Answer:

D, both A and B

Explanation:

2168 mV is the SI unit for potential difference and the Voltmeter.

The primary unit is Volt, represented as V. Due to the fact that there can be a much higher reading, or an even much more smaller one, comes the need for variants of the same unit.

10^-3 is called milli and represented as m

10^3 is called killo and represented as k

10^-6 is called micro and represented as µ

10^6 is called mega and represented as M

and even much higher variants of up to 10^12 and 10^-12

As we can see from the aforementioned example, 10^-3 is milli and represented as m

And our question gave us the unit in mV, which stands for millivolts.

Also, if we look at option B, it states, 2.168 volts. This 2.168 volts is also the same thing as A. Take a look at it this way, I said mV is 10^-3, right?

So, 2168*10^-3 is also 2168/100 which is 2.168. The only difference here is, once we make this conversion from mV, we have to drop the milli tag, because we have already made a conversion, and thus, leave it as V.

2168 mV = 2.168V

Hence why we picked option D, Both A & B as the right one

A mortar is like a small cannon that launches shells at steep angles. A mortar crew is positioned near the top of a steep hill.

Elena-2011 [213]

1) Distance down the hill: 1752 ft (534 m)

2) Time of flight of the shell: 12.9 s

3) Final speed: 326.8 ft/s (99.6 m/s)

Explanation:

The motion of the shell is a projectile motion, so we can analyze separately its vertical motion and its horizontal motion.

The vertical motion of the shell is a uniformly accelerated motion, so the vertical position is given by the following equation:

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

where:

$u sin \theta$ is the initial vertical velocity of the shell, with $u=156 ft/s$ and $\theta=49.0^{\circ}$

$g=32 ft/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

At the same time, the horizontal motion of the shell is a uniform motion, so the horizontal position of the shell at time t is given by the equation

$x=(ucos \theta)t$

where $u cos \theta$ is the initial horizontal velocity of the shell.

We can re-write this last equation as

$t=\frac{x}{u cos \theta}$ (1b)

And substituting into (1),

$y=xtan\theta -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (2)

where we have choosen the top of the hill (starting position of the shell) as origin (0,0).

We also know that the hill goes down with a slope of $\alpha=-41.0^{\circ}$ from the horizontal, so we can write the position (x,y) of the hill as

$y=x tan \alpha$ (3)

Therefore, the shell hits the slope of the hill when they have same x and y coordinates, so when (2)=(3):

$xtan\alpha = xtan \theta - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Substituting (1b) into this equation,

$xtan \alpha = x tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g(\frac{x}{ucos \theta})^2\\x (tan \theta - tan \alpha)-\frac{g}{2u^2 cos^2 \theta} x^2=0\\x(tan \theta - tan \alpha-\frac{gx}{2u^2 cos^2 \theta})=0$

Which has 2 solutions:

x = 0 (origin)

and

$tan \theta - tan \alpha=\frac{gx}{2u^2 cos^2 \theta}=0\\x=(tan \theta - tan \alpha) \frac{2u^2 cos^2\theta}{g}=1322 ft$

So, the distance d down the hill at which the shell strikes the hill is

$d=\frac{x}{cos \alpha}=\frac{1322}{cos(-41.0^{\circ})}=1752 ft=534 m$

In order to find how long the mortar shell remain in the air, we can use the equation:

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

where:

x = 1322 ft is the final position of the shell when it strikes the hill

$u=156 ft/s$ is the initial velocity of the shell

$\theta=49.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of projection of the shell

Substituting these values into the equation, we find the time of flight of the shell:

$t=\frac{1322}{(156)(cos 49^{\circ})}=12.9 s$

In order to find the final speed of the shell, we have to compute its horizontal and vertical velocity first.

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant and it is

$v_x = u cos \theta =(156)(cos 49^{\circ})=102.3 ft/s$

Instead, the vertical component of the velocity is given by

$v_y=usin \theta -gt$

And substituting at t = 12.9 s (time at which the shell strikes the hill),

$v_y=(156)(cos 49^{\circ})-(32)(12.9)=-310.4ft/s$

Therefore, the final speed of the shell is:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(102.3)^2+(-310.4)^2}=326.8 ft/s=99.6 m/s$

Is V directly proportional to I (From V=IR)??<br>Or is V inversely proportional to I (From P=IV) ???

ziro4ka [17]

First of all, I is proportional V according to the Ohm's Law. R is merely a constant you need to obtain an equation. However, it is true that R changes with temperature and pressure, therefore Ohm's Law is only applicable in an invariable environment. Also this constant R is different for different materials.

So, do not get confused.

Ohm's law is not a universal law, please remember that as well. Some materials do not follow it and we call them non-ohmic conductors. I hope I helped! ^-^

How would the force of air resistance depend on an object speed

denis-greek [22]

The quicker the speed of an object, the more frequently it is hit by air molecules. this boost in frequency means the molecules push back, increasing the air resistance. If you need more help post a comment so I can help out!
