Answer:

The final speed is <em>30.37 m/s</em> for the three directions.

Explanation:

Given the initial speed, v₀ = 14.7 m/s and the height of the building as 36.0 m (neglecting air resistance and height of slingshot), we apply the principle of Conversation of Mechanical Energy:

E = Kinetic Energy (k.E) + Potential Energy (P.E)

K.E = 0.5mv²

P.E = mgh

∴ <em>0.5mv₀² + mgh₀ = 0.5mv₁² + mgh₁</em>

Since the final height (h₁) is zero and <em>m</em> is a common term, then we can re-write the above equation as:

<em>0.5v₀² + gh₀ = 0.5v₁² + 0</em>

<em>0.5v₁² - 0.5v₀² = gh₀</em>

<em>0.5(v₁² - v₀²) = gh₀</em>

<em>v₁² = v₀² + 2gh₀</em>

Fitting in the given terms, we can calculate the final speed

v₁² = (14.7)² + (2)(9.81)(36.0)

   = 216.09 + 706.32 = 922.41

v₁ = √922.41 = 30.37 m/s.

The speed at which the pebble hits the ground remains the same because kinetic energy depends on the speed of the object and not the direction to which the object is thrown.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

<h2>6 s</h2>

Explanation:

The time taken by the cyclist can be found by using the formula

t  = \frac{d}{v}  \\

v is the velocity

d is the distance

From the question we have

t =  \frac{36}{6}  \\  = 6

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 s</h3>

Answer:

-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C

1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C

Explanation:

r = Radius

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given by

E=-\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{1610\times 0.1^2}{8.99\times 10^9}\\\Rightarrow q=-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

The charge is -1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

Q+q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}-q\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{120\times 0.35^2}{8.99\times 10^9}-(-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9})\\\Rightarrow Q=3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C

The charge is 3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C

The charge inside will have the polarity changed

q=+1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

Outside the charge will be

3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\\ =1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C
