because if you were stuck on an island and you had a bag of of stuff and you also had a convex lens in there it could be good if u can't start a fire by rubbing to sticks instead you can use the convex lens to start a fire

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics
spayn [35]

Answer:

v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}

Explanation:

This is a projectile motion problem. We will first separate the motion into x- and y-components, apply the equations of kinematics separately, then we will combine them to find the initial velocity.

The initial velocity is in the x-direction, and there is no acceleration in the x-direction.

On the other hand, there no initial velocity in the y-component, so the arrow is basically in free-fall.

Applying the equations of kinematics in the x-direction gives

x - x_0 = v_{x_0} t + \frac{1}{2}a_x t^2\\63 \times 10^{-3} = v_0t + 0\\t = \frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}

For the y-direction gives

v_y = v_{y_0} + a_y t\\v_y = 0 -9.8t\\v_y = -9.8t

Combining both equation yields the y_component of the final velocity

v_y = -9.8(\frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}) = -\frac{0.61}{v_0}

Since we know the angle between the x- and y-components of the final velocity, which is 180° - 2.8° = 177.2°, we can calculate the initial velocity.

\tan(\theta) = \frac{v_y}{v_x}\\\tan(177.2^\circ) = -0.0489 = \frac{v_y}{v_0} = \frac{-0.61/v_0}{v_0} = -\frac{0.61}{v_0^2}\\v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}

Calculate the binding energy per nucleon of the helium nucleus 52he. express your answer in millions of electron volts to four s
Vitek1552 [10]
The main formula is given by Eb/nucleon = Eb/ mass of nucleid
as for <span>52He, the mass is 5
so by applying Einstein's formula Eb=DmC², Eb=</span><span>binding energy
</span><span>52He-----------> 2 x 11p + 3 x10n is the equation bilan
</span>so Dm=2 mp + (5-2)mn-mnucleus, mp=mass of proton=1.67 10^-27 kg
                                                        mn=mass of neutron=<span>1.67 10^-27 kg
                                                        </span><span>m nucleus= 5
Dm= 2x</span>1.67 10^-27 kg+ 3x<span>1.67 10^-27 kg-5=  - 4.9 J
Eb= </span> - <span>4.9 J x c²= -4.9 x 9 .10^16= - 45 10^16 J
so the answer is Eb /nucleon = Eb/5= -9.10^16 J, but 1eV=1.6 . 10^-19 J
so </span><span>-9.10^16 J/ 1.6 10^-19=  -5.625 10^35 eV

the final answer is </span><span>Eb /nucleon </span><span>=  -5.625 x10^35 eV</span>

Blake is setting up his tent at a renaissance fair. If the tent is 8 feet tall and the tether can be staked no more than 2 feet
Mariana [72]
The stake, height and tether length of the tent form a right angle triangle where the tether length is the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem:
length² = height² + (stake distance)²
length = √(8² + 2²)
length = 8.5 feet
