Answer:

The coconut hit the ground after 1.28 s

Explanation:

Velocity: This can be defined as the rate of change of displacement. Or it is defined as speed in a specified direction. Velocity is a vector quantity. The S.I unit of velocity is m/s.

Using the equation of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt²....................................... Equation 1

Where S = distance, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity

<em>Given: s= 8 m, u = 0 m/s ( because it was drop from a height), </em>

<em>Constant :   g = +9.8 m/s²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>8 = 0×t + 1/2(9.8×t²)</em>

<em>8 = 4.9t²</em>

<em>t² = 8/4.9</em>

<em>t = √1.63</em>

<em>t = 1.276 s</em>

t = 1.28 s

Therefore the coconut hit the ground after 1.28 s

A cue ball, moving with 9.0 N·s of momentum strikes the nine-ball at rest. The nine-ball moves off with 2.0 N·s in the original
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

P = 7.28 N.s

Explanation:

given,

initial momentum of cue ball in x- direction,P₁ = 9 N.s

momentum of nine ball in  x-  direction, P₂ = 2 N.s

momentum in perpendicular direction i.e. y - direction,P'₂ = 2 N.s

momentum of the cue after collision = ?

using conservation of momentum

in x- direction

P₁ + p = x  + P₂

p is the initial momentum of the nine balls which is equal to zero.

9 + 0  = x  + 2

x = 7 N.s

momentum in x-direction.

equating along y-direction

P'₁ + p = y + P'₂

0 + 0 = y + 2

y = -2 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to resultant of the momentum .

P = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

P = \sqrt{7^2+(-2)^2}

      P = 7.28 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to P = 7.28 N.s

A 12 volt car battery is connected to a 3 ohm brake light. What is the current carrying energy to the lights?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

V = IR, where V=voltage, I=current, R=resistance. This is Ohm's Law. (remember that for units V = volts, Ω = ohms, A = amperes.)

V = IR

12 V = I * 3 Ω

12/3 = I

<u>I = 4 A</u>

A mountaintop is a height y above the level ground. A woman measures the angle of elevation of the
Kamila [148]
Refer to the diagram shown below.
We want to find y in terms of d, φ and θ.

By definition,
tan (\theta) =  \frac{y}{x} \\\\ tan( \phi) = \frac{y}{x-d}

Therefore
y = x tan(θ)                   (1)
y = (x - d) tan(φ)           (2)

Equate (1) and (2).
(x - d) \, tan(\phi) = x \, tan(\theta) \\ x[tan(\phi) - tan(\theta)] = d \, tan(\phi) \\ x= \frac{d tan(\phi)}{tan(\phi)-tan(\theta)}

From (1), obtain the required expression for y.

Answer:
y= \frac{d \, tan(\phi) \, tan(\theta)}{tan(\phi)-tan(\theta)}
