Formula to find gravitational potential energy:
mgh
m: mass
g: gravitational acceleration
h: height (relative to reference level)

so the P.E. at 1.0.m is (5x9.8x1)= 49J
P.E. at 1.5m is (5x9.8x1.5) =73.5J
P.E. at 2.0m is (5x9.8x2)=98J

A possible means for making an airplane invisible to radar is to coat the plane with an antireflective polymer. If radar waves h
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The thickness is  t =  0.5615 \ cm    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of the of the rader waves is  \lambda =  2.92 \ cm

     The index of refraction of the polymer is  n  = 1.30

The thickness is mathematically represented as

             t =  \frac{\lambda }{4 n }

Substituting values

            t =  \frac{2.92}{4 *  1.30 }

          t =  0.5615 \ cm

A plane is flying due west at 34 m/s. It encounters a wind blowing at 19 m/s south. Find the resultant veloci
Drupady [299]

Answer:

<em>The resultant velocity has a magnitude of 38.95 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Vector Addition</u>

Given two vectors defined as:

\vec v_1=(x_1,y_1)

\vec v_2=(x_2,y_2)

The sum of the vectors is:

\vec v=(x_1+x_2,y_1+y_2)

The magnitude of a vector can be calculated by

d=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

Where x and y are the rectangular components of the vector.

We have a plane flying due west at 34 m/s. Its velocity vector is:

\vec v_1=(-34,0)

The wind blows at 19 m/s south, thus:

\vec v_2=(0,-19)

The sum of both velocities gives the resultant velocity:

\vec v =(-34,-19)

The magnitude of this velocity is:

d=\sqrt{(-34)^2+(-19)^2}

d=\sqrt{1156+361}=\sqrt{1517}

d = 38.95 m/s

The resultant velocity has a magnitude of 38.95 m/s

In a parallel circuit with 3 resistors, the output voltage at the power supply is recorded to be 5 A.   The current flowing thro
Bogdan [553]
In a parallel circuit, the total power supply current is the sum of the
currents through all of the individual branches.

The output current (not the voltage) of the power supply is 5 A.
So the individual currents in the circuit branches is 5 A.

The current through the first 2 resistors is (1 + 0.5) = 1.5 A.

So the current through the 3rd resistor is (5 - 1.5) = <u>3.5 A</u>.

Gravity accelerates any object falling at 9.8 m/s2. What is the force that will be applied to the ground if an 88 kg box falls f
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The force is of the weight <u>862,4 Newtons.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

We have the formula:

w = m * g

Data:

w = weight = ¿?

m = mass = 88 kg

g = gravity = 9,8 m/s

Replacing according formula:

w = 88 kg * 9,8 m/s

Resolving:

w = 862,4 N

What is the magnitude of your displacement when you follow directions that tell you to walk 225 m in one direction, make a 90° t
Gekata [30.6K]

Start by facing East. Your first displacement is the vector

<em>d</em>₁ = (225 m) <em>i</em>

Turning 90º to the left makes you face North, and walking 350 m in this direction gives the second displacement,

<em>d</em>₂ = (350 m) <em>j</em>

Turning 30º to the right would have you making an angle of 60º North of East, so that walking 125 m gives the third displacement,

<em>d</em>₃ = (125 m) (cos(60º) <em>i</em> + sin(60º) <em>j</em> )

<em>d</em>₃ ≈ (62.5 m) <em>i</em> + (108.25 m) <em>j</em>

The net displacement is

<em>d</em> = <em>d</em>₁ + <em>d</em>₂ + <em>d</em>₃

<em>d</em> ≈ (287.5 m) <em>i</em> + (458.25 m) <em>j</em>

and its magnitude is

|| <em>d</em> || = √[ (287.5 m)² + (458.25 m)² ] ≈ 540.973 m ≈ 541 m
