Answer:

7.74 seconds

Explanation:

u = 25 m/s

h = - 100 m

Let it takes time t to hit the ground.

Use second equation of motion

h = ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

-100 = 25t-4.9t^{2}

4.9t^{2}-25t-100=0

t=\frac{25\pm \sqrt{625+4\times 4.9\times 100}}{2\times4.9}

t=\frac{25\pm 50.84}{9.8}

Take positive sign as time can never be negative.

t = 7.74 s

Thus, the package takes 7.74 seconds to reach the ground.

Write each force in component form:

<em>v </em>₁ : 50 N due east   →   (50 N) <em>i</em>

<em>v</em> ₂ : 80 N at N 45° E   →   (80 N) (cos(45°) <em>i</em> + sin(45°) <em>j</em> ) ≈ (56.5 N) (<em>i</em> + <em>j</em> )

The resultant force is the sum of these two vectors:

<em>r</em> = <em>v </em>₁ + <em>v</em> ₂ ≈ (106.5 N) <em>i</em> + (56.5 N) <em>j</em>

Its magnitude is

|| <em>r</em> || = √[(106.5 N)² + (56.5 N)²] ≈ 121 N

and has direction <em>θ</em> such that

tan(<em>θ</em>) = (56.5 N) / (106.5 N)   →   <em>θ</em> ≈ 28.0°

i.e. a direction of about E 28.0° N. (Just to clear up any confusion, I mean 28.0° north of east, or 28.0° relative to the positive <em>x</em>-axis.)

When the starter motor on a car is engaged, there is a 290 A current in the wires between the battery and the motor. Suppose the
Tema [17]

Answer:

33.6\times10^{-4}}\text{ m} = 3.36 mm

Explanation:

From Ohm's law,

V = IR (Voltage = Current * Resistance)

R = \dfrac{V}{I}

The geometric definition of resistance is

R = \rho\dfrac{l}{A}

where \rho is the resistivity of the material, l  and A are the length and cross-sectional area, respectively.

A = \rho\dfrac{l}{R}

A = \rho\dfrac{l\timesI}{V}

Since the wire is assumed to have a circular cross-section, its area is given by

A = \pi\dfrac{d^2}{4} where d is the diameter.

\pi\dfrac{d^2}{4} = \rho\dfrac{l\timesI}{V}

d = \sqrt{\dfrac{4\rho l I}{\pi\times V}}

Resistivity of copper = 1.68\times10^{-8}. With these and other given values,

d = \sqrt{\dfrac{4\times1.68\times10^{-8}\times1.5\times290}{3.14\times 0.55}}

d = \sqrt{1128.43\times10^{-8}}

d = 33.6\times10^{-4} \text{ m}

If the child pulls with a force of 20 N for 12.0 m , and the handle of the wagon is inclined at an angle of 25 ∘ above the horiz
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 217.52 N

Explanation: The applied force is 20 N, the distance covered is 12.0 m and the angle is 25° above the horizontal.

Hence the formulae that defines work done is given by

W = Force × distance

But since the force has been inclined at an angle θ above the horizontal, the horizontal component of force is neccesary to produce the required motion to make the child do work on the wagon.

Hence

Work done = (horizontal component of force) × distance

Work done = F cos θ × distance

Work done = 20 cos 25 × 12 = 217.52 N

Your GPS shows that your friend’s house is 10.0 km away. But there is a big hill between your houses and you don’t want to bike
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The value is c  = 8 \  km

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of friends house from your point is a =  10 \  km

The distance of your friends street from your street is b =  6 \  km \  in the \ direction \  towards \  the  \  north

The diagram illustrating this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the diagram we can apply by Pythagoras theorem as follows

a^2 =  b^2 +  c^2

=>     c  =  \sqrt{^2 -  b^2}

=>     c  =  \sqrt{ 10^2 -  6^2}

=>     c  = 8 \  km
