The height of the roof is <u>3.57m</u>

Let the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop per t seconds. The first drop takes 5t seconds to reach the ground. The second drop takes 4t seconds to reach the bottom of the 1.00 m window, while the 3rd drop takes 3t s to reach the top of the window.

Calculate the distances traveled by the second and the third drops s₂ and s₃, which start from rest from the roof of the building.

s_2=\frac{1}{2} g(4t)^2=8gt^2\\  s_3=\frac{1}{2} g(3t)^2=(4.5)gt^2

The length of the window s is given by,

s=s_2-s_3\\ (1.00 m)=8gt^2-4.5gt^2=3.5gt^2\\ t^2=\frac{1.00 m}{(3.5)(9.8m/s^2)} =0.02915s^2

The first drop is at the bottom and it takes 5t seconds to reach down.

The height of the roof h is the distance traveled by the first drop and is given by,

h=\frac{1}{2} g(5t)^2=\frac{25t^2}{2g} =\frac{25(0.02915s^2)}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =3.57 m

the height of the roof is 3.57 m

The height of the edge of the roof is \boxed{3.57\text{ m}} or \boxed{357\text{ cm}}.

Further explanation:

When drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate, the rate of flow does not change with time. Each drops take same time to fall from the edge. If a drop is at the verge of fall, surface tension will balance the weight of the drop.

When surface tension reaches to its extreme value and weight of the drop exceeds the maximum value of surface tension, water drop will fall from the edge of a roof.

Given:

The height of the window is 1\text{ m}.

Concept:

Let the rate at which drops fall from the edge of a roof is 1 drop per t\text{ sec}.

The rate 1 drop per t\text{ sec} indicates that after every t\text{ sec} one drop falls from the edge of a roof.  

The time taken by first drop to reach ground is 4t.

Time taken by second drop to reach at the bottom of the window is 3t.

Time taken by third drop to reach at the top of the window is 2t.

During the whole time when drop is in air, it is subjected to a gravitational pull. So, the acceleration of each drop will be g in downward direction.

The second equation of motion is:  

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{t^2}  

For free fall.  

\begin{aligned}u&=0 \hfill \\s&=- h \hfill \\a&=- g \hfill \\ \end{aligned}  

Negative sign is taken for h as drop travels in the negative direction of y axis.

h=\frac{1}{2}g{t^2}                                       …… (1)

For second drop.

\begin{aligned}{h_2}&=\frac{1}{2}g{\left( {4t} \right)^2} \\&=8g{t^2} \\ \end{aligned}  

For third drop.

\begin{aligned}{h_3}&=\frac{1}{2}g{\left( {3t} \right)^2} \\&=4.5g{t^2} \\ \end{aligned}

 

The difference of h_2 and h_3 will be the length of the window 1\text{ m}.

{h_2}-{h_3}=1\,{\text{m}}

Substitute the values.

\begin{aligned}8g{t^2} - 4.5g{t^2}&=1\,{\text{m}} \hfill \\{\text{3}}{\text{.5g}}{{\text{t}}^2}&=1\,{\text{m}} \hfill \\3.5\left( {9.81\,{\text{m/}}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}} \right){t^2}&=1\,{\text{m}} \hfill \\ \end{aligned}

Simplify the above expression for {t^2}.  

\begin{aligned}{{\text{t}}^2}&=\frac{{1{\kern 1pt} {\text{m}}}}{{3.5\left( {9.81{\kern 1pt} {\text{m/}}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}} \right)}} \\&=0.02913\,{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}} \\ \end{aligned}  

For first drop.

\begin{aligned}{h_1}&=\frac{1}{2}g{\left( {5t} \right)^2} \\&=12.5\,g{t^2} \\&=\left( {12.5} \right)\left( {9.81\,{\text{m/}}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}} \right)\left( {0.02913\,{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}} \right) \\&=3.57\,{\text{m}} \\ \end{aligned}  

h_1 will be the height of the roof from ground.

Thus, the height of the edge of the roof is \boxed{3.57\text{ m}} or \boxed{357\text{ cm}}.

The drawing shows a golf ball passing through a windmill at a miniature golf course. The windmill has 12 blades and rotates at a
tester [92]

Answer:

v<em>min</em> = 0.23 m/s

Explanation:

The golf ball must travel a distance equal to its diameter in the time between blade arrivals to avoid being hit. If there are 12 blades and 12 blade openings and they have the same width, then each blade or opening is 1/24 of a circle of is 2π/24 = 0.26 radians across.

Therefore, the time between the edge of one blade moving out of the way and the next blade moving in the way is

time = angular distance/angular velocity

⇒ t = 0.26 rad / 1.35 rad/s = 0.194 s

The golf ball must get completely through the blade path in this time, so must move a distance  equal to its diameter in 0.194 s, therefore the speed of the golf ball is

v =d/t

⇒ v = 0.045 m / 0.194 s = 0.23 m/s

Analyzing the Light Bulb: You should have noticed that the light bulb doesn't have a single well-defined "resistance," since the
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Resistance increases with increase in temperature which depends on power supplied which also depends on voltage.

Thermal expansion will make resistance larger.

Explanation:

Light bulb is a good example of a filament lamp. If we plot the graph of voltage against current we will notice that resistance is constant at constant temperature.

The filament heats up when an electric current passes through it, and produces light as a result.

The resistance of a lamp increases as the temperature of its filament increases. The current flowing through a filament lamp is not directly proportional to the voltage across it.

tensile stress begins to appear in resistor as the temperature rises. Thus, the resistance value increases as the temperature rises. Resistance value can only decrease as the temperature rises in case of thin film resistor with aluminium substrate.

In case of a filament bulb, the resistance will increase as increase in length of the wire. The thermal expansion in this regard is linear expansivity in which resistance is proportional to length of the wire.

Resistance therefore get larger.

Question 5 of 10
jonny [76]

Answer:

A. The particle model, because only high-energy frequencies of light  can remove electrons .

Explanation:

Each photon of blue light has higher energy than each photon of red light has  . So when each photon strikes each electron , it gets ejected . But the photon of red light has not sufficient energy to eject electron . Once the photon of red light strikes the electron , the energy is wasted off . Energy of photon can not be accumulated . Thus photon behaves like particle .

What is the net force of an object with a mass of 90.0 and accelerating at 3.0 m/s
Ksivusya [100]

The net force is 270 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law, which states that the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have

m = 90.0 kg

a=3.0 m/s^2

Substituting, we find the net force on the object:

F=(90.0)(3.0)=270 N
