You are climbing in the High Sierra where you suddenly find yourself at the edge of a fog-shrouded cliff. To find the height of

this cliff, you drop a rock from the top and 8.80 s later hear the sound of it hitting the ground at the foot of the cliff.

A baseball is hit at ground level. The ball reaches its maximum height above ground level 3.0 s after being hit. Then 2.5 s afte
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Part a)

H = 44.1 m

Part b)

y = 13.48 m

Part c)

d = 8.86 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that ball will reach at maximum height at

t = 3 s

now we will have

t = \frac{v sin\theta}{g}

now we have

3 = \frac{vsin\theta}{9.8}

v sin\theta = 29.4 m/s

Now maximum height above ground is given as

H = \frac{v^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

H = \frac{29.4^2}{2(9.8)}

H = 44.1 m

Part b)

Height of the fence is given as

y = (vsin\theta) t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

y = (29.4)(5.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(5.5^2)

y = 13.48 m

Part c)

As we know that its horizontal distance moved by the ball in 5.5 s is given as

x = v_x t

97.5 = v_x (5.5)

v_x = 17.72 m/s

now total time of flight is given as

T = 3 + 3 = 6 s

so range is given as

R = v_x T

R = (17.72)(6)

R = 106.4 m

so the distance from the fence is given as

d = 106.4 - 97.5

d = 8.86 m

A car is rounding a 100-m-radius curve at 25 m/s.What is the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires a
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

Explanation:

if the μ is the coefficient of static friction and R is radius of the curve and v is the speed of the car then, one thing we know is that along the curve, the frictional force, f will be equal to the centripedal force, Fc and this relation is :

Fc = f

m×(v^2)/(R) = μ×m×g

    (v^2)/(R) = g×μ

               μ = (v^2)/(R×g)

                  =  ((25)^2)/((100)×(9.8))

                  = 0.64

Therefore, the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

If a nearsighted person has a far point df that is 3.50m from the eye, what is the focal length f1 of the contact lenses that th
olga55 [171]

Answer:

f1= -350cm or -3.5m

f2= 22.1cm or 0.221m

Explanation:

A person is nearsighted when the person's far point is less than infinity. A diverging lens is normally used to correct this eye defect. A diverging lens has a negative focal length as seen in the solution attached.

Farsightedness is when a person's near point is farther than 25cm. This eye defect is corrected using a converging lens. The focal length of a converging lens is positive. This is evident in the solution attached. The near point is also referred to as the least distance of distinct vision.

How much electrical energy is used by the river cooker oven rated 800 W ,230 V is switched on for 30 minutes
mariarad [96]

Answer:

E = 1440 kJ

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of a cooker oven is 800 W

Voltage at which it is operated is 230 V

Time, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

We need to find the electrical energy used by the cooker oven. The product of power and time is equal to the energy consumed. So,

E=P\times t\\\\E=800\ W\times 1800\ s\\\\E=1440000\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\E=1440\ kJ

So, electrical energy of 1440 kJ is consumed by the cooker oven.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

gexp = 3.65 m/s²

Explanation:

The value of acceleration due to gravity changes with the altitude. The following formula gives the value of acceleration due to gravity at some altitude from the sea level:

gexp = g(1 - 2h/Re)

where,

gexp = expected value of g at altitude = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.8 m/s²

h = altitude = 2000 km = 2 x 10⁶ m

Re = Radius of Earth = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

Therefore,

gexp = (9.8 m/s²)(1 - 2*2 x 10⁶ m/6.37 x 10⁶ m)

<u>gexp = 3.65 m/s²</u>
