You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 1.87 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn f

alls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.166 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high above the ground was the acorn before it fell (assuming that the acorn didn\'t run into any branches or leaves on the way down)?

Answer:

3.25 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 0.166 seconds

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

s = 1 because meter stick is 1 meter in length

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{1-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.166^2}{0.166}\\\Rightarrow u=5.21\ m/s

Here, the initial velocity of point B is calculated from the time which is given. This velocity will be the final velocity of the acorn which falling from point A.

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{5.21^2-0^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=1.38\ m

The distance of the acorn from the ground is 1.87+1.38 = 3.25 m

What is the equivalent resistance between points A and C if R1=1430, R2=1350, R3=1100, R4=1350, and R5=1150.
Marianna [84]

R1 + R4 = 1430 + 1350 = 2780 = R14    series combination of R1 & R4

R2 + R5 = 1350 + 1150 = 2500 = R25

The circuit has been reduced to 3 resistors in parallel

R314 = 2780 * 1100 / (2780 + 1100) = 788  this is the resistance of the parallel combination of R14 and R3

R31425 = 2500 * 788 / (2500 + 788) = 599 which is the equivalent of the circuit  - you can also use the formula for 3 resistors in parallel but this seems simpler

How loudness of a sound wave depends on the intensity of the sound wave?
Anestetic [448]
Loudness of a sound wave is directly proportional to the intensity of the sound wave. In other words, when one increases, other also increases and vice-versa

Hope this helps!

A particle that carries a net charge of -41.8 μc is held in a region of constant, uniform electric field. the electric field vec
miss Akunina [59]
The total work done by the electric field on the charge is given by the scalar product between the electric force acting on the charge and the displacement of the charge:
W=F d cos \theta
where the force is F=qE, d=0.556 and \theta=55.2^{\circ}. Using the value of q and E given by the problem, we find
W=qEdcos\theta = 6.39\cdot10^{-5}J
