Mechanical advantage (MA = slope/height)
here length of slope = 9Hheight = H                                                 so mechanical advantage = ---- 9H/H= 9

Desde una altura de 120 m se deja caer un cuerpo. Calcular a los 2,5 s i) la rapidez que lleva; ii) cuánto ha descendido; iii) c
stira [4]

Answer:

i) 24.5 m/s

ii) 30,656 m

iii) 89,344 m

Explanation:

Desde una altura de 120 m se deja caer un cuerpo. Calcule a 2.5 s i) la velocidad que toma; ii) cuánto ha disminuido; iii) cuánto queda por hacer

i) Los parámetros dados son;

Altura inicial, s = 120 m

El tiempo en caída libre = 2.5 s

De la ecuación de caída libre, tenemos;

v = u + gt

Dónde:

u = Velocidad inicial = 0 m / s

g = Aceleración debida a la gravedad = 9.81 m / s²

t = Tiempo de caída libre = 2.5 s

Por lo tanto;

v = 0 + 9.8 × 2.5 = 24.5 m / s

ii) El nivel que el cuerpo ha alcanzado en 2.5 segundos está dado por la relación

s = u · t + 1/2 · g · t²

= 0 × 2.5 + 1/2 × 9.81 × 2.5² = 30.656 m

iii) La altura restante = 120 - 30.656 = 89.344 m.

Uranium-235 decays to thorium-231 with a half-life of 700 million years. When a rock was formed, it contained 6400 million urani
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

proof in explanation

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:

n = \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}

where,

n = no. of half-lives = ?

t = total time passed = 2100 million years

t_{1/2} = half-life = 700 million years

Therefore,

n = \frac{2100\ million\ years}{700\ million\ years}\\\\n = 3

Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left (n_u):

n_u = \frac{1}{2^{n} }(total\ nuclei)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{2^{3} }(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{8}(6400\ million)\\\\n_u =  800\ million

and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei (u_{th})

n_{th} = total\ nuclei - n_u\\n_{th} = 6400\ million-800\ million\\n_{th} = 5600\ million

dividing both:

\frac{n_{th}}{n_u}=\frac{5600\ million}{800\ million} \\\\n_{th} = 7n_u

<u>Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.</u>

A pendulum is swinging back and forth with a period of 2.0 seconds here on Earth. This pendulum is then brought to the Moon. Wha
LenKa [72]

Answer: The period of the pendulum will increase. Because of less gravity

Explanation:

Since the force of gravity is less on the Moon, the pendulum  would swing slower at the same length and angle and its frequency would be less. Hence more time period will be experienced by the pendulum. On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity g is less when compared to that of the earth.

Wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are __________________ the wavelengths of reradiated heat. question 2 options: faster th
MArishka [77]
I think that the wavelengths of an incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat. This is because the incoming solar radiation to the surface of the earth is in the utraviolet (short) to near infrared (long) wavelength bands. After absorption has taken place, surfaces reradiate heat energy back to the atmosphere at long wavelength infrared.
