Answer: (a) t = 5.44 sec

(b) vf = 53.31 m/s

Explanation: from the question, given data

the Height of the tower, h = 145m

from question

(a)

the initial velocity, v₁ = 0 m/s

s = v₁t + 1/2 gt²

-145 m = 0(t) + 1/2 (-9.8t²)

t² = 145/4.9

t² = 29.59

t = 5.44 sec

(b)

the speed of the sphere at the bottom of the tower is

vf² = vi² +2as

vf² = 0 + 2(-9.8 × -145)

vf² = 2842

vf = 53.31 m/s

(c)

when caught, the sphere experiences a deceleration of;

a = -29.0g

the time it would take to decelerate becomes;

vf = vi + at

0 = (53.31) + (-29 ×9.8)t

where t = 53.31 / 284.2

t = 0.1876 sec

∴ the distance travelled during the deceleration becomes;

vf² = vi² + 2as

s = (vf² - vi²) / 2a

s = (0 - 53.31²) / 2×-29×9.8

s = -2841.9561 / -568.4

s = 4.99 ≈ 5.0m

i hope this helps, cheers

three girls were pushing the same car with a net force of 450 N [N48°E]. Two of the girls were pushing with forces of 310 N [N25

ElenaW [278]

The net force is the vector

∑ F = (450 N) (cos(42°) i + sin(42°) j)

and two of the forces provided by the girls are

F₁ = (310 N) (cos(115°) i + sin(115°) j)

F₂ = (250 N) (cos(285°) i + sin(285°) j)

Then the force provided by the third girl is the vector

F₃ = ∑ F - F₁ - F₂

F₃ = ((450 N) cos(42°) - (310 N) cos(115°) - (250 N) cos(285°)) i

… … … + ((450 N) sin(42°) - (310 N) sin(115°) - (250 N) sin(285°)) j

F₃ ≈ (400.722 N) i + (261.635 N) j

So, the third girl provided a force of magnitude

||F₃|| = √((400.722 N)² + (261.635 N)²) ≈ 478.572 N ≈ 480 N

pointing in a direction

arctan((261.635 N)/(400.722 N)) ≈ 33.1409° ≈ 33°

relative to East which refers to 0°; that is, 33° N of E or E33°N. Since the other forces are given relative to North or South, we can write this direction as N57°E.

So, the third girl pushed with force 480 N [N57°E].

What does a “fixed amount of fuel” mean?

klemol [59]

Answer:

A "fixed price" energy tariff means that your unit price for gas and electricity will not change for the duration of the plan. A variable rate means your energy price can vary during the plan. If you have a fixed price plan and your supplier announces a price rise, your rates will not change.

What is energy? Where does it come from? What does it do? Explain in 5 or more sentences please! :)

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Forms of energy could be kinetic energy or potential energy. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun. Energy is used to produce work. Electrical energy for lighting purposes and heating in homes and factories.

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work and can be in various forms such as kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal, chemical, electrical energy etc.

Energy origination depends on the type of energy form in discussion. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun or an iron box, chemical energy originates from the interaction of atoms and molecules and electrical energy can be initiated by movements of electrons.

Energy is used to produce work. Different forms of energy can do different tasks such as;

Heat energy for heating water

Electrical energy for lighting purposes

Geothermal energy for producing heat and electricity

Nuclear energy for production of nuclear power

Chemical energy for facilitating chemical reactions

Calculate the equivalent resistance for both circuits. Series circuit: 2 Ω and 4 Ω Parallel circuit: 2 Ω and 4 Ω Which circuit h

goldenfox [79]

Equivalent resistance is also known as the overall resistance.

For resistors in a series circuit, the total resistance is computed using the formula:

$R_{T} = R_{1}+ R_{2}+ R_{3}... R_{n}$

In other words, you just add up the resistance of each resistor in the series circuit. In your case you only have two resistors. You have 2Ω and 4Ω. So all you need to do is add that up.

$R_{T} = R_{1}+ R_{2}$
$R_{T} = 2 + 4=6$

The total resistance of the series circuit is 6Ω

In a parallel circuit you get the total resistance using the formula:
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}...+\frac{1}{R_{n}}$

First you get the sum of all fractions and at the end take the reciprocal of the resulting fraction and divide. So let us take your problem into consideration where you have two resistors that have a resistance of 2Ω and 4Ω.

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{2}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{3}{4}$

Get the reciprocal of the resulting fraction 3/4 and then divide. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.

4/3 = 1. 33Ω

So if you compare the equivalent resistance of the two circuits, the series circuit has a higher equivalent resistance.

Part of one row of the periodic table is shown. Which element’s atoms have the greatest average number of neutrons?

Zanzabum

Number of neutrons of the elements can be calculated if the atomic number and mass number is known.

As, Number of neutrons= Mass number- Atomic number

For Tin(sn), the mass number is 119 and atomic number is 50, then

Number of neutrons= 119-50=69

For Antimony(sb), the mass number is 122 and the atomic number is 51, then

Number of neutrons=122-51=71

For Tellurium(te), the mass number is 128 and atomic number is 52,then

Number of neutrons=128-52=76

Fro Iodine(I), the mass number is 127 and the atomic number is 53, then

Number of neutrons=127-53=74

Since, the number of neutrons are large in Tellurium, therefore Tellurium have the greatest average number of neutrons.
