A battleship simultaneously fires two shells toward two identical enemy ships. One shell hits ship A, which is close by, and the

other hits ship B, which is farther away. The two shells are fired at the same speed. Assume that air resistance is negligible and that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is g. What shape is the trajectory (graph of y vs. x) of the shells?a. straight lineb. parabolac. hyperbolad. The shape cannot be determined.

Answer:

Parabola.

Explanation:

No matter how far away are the enemy ships, if they are identical or not, or how much is the initial velocity, if the shells are subject to the force of gravity then the shape of their trajectories will follow the same form as with everything else: a parabola.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is constant (c) and in a material medium it is

          v = d / t

The refractive index of a material is defined by

         n = c / v

         

Let's look for the speed of light in the material, in general the length that light travels is known, this value is high, x = 1, when we place a block on the road, a small amount is lengthened by the length of the block, which in general is despised

These measurements are made on a digital oscilloscope that allows to stop the signals and measure their differences, that is, the zero is taken when the first ray arrives and the time for the second ray is measured,

         

         v = d / t

         v = 1 / 6.25 10⁻⁹

         v = 1.6 10⁸ m / s

we calculate the refractive index

        n = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁸

        n = 1,875

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at
jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given:  u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!! What displacement did the object undergo in the time interval between t= 2.0s and t=8.0s?
Katyanochek1 [597]
Displacement s = (u+v)*t/2 (t refers to delta time)
= (0.45 + 2.7)*6/2
= 3.15*3
= 9.45 m

Quick Quiz 40.2 While standing outdoors one evening, you are exposed to the following four types of electromagnetic radiation: y
Firlakuza [10]

The order of decreasing photon energy is FM radio, AM radio, yellow light, and microwaves.

Electromagnetic radiation: The electromagnetic field's waves, which are conveying electromagnetic radiant energy through space, are what make up electromagnetic radiation. It consists of X-rays, gamma rays, microwaves, infrared, light, and radio waves. These waves are all a component of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Microwave radiation has wavelengths between one meter and one millimeter, which correspond to frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz, respectively.

Radio waves: The electromagnetic spectrum's longest wavelengths, which are found in radio waves, are normally found at frequencies of 300 gigahertz and below.

The radio waves have the highest photon energy and the lowest is microwaves.

So, the highest to lowest order is FM radio, AM radio, yellow light and microwaves.

Three capacitors having capacitances of 8.40, 8.40, and 4.20 μFμF, respectively, are connected in series across a 36.0-V potenti
son4ous [18]

Answer:

a)Q=71.4 μ C

b)ΔV' = 10.2 V

Explanation:

Given that

C ₁= 8.7 μF

C₂ = 8.2 μF

C₃ = 4.1 μF

The potential difference of the battery, ΔV= 34 V

When connected in series

1/C = 1/C ₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

1/ C= 1/8.4 +1 / 8.4 + 1/4.2

C=2.1 μF

As we know that when capacitor are connected in series then they have same charge,Q

Q= C ΔV

Q= 2.1 x 34 μ C

Q=71.4 μ C

b)

As we know that when capacitor are connected in parallel then they have same voltage difference.

Q'= C' ΔV'

C'= C ₁+C₂+C₃        (For parallel connection)

C'= 8.4 + 8.4 + 4.2 μF

C'=21 μF

Q'= C' ΔV'

Q'=3 Q

3 x 71.4= 21 ΔV'

ΔV' = 10.2 V
