Answer:

Explanation:

Consider the initial position of the frog (20 m above ground) as the reference position. All measurements are positive measured upward.

Therefore,

u = 10 m/s, initial upward velocity.

H = - 20 m, position of the ground.

g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity.

Part (a)

When the frog reaches a maximum height of h from the reference position, its velocity is zero. Therefore

u² - 2gh = 0

h = u²/(2g) = 10²/(2*9.8) = 5.102 m

At maximum height, the frog will be 20 + 5.102 = 25.102 m above ground.

Answer: 25.1 m above ground

Part (b)

Let v = the velocity when the frog hits the ground. Then

v² = u² - 2gH

v² = 10² - 2*9.8*(-20) = 492

v = 22.18 m/s

Answer: The frog hits the ground with a velocity of 22.2 m/s

Which list of properties of alternation current is the most likely reason it was chosen over direct current to provide electrici
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only

- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward

There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:

- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.

- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin
Mashutka [201]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is 14,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x^{2}, where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.

Explanation:

We will calculate the work done as follows.

     W = \int_{0}^{0.54} F dx

         = \int_{0}^{0.54} (14,000 + 10,000x - 26,000x^{2}) dx

         = [14000x + 5000x^{2} - 8666.7x^{3}]^{0.54}_{0}

         = 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69

         = 7653.31 J

or,      = 7.65 kJ       (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Student c's belief is fulfilled only for the movement of the earth with respect to the sun. But it has no validity or does not exist when it is necessary to explain other physical phenomena with respect to other satellites. For example, how would you explain the phases of the moon, if the Earth is located in the center of the Galaxy?, another serious question regarding the observations made by scientists millions of years ago, where they observed that the distances of the Earth from other planets were changing, with respect to time. If the Earth was in the center, all the planets and the sun would revolve around it preserving a constant distance (radius), at all times.

Other phenomena to explain would be the seasons on Earth, these are due to the axis of inclination of the Earth and the rotation of it around the sun.
