Imagine a raindrop starting from rest in a cloud 2 km in the air. If it fell with no air friction at all, it would accelerate to

ward the ground with gravitational acceleration of 9.8m/s2. What would the speed of the drop be when it reached the ground? Convert your answer into miles per hour.
1) 212 mph
2) 433 mph
3) 774 mph
4) 72.5 mph

Answer:

2) 433 mph

Explanation:

The final velocity of the raindrop as it reaches the ground can be found by using the equation for a uniformly accelerated motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2ad

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the raindrop starts from rest)

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

d = 2 km = 2000 m is the distance covered

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2 +2gd}=\sqrt{0^2+2(9.8 m/s^2)(2000)}=198 m/s

And keeping in mind that

1 mile = 1609 metres

1 hour = 3600 s

The speed converted into miles per hour is

v=198 \frac{m}{s}\cdot \frac{3600 s/h}{1609 m/mi}=433 mph

The electric field in a region is uniform (constant in space) and given by E-( 148.0 1 -110.03)N/C. An additional charge 10.4 nC
enyata [817]

Answer:

The y-component of the electric force on this charge is F_y = -1.144\times 10^{-6}\ N.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Electric field in the region, \vec E = (148.0\ \hat i-110.0\ \hat j)\ N/C.
  • Charge placed into the region, q = 10.4\ nC = 10.4\times 10^{-9}\ C.

where, \hat i,\ \hat j are the unit vectors along the positive x and y axes respectively.

The electric field at a point is defined as the electrostatic force experienced per unit positive test charge, placed at that point, such that,

\vec E = \dfrac{\vec F}{q}\\\therefore \vec F = q\vec E\\=(10.4\times 10^{-9})\times (148.0\ \hat i-110.0\ \hat j)\\=(1.539\times 10^{-6}\ \hat i-1.144\times 10^{-6}\ \hat j)\ N.

Thus, the y-component of the electric force on this charge is F_y = -1.144\times 10^{-6}\ N.

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain why the needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north.
Alex17521 [72]
The needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north because of the magnetic poles of earth. the compass is essentially a magnet itself, so the southern pole of the compass is attracted to the northern pole of earth.

A golf ball is struck at 75 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees. What is the
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

v_x=37.50

Explanation:

The rectangular components of a vector \vec v having a magnitude v and angle θ are:

v_x=v\cos\theta

v_y=v\sin\theta

The golf ball has an initial speed of 75 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees.

The variables of the equations have the values:

v = 75 m/s

θ = 60°

Substituting into the formula:

v_x=75\cos 60^\circ

v_x=75\cdot 0.5

v_x=37.5~m/s

Without specifying units and with precision to the hundredths place:

\mathbf{v_x=37.50}
