Raindrops are falling straight down at 11 m/s when suddenly the wind starts blowing horizontally at a brisk 5.0 m/s. From your p

Answer: 24.4 degrees to the vertical

Explanation:

Vertical component of raindrop speed = 11m/s

Horizontal component of wind = 5m/s

In this case, all we have to do is to use trigonometric ratios of angles to sides as in a triangle

Doing this, we see that

tan (theta) = 5/11

(Where theta is the angle made with the vertical by the rain after impact)

Tan being opposite/adjacent

Arc sin (5/11) gives us 24.44 degrees to the vertical

Define moment of momentum. at which condition is it's magnitude zero?​
ololo11 [35]

Let's start with the concept of momentum. What is it? Linear momentum in physics is mathematically written as a product of mass and velocity of an object. Now let us suppose a body of mass m is moving in an inertial frame of reference with velocity v. Consider the fact that no external force is acting on the system. The momentum of this body is given by mv, where m is the mass and v is its velocity. In case of simple real world problems not delving into the realms of relativity, mass is a conserved quantity and it cannot be zero. Hence the velocity of the body must be zero and hence the momentum.

However, photons are considered to have a rest mass zero.

However note the point carefully "rest mass". A body in motion cannot have mass to be zero.

Suppose your car is on a 5% grade, meaning that for every 100 m you travel along the road you raise or lower only 5 m in elevati
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

734.215N

Explanation:

First we calculate the angle that corresponds to a 5% slope using the Tan-1 function

\beta = tan-1(5%)=2.86

then we use the component that corresponds to the direction parallel to the road, additionally we must multiply by the gravity value to find the weight(g=9.81m/s^2)

Wx=M*g*sen(2.86)=1500kg*9.81*sen(2.86)=734.215N

How fast must an object move before its length appears to be contracted to one-fourth its proper length? (Give your answer in te
Tresset [83]

Answer:

<em>0.97c</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

From the relativistic equation for length contraction, we have

l = l_{0}\sqrt{1 - \beta }

where

l is the final length of the object

l_{0} is the original length of the object before contraction

β = v^{2} /c^2

where v is the speed of the object

c is the speed of light in free space = 3 x 10^8 m/s

The equation can be re-written as

l/l_{0} = \sqrt{1 - \beta }

For the length to contract to one-fourth of the proper length, then

l/l_{0} = 1/4

substituting into the equation, we'll have

1/4 = \sqrt{1 - \beta }

substituting for β, we'll have

1/4 = \sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2 }

squaring both side of the equation, we'll have

1/16 = 1 - v^2/c^2

v^2/c^2 = 1 - 1/16

v^2/c^2 = 15/16

square root both sides of the equation, we have

v/c = 0.968

v = <em>0.97c</em>
