The correct answer would be 1.7 m/s:

Start with what you know. In the y-direction, we know the jumper must fall 15 meters and starts with 0 velocity in the y direction. You can also assume that the acceleration of gravity is pulling down on the jumper at 9.8 m/s. Once you have these three you can plug it into kinematic a equation to find time

x=Vot+1/2at^2
15=(0)t+1/2(9.8)(t)^2
t=1.75

You get time=1.75 seconds. Since this is a kinematics problem, both the x and y direction have the same amount of time. You can then see that the x displacement is 3 to avoid the rocks, and acceleration is 0 in the x direction because no force is speeding it up. Therefore you can use the same equation to find initial velocity and final velocity, which are gonna be the same because we have 0 acceleration:

X=Vot+1/2at^2
3=Vi(1.75)+1/2(0)(1.75)^
Vi=1.7

1.7 is your answer

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

69×10⁻³ m

Explanation:

The linear thermal expansion coefficient for water is α = 69×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹.

Thermal expansion equation:

α ΔT = ΔL / L

Given ΔT = 1.00ºC = 1.00 K and L = 1.00 km = 1.00×10³ m:

(69×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹) (1.00 K) = ΔL / (1.00×10³ m)

ΔL = 0.069 m

ΔL = 69×10⁻³ m

mart [117]

Answer:

The initial arrow's velocity is 40,9 m/s at 11.9° from the horizontal

Explanation:

<em>In order to find the inital velocity we need to determine its components and the angle that the arrow is launched at.</em>

<em>For horizontal component, we will have:</em>

<em>ν cos(θ)t = x ⇒ cos(θ) =  x/νt</em>

<em>For vertical component we will have:</em>

<em>h= v sin(θ)t ₋ gt²÷ 2 ⇒ sin (θ) = h + gt²÷2/νt</em>

<em>From the two equations we got, after noting that the vertical displacement is 3m, we can calculate </em>

<em>tan(θ) = h +gt²÷2/νt/ x÷νt = h+ gt²÷2/x = 3+ 9.8.0.5²÷2/20 = 0.21125</em>

<em>Now we can calculate θ = tan⁻¹(0.21125) ≈ 11.9°</em>

<em>Now that we know the angle we can subtitute at any of the expressions for the two components of the velocity . Let's do this subsitution at the horizontal component:</em>

<em>ν cos(θ)t= x =ν = x/tcos(θ)= 20/ 0.5cos(11.9) ≈ 40.9 m/s.</em>

A person is placed in a large, hollow, metallic sphere that is insulated from ground. (a) If a large charge is placed on the sph
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is given that the sphere is insulated from ground and a large charge is placed on the sphere. The charge on the hollow sphere will always remain on the outer surface of the sphere and there will be no charge on the inner surface of the sphere.

If a person touches the inner surface of the sphere then he will not be harmed as there is no charge on the inner surface of the sphere.

If a person carries the charge of the opposite sign of the same magnitude then the sphere and person get neutralized upon touching the sphere.

If a person does not touches the sphere then the charge on the outer surface will be zero and there will be a positive charge on the inner surface of the sphere
