The atmosphere of Neptune and Uranus have a blue color because of which gas?

What best describes the speed of light waves in solids, liquids, and gases?

hammer [34]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Generally, the speed of light slows down when passing through a medium that is not a vacuum. This is not always the case, but I will be ignoring the rare/exotic exceptions. Light has a harder time traveling through solids and liquids than it does with gases.

Starting from rest, a solid sphere rolls without slipping down an incline plane. At the bottom of the incline, what does the ang

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w

Explanation:

Assume:

- The cylinder with mass m

- The radius of cylinder R

- Distance traveled down the slope is s

- The angular speed at bottom of slope w

- The slope of the plane θ

- Frictionless surface.

Solution:

- Using energy principle at top and bottom of the slope. The exchange of gravitational potential energy at height h, and kinetic energy at the bottom of slope.

ΔPE = ΔKE

- The change in gravitational potential energy is given as m*g*h.

- The kinetic energy of the cylinder at the bottom is given as rotational motion: 0.5*I*w^2

- Where I is the moment of inertia of the cylinder I = 0.5*m*R^2

We have:

m*g*s*sin(θ) = 0.25*m*R^2*w^2

2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w

- The angular velocity depends on plane geometry θ , distance travelled down slope s, Radius of the cylinder R , and gravitational acceleration g

A student standing on a knoll throws a snowball horizontally 4.5 meters above the level ground toward a smokestack 15 meters awa

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

$y_{o}$ = initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m

$t$ = time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction

$a_{y}$ = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

$y$ = position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack

Using the kinematics equation

$y = y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}$

inserting the above values

$y = 4.5 + (0) (0.65) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (0.65)^{2} \\y = 2.4 m$

A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water at 25.0 m/s at a fixed angle of 53.0° above the horizontal. The fire-f

zysi [14]

Answer:

8.8 m and 52.5 m

Explanation:

The vertical component and horizontal component of water velocity leaving the hose are

$v_v = vsin(\alpha) = 25sin(53^0) = 25*0.8 = 19.97 m/s$

$v_h = vcos(\alpha) = 25cos(53^0) = 25*0.6 = 15 m/s$

Neglect air resistance, vertically speaking, gravitational acceleration g = -9.8m/s2 is the only thing that affects water motion. We can find the time t that it takes to reach the blaze 10m above ground level

$s = v_vt + gt^2/2$

$10 = 19.97t - 9.8t^2/2$

$4.9t^2 - 19.97t + 10 = 0$

$t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$t= \frac{19.9658877511823\pm \sqrt{(-19.9658877511823)^2 - 4*(4.9)*(10)}}{2*(4.9)}$

$t= \frac{19.9658877511823\pm14.24}{9.8}$

t = 3.49 or t = 0.58

We have 2 solutions for t, one is 0.58 when it first reach the blaze during the 1st shoot up, the other is 3.49s when it falls down

t is also the times it takes to travel across horizontally. We can use this to compute the horizontal distance between the fire-fighters and the building

$s_1 = v_ht_1 = 15*0.58 = 8.8 m$

$s_2 = v_ht_2 = 15*3.49 = 52.5m$
