Answer:

v = 46.99 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground, is given by the following formula:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}           (1)

vx: horizontal component of the velocity

vy: vertical component of the velocity

The vertical component vy is calculated by using the following formula:

v_y^2=v_{oy}^2+2gh   (2)

vy: final velocity

voy: initial vertilal velocity = 0m/s  (because it is a semi parabolic motion)

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

h: height = 1.60m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

v_y=2(9.8m/s^2)(1.60m)=31.36\frac{m}{s}

vx is calculated by using the information about the horizontal range of the ball:

R=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}    (3)

R: horizontal range of the ball = 20.0 m

You solve the previous equation for vo, the initial horizontal velocity:

v_o=R\sqrt{\frac{g}{2h}}=(20.0m)\sqrt{\frac{9.8m/s^2}{2(1.60m)}}\\\\v_o=35\frac{m}{s}

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant in the complete trajectory, hence, you have that

vx = vo = 35 m/s

Finally, you replace the values of vx and vy in the equation (1):

v=\sqrt{(35m/s)^2+(31.36m/s)^2}=46.99\frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground is 46.99 m/s

Does passing a magnet through a coil of wire break off it’s electric current
hichkok12 [17]
A magnetic field is actually generated by a moving current (or moving electric charge specifically). The magnetic field generated by a moving current can be found by using the right hand rule, point your right thumb in the direction of current flow, then the wrap of your fingers will tell you what direction the magnetic field is. In the case of current traveling up a wire, the magnetic field generated will encircle the wire. Similarly electromagnets work by having a wire coil, and causing current to spin in a circle, generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow (again right hand rule).

So if you were to take a permenant magnet and cut a hole in it then string a straight wire through it... my guess is nothing too interesting would happen. The two different magnetic fields might ineteract in a peculiar way, but nothing too fascinating, perhaps if you give me more context as to what you might think would happen or what made you come up with this question I could help.

Two coils of wire are placed close together. Initially, a current of 3.04 A exists in one of the coils, but there is no current
Alchen [17]

Answer:

M=0.0247H

Explanation:

Given data

V_{voltage}=4.29V\\I_{current}=3.04A\\t_{time}=1.75*10^{-2}s

To find

Mutual inductance of the two-coil system

Solution

The mutual inductance given as:

M= (-VΔt)/ΔI

Substitute the given values

So

M=-\frac{4.29V*1.75*10^{-2}s}{(0-3.04A)}\\ M=0.0247H

What material or device prevents the conducting of electricity?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

An insulator. You can see ceramic insulators on telephone poles and power poles if you look carefully. If you live in a city, somewhere in that city is a power station. The insulators are huge. They have to be. The currents are very large in many cases.
