A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.45 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth?
dexar [7]

Answer:

1.08 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) reached = 1.45 m

Time of flight (T) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1.45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1.45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1.45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1.45/4.9)

t = 0.54 s

Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).

Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s

Time of flight (T) =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 0.54

T = 1.08 s

Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.

A square coil of wire with 15 turns and an area of 0.40 m2 is placed parallel to a magnetic field of 0.75 T. The coil is flipped
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The magnitude of the average induced emf is 90V

Explanation:

Given;

area of the square coil, A = 0.4 m²

number of turns, N = 15 turns

magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 0.75 T

time of change of magnetic field, t = 0.05 s

The magnitude of the average induced emf is given by;

E = -NAB/t

E = -(15 x 0.4 x 0.75) / 0.05

E = -90 V

|E| = 90 V

Therefore, the magnitude of the average induced emf is 90V

It is easier to drive In sharp nails in a piece of wood than the blunt ones why?
murzikaleks [220]

The sharp nail has a less surface area in comparison to a blunt nail and pressure is inversely proportional to area so it is easier to Hamer a sharp  nail into a wood rather than having a blunt nail in wood

What is the relationship between the applied force of a hanging mass on a spring and the spring force of the spring?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

elastic force and weight are related to the acceleration of the System.

Explanation:

The relationship between these two forces can be found with Newton's second law.

        F_{e} - W = m a

        K x - m g = m a

We see that elastic force and weight are related to the acceleration of the System.

If a harmonic movement is desired, an extra force that increases the elastic force is applied, but to begin the movement this force is eliminated, in general , if the relationship between this external and elastic force is desired, the only requirement is that it be small for harmonic movement to occur
