A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. On seeing the meter st

ick released, you grab it with these two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. If the measured distance is 18.3 cm, what is the reaction time?

Answer:

t=0.193s

Explanation:

What is said is that the meter fell d=18.3cm=0.183m under the action of gravity. We can use the formula for accelerated motion:

d=v_0t+\frac{at^2}{2}

Since it departed from rest it will mean that:

d=\frac{at^2}{2}

So our time will be:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}

Which for our values is:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.183m)}{(9.81m/s^2)}}=0.193s

I have a voltage source of 12V but a light that only burns at 5V. The lamp works on 18 mA. Calculate the resistance that you EXT
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

Explanation:

Given;

Voltage source, E = 12 V

Voltage rating of the lamp, V = 5 V

Current through the lamp, I = 18 mA

Extra voltage or potential drop = 12 V - 5 V = 7 V

The resistance that will provide this potential drop (7 V) is calculated as follows:

R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{7 \ V}{18 \times 10^{-3} A} \ = 388.89 \ ohms

Therefore, the resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

You throw a balloon that floats in the air with a velocity of 2 m / s south . If the wind speed is 5 m / s west , how far south
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m

Explanation:

velocity of the ball, v_b = 2 m/s south

velocity of the air, v_a = 5 m/s west

To determine the distance the balloon will travel after 2 seconds, first determine the resultant velocity of the balloon.

                                       | 2m/s

                                       |

                                       |

                                      ↓

      5m/s  ←------------------

the two velocities forms a right angled triangle and the resultant will be the hypotenuses side of the triangle.

R² = 5² + 2²

R² = 29

R = √29

R = 5.385 m/s

The distance traveled by the balloon is calculated as;

d = R x t

where;

t is time of the motion = 2 seconds

d = 5.385 x 2

d = 10.77 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m.

If there were no external forces acting on the two pucks, their complex motion could be described as the combination of the unif
mote1985 [20]

The absence of external forces will make the pucks move in the form of a uniform circular motion.

<h3>What is a circular motion?</h3>

It should be noted that a circular motion simply means the movement of an object along the circumference of the circle.

In this case, the absence of external forces will make the pucks move in the form of a uniform circular motion.

If the friction is absent, the pucks will continue to move on the same path due to the first law of Newton and the law of conversation of energy. In this case,the results will match the predictions until there's loss in energy.

The line that is drawn perpendicular to the point at which a wave intersects a boundary is know as the
fomenos
<span>The line that is drawn perpendicular to the point at which a wave intersects a boundary is know as the Normal .

When the normal is drawn, the incident ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence and the reflected ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence. These angles are always equal.
 
The refracted ray makes an angle with the normal known as angle of refraction. The sin of angle of incidence to the sin of angle of refraction is called the refractive index( </span>μ= <span>sin i / sin r) .

hope all of it helps you!</span>
