As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.

A radio station broadcast on a frequency of 3.7 mhz what is the energy of the radio wave
Ratling [72]

A radio station broadcast on a frequency of 3.7 mhz what is the energy of the radio wave A radio station broadcasts its programmes at a wavelength of 500 m. Find the frequency of the radiowaves transmitted by the radio station, if the speed of radiowaves in air is 3 x 108 m/s. Ans: 6 x 10 Hz

<h3>What is radio station ?</h3>

Radio broadcasting is the act of sending audio (sound), occasionally together with accompanying metadata, across radio waves to radio receivers used by the general public. Unlike satellite radio, which uses a satellite in Earth's orbit, terrestrial radio broadcasting uses a land-based radio station to transmit radio waves. The listener needs a broadcast radio receiver to hear the material (radio). A radio network with which stations frequently have affiliations provide content in a standard radio format, whether through broadcast syndication, simulcasting, or both. Radio stations use a variety of modulations to transmit their signals, including FM (frequency modulation), which is an older analog audio standard, and AM (amplitude modulation).

A ball is falling after rolling off a tall roof. The ball has
Rom4ik [11]
C.
Because it’s falling it has acceleration in the y direction. If you have acceleration, you usually also have velocity, and since kinetic energy is KE= Mv^2 you know you have it. It also has potential energy because it has some height to it, and PE= Mgh.

A 5.00-m-long uniform ladder, weighing 200 N, rests against a smooth vertical wall with its base on a horizontal rough floor, a
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.488  m  

Explanation:

If θ be the angle ladder makes with the plane

cos θ = 1.2 / 5

Tan θ = 4.04

Let the height a person of weight 600 N  can climb be h from the ground .

Distance from the base point  where ladder touches the floor  = h / tanθ

= h / 4.04

Total reaction force = total downward force

R = 200 + 600

800 N

Frictional force = μ R

= .2 x 800

= 160 N

Taking moment of force about the point on the ladder  where it  touches the floor  and balancing them

200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = μ R x  1.2 / tanθ ( reaction  at the top point of ladder where it touches the wall is  R₁ and

R₁ =μ R   )

= 200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = 160 x 1.2 / tanθ

120  - 600 h / 4.04 = 47.52

120 - 47.52 = 600 h / 4.04

72.48= 148.51 h

h = 0.488  m
