Answer:

V = 20.96 m/s

The magnitude of the velocity of the puck just before it touches the ground is 20.96 m/s

Explanation:

For the vertical component of velocity;

Using the equation of motion;

vᵥ^2 = u ^2 + 2as

Where;

vᵥ = final vertical speed

u = initial vertical speed = 0

(The puck only have horizontal speed.)

a = g =acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

s = vertical distance covered = 2.0m

initial horizontal speed = 20 m/s

The equation becomes;

vᵥ^2 = u ^2 + 2gs

Substituting the given values, we have;

vᵥ^2 = 0 + 2(9.8×2)

vᵥ^2 = 39.2

vᵥ = √39.2

vᵥ = 6.26 m/s

For the horizontal component of velocity;

Given that effect of the air resistance is negligible, then the final horizontal speed equals the initial horizontal speed since there is no acceleration.

vₕ = uₕ = 20 m/s

The resultant magnitude of velocity can be derived by;

V = √(vₕ² + vᵥ²)

V = √(20² + 6.26²)

V = 20.96 m/s

The magnitude of the velocity of the puck just before it touches the ground is 20.96 m/s

Answer:

20.96 m/s

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion

y = uᵧt + gt²/2

Since the puck slides off horizontally,

uᵧ = vertical component of the initial velocity of the puck = 0 m/s

y = vertical height of the platform = 2 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

t = time of flight of the puck = ?

2 = (0)(t) + 9.8 t²/2

4.9t² = 2

t = 0.639 s

For the horizontal component of the motion

x = uₓt + gt²/2

x = horizontal distance covered by the puck

uₓ = horizontal component of the initial velocity = 20 m/s

g = 0 m/s² as there's no acceleration component in the x-direction

t = 0.639 s

x = (20 × 0.639) + (0 × 0.639²/2) = 12.78 m

For the final velocity, we'll calculate the horizontal and vertical components

vₓ² = uₓ² + 2gx

g = 0 m/s²

vₓ = uₓ = 20 m/s

Vertical component

vᵧ² = uᵧ² + 2gy

vᵧ² = 0 + 2×9.8×2

vᵧ = 6.26 m/s

vₓ = 20 m/s, vᵧ = 6.26 m/s

Magnitude of the velocity = √(20² + 6.26²) = 20.96 m/s

tatyana61 [14]
The formula for frequency is f = 1/T where f is frequency and T is period in seconds. 
You have you period which is 0.008s and that is all you will need to solve or frequency in a wave:
f = 1/2
f = 1/0.008s
f = 125Hz

It takes you 8.3 min to walk with an average velocity of 1.6 m/s to the north from the bus stop to the museum entrance. How far
Anarel [89]

solution:

1.6 m/s = 96 m/min (in other words, 1.6 m/s x 60 s/min)  

96 m/min x 8.3 min = 796.8 m

s=ut +\frac{1}{2}at^2\\there is no accleration mentioned so,\\s= uv\\8.3\times60=498(s)\\510\times1.6=816(m)

A balloon is filled with helium at a pressure of 2.4 x 105 Pa. The balloon is at a
garri49 [273]
1)
p = 2.4 * 10^5 Pa
T = 18° C + 273.15 = 291.15 k
r = 0.25 m => V = [4/3]π(r^3) = [4/3]π(0.25m)^3 = 0.06545 m^3 = 65.45 L

Use ideal gas equation: pV = nRT => n = pV / RT = [2.4*10^5 Pa * 0.06545 m^3] / [8.31 J/k*mol * 291.15k] = 6.492 mol

Avogadro number = 1 mol = 6.022 * 10^23 atoms

Number of atoms = 6.492 mol * 6.022 *10^23 atom/mol = 39.097 * 10^23 atoms = 3.91 * 10^24 atoms

2) Double atoms => double volume

V2 / V1 = r2 ^3 / r1/3

2 = r2 ^3 / r1 ^3 => r2 ^3 = 2* r1 ^3

r2 = [∛2]r1

The factor is ∛2

Two large thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have excess surface charge of
wariber [46]

Answer:

For left = 0  N/C

For right = 0  N/C

At middle = -7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i}  N/C

Explanation:

Given data :-

б =6.8 * 10^{-22} C/ m²

Considering the two thin metal plates to be non conducting sheets of charges.

Electric field is given by

E = \frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon }

1) To the left of the plate

\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+  (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})   = 0 N/C.

2) To the right of them.

\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+  (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})   = 0 N/C.

3) Between them.

\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+  (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i}) = (\frac{\sigma }{\varepsilon })(-\vec{i}) = -\frac{6.8 * 10^{-22} }{8.85 * 10 ^{-12} }  \vec{i} =   -7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i} N/C
