Answer:

Igneous rock , formed by the cooling of magma (molten rock) inside the Earth or on the surface. Sedimentary rocks, formed from the products of weathering by cementation or precipitation on the Earth's surface. Metamorphic rocks, formed by temperature and pressure changes inside the Earth.

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. The astronaut is 6 ft, 6 in. tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is

KatRina [158]

Answer: 89.803 ft

Explanation:

The complete question is written below:

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. The astronaut is 6ft, 6 in. tall and the initial velocity of the ball is 30 ft per second. The height s of the ball in feet is given by the equation,s=-2.7t^2+30t+6.5, where t is the number of seconds after the ball is thrown.

The ball will never reach a height of 100ft. How can this be determined algebraically?

We have the following equation that expresses the height $s$ as a function of time:

$s=-2.7t^{2}+30t+6.5$ (1)

Now, if we wan to find the maximum height the baseball reaches and prove it is less than 100 ft, we firstly have to find the time $t_{total}$ the whole parabolic movement lasts and then find $t_{smax}=\frac{t_{total}}{2}$ which is the time it takes the baseball to reach its maximum height.

So, if we want to calculate $t_{total}$ , this is fulfilled when $s=0$ , when the baseball hits the ground:

$0=-2.7t^{2}+30t+6.5$ (2)

This is a quadratic equation of the form $0=at^{2}+bt+c$ , and we have to use the quadratic formula if we want to find $t_{total}$ :

$t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (3)

Where $a=-2.7$ , $b=30$ , $c=6.5$

Substituting the known values and choosing the positive result of the equation:

$t_{total}=11.323 s$ (4)

Then we can calculate $t_{smax}$ :

$t_{smax}=\frac{t_{total}}{2}$ (5)

$t_{smax}=\frac{11.323 s}{2}$

$t_{smax}=5.661 s$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (1):

$s=-2.7(5.661 s)^{2}+30(5.661 s)+6.5$ (7)

$s=89.803 ft$ (8) This is the maximum height the baseball reaches, as we can see it is less than 100 ft

A particle with charge − 2.74 × 10 − 6 C −2.74×10−6 C is released at rest in a region of constant, uniform electric field. Assum

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

241.7 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge of particle= $q=-2.74\times 10^{-6} C$

Kinetic energy of particle= $K_E=6.65\times 10^{-10} J$

Initial time= $t_1=6.36 s$

Final potential difference= $V_2=0.351 V$

We have to find the time t after that the particle is released and traveled through a potential difference 0.351 V.

We know that

$qV=K.E$

Using the formula

$2.74\times 10^{-6}V_1=6.65\times 10^{-10} J$

$V_1=\frac{6.65\times 10^{-10}}{2.74\times 10^{-6}}=2.43\times 10^{-4} V$

Initial voltage= $V_1=2.43\times 10^{-4} V$

$\frac{\initial\;voltage}{final\;voltage}=(\frac{initial\;time}{final\;time})^2$

Using the formula

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=(\frac{6.36}{t})^2$

$\frac{2.43\times 10^{-4}}{0.351}=\frac{(6.36)^2}{t^2}$

$t^2=\frac{(6.36)^2\times 0.351}{2.43\times 10^{-4}}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{(6.36)^2\times 0.351}{2.43\times 10^{-4}}}$

$t=241.7 s$

Hence, after 241.7 s the particle is released has it traveled through a potential difference of 0.351 V.

Can someone please help!!

Answer:

Weight needed to balance the bar is $8.5N$

Explanation:

Given the weight of the bar is $8N$

The length of the bar is $5m$

The weight of the bar will be uniformly distributed over the entire span. We will consider this as a point load acting in the middle of span length, which is at a distance of $2.5m$ from both ends.

Now applying momentum equation about balanced load we get, (see attachment)

$\sum m_i=0\\2(m)+8(1)-8(0.5)-7(3)=0\\2m+8-4-21=0\\2m-17=0\\2m=17\\m=\frac{17}{2}=8.5\\So,\ m=8.5N$
