. This constant value of acceleration due to Earth's gravity is 9.80665m/s²


Because the objects fall under the same constant acceleration, they will hit the ground at the same speed.

an op amp in unity gain configuration (buffer) with slew rate of 5v/us is used to amplify a sinusoidal signal with a frequency o
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The maximum amplitude (V_{max}) will be 7.96 V.

Explanation:

We know, for distortion free operation, the slew rate (S) of an OPAMP is written as

S = 2 \pi f V_{max}

where 'f' is the highest frequency signal.

Therefore, from the above equation we can write,

&&5 \frac{V}{\mu s} = 2 \pi 100 kHz \times V_{max}\\&or,& V_{max} = \frac{5V}{10^{-6} s \times 2 \pi 100 \times 10^{3} Hz}\\&or,& V_{max} = \frac{5}{2 \pi \times 10^{-1}} V = 7.96 V

What is the significance of a standard system of measurement?
dimulka [17.4K]

Because scientists all over the world are working together, looking for answers to the same questions, just as much as if they all worked in the same physical laboratory in the same building.  They need a way to share data and experimental results in a form that everyone can understand. ( D )

Let's say I perform an experiment and get very exciting results. I'm a good scientist, so the next thing I want to do is to publish a complete description of how I did my experiment, and include all of my results.  That way, scientists around the world can read about what I did, they can find any mistakes that I made, and they can even repeat my experiment for themselves and see if they get the same results.

Now let's say that my results looked like this:

Result #1). 

The reaction stabilized when it reached the rate of 1.26 briligs per tove.

Result #2).

After running at that constant rate for 35 toves, a pile of product was produced whose mass was exactly 61.284 wibbles.

Result #3).

When the pile of product was allowed to settle for another 20 toves, it had spread out, and covered an area of 14.907 square filks.

Do YOU understand my results ?

All those other scientists would have a tough time trying to decide whether my results made sense.  And if they repeated my experiment, they would have no way to tell whether their results matched mine or not.

Without a standard system of measurement, and units that mean the same thing to everybody, us scientists literally could not communicate.

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.2 amps :)

Explanation:

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

         Known:

  • R = 10.0 Ω                            
  • V = 12.0 V

       Unknown:

  • I = ???

I = V/R

= 12.0 V / 10.0 Ω

= 1.2 amps

The 2.50 kg cube in the figure has edge lengths d = 6.50 cm and is mounted on an axle
kozerog [31]

Answer:

0.191 s

Explanation:

The distance from the center of the cube to the upper corner is r = d/√2.

When the cube is rotated an angle θ, the spring is stretched a distance of r sin θ.  The new vertical distance from the center to the corner is r cos θ.

Sum of the torques:

∑τ = Iα

Fr cos θ = Iα

(k r sin θ) r cos θ = Iα

kr² sin θ cos θ = Iα

k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = Iα

For a cube rotating about its center, I = ⅙ md².

k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = ⅙ md² α

3k sin θ cos θ = mα

3/2 k sin(2θ) = mα

For small values of θ, sin θ ≈ θ.

3/2 k (2θ) = mα

α = (3k/m) θ

d²θ/dt² = (3k/m) θ

For this differential equation, the coefficient is the square of the angular frequency, ω².

ω² = 3k/m

ω = √(3k/m)

The period is:

T = 2π / ω

T = 2π √(m/(3k))

Given m = 2.50 kg and k = 900 N/m:

T = 2π √(2.50 kg / (3 × 900 N/m))

T = 0.191 s

The period is 0.191 seconds.
