Answer:

50.2 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the following SUVAT equation for the vertical position of the rock:

y(t)=h+ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h is the initial height (the depth of the canyon), taking the bottom of the canyon as reference position

u = 0 is the initial velocity of the rock

t is the time

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

When the rock reaches the bottom, t = 3.2 s and y = 0. Substituting these numbers and solving for h, we find the depth of the canyon:

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = -\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(3.2)^2=50.2 m

wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.18216 T

Explanation:

N = Number of turns = 219

A = Area = \pi r^2

r = Radius = 1 cm

\omega = Angular speed = 40\times 2\pi

Maximum emf is given by

\epsilon=NBA\omega\\\Rightarrow B=\dfrac{\epsilon}{NA\omega}\\\Rightarrow B=\dfrac{3.15}{219\times \pi 0.01^2\times 40\times 2\pi}\\\Rightarrow B=0.18216\ T

The strength of the magnetic field is 0.18216 T

What force must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 2000-kg car (a large car) resti
Nataliya [291]

Archimedes principle states that

 

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

F2 = (A2 / A1) * F1

 

Also, formula for the force is F = mg. Formula for the area of the cylinder is A = πr^2, therefore we get

 

F2 = (πr2^2 / πr1^2) * mg

 

Since the diameter of the cylinders are 2 cm and 24 cm, r1 = 12 and r2 = 1.

 

Substituting the values to the derived equation, we get

 

F2 = (π 1^2 / π 12^2) * 2400 * 9.8

F2 = 163.3333 N

What is the thinnest soap film (excluding the case of zero thickness) that appears black when illuminated with light with a wave
swat32

Answer:

0.203 micro meter

Explanation:

for destructive interference that appearsblack, use the formula

2 t = m λ / u (where m = 0 1 2 3 ... is order of minima)

where t = tickness,

u is the ref index = 1.32

Wavelenth λ = 535×10^-9 meter

for t (minimum) m = 1 (as m=0 is ruled out as t>0)

t = 1× 535×10^-9/2×1.32

t (min) = 202.65×10^-9 meter

OR

t (min) = 0.203×10^-6 meter = 0.203 micro meter
