Two stones are launched from the top of a tall building. One stoneis thrown in a direction 30.0^\circ above the horizontal with

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Part A)

t(1) > t(2), the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

x(f1) > x(f2), the first stone will land farther away from the building.

Explanation:

Part A)

Let's use the parabolic motion equation to solve it. Let's define the variables:

y(i) is the initial height, it is a constant.
y(f) is the final height, in our case is 0
v(i) is the initial velocity (v(i)=16 m/s)
θ1 is the first angle, 30°
θ2 is the first angle, -30°

For the first stone

$y_{f1}=y_{i1}+v*sin(\theta_{1})t_{1}-0.5gt_{1}^{2}$

$0=y_{i1}+16*sin(30)t_{1}-0.5*9.81*t_{1}^{2}$

$0=y_{i1}+8t_{1}-4.905*t_{1}^{2}$ (1)

For the second stone

$0=y_{i2}+16*sin(-30)t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}$

$0=y_{i2}-8t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}$ (2)

If we solve the equation (1) we will have:

$t_{1}=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}$

We can do the same procedure for the equation (2)

$t_{1}=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}$

We can analyze each solution to see which one spends more time in the air.

It is easy to see that the value inside the square root of each equation is always greater than 8, assuming that the height of the building is > 0. Now, to get positive values of t(1) and t(2) we need to take the negative option of the square root.

Therefore, t(1) > t(2), it means that the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

We can use the equation of the horizontal position here.

First stone

$x_{f1}=x_{i1}+vcos(30)t_{1}$

$x_{f1}=0+13.86*t_{1}$

$x_{f1}=13.86*t_{1}$

Second stone

$x_{2}=x_{i2}+vcos(-30)t_{2}$

$x_{1}=0+13.86*t_{1}$

$x_{1}=13.86*t_{2}$

Knowing that t(1) > t(2) then x(f1) > x(f2)

Therefore, the first stone will land farther away from the building.

They land at different points at different times.

I hope it helps you!

A box full of charged plastic balls sits on a table. The electric force exerted on a ball near one upper corner of the box has c

tatuchka [14]

We have that the values for F north, F east, F up are

$F_N=1.09090909*10^{-5}$
$F_E=5.18181818*10^{-6}$
$F_E=2*10^{-6}$

From the Question we are told that

electric force $F_1 = 1.2 x 10^{-3} N(N)$

electric force , $F_2=5.7 x 10^{-4} N(E)$

electric force , $F_3=2.2 x 10^{-4} N (U)$

charge on this ball one $q_1= 110 nC.$

charge on this ball two $q_2= -50 nC.$

Generally the equation for the F north is mathematically given as

$F_N=\frac{F_1}{q_1}\\\\F_N=\frac{ 1.2 * 10^{-3} )}{110}$

$F_N=1.09090909*10^{-5}$

For F East

$F_E=\frac{F_2}{q_1}\\\\F_E=\frac{5.7 x 10^-4 }{110}$

$F_E=5.18181818*10^{-6}$

For F UP

$F_U=\frac{F_3}{q_1}\\\\F_U=\frac{2.2 x 10^-4 }{110}$

$F_E=2*10^{-6}$

A certain computer chip that has dimensions of 3.67 cm and 2.93 cm contains 3.5 million transistors. If the transistors are squa

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1.56 × 10^-3 cm.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following parameters from the question above;

Length = 3.67 cm, breadth = 2.93 cm, and the number of embedded transistors = 3.5 million.

Step one: find the area of the computer chip.

Therefore, Area = Length × breadth.

Area = 3.67 cm × 2.93 cm.

Area of the computer chip = 10.7531 cm^2. = 10.75 cm^2.

Step two: find the area of one transistor

The area of one transistor is; (area of the computer chip) ÷ (number of embedded transistors).

Hence;

The area of one transistor= 10.7531/4.4 × 10^6.

The area of one transistor= 2.44 × 10^-6 cm^2.

=> Note that We have our transistors as square, therefore;

The maximum dimension = √ (2.44 × 10^-6) cm^2.

The maximum dimension= 1.56 × 10^-3 cm.

A solenoid coil with 22 turns of wire is wound tightly around another coil with 330 turns. The inner solenoid is 21.0 cm long an

horsena [70]

Answer:

The average magnetic flux through each turn of the inner solenoid is $11.486\times10^{-8}\ Wb$

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 22 turns

Number of turns another coil = 330 turns

Length of solenoid = 21.0 cm

Diameter = 2.30 cm

Current in inner solenoid = 0.140 A

Rate = 1800 A/s

Suppose For this time, calculate the average magnetic flux through each turn of the inner solenoid

We need to calculate the magnetic flux

Using formula of magnetic flux

$\phi=BA$

$\phi=\dfrac{\mu_{0}N_{2}I}{l}\times\pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=\dfrac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times330\times0.140}{21.0\times10^{-2}}\times\pi\times(\dfrac{2.30\times10^{-2}}{2})^2$

$\phi=11.486\times10^{-8}\ Wb$

Hence, The average magnetic flux through each turn of the inner solenoid is $11.486\times10^{-8}\ Wb$
