you throw an object straight up at 15m/s. how fast is it going when it gets back to the height from which you threw it?

laiz [17]

At the same speed because it will slow down as it approaches the peak then speed up as it goes down again

it will be going 15m/s when it gets to the same height if we neglect air resistance and the object doesn't hit something

A straight segment of a current-carrying wire has a current element IL where I = 2.70 A and L = 3.20 cm i + 4.30 cm j. The segme

myrzilka [38]

The component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

The given parameters;

current in the wire, I = 2.7 A
length of the wire, L = (3.2 i + 4.3j) cm
magnetic filed, B = 1.24 i

The force on the segment of the wire is calculated as follows;

$F = ILBsin(\theta)$

where;

θ is the angle wire and magnetic field

The force on the wire segment will be perpendicular in negative z-direction (applying right hand rule), so there won't be any x and y component of the force.

The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is calculated as follows;

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{y}{x} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{4.3}{3.2} )\\\\\theta = 53.3 \ ^0$

The magnitude of the wire length is calculated as follows;

$|l | = \sqrt{3.2^2 + 4.3^2} = 5.36 \ cm = 0.0536 \ m$

The component of the force in negative z-direction is calculated as;

$F_z = -ILB sin(\theta)\\\\F_z = -2.7 \times 0.0536 \times 1.24 \times sin(53.3)\\\\F_z = -0.144 \ N$

Thus, the component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

Traveling waves are generated on a string fixed at both ends. The string has a length L, a linear mass density m, and a tension

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: d. I or II

Explanation: A traveling wave has speed that depends on characteristics of a medium. Characteristics like linear density (μ), which is defined as mass per length.

Tension or Force ( $F_{T}$ ) is also related to the speed of a moving wave.

The relationship between tension and linear density and speed is ginve by the formula:

$|v|=\sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }$

So, for the traveling waves generated on a string fixed at both ends described above, ways to increase wave speed would be:

1) Increase Tension and maintaining mass and length constant;

2) Longer string will decrease linear density, which will increase wave speed, due to their inversely proportional relationship;

Then, ways to increase the wave speed is

I. Using the same string but increasing tension

II. Using a longer string with the same μ and T.

. Light travels at a speed of about 300 000 km/s. a. Express this value in scientific notation. b. Convert this value to meters

olganol [36]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

light speed = 300 000 km/s

a) Express it in scientific notation

to do it, we just move the decimal point 5 places to the left

300 000 = 3.0 x 10 ⁵ km/s

b) Convert this value to meters per hour

(300 000 km/s)(1000 m/1 km)(3600 s/1 h) = 300000x1000x3600 / 1x1x1

= 1.08 x 10¹² m/h

c) What distance in centimeters does light travel in 1 s?

data

v = 300 000 km/s

d = ?

t = 1 s

formula v = d/t we clear distance d = vxt

d = 300000 x 1 = 300000 km

d = 300000000 m = 30000000000 cm
