Answer:

It takes <u>2.93 s</u> for the object to reach ground from the height of 42 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Displacement of the object is, $d=-42\ m$

As it is dropped, initial velocity of the object is, $u=0$

Acceleration of the object is equal to acceleration due to gravity and is equal to, $a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2$

Now, using Newton's equation of motion and plugging in the values, we get:

$d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\-42=0+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2\\-42=-4.9t^2\\t^2=\frac{-42}{-4.9}\\t^2=8.571\\t=\sqrt{8.571}=2.93\ s$

So, it takes 2.93 s for the object to reach ground from the height of 42 m.

Answer:

Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m

The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.

For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.

$\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=0.209\ m\\\\\lambda=0.418\ m$

Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.

$f=\dfrac{2.57}{4.47}\\\\f=0.574\ Hz$

Now we can find the velocity of the wave.

Velocity = frequency × wavelength

v = 0.574 × 0.418

v = 0.239 m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.

Observe yourself breathing and count the number of times you inhale per second. During each breath you probably inhale 0.66 L of

Pavel [41]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Robert Boyle's law where:

$PV=nRT$

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

T = Temperature

n = amount of substance

R = Ideal gas constant

We start by calculating the volume of inhaled O_2 for it:

$V = 21\% * 0.66L$

$V = 0.1386L$

Our values are given as

P = 1atm

T=293K $R = 0.083145kJ*mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

Using the equation to find n, we have:

$PV=nRT$

$n = \frac{PV}{RT}$

$n = \frac{(1)(0.1386)}{(0.0821)(293)}$

$n = 5.761*10^{-3}mol$

Number of molecules would be found through Avogadro number, then

$\#Molecules = 5.761*10^{-3}*6.022*10^{23}$

$\#Molecules = 3.469*10^{21} molecules$

A dime is placed in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature R = 0.40 m. The image of the dime is inverted and t

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = $\frac{r}{2}$

f = $\frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m$

Now,

m = - $\frac{v}{u}$

- 2 = - $\frac{v}{u}$

$\frac{v}{u}$ = 2 (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}$

v = $\frac{uf}{u - f}$ (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = $\frac{uf}{u - f}$

2 = $\frac{f}{u - f}$

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m
