A worker on the roof of a house drops his 0.46 kg hammer, which slides down the roof at constant speed of 9.88 m/s. The roof mak

es an angle of 27 ◦ with the horizontal, and its lowest point is 17.1 m from the ground. what is the the horizontal distance traveled by the hammer between the time is leaves the roof of the house and the time it hits the ground?

Answer:

The horizontal distance travelled in that time lapse is 12.94 m

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we'll need:

  1. The horizontal speed
  2. the time the hammer takes to fall from the roof to the ground

At the lowest point of the roof, the hammer has a 9.88 m/s speed that makes an angle of 27° with the horizontal, so we can calculate the horizontal and vertical speed with trigonometry. If we take right as x positive and down as y positive we get

v_{x}=v*cos(27)=9.88 m/s *cos(27)=8.80 m/s \\v_{y}=v*sen(27)=9.88 m/s *sen(27)=4.49 m/s

Now, we make two movement equation as we have a URM (no acceleration) in x and an ARM (gravity as acceleration) in y. We will wisely pick the lowest point of the roof as the origin of coordinates

x(t)=8.8 m/s *t

y(t)=4.49m/s*t+\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}

Now we calculate the time the hammer takes to get to the floor

17.1m=4.49m/s*t+\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}\\t=1.47s or t=-2.38s

Now, we keep the positive time result and calculate the horizontal distance travelled

x(1.47s)=8.8m/s*1.47s=12.94m

A parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.190 m square, spaced 0.770 cm apart. It is connected to a 120 V battery
Naddik [55]

Answer:

aaksj

Explanation:

a) the capacitance is given of a plate capacitor is given by:

C = \epsilon_0*(A/d)

Where \epsilon_0 is a constant that represents the insulator between the plates (in this case air, \epsilon_0 = 8.84*10^(-12) F/m), A is the plate's area and d is the distance between the plates. So we have:

The plates are squares so their area is given by:

A = L^2 = 0.19^2 = 0.0361 m^2

C = 8.84*10^(-12)*(0.0361/0.0077) = 8.84*10^(-12) * 4.6883 = 41.444*10^(-12) F

b) The charge on the plates is given by the product of the capacitance by the voltage applied to it:

Q = C*V = 41.444*10^(-12)*120 = 4973.361 * 10^(-12) C = 4.973 * 10^(-9) C

c) The electric field on a capacitor is given by:

E = Q/(A*\epsilon_0) = [4.973*10^(-9)]/[0.0361*8.84*10^(-12)]

E = [4.973*10^(-9)]/[0.3191*10^(-12)] = 15.58*10^(3) V/m

d) The energy stored on the capacitor is given by:

W = 0.5*(C*V^2) = 0.5*[41.444*10^(-12) * (120)^2] = 298396.8*10^(-12) = 0.298 * 10 ^6 J

A boat travels at 30 mph for a huge, solid cliff that is about 3,000 meters away. When the horn on the boat makes a toot, you ca
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased

Explanation:

Given

speed of boat =30\ mph

cliff is 3000\ m away

when boat is still , suppose t is the time taken by the echo to reach observer on the boat

But as soon as boat starts moving  the distance between cliff and boat decreasing and time for echo to reach observer also decreases

and we know time \propto \frac{1}{frequency}

therefore frequency of the echo slightly decreased.
