Answer:

The maximum height of the rock is 14.2 m

Explanation:

The equations that describe the height and velocity of the rock are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height of the object at time t

y0 = initial height

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² if upward is positive)

v = velocity of the object at time t

We know that at t = 3.40 s, the rock is in your hand again. Then, if we place the origin of the frame of reference at your hand, the position of the rock at 3.40 s is 0 m. Using the equation of the position, we can calculate the initial velocity that we will need to obtain the max-height.

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = v0 · 3.40 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (3.40 s)²

(1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (3.40 s)² ) / 3.40 s = v0

v0 = 16.7 m/s

At max-height, the velocity of the rock is 0. Then, using the equation of velocity we can calculate the time it takes the rock to reach the max-height. With that time, we can calculate the maximum height.

v = v0 + g · t      (at max-height, v = 0)

0 = 16.7 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

- 16.7 m/s /  - 9.8 m/s² = t

t = 1.70 s

Now, using this time in the equation of height:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 0 m + 16.7 m/s · 1.70 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.70 s)²

y = 14.2 m

The maximum height of the rock is 14.2 m

Which event demonstrates electromagnetic waves transferring energy?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Sun heating a car sitting in a parking lot

Explanation:

The sun heating a car sitting in a parking lot is an example of electromagnetic waves transferring energy.

  • Electromagnetic waves are produced from the vibration between electric and magnetic fields.
  • These waves can be propagated through vacuum with no particles inside of them.
  • The sun produces electromagnetic radiation through the process of nuclear fusion.
  • These radiations are used to warm the earth surface.
  • The sun heating a car sitting a parking lot is one vivid example.

A wind turbine works by slowing the air that passes its blades and converting much of the extracted kinetic energy to electric e
ddd [48]

Answer:

2649600 Joules

Explanation:

Efficiency = 40%

m = Mass of air = 92000 kg

v = Velocity of wind = 12 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 92000\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow K=6624000\ J

The kinetic energy of the wind is 6624000 Joules

The wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind

E=0.4\times K\\\Rightarrow E=0.4\times 6624000\\\Rightarrow E=2649600\ J

The energy extracted by the turbine every second is 2649600 Joules

Ratling [72]

Answer:

D) momentum of cannon + momentum of projectile= 0

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

In this case, the system cannon+projectile can be considered as isolated, because no external forces act on it (in fact, the surface is frictionless, so there is no friction acting on the cannon). Therefore, the total momentum of the two objects (cannon+projectile) must be equal before and after the firing:

p_i = p_f

But the initial momentum is zero, because at the beginning both the cannon and the projectile are at rest:

p_i = 0

So the final momentum, which is sum of the momentum of the cannon and of the projectile, must also be zero:

p_f = p_{cannon}+p_{projectile} =0
