44. A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down

to the victim with an initial velocity of 1.40 m/s and observes that it takes 1.8 s to reach the water. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable.

Answer:

18.4 m

Explanation:

(a)

The known variables in this problem are:

u = 1.40 m/s is the initial vertical velocity (we take downward direction as positive direction)

t = 1.8 s is the duration of the fall

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

(b)

The vertical distance covered by the life preserver is given by

d=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

If we substitute all the values listed in part (a), we find

d=(1.40 m/s)(1.8 s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(1.8 s)^2=18.4m

While passing through a human cell, an x-ray photon interacts with and inactivates the cell’s master molecule. What is the conse
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Cell Death

Explanation:

Cell death is defined as the biological process which ceases the function of the cell to carry out. This can be caused due to the formation of new cells in place of old cells.

Or it can be cause due to some serious disease or may be caused due to the injury or due to the death of that organism to which these cells belong.

And another case is that when X-ray photon interact with the human cell while it passes through the cell, it   will damage the cell and cease it to function well and a more drastic condition occurs and that cell become dead.

A wave with a wavelength of 125 meters is moving at a speed of 20 m/s. What is it’s frequency
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

0.16Hz

Explanation:

wavelength (λ) = 125 meters

speed (V) = 20 m/s

frequency (F) = ?

Recall that frequency is the number of cycles the wave complete in one

second. And its value depends on the wavelength and speed of the wave.

So, apply the formula V = F λ

Make F the subject formula

F = V / λ

F = 20 m/s / 125 meters

F = 0.16 Hz

A volcano erupts and launches a chunk of hot magma horizontally with a speed of 252 m/s. The magma travels a horizontal distance
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The value is v_y  =  -48.61 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The horizontal speed is  u_x  = 252 \  m/s

    The horizontal distance is  d = 1250 \ m

Generally the time taken by the hot magma in air before landing is mathematically represented as

       t = \frac{d}{u_x}

=>    t = \frac{ 1250 }{252}

=>    t = 4.96 \  s

Generally the initial vertical velocity of the magma when it was lunched is  

    u_y = 0 \ m/ s

Then the final velocity of the magma when it hits the ground is mathematically represented s

       - v_y  =  u_y + gt

Here the negative sign mean that the direction of the velocity is towards the negative y -axis

So  

        - v_y  =  48.61 \ m/s

=>     v_y  =  -48.61 \ m/s
