1) The minute travels the circumference of a 4 inches circle is 60 minutes:

Circumference = 2πr = 2π(2in) = 4π in
Time = 60 minutes

2) Constant angular velocity => (4π / 60) = (x / 20) => x = 4π / 3 inches

x = 4.19 inches

Answer: 4.19 inches

If a frog jumps with an initial velocity of 100m/s at an angle of 60°. a. What is the frog’s x and y components of velocity? b.
Nadya [2.5K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of frog, u = 100 m/s

It jumps at an angle of 60 degrees.

(a) Let v_x\ and\ v_y are the x and y components of velocity. It can be calculated as :

u_x=u\ cos\theta

u_x=100\times \ cos(60)

u_x=50\ m/s

u_y=u\ sin\theta

u_y=100\times \ sin(60)

u_y=86.6\ m/s

(b) Let y is the maximum height reached by the frog. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

At maximum height, v_y=0

v_y^2-u_y^2=2ay and a = -g

-u_y^2=-2g

y=\dfrac{u_y^2}{2g}

y=\dfrac{86.6^2}{2\times 9.8}

y = 382.63 meters

(c) Let t is the time taken by the frog to reach its maximum height. It can be calculated as :

v_y=u_y-gt

0=u_y-gt

t=\dfrac{u_y}{g}

t=\dfrac{86.6\ m/s}{9.8\ m/s^2}

t = 8.83 seconds

Hence, this is the required solution.

A rocket is traveling toward the earth at 12c when it ejects a missile forward at 12c relative to the rocket.
Ahat [919]

The correct value for the rocket speed measured by an observer on earth would be = 14c

<h3>Calculation and of the rocket speed</h3>

To calculate the speed of the rocket we should observe that the rocket and the missile are in a relative motion which are moving on the same direction.

The speed of the rocket = 12c

The speed of the missile = 12c

The individual speed of earth =0c

But, the relative speed of the missile and the Earth is the sum of individual speeds.

Thus, the speed of rocket as measured by an observer on the Earth would be 0 + 14c = 14c.

Therefore, the correct value for the rocket speed measured by an observer on earth would be =14c

Which one of the following is correct option: hydrogen,
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

hydrogen

Explanation:

pH is a measure of the ion concentration of hydrogen in a solution.

In chemistry, it literally means power of hydrogen ions and it is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution, thus specifying the acidity, neutrality or basicity of chemical solutions.

Mathematically, the pH of a solution is given by pH = -log 10[H^{+}]

Hence, a solution with a pH of 7 is neutral.

Also, a solution with a pH below 7 is acidic but basic if it's pH is above 7.
