Answer:

44.1 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t = 3 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (3 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (3 s)²

Δy = -44.1 m

The ball should be dropped from 44.1 meters.

A copper rod at 25°C is 2.5 m long. How long would it take a sound to move through the rod from one end to another? how would I

andrew-mc [135]

Length of the copper rod = 2.5 meters
Speed at which sound travels through copper = 3560 meter per second
Let us assume the time taken
by sound to cover the given distance = x seconds
We already know that
Speed = Distance/ Time
Then
Time = Distance/ Speed
x = 2.5/3560 seconds
= 0.0007 seconds.
This can ve done by hitting one end of the rod and then receiving the sound at the other end and using the stop clock to measure the time taken.

What is the speed of a bird of mass 8kg which has kinetic energy of 8836J?

Kay [80]

Answer:

For the bird moving in a straight line, the kinetic energy is one-half the product of the mass and the square of the speed: Ek=12mu2.

a golfer hits a golf ball with a velocity of 36.0 meters/second at an angle of 28.0. if the hang time of the golf ball is 33.4 s

Kobotan [32]

Solving this using the time, we know that range = horizontal velocity x time of flight

since there are no horizontal forces acting on the ball, there are no horizontal accelerations and the initial horizontal velocity of 36 cos 28 will be constant throughout. If we use the correct time of flight given the launch parameters, we have

range = 36 cos 28 x 3.44 s = 109.3 m

A low orbit satellite at 100 km altitude had a camera that resolved a car location to within 0.3 meter. Find the minimum diamete

NeX [460]

Answer:

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

Explanation:

y = Resolve distance = 0.3 m

h = Height of satellite = 100 km

λ = Wavelength = 550 nm

Angular resolution

$tan\theta\approx \theta =\frac{y}{h}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{0.3}{100\times 10^3}=3\times 10^{-6}$

From Rayleigh criteria

$sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{550\times 10^{-9}}{sin3\times 10^{-6}}=0.2236\ m=22.4\ cm$
