7) A crazy cat (yes, this is redundant) is running along the roof of a 60 m tall building. The cat is moving at a constant veloc

ity of 44 m/s when it runs out of roof and launches horizontally, becoming a projectile. Determine the distance from the base of the building to the landing site of the cat measured along the ground. Also, determine the total flight time of the cat from launch to impact. Finally, determine the impact velocity of the cat with the ground.

Answer:

The distance from the base of the building to the landing site is 154 m.

The total flight time is 3.5 s.

At the moment of impact, the velocity vector of the cat is v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s) and its magnitude is 55.8 m/s.

Explanation:

The equations for the position and velocity vectors of the cat are as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector of the cat at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward position as positive).

v = velocity vector of the cat at time t.

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the launching point so that x0 and y0 = 0. In a horizontal launch, initially there is no vertical velocity, then, v0y = 0.

When the cat reaches the ground, the position vector of the cat will be r1 (see figure). The vertical component of r1 is -60 m and the horizontal component will be the horizontal distance traveled by the cat (r1x). Then, using the equation of the y-component of the position vector, we can obtain the time of flight and with that time we can obtain the horizontal distance traveled by the cat:

r1y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-60 m = 0 m + 0 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

- 60 m = -4.9 m/s² · t²

-60 m / - 4.9 m/s² = t²

t = 3.5 s

The cat reaches the ground in 3.5 s

Now, we can calculate the horizontal component of r1:

r1x = x0 + v0 · t

r1x = 0 m + 44 m/s · 3.5 s

r1x = 154 m

The distance from the base of the building to the landing site is 154 m.

The total flight time was already calculated and is 3.5 s.

The velocity vector of the cat when it reaches the ground will be:

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

v = (44 m/s, 0 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.5 s)

v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s)

The magintude of the vector "v" is calculated as follows:

|v| = \sqrt{(44 m/s)^{2}+(-34.3 m/s)^{2}} = 55.8 m/s

At the moment of impact, the velocity vector of the cat is v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s) and its magnitude is 55.8 m/s.

When light shines through atomic hydrogen gas, it is seen that the gas absorbs light readily at a wavelength of 91.63 nm. What i
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

D) 21

Explanation:

When gas absorbs light , electron at lower level jumps to higher level .

and the difference of energy of orbital is equal to energy of radiation absorbed.

Here energy absorbed is equivalent to wavelength of 91.63 nm

In terms of its energy in eV , its energy content is eual to

1243.5 / 91.63 = 13.57 eV. This represents the difference the energy of orbit .

Electron is lying in lowest or first level ie n = 1.

Energy of first level

= - 13.6 / 1² = - 13.6 eV.

Energy of n th level = - 13.6 / n². Let in this level electron has been excited

Difference of energy

= 13.6 - 13.6 / n² = 13.57 ( energy of absorbed radiation)

13.6 / n² = 13.6 - 13.57 = .03

n² = 13.6 / .03 = 453

n = 21 ( approx )

svlad2 [7]

If current is passed through two parallel conductors in the same direction and the conductors are placed near each other, they will​ attract each other.

<h3>What is electric current?</h3>

Electric current can be defined as the flow of electrons.

Since electrons are easily removed from atom and are very mobile, the flow of electrons constitute an electric current.

Materials which allow electric current to flow through them are known as conductors. Examples of conductors are metals, and electrolytes.

On the other hand, materials which do not allow electric current to pass through them are known as insulators. Examples of insulators are wood and rubber.

The flow of current is known as electricity.

Parallel conductors with current flowing through them in the same direction are attracted to each other as a result of a magnetic field produced by the flow of current.

In conclusion, conductors allow electric current to pass through and the flow of current through a conductor produces a magnetic field.
