First, you will investigate purely vertical motion. The kinematics equation for vertical motion (ignoring air resistance) is giv

en by y(t)=y0+v0t−(1/2)gt2 , where y0=0 is the initial position, v0 is the initial speed, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Drag the cannon downwards so it is at ground level, or 0 m (which represents the initial height of the object), then fire the pumpkin straight upward (at an angle of 90∘) with an initial speed of 14 m/s . How long does it take for the pumpkin to hit the ground?

Answer: It takes 2.85 seconds.

Explanation: according to the question, the kinematics equation for vertical motion is

y(t) = y_{0} + v_{0} .t - \frac{1}{2} .gt^{2}

y₀ is the initial postion and equals 0 because it is fired at ground level;

v₀ is the initial speed and eqauls 14m/s;

g is gravity and it is 9.8m/s²;

y(t) is the final position and equals 0 because it is when the pumpkin hits the ground;

Rewriting the equation, we have:

0 + 14t - \frac{1}{2}.9.8.t^{2} = 0

14t - 4.9t² = 0

t(14 - 4.9t) = 0

For this equation to be zero,

t = 0 or

14 - 4.9t = 0

- 4.9t = - 14

t = \frac{14}{4.9}

t = 2.86

It takes 2.86 seconds for the pumpkin to hit the ground.

Find the ratio of the diameter of iron to copper wire, if they have the same resistance per unit length (as they might in househ
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The ratio of the diameter of iron to Cu is;

\frac{d{Fe}   }{ d{Cu}   } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}

Explanation:

R=(ρL)/A

  • R is resistance,
  • L is length,
  • A is area,
  • ρ is resistivity
  • d is diameter

from the question the two materials have the same resistance per unit length.

\frac{R}{L}= \frac{p}{A}

\frac{R}{L}   for iron = \frac{R}{L}  for copper

This means we can equate ρ/A for both materials.

\frac{p_{Fe} }{A_{Fe} } =\frac{p_{Cu} }{A_{Cu} }

re-arranging the equation we have,

\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }

A=\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}

\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{d^{2}{Fe}   }{ d^{2}{Cu}   }

\frac{d^{2}{Fe}   }{ d^{2}{Cu}   } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }

\frac{d{Fe}   }{ d{Cu}   } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}

supose you have two wires of equal length made from same material. how is it possible for the wires to have different resistance
Ivenika [448]
I'm not sure but I had this question on a benchmark I think its the density of the wire  you need to  find the density or the mass I'm not sure but i do remember this question

What is the slope of the line if the rise of a line on a distance versus-time graph is 900 meters and the run is 3 minutes?
Alexandra [31]
600/3 = 200
the slope is 200m/min
 
OR

600/ (3/60) =
600 x 60/3 =
600 x 20 = 12,000 meters per hour
