A physics student stands on the rim of the canyon and drops a rock. The student measures the time for it to reach the bottom to

Physics

zysi [14]3 years ago

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

I was reading an old thermodynamics textbook and came across this equation describing change in internal energy. What does the (
RoseWind [281]

Explanation:

I remember that notation! The expression

dQ = dU = (\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial T})_{V} dT+ (\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial V})_{T}dV

is the 1st law of thermodynamics and it refers to the heat supplied to the system dQ which is also a change in its internal energy dU. The first term is the <u>partial</u> derivative of the internal energy U with respect to temperature T while the volume V is kept constant, as denoted by the subscript V. The 2nd term is similar but this time, temperature is kept constant while its volume partial derivative is being taken.

Ah, memories!

Use Newton's laws to explain why a falling object dropped from a 57m tower accelerates initially but then reaches constant veloc
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

At the point of dropping the object, by Newton's first law due to gravitational force F_g = m × g, accelerates

By Newton's Second law the object reaches impacts on the air with the gravitational force resulting in changing momentum of m×(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)

As the velocity increases, the rate of change of momentum becomes equivalent to the gravitational force and by Newton's third law, the action action and reaction are equal and opposite hence they cancel each other out

The body then moves at a constant uniform motion down according to Newton's first law

Explanation:

At the point the object of mass, m, is dropped from the height of the tower, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force such that the object has an acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity, g, and the gravitational force is therefore = m × g

As the speed of the object increases while the object is falling with the gravitational acceleration the rate at which the object cuts through layers of air which (by Newton's first law of motion, are at rest ) has some buoyancy effect also increases therefore, the object is constantly increasingly changing the momentum of the air which by Newton's second law results, at an high enough velocity, and by Newton's third law, in a force equal to the applied gravitational force

Therefore, the force of the air drag becomes equal to the gravitational force, cancelling each other out and the object then moves according to Newton;s first law, in uniform motion of a constant speed while still falling down.

Which of these help create radio waves?
inysia [295]
The one that help create radio waves is :
Changing electric and magnetic fields applied at right angles

Radio waves are transverse wave, which means  that the oscillations occurring perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer

hope this helps

A 265 g mass attached to a horizontal spring oscillates at a frequency of 3.40 Hz . At t =0s, the mass is at x= 6.20 cm and has
lara [203]

Answer:

The phase constant is 7.25 degree  

Explanation:

given data

mass = 265 g

frequency = 3.40 Hz

time t = 0 s

x = 6.20 cm

vx = - 35.0 cm/s

solution

as phase constant is express as

y = A cosФ ..............1

here A is amplitude that is = \sqrt{(\frac{v_x}{\omega })^2+y^2 }  = \sqrt{(\frac{35}{2\times \pi  \times y})^2+6.2^2 }  =  6.25 cm

put value in equation 1

6.20 = 6.25 cosФ

cosФ  = 0.992

Ф = 7.25 degree  

so the phase constant is 7.25 degree
