Answer:

23.52 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time taken (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.4 s

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

Initial velocity (u) =..?

At the maximum height, the final velocity (v) is zero. Thus, we can obtain how fast the rock (i.e initial velocity)

was thrown as follow:

v = u – gt (since the rock is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.4)

0 = u – 23.52

Collect like terms

0 + 23.52 = u

u = 23.52 m/s

Therefore, the rock was thrown at a velocity of 23.52 m/s.

A thin coil has 17 rectangular turns of wire. When a current of 4 A runs through the coil, there is a total flux of 5 ✕ 10−3 T ·

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Inductance, L = 0.0212 Henries

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 17

Current through the coil, I = 4 A

The total flux enclosed by the one turn of the coil, $\phi=5\times 10^{-3}\ Tm^2$

The relation between the self inductance and the magnetic flux is given by :

$L=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}$

$L=\dfrac{17\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{4}$

L = 0.0212 Henries

So, the inductance of the coil is 0.0212 Henries. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which row shows what happens to the temperature of a solid as it melts and what happens to the temperature when

frez [133]

When ice melts, its temperature doesn't change ... ice at 32 degrees becomes water at 32 degrees.

When water boils, its temperature doesn't change ... water at 212 degrees becomes steam at 212 degrees.

The row that says both of these is row-D .

14. The design for a rotating spacecraft below consists of two rings. The outer ring with a radius of 30 m holds the living quar

Zolol [24]

Answer:

$T= 11.0003$ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The outer ring with a radius of 30 m

inner Gravity Approximately 9.80 m/s'

Outer Gravity Approximately 5.35 m/s.

Generally the equation for centripetal force is given mathematically as

Centripetal acceleration enables Rotation therefore?

$\omega ^2 r =Angular\ acc$

Considering the outer ring,

$\omega ^2 r = 9.8$

$\omega ^2= \frac{9.8}{30}$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{30}}$

$\omega= 0.571 rad/s$

Therefore solving for Period T

Generally the equation for solving Period T is mathematically given as

$T= \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$

$T= \frac{2\pi}{0.571 rad/s}$

$T= 11.0003$ s
