Mt. Asama, Japan, is an active volcano complex. In 2009, an eruption threw solid volcanic rocks that landed far from the crater.

Suppose that one such rock was launched at an angle of θ = 58.7 degrees above horizontal, and landed a horizontal distance d = 1200 m from the crater, and a vertical distance h = 780 m below the crater.
Write and expression for v0, the initial speed of the rock in terms of θ, d, and h.

Answer:u=97.41m/s

Explanation:

Given

inclination \theta =58.7^{\circ}C

Horizontal distance travel by Particle d=1200 m

Vertical height h=780 m

Let u be the initial velocity

calculating vertical distance

y=u\sin \theta +\frac{at^2}{2}

y=u\sin \theta t-\frac{gt^2}{2}-------1

Calculating horizontal distance

x=u\cos \theta \times t+0

t=\frac{x}{u\cos \theta }

put value of t in equation 1

y=u\sin \theta \times \frac{x}{u\cos \theta }-\frac{g}{2}\times (\frac{x}{u\cos \theta })^2

y=x\tan \theta -\frac{gx^2}{2u^2\cos ^2\theta }

\frac{gx^2}{2u^2\cos ^2\theta }=x\tan \theta -y

u^2=\frac{gx^2}{2cos^2\theta (x\tan \theta -y)}

u=\sqrt{\frac{gx^2}{2cos^2\theta (x\tan \theta -y)}}

at y=-780\ m\ x=1200 m

u^2=\frac{18.154}{2753.65}\times 1200^2

u=97.41 m/s

Why is sustainable use important?

To make sure that we have enough resourses to sustain ourselves. You see, if we use up, say, all water on earth, then obviously we won't have any more and we'll die.

An unlit match is held near (not touching) a Bunsen flame. The match doesn't get hot enough to light because
ohaa [14]
The answer is option D)
this is because the heat radiated by the flame is mostly absorbed by the air surrounding it, so the air becomes hot and its density decreases (because of expansion), therefore it goes up and it is replaced by cooler air. since all of the hot air flies up, non goes side ways to heat up the match stick, hence it remains cool and does not light up.

option A) also sounds correct, but it isn't. this is because the flame IS hot enough to burn the match stick, it's just that the match stick is positioned the wrong way

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hai
Korolek [52]

Answer:

b) 900 W

Explanation:

The breaker trips when the current is equal to 20 A. The power (P) is the ddp (V) multiplied by the current. So, for the electric heater, the current is:

P = V*i

1500 = 120*i

i = 12.5 A

So, to become in 20 A, it's needed 7.5 A, which must come from the hairdryer. Its power must be:

P = 120*7.5

P = 900 W
