Using the standard convention "positive is up", what is the sign of the acceleration of a rock you throw up (a) as it is going u

p, and (b) as it is coming back down?

Answer:

(a) Negative

(b) Positive

Explanation:

Here is a question on sign.

(a) When the rock is going up, it is working against gravity. In this case, the acceleration due to gravity will take a negative value. This is because gravity works or acts downwards

(b) When the rock is coming down, it is actually working with gravity. So in this case, the sign will ne positive

Elliot jumps up and down on a pogo stick. He weighs 600.N, and his pogo stick has a spring with spring constant 1100N/m. What is
tia_tia [17]

From conservation of energy, the height he will reach when he has gravitational potential energy 250J is 0.42 meters approximately

The given weight of Elliot is 600 N

From conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of Elliot must have been converted to elastic potential energy. Then, the elastic potential energy from the spring was later converted to maximum potential energy P.E of Elliot.

P.E = mgh

where mg = Weight = 600

To find the height Elliot will reach, substitute all necessary parameters into the equation above.

250 = 600h

Make h the subject of the formula

h = 250/600

h = 0.4167 meters

Therefore, the height he will reach when he has gravitational potential energy 250J is 0.42 meters approximately

A hiker begins a trip by first walking 25.0 km southeast from her car. She stops and sets up her tent for the night. On the seco
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

(a)

x_1=17.68km\\y_1=-17.68km\\x_2=20km\\y_2=34.64km

(b) r=41.32km

\alpha =24.23^o

Explanation:

Let us take the north direction to be the positive y-axis and the east to be positive x-axis.

First day:

25.0 km southeast, which implies 45^o south of east. The y-component will be negative and the x-component will be positive.

x_1=25cos45^o=17.68km

y_1=-25sin45^o=-17.68km

Second day:

She starts off at the stopping point of last day. This time, both the y- and x-components are positive.

x_2=40cos60^o=20km

y_2=40sin60^o=34.64km

Therefore, total displacements:

x=x_1+x_2=(17.68+20)km=37.68km

y=y_1+y_2=(-17.68+34.64)km=16.96km

Magnitude of displacements,

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=41.32km

Direction,

\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})=24.23^o

omeli [17]

Answer:

The maximum permissible propagation delay per flip flop stage is<u> 100 </u>n sec

Explanation:

1024 ripple counter has 10 J-K flip flops(210 = 1024).  

So the total delay will be 10×x where x is the delay of each J-K flip flops.

The period of the clock pulse is 1× 10⁻⁶ s.

Now

10x <= 10⁻⁶ s

x <= 100 ns

x= 100 ns for prpoer operation.

pulse train with a frequency of 1 MHz is counted using a modulo-1024 ripple-counter built with J-K flip flops. For proper operation of the counter, the maximum permissible propagation delay per flip flop stage is <u>100 </u>n sec.
