Answer:

55 mA

Explanation:

Ohm's law states:

V = IR

where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.

220 V = I (4000 Ω)

I = 0.055 A

I = 55 mA

Answer:

Approximately $4.2\; {\rm s}$ (assuming that the projectile was launched at angle of $35^{\circ}$ above the horizon.)

Explanation:

Initial vertical component of velocity:

$\begin{aligned}v_{y} &= v\, \sin(35^{\circ}) \\ &= (36\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})\, (\sin(35^{\circ})) \\ &\approx 20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

The question assumed that there is no drag on this projectile. Additionally, the altitude of this projectile just before landing $y_{1}$ is the same as the altitude $y_{0}$ at which this projectile was launched: $y_{0} = y_{1}$ .

Hence, the initial vertical velocity of this projectile would be the exact opposite of the vertical velocity of this projectile right before landing. Since the initial vertical velocity is $20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ (upwards,) the vertical velocity right before landing would be $(-20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})$ (downwards.) The change in vertical velocity is:

$\begin{aligned}\Delta v_{y} &= (-20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - (20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ &= -41.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

Since there is no drag on this projectile, the vertical acceleration of this projectile would be $g$ . In other words, $a = g = -9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ .

Hence, the time it takes to achieve a (vertical) velocity change of $\Delta v_{y}$ would be:

$\begin{aligned} t &= \frac{\Delta v_{y}}{a_{y}} \\ &= \frac{-41.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}}{-9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}} \\ &\approx 4.2\; {\rm s} \end{aligned}$ .
