During World War I, the Germans had a gun called Big Bertha that was used to shell Paris. The shell had an initial speed of 1.4

km/s at an initial inclination of 65.8 ◦ to the horizontal. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How far away did the shell hit?

Answer:

The shell hit at a horizontal distance 149.41 km

Explanation:

The shell had an initial speed of 1.4 km/s

Initial speed = 1400 m/s

Inclination = 65.8° to the horizontal

First let us find the time of travel

Consider the vertical motion,

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 1400 sin 65.8 = 1276.97 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = 0 m

Substituting

                 s = ut + 0.5 at²          

                 0 = 1276.97 x t + 0.5 x  (-9.81) xt²

                  t = 260.34 s

Now let us find the horizontal displacement,

Consider the horizontal motion,

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 1400 cos 65.8 = 573.89 m/s

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Time, t = 260.34 s

Substituting

                 s = ut + 0.5 at²          

                 s = 573.89 x 260.34 + 0.5 x  0 x 260.34²

                  s = 149407.11 m = 149.41 km

The shell hit at a horizontal distance 149.41 km

A sphere of radius r = 5cm carries a uniform volume charge density rho = 400 nC/m^3. Q. What is the total charge Q of the sphere
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The total charge Q of the sphere is 2.094\times10^{-10}\ C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5 cm

Charge density J= 400\ nC/m^3

We need to calculate the total charge Q of the sphere

Using formula of charge

q=\rho V

Where, \rho = charge density

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

q=\rho\times(\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3)

Put the value into the formula

q=\dfrac{4}{3}\times\pi\times400\times10^{-9}\times(5\times10^{-2})^3

q=2.094\times10^{-10}\ C

Hence, The total charge Q of the sphere is 2.094\times10^{-10}\ C.

Answer:

Frequency = 1,550Hz

Explanation:

To solve this we can use the equation: f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

(frequency = velocity/wavelength).

We are given the information that the wavelength is 22cm and the speed is 340m/s. The first step is to make sure everything is in the correct units (SI units), and to convert them if needed. The SI Units for velocity and wavelength are m/s and m respectively. This means we need to convert 22cm into meters, which we can do by dividing by 100, (as there are 100cm in a meter). 22/100 = 0.22m

Now we can substitute these values into the formula and calculate to solve:

f=\frac{340}{0.22} \\\\f=1545.454...

Simplify to 3 significant figures:

f = 1,550Hz

(Which I believe is just below a G6 if you were interested)

Hope this helped!

A typical student listening attentively to a physics lecture has a heat output of 100 w . how much heat energy does a class of 1
nexus9112 [7]

Since each student emits 100 W, so 170 students will emit:

total heat = 100 W * 170 = 17,000 W

 

Convert minutes to seconds:

time = 50 min * (60 s / min) = 3000 s

 

The energy is therefore:

E = 17,000 W * 3000 s

<span>E = 51 x 10^6 J = 51 MJ</span>
