Vikentia [17]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

 If we consider vertical velocity both have same vertical velocity of \sqrt{2gH}

  Resultant velocity when stone hits the ground is more for thrown horizontally.

<u>Explanation: </u>

We have equation of motion, v^2=u^2+2as, where u is the initial velocity, u is the final velocity, s is the displacement and a is the acceleration.

When rock is dropped:

    Initial velocity = 0 m/s , displacement = H and acceleration = g.

    v^2=0^2+2gH\\ \\ v=\sqrt{2gH}

 When rock is thrown horizontally:

    Considering vertical motion of rock

       Vertical initial velocity = 0 m/s ,Vertical displacement = H and vertical acceleration = g.

    v^2=0^2+2gH\\ \\ v=\sqrt{2gH}

 If we consider vertical velocity both have same vertical velocity of \sqrt{2gH}

 But stone thrown horizontally will have horizontal velocity also, so it has more velocity if we compare resultant velocity.

Life cycle of a medium mass star
miskamm [114]

Our sun is a medium mass star, so it wouldn't be too different from the sun's life cycle. It is born, lives for about 10 billion years and then dies. ... As a medium mass star nears the end of its life, it runs out of hydrogen which it has been fusing onto helium in its core for its whole life.

In which scenario does radiation occur? warming soup on a stove drying towels at the beach cooking eggs in boiling water warming
shepuryov [24]

Answer: drying towels at the beach.

Explanation:

Radiation simply has to do with the energy that is gotten from a particular source and then goes through some materials. It simply means the way energy is being transmitted as waves or heat through a certain medium.

From the options given, the scenario whereby a radiation takes place is when drying towels on the beach.

How fast (in rpm) must a centrifuge rotate if a particle 7.3 cm from the axis of rotation is to experience an acceleration of 1.
guajiro [1.7K]

The formula we use here is:

radial acceleration = ω^2 * R <span>

110,000 * 9.81 m/s^2 = ω^2 * 0.073 m 
<span>ω^2 = 110,000 * 9.81 / 0.073
ω = 3844.76 rad/s </span></span>

<span>and since: ω = 2pi*f  --> f = ω/(2pi)</span><span>
f = 3844.76 / (2pi) = 611.91 rps = 611.91 * 60 rpm 
<span>= 36,714.77 rpm </span></span>

Explain how a current is induced in the wire?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

If a coil of wire is placed in a changing magnetic field, a current will be induced in the wire. This current flows because something is producing an electric field that forces the charges around the wire. (It cannot be the magnetic force since the charges are not initially moving). ... that determines the induced current.
