A car travels due east with a speed of 52.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth

. The traces of the rain on the side windows of the car make an angle of 66.0° with the vertical. Find the velocity of the rain with respect to the following reference frames. (Enter the magnitude of the velocity.)
(a) the car
m/s
(b) the Earth
m/s

Answer:

a) v = 6.43 m/s

b) v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of car = 56 km/h

56 km/h = 14.4 m/s

Angle rain makes on the glass to the vertical = 66°

Thus knowing that the opposite side of the angle is the distance moved by the car, and the adjacent side is the distance traveled by the rain in the same time

both of which are directly proportional to their velocities

Then

tan(66°) = 14.44m/s ÷ x

or x = 14.44/tan(66°)

Which is the vertical raindrop velocity of the relative to earth

v = 6.43 m/s vertically towards earth

For v relative to the car is we have vector sum of both velocities

v = √(14.44^2 + 6.43^2) = 15.8 m/s which is the velocity relative to car

= 15.8 m/s

If the electron is initially in the ground level, E1=0.625E[infinity]E1=0.625E[infinity], and absorbs a photon, what maximum wav

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

λ = 3.1824 10-25 m

Explanation:

To release the electron from the power well the absorbed photon electro must be greater than or equal to the energy of the electron in the power well

The photon energy is E_photon = 0.625 J

The speed of light is

c = λ f

Let's use Planck's equation

E = h f

We substitute

E = h c / λ

λ = h c / E

λ = 6.63 10-34 3 108 / 0.625

λ = 3.1824 10-25 m

How many newtons of force are represented by the following amount: 3 kg·m/sec^2?

HACTEHA [7]

1 newton is the force that accelerates
1 kilogram of mass at the rate of 1 m/s² .

So in SI base units, 1 newton = 1 kg-m/s² .

and 3 kg-m/s² = 3 newtons .

A satellite orbiting Earth at a velocity of 3700 m/s collides with a piece of

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: B

Explanation:

You can use the conservation of momentum, under the assumption that no mass was lost when the collision occurred. The initial momentum of the system must equal the final momentum of the system. Our system is the region including, and only including, the satellite and the space debris. Classical momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity:

$p_i=p_f$

$m_1v_1_i+m_2v_2_i=m_1v_1_f+m_2v_2_f$

Due to mass 1 equaling mass 2, we can factor these quantities out:

$m(v_1_i+v_2_i)=m(v_1_f+v_2_f)$

Cancel the mass term on both sides to get:

$v_1_i+v_2_i=v_1_f+v_2_f$

We have the initial and final velocities for everything besides the final velocity of the satellite. Plug everything in:

$3700m/s+6000m/s=v_1_f+3700m/s$

$v_1_f=6000m/s$

A spring with spring constant 15 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

a

$m = 0.169 \ kg$

b

$|v_{max} |= 0.5653 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The spring constant is $k = 14 \ N/m$

The maximum extension of the spring is $A = 6.0 \ cm = 0.06 \ m$

The number of oscillation is $n = 30$

The time taken is $t = 20 \ s$

Generally the the angular speed of this oscillations is mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

where T is the period which is mathematically represented as

$T = \frac{t}{n}$

substituting values

$T = \frac{20}{30 }$

$T = 0.667 \ s$

Thus

$w = \frac{2 * 3.142 }{ 0.667}$

$w = 9.421 \ rad/s$

this angular speed can also be represented mathematically as

$w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

=> $m =\frac{k }{w^2}$

substituting values

$m =\frac{ 15 }{(9.421)^2}$

$m = 0.169 \ kg$

In SHM (simple harmonic motion )the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as

$v = - Awsin (wt)$

The velocity is maximum when $wt = \(90^o) \ or \ 1.5708\ rad$

$v_{max} = - A* w$

=> $|v_{max} |= A* w$

=> $|v_{max} |= 0.06 * 9.421$

=> $|v_{max} |= 0.5653 \ m/s$

The magnitude is 13.12 mV.

The steps are attached below.

<h3>How do you find the magnitude of an induced emf?</h3>

The standard SI unit of the magnetic field is the tesla (T). As an end result, we can use these equations and the equation for an induced emf due to changes in magnetic flux, ϵ=−NΔϕΔt ϵ = − N Δ ϕ Δ t, to calculate the importance of a precipitated emf in a solenoid.

The magnitude of the precipitated contemporary depends on the rate of trade of magnetic flux or the fee of reducing the magnetic area strains.
