A rock is thrown at a window that is located 18.0 m above the ground. The rock is thrown at an angle of 40.0° above horizontal.

The rock is thrown from a height of 2.00 m above the ground with a speed of 30.0 m/s and experiences no appreciable air resistance. If the rock strikes the window on its upward trajectory, from what horizontal distance from the window was it released?A. 29.8 mB. 27.3 mC. 48.7 mD. 71.6 mE. 53.2 m

Answer:

B) 27.3 m

Explanation:

The rock describes a parabolic path.

The parabolic movement results from the composition of a uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) and a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward or downward motion (vertical ).

The equation of uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) for the x axis is :

x =  vx*t   Equation (1)

Where:  

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity  in m/s  

The equations of uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward (vertical ) for the y axis  are:

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² - 2g(y- y₀)    Equation (2)

vfy = v₀y -gt    Equation (3)

Where:  

y: vertical position in meters (m)  

y₀ : initial vertical position in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀y: initial  vertical velocity  in m/s  

vfy: final  vertical velocity  in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 30 m/s , at an angle  α=40.0° above the horizontal

v₀x = vx = 30*cos40° = 22.98 m/s

v₀y = 30*sin40° = 19.28 m/s

y₀ = 2m

y =  18.0 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Calculation of the time (t) it takes for the rock to reach at  18 m above the ground

We replace data in the equation (2)

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² - 2g(y- y₀)    

(vfy)² = (19.28)² - 2(9.8)(18- 2)

(vfy)² = 371.86 - 313.6

(vfy)² = 58.26

v_{f} = \sqrt{58.26}

vfy = 7.63 m/s

We replace vfy = 7.63 m/s in the equation (2)

vfy = v₀y - gt

7.63 = 19.28 - (9.8)(t)

(9.8)(t) = 11.65

t = 11.65 / (9.8)

t = 1.19 s

Horizontal distance from where the rock was thrown to the window

We replace t = 1.19 s , in the equation (1)

x =  vx*t  

x = (22.98)* ( 1.19 )

x = 27.3 m

A 3.0kg mass tied to a string
dem82 [27]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Tension \ in \ the \ string \ (T) = 3 \ kN}

Given:

Mass (m) = 3.0 kg

Uniform speed (v) = 20 m/s

Length of string (r) = 40 cm = 0.4 m

To Find:

Tension in the string (T)

Explanation:

Tension (T) is the string will be equal to centripetal force (\sf F_c).

\boxed{ \bold{ T = F_c  =  \frac{m {v}^{2} }{r} }}

Substituting value of m, v & r in the equation:

\sf \implies T =  \frac{3 \times  {20}^{2} }{0.4}  \\  \\  \sf \implies T = \frac{3 \times 400}{0.4}  \\  \\  \sf \implies T =3 \times 1000 \\  \\  \sf \implies T =3000 \: N \\  \\ \sf \implies T =3 \: kN

\therefore

Tension in the string (T) = 3 kN

Will an atom emit light if all the atoms electrons are in the ground state
Oliga [24]

No,

To emit light an electron has to jump down to a lower energy level but in an electron is unable to go any lower in ground state.

A backpack weighs 8.2 Newtons and has a mass of 5 kilograms on the moon what is the strength of gravity on the moon
lions [1.4K]

i dont get it so much but

The weight of the bag pack is 8.2 N. g = 1.64 m/s2. Hence, the acceleration due to gravity on moon is 1.64 m/s2. sooo? is it right

The tungsten filament of a light bulb has an operating temperature of about 2 100 K. If the emitting area of the filament is 1.0
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

75 W

Explanation:

T = temperature of the filament = 2100 K

A = Emitting area of the filament = 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²

e = Emissivity = 0.68

\sigma = Stefan's constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ Wm⁻²K⁻⁴

Using Stefan's law, Power output of the light bulb is given as

P = \sigma e AT^{4} \\P = (5.67\times10^{-8}) (0.68) (10^{-4}) (2100)^{4}\\P = 75 W
