Answer:

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building, s = 5 m

The initial speed of the rock, u = 6 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the rock to reach the ground. Using second equation of motion to find it. We get :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\5=6t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2\\\\t=0.569\ seconds$

So, the time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

The rock to reach the ground in 0.569 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 5.0 m

Speed = 6.0 m/s

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 0.5 m tall building.

This is the distance.

So, s = 0.5 m

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where, s = distance

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

$5.0=6.0\times t+0.5\times9.8t^2$

$4.9t^2+6.0 t-5.0 =0$

$t = 0.569\ sec$

Neglect the negative value.

Hence, The rock to reach the ground in 0.569 sec.

A copper wire 225m long must experience a voltage drop of less than 2.0v when a current of 3.5 a passes through it. compute the

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

V = I * R

R = 2 / 3.5 = .571 ohms maximum resistance of wire

R = ρ L / A where R is proportional to L and inversely proportional to A

A = ρ L / R minimum area of wire

ρ = 1 / μ = 1.67E-8 ohm-m resistivity inverse of conductivity

A = 1.67E-8 ohm-m * 225 m / .571 ohm = 6.68E-6 m^2

A = 6.68 mm^2 since 1 mm^2 = 10-6 m^2 or 1 mm = 10-3 m

A = Π r^2 = 6.68 mm^2

r = (6.68 / 3.14)^1/2 mm = 2.13 mm radius of wire

d = 2 * r = 4.26 mm

A wildlife photographer uses a moderate telephoto lens of focal length 135 mm and maximum aperture f/4.00 to photograph a bear t

labwork [276]

Answer:

<h3>(A) The width $x = 0.24 \times 10^{-3}$ m</h3><h3>(B) The new width is $1.32 \times 10^{-3}$ m</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Focal length $f = 135 \times 10^{-3} m$

Maximum aperture $D = \frac{f}{4}$

Wavelength $\lambda = 550 \times 10^{-9}$ m

(A)

From rayleigh criterion,

$\theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{D}$

$\theta =\frac{ 1.22 \times 550 \times 10^{-9} }{33.75 \times 10^{-3} }$

$\theta = 1.98 \times 10^{-5}$ rad

From angle formula,

$x = R\theta$

Where $R =$ 12 m ( given in example )

$x = 12 \times 1.98 \times 10^{-5}$ m

$x = 23.76 \times 10^{-5}$

$x = 0.24 \times 10^{-3}$ m

(B)

We know that $\theta$ is proportional to the $x$ and inversely proportional to the $D$

so we write the new width, here $x$ is 5.5 times larger than above case

$x = 0.24 \times 10^{-3} \times \frac{22}{4}$

$x = 1.32 \times 10^{-3}$ m

If a Ferrari, with an initial velocity of 10 m/s,

soldier1979 [14.2K]

<em>Acceleration at 50m/sec² : means every second the velocity increases by 50 m/sec. In 3 seconds the velocity increases by 150 m/s. So total will be 160 m/sec.

the formula is</em>

<em> V = final velocity = U initial velocity + acceleration a * time duration t</em>

<em> V = 10 m/s + 50 m/sec² * 3 sec = 160 m/sec</em>
