Answer:

v_f=20.52\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

In this case the rock is under an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, we use the kinematic equation that relates the final speed of an object with its initial speed, its acceleration and its traveled distance.

v_f^2=v_0^2+2a\Delta y\\v_f^2=v_0^2+2a(y_2-y_1)\\v_f^2=(15\frac{m}{s})^2+2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(20m-10m)\\v_f=\sqrt{421\frac{m^2}{s^2}}\\v_f=20.52\frac{m}{s}

<h2>Answer:</h2>

20.62m/s

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Using one of the equations of motion given by;

v² = u² + 2as     -------------------------(i)

where;

v = final velocity of the object (rock)

u = initial velocity of the object (rock) = 15m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity of the rock = g = +10m/s² (since the direction of the rock is downwards in the direction of gravity towards the flying bird).

s = distance traveled by the rock.

Notice that the rock is thrown from a 20m height to hit a bird flying at an altitude of 10m. This means that the distance (s) travelled by the rock is;

20m - 10m = 10m

Substituting the values of u, a and s into equation (i) gives;

v² = 15² + (2 x 10 x 10)

v² = 225 + 200

v² = 425

v = √425

v = 20.62m/s

Therefore the speed of the rock when it makes contact with the bird is 20.62m/s

Briefly explain the two postulates of relativity, how they differed from classical physics, and why Einstein was led to propose
Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

The two postulates of special theory of relativity

Postulate 1: The law of physics are invariant under any of inertial frame of reference.

Postulate 2: The velocity of light is remains same in each ans every frame of reference and independent of relativity.

They are differ from classical mechanics that in classical mechanics there is no change in mass and length in relative velocity but in relativistic mechanics it changes.

These two postulates implements in phenomenon like time dilation , length contraction etc.

Rearrange the equation to solve for the permeability of free space (μ0). Remember that the slope is the ratio of magnetic field
IRINA_888 [86]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Compare the percent error between your value and the accepted value of 1.26 times 10-6 T · m/A. (Use the accepted value given to three significant figures in your calculation.). 100% % error = %

Answer:

The permeability of free space is \mu_0 = 1.32*10^{-6} \ Tm/A

The percentage error is  % error = 5.25%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

            The slope is  s= 3.9\  G/A , and

Generally  1 \ gauss =  10^{-4 } tesla

               So  s = 3.9 *10^ {-4} T /A

From the relation given in the question

                        \mu_0 = \frac{2R}{N} [\frac{B}{I} ]

 Where R is the radius of the coil  =\frac{Diameter \ of \ coil }{2} = 0.017m

             N is the number of loops of the coil = 10

Now from the question we are told that

                  s = \frac{B}{I}

substituting into the equation above

               \mu_0 = \frac{2R }{N} s

Substituting values

              \mu_0= \frac{2 * 0.017}{10 } * 3.9*10^{-4}

                   = 1.326 *10^ {-6} \ Tm/A

Generally the % error is mathematically represented as

                    %error = \frac{Measured \  value - accepted \ value}{accepted \  value } *100

Given that the accepted value is \mu_o_ {acc} = 1.26 *10 ^{-6} \ T \cdot m /A

      Hence substituting values

                      %error  = \frac{(1.326-1.26)*10^{-6}}{1.26 *10 ^ {-6}} *100

                                  = 5.24
