A key falls from a bridge that is 45 m above the water. the key falls straight down and lands in a model boat traveling at a con

stant velocity of 3.5 m/s. calculate the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released.

Let the key is free falling, therefore from equation of motion

h = ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2..

Take initial velocity, u=0, so

h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2.

h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\\ t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

As velocity moves with constant velocity of 3.5 m/s, therefore we can use formula

d= v \times t

From above substituting t,

d = v \times \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }.

Now substituting all the given values and g = 9.8 m/s^2, we get

d = 3.5 \ m/s \times \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 45 m}{9.8 m/s^2} } = 10.60 m.

Thus, the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released is 10.60 m.

Is the mass of an object measured with scale, yes or no​
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The scale actually measures the force that the object does against it, and that force is called the weight.

Such that if we have an object with mass M and we are on Earth, where the gravitational acceleration is g, the weight is:

W = M*g

Now, there is a unit called "kilogram-force"

Such that on Earth, an object that has a mass of 10 kilograms, weighs 10 kilograms-force.

Then from the weight measure, we can instantly know the mass of the object, but the thing that is being measured is the weight, not the mass.

If two point sources of light are being imaged by this telescope, what is the maximum wavelength λ at which the two can be resol
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The maximum wavelength is 492 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular separation \theta=3.0\times10^{-5}\ rad

Suppose a telescope with a small circular aperture of diameter 2.0 cm.

We need to calculate the maximum wavelength

Using formula of angular separation

\sin\theta=\dfrac{1.22\lambda}{d}

\lambda=\dfrac{d\sin\theta}{1.22}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{2.0\times\sin(3\times10^{-5})}{1.22}

For small angle \sin\theta\approx\theta

\lambda=\dfrac{0.02\times3\times10^{-5}}{1.22}

\lambda=4.92\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=492\ nm

Hence, The maximum wavelength is 492 nm.

A car covers 120 km in 3 hours calculate its speed in m/s​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

11.1 m/s

Explanation:

120 km = 120 x 1,000 = 120,000 m

3 hours = 3 x 60 x 60 = 3600 x 3 = 10,800 s

speed = 120,000 / 10,800

= 1200/108

= 11.1 m/s
