Harry Potter is chasing his nemesis Draco Malfoy during a quidditch match. Initially, Harry is 35m behind Draco, who has just sp

otted the Golden Snitch hovering 75m away at the edge of the playing field. Draco Flies at a constant speed of 40 m/s straight towards the Golden Snitch. If Harry is originally flying at 50 m/s, what acceleration does he need to reach the Snitch 175 m ahead of Draco? How fast will Harry be moving when he passes Draco?

Answer:

the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

harry is 35 m behind Draco

speed of Draco = 40 m/s

original speed of harry = 50 m/s

acceleration = ?

time taken by the Draco

    t =\dfrac{r}{u} =\dfrac{75}{40}

     t = 1.875 s

distance covered by Harry

  d = 35 + 175 = 210 m

to calculate the acceleration of harry

s = u t+ \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

210 = 50\times 1.875+ \dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.875^2

a × 3.516 × 0.5 = 116.25

a = 66.126 m/s²

hence, the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²

When you look at green dots with a red filter what color did you see?
Dimas [21]
-- Looking at the dots casually, they look green because they absorb all other
colors of light, and only green light is left to proceed to your eyes. (In order for
this to work, there has to be some green in the light shining on the dots.
Daylight and most light bulbs work fine.)

-- The filter looks red because it absorbs all other colors of light, and only
the red light is left to pass through the filter and come out on the other side.

-- When the green light from the dots hits the red filter, it's absorbed in the
filter, and there's no light left to come out on the other side.

If you're looking through the filter at the dots, they look <em>black</em>.

A lamp is 10% efficient.How much electrical energy must be supplied to the lamp each second if it produces 20 J of light energy
k0ka [10]

If it produces 20J of light energy in a second, then that 20J is the 10% of the supply that becomes useful output.

20 J/s = 10% of Supply

20 J/s = (0.1) x (Supply)

Divide each side by 0.1:

Supply = (20 J/s) / (0.1)

<em>Supply = 200 J/s  </em>(200 watts)

========================

Here's something to think about:  What could you do to make the lamp more efficient ?  Answer:  Use it for a heater !

If you use it for a heater, then the HEAT is the 'useful' part, and the light is the part that you really don't care about.  Suddenly ... bada-boom ... the lamp is 90% efficient !

What is wrong with the following statement: When you exert a force on a baseball, the equal and opposite force on the ball balan
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

When you exert a force on a baseball, there exists an equal and opposite force on the ball therefore, the ball will accelerate in opposite direction.

Explanation:

When you hit a ball with baseball bat, the bat exerts a great force on the ball which causes the ball to accelerate in the opposite direction. It is to be noted that the mass of bat is much greater than mass of ball but the acceleration of ball is also greater than the acceleration of the bat so both bat and ball almost exert same magnitude of force but in opposite direction and as a result both bat and ball accelerate in opposite direction, the deciding factor is of course the relative force applied by the batter and the bowler.

A man of mass 80.0 kg stands on a platform of mass 40.0 kg. He pulls on a rope that is fastened to the platform and runs over a
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:F=648 N

Explanation:

Given

mass of man m_1=80 kg

mass of Platform m_2=40 kg

acceleration of system a=1 m/s^2

Let F be the force with which man pulls the rope which will also create a tension of F in rope

From Diagram

2F-(m_1+m_2)g=(m_1+m_2)a

2F=(m_1+m_2)(g+a)

F=\frac{(m_1+m_2)(g+a)}{2}

F=\frac{(80+40)(9.8+1)}{2}

F=\frac{1296}{2}

F=648 N
