Answer:

2.5 s, 5 m

Explanation:

The equations for the horizontal and vertical position of Lukalu are:

$x(t) = 8t\\y(t) = -16t^2 + 100$

we can find the time it takes her to reach the ground by requiring that the vertical position becomes zero:

y(t) = 0

So we find:

$0=-16t^2 +100\\16t^2 = 100\\t=\sqrt{\frac{100}{16}}=2.5 s$

The horizontal distance of Lukalu instead will be given by the equation for the horizontal position, substituting t = 2.5 s:

$x=8t = 8 \cdot 2.5 s =5 m$

A light beam travels at 1.94×108 in quartz. The wavelength of the light in quartz is 355 .Part AWhat is the index of refraction

Alja [10]

A) 1.55

The speed of light in a medium is given by:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where

$c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light in a vacuum

n is the refractive index of the material

In this problem, the speed of light in quartz is

$v=1.94\cdot 10^8 m/s$

So we can re-arrange the previous formula to find n, the index of refraction of quartz:

$n=\frac{c}{v}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.94\cdot 10^8 m/s}=1.55$

B) 550.3 nm

The relationship between the wavelength of the light in air and in quartz is

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelenght in quartz

$\lambda_0$ is the wavelength in air

n is the refractive index

For the light in this problem, we have

$\lambda=355 nm\\n=1.55$

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find $\lambda_0$ , the wavelength in air:

$\lambda_0 = n\lambda=(1.55)(355 nm)=550.3 nm$

A ball is dropped from a building of height h. Assume the ball starts from rest and that air friction can be ignored. Derive an

agasfer [191]

Answer:

$t=\sqrt{h/g}$

Explanation:

We use the kinematics equation to solve this question:

$y(t)=y_{o}+v_{o}t+1/2*a*t^{2}$

$v_{o}=0$ because the ball is dropped

$a=-g$ the acceleration is the gravity, negative because it points downwards

$y_{o}=h$ initial height

$y(t)=h/2$ final height

So:

$h/2=h-1/2*g*t^{2}$

$t=\sqrt{h/g}$

at the center of the neutral metal block, what is the direction of the electric field contributed by the charge in and on the me

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The direction of electric field by the charge in and on the metal block will be along the direction line 5 as given in question.

<h3>How to determine electric field direction in a metal block?</h3>

The charge always remain on outer surface of metal and inside the metal block, the net electric field is zero. But due to dipole there is an electric field at the center of metal block i.e. at point R along direction line 1.

Now, to make make the net electric field zero at center, the electric field by the charge in and on the metal block must be equal in magnitude to that of electric field due to dipole at point R and in opposite direction to that of the net electric field at at R due to dipole.

The electric field by the charge in and on the metal block will be making 180° angle to the electric field due to dipole at point R.

Hence the direction of electric field by the charge in and on the metal block will be along the direction line 5 as given in question.

A cheetah can accelerate at 4.5 m/s from rest to a speed of 30.0 m/s. Calculatethe distance

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

d= 100m

Explanation:

Cheetah kinematic

The cheetah moves with uniformly accelerated movement, and the formulas that describe this movement are:

d= v₀*t + (1/2)*a*t² Formula (1)

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (2)

vf=v₀+a*t Formula (3)

Where:

d:distance in meters (m)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

a: acceleration in m/s²

t: time in seconds (s)

Known Data

v₀ =0

a = 4.5 m/s²

vf= 30 m/s.

Problem development

We apply the formula (2) that has known data to calculate the distance :

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d

(30)²= 0 + 2* 4.5* d

$d= \frac{900}{9}$

d= 100m
