A rock climber throws a small first aid kit to another climber who is higher up the mountain. The initial velocity of the kit is

5.70 m/s at an angle of 45.7 ° above the horizontal. At the instant when the kit is caught, it is traveling horizontally, so its vertical speed is zero. What is the vertical height between the two climbers?

Answer:

Height difference between climbers = 0.85 m.

Explanation:

<u>Vertical motion of first aid kit:</u>

Initial vertical velocity, u = 5.70 sin 45.7 = 4.08 m/s

Acceleration, g = -9.81 m/s²

When the climber who is higher up the mountain catches the kit it's vertical speed is zero.

Final vertical velocity, v = 0 m/s

We have equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

Substituting

            0² = 4.08² + 2 x -9.81 x s      

            s = 0.85 m

So the kit travels 0.85 m vertically.

Height difference between climbers = 0.85 m.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

60 \Omega

Explanation:

the relation between current, voltage and resistance in an electrical circuit is given by Ohm's law:

V=IR

where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. In this problem, the current is I=2 A, the voltage is V=120 V, therefore we can arrange the previous equation and find the resistance:

R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{120 V}{2 A}=60 \Omega

A long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire. The wire has a charge
Alexxx [7]

Explanation:

It is given that, a long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire.

The charge per unit length of the wire is \lambda and the net charge per unit length is 2 \lambda.

We know that there exist zero electric field inside the metal cylinder.

(a) Using Gauss's law to find the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder. Let \lambda_i\ and\ \lambda_o are the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder.

For inner surface,

\phi=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

E.A=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

0=\dfrac{\lambda_i+\lambda}{\epsilon_o}

\lambda_i=-\lambda  

For outer surface,

\lambda_i+\lambda_o=2\lambda

-\lambda+\lambda_o=2\lambda

\lambda_o=3\lambda

(b) Let E is the electric field outside the cylinder, a distance r from the axis. It is given by :

E_o=\dfrac{\lambda_o}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}

E_o=\dfrac{3\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}

Hence, this is the required solution.

A juggler is practicing with one ball. It takes 2.4 seconds for the ball to leave her hand and return to her hand. How fast did

The kinematics for the vertical launch we can enter the initial velocity is 11.76 m / s

Given parameters

  • Time t = 2.4 s

To find

  • Initial velocity

Kinematics is the part of physics that establishes the relationships between the position, velocity, and acceleration of bodies.

In this case we have a vertical launch

          y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

Where y and y₀ are the final and initial positions, respectively, v₀ the initial velocity, g the acceleration of gravity (g = 9.8 m / s²) and t the time

   

With the ball in hand, its position is zero

         0 = 0 + v₀ t - ½ g t²

         v₀ t - ½ g t² = 0

         v₀ = ½ g t

Let's calculate

         v₀ = ½ 9.8 2.4

         v₀ = 11.76 m / s

In conclusion using kinematics for the vertical launch we can enter the initial velocity is 11.76 m / s

What is a homopolar motor?????)
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A homopolar motor is a direct current electric motor with two magnetic poles, the conductors of which always cut unidirectional lines of magnetic flux by rotating a conductor around a fixed axis so that the conductor is at right angles to a static magnetic field.
