The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:
v_x = 6.5 cos \theta \\ v_y = 6.5 sin \theta

Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:
y(t) = -4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t \\  \\ x(t) = (6.5 cos \theta) t
To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
-4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t=0 \\  \\ t = \frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta \\ \\(6.5 cos \theta)(\frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta) = 2.5 \\  \\ sin \theta cos \theta = 0.29 \\  \\ sin 2\theta = 0.58 \\  \\ 2\theta = 35.4, 144.6 \\  \\ \theta = 17.7,72.3

Which of the following sets of characteristics describes the image formed by a plane mirror?A. Virtual and invertedB. Real and u
tiny-mole [99]
<h2>Answer: Virtual and upright</h2><h2 />

A plane mirror is a highly polished flat surface with a very high capacity to reflect incident light.  

We can understand in a better way how this works with the figure attached:  

1. The incident rays coming from the real object reach the mirror and  

2.are reflected following the law of Reflection.  

3.The prolongation of those reflected rays converge at a point that does not coincide with the actual position of the object. At that point the virtual image of the object is formed.  

4.Then, the reflected divergent rays are captured by our eye converging on the retina.  

Now, the image is said to be virtual because it is a copy of the object that looks as if the object is behind the mirror and not in front of it or on the surface, but it is not really there. However, it can be seen when we focus it with our eyes.  

In addition, the image formed is:  

symmetrical, because apparently it is at the same distance from the mirror  

the same size as the object.  

upright, because it retains the same orientation as the object.

The current supplied by a battery as a function of time is I(t) = (0.88 A) e^(-t*6 hr). What is the total number of electrons tr
Degger [83]

Answer:

e. 1.2 x 10²³

Explanation:

According to the problem, The current equation is given by:

I(t)=0.88e^{-t/6\times3600s}

Here time is in seconds.

Consider at t=0 s the current starts to flow due to battery and the current stops when the time t tends to infinite.

The relation between current and number of charge carriers is:

q=\int\limits {I} \, dt

Here the limits of integration is from 0 to infinite. So,

q=\int\limits {0.88e^{-t/6\times3600s}}\, dt

q=0.88\times(-6\times3600)(0-1)

q = 1.90 x 10⁴ C

Consider N be the total number of charge carriers. So,

q = N e

Here e is electronic charge and its value is 1.69 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.

N = q/e

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

N= \frac{1.9\times10^{4} }{1.69\times10^{-19}}

N = 1.2 x 10²³
