A man walks 30 m to the west than 5 m to the east in 45 seconds.

Physics
1 answer:
harkovskaia [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

35 m

0.56 m/s west

Explanation:

A) Total distance is the length of the path taken.

30 m + 5 m = 35 m

B) Velocity is displacement over time.  Displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position.

If west is -x, and east is +x, then:

Δx = -30 m + 5 m

Δx = -25 m

v = Δx / t

v = -25 m / 45 s

v = -0.56 m/s

v = 0.56 m/s west

The average period of pendulum clock is found to be 1.2s at sea level. The period of the same pendulum on a mountain top is foun
Kipish [7]

Answer:

g' = 10.12m/s^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain, you first calculate the length of the pendulum, by using the information about the period at the sea level.

You use the following formula:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}         (1)

l: length of the pendulum = ?

g: acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.79m/s^2

T: period of the pendulum at sea level = 1.2s

You solve for l in the equation (1):

l=\frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2}\\\\l=\frac{(9.79m/s^2)(1.2s)^2}{4\pi^2}=0.35m

Next, you use the information about the length of the pendulum and the period at the top of the mountain, to calculate the acceleration due to gravity in such a place:

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g'}}\\\\g'=\frac{4\pi^2l}{T'^2}

g': acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain

T': new period of the pendulum

g'=\frac{4\pi^2(0.35m)}{(1.18s)^2}=10.12\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain is 10.12m/s^2

A force of 10N acts on a car for 3 seconds. The impulse imparted on the car is
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

30N*s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 10N

Time = 3 seconds

To find the impulse;

Impulse = force * time

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Impulse = 10 * 3

Impulse = 30Ns

What do we mean when we say that energy levels are quantized in atoms?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Electrons are located in specific orbit corresponding to discrete energy levels

Explanation:

In Bohr's model of the atom, electron orbit the nucleus in specific levels, each of them corresponding to a specific energy. The electrons cannot be located in the space between two levels: this means that only some values of energy are possible for the electrons, so the energy levels are quantized.

A confirmation of Bohr's model is found in the spectrum of emission of gases. In fact, when an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it emits a photon whose energy is exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two levels: since the energy levels are discrete, this means that the emitted photons cannot have any value of wavelength, but also their wavelength will appear as a discrete spectrum. This is exactly what it is observed in the spectrum of emission of gases.

The table below shows the right ascensions of two stars at a location.
noname [10]
Star 1 - 4 hours right ascension
 Star 2 - 3 hours right ascension
 Subtracting hours right ascension
 4 hours right ascension - 3 hours right ascension = 1 hours right ascension.
Thus,
 star 1 will rise 1 hour before star 2
