A worker on the roof of a house drops his hammer, which slides down the roof at a constant speed of 4 m/s. The roof makes an ang

le of 30 degree with the horizontal, and its lowest point is 10 m above the ground. What is the horizontal distance traveled by the hammer after it leaves the roof of the house and before it hits the ground? Use g 10 m/s2.

Answer:

4.25m

Explanation:

The horizontal and vertical component of the velocity as it leaves the roof is

v_v = vsin30^0 = 4*0.5 = 2 m/s

v_h = vcos30^0 = 4*0.866 = 3.64 m/s

Neglect air resistance, then gravitational acceleration g = 10m/s2 is the only thing that affect the vertical motion of the hammer. We can use the following equation of motion to solve for the time t of dropping

h = v_vt + gt^2/2

where h = 10m is the distance of dropping before the hammer reaches the ground

10 = 2t + 5t^2

5t^2 + 2t - 10 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{-2\pm \sqrt{(2)^2 - 4*(5)*(-10)}}{2*(5)}

t= \frac{-2\pm14.28}{10}

t = 1.23 or t = -1.63

Since t can only be positive we will pick t = 1.23

t is also the time that it takes to travel horizontally at the constant rate of 3.64 m/s

So the horizontal distance traveled by the hammer is

3.64*1.23 = 4.25 m

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ
liq [111]

Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.
