Answer:

v = 25.45 m/s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the initial speed of the object, you take into account the formula for the maximum height reaches by the object. Such a formula is given by:

h_{max}=\frac{v_o^2}{g}   (1)

vo: initial speed of the object = 18 m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

Furthermore you use the following formula for the final speed of the object:

v^2=v_o^2-2gh       (2)

h: height

You know that the speed of the object is 18m/s when it reaches one fourth of the maximum height. You use this information, and you replace the equation (1) in to the equation (2), as follow:

v^2=v_o^2-2g(\frac{h_{max}}{4})=v_o^2-\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{v_o^2}{g})\\\\v^2=v_o^2-\frac{1}{2}v_o^2=\frac{1}{2}v_o^2

Then, you solve the previous result for vo:

v_o=\sqrt{2}v=\sqrt{2}(18m/s)=25.45\frac{m}{s}

The initial speed of the object was 25.45 m/s

Setler [38]

Answer:

a)  M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg ,  b)   T = 1.43 10³ s

Explanation:

a) This exercise should be solved in several parts, let's start by calculating the acceleration of gravity of this planet from kinematics

          v = v₀ - a t

As it indicates that there is no atmosphere, the friction force is zero and the initial and final velocity have the same module, but the opposite direction

         a = (v₀ - v) / t

         a = (15 - (-15)) /9.00 = 30/9

         a = 3.33 m / s²

Now we use Newton's second law where force is the force of universal attraction

          F = m a

         G m M / r² = m a

         M = a r² / G

Let's calculate

         M = 3.33 (1.00 10⁵)² / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

         M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg

b) The period of the ship's orbit

In this case we have a centripetal acceleration

The radius of the orbit is the radius of the plant plus the height of the ship from the surface

         R = R_{m} + h

         R = 1 10⁵ + 2.00 10⁴

         R = 12 10⁴ m

         F = m a

        G m M / R² = m a

Centripetal acceleration is

         a = v² / R

The orbit is circular therefore the velocity module is constant, so we can use the equation of uniform motion, where the distance is the length of the orbit, for a circle

        d = 2π R

        v = d / t

        v = 2π R / T

Let's replace

        G m M / R² = m (2π R / T)² / R

        G M = R³ 4π² / T²

        T² = 4π² R³ / G M

       T² = (4π² (12 10⁴)³ / (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 4,997 10²⁰)

       T² = 6.82 10¹⁶ / 3.33 10¹⁰

       T = √ (2,048 10⁶)

       T = 1.43 10³ s

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level
Genrish500 [490]
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.

A magnetic field is uniform over a flat, horizontal circular region with a radius of 1.50 mm, and the field varies with time. In
atroni [7]

Answer:

The average induced emf around the border of the circular region is 8.48\times 10^{-5}\ V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of circular region, r = 1.5 mm

Initial magnetic field, B = 0

Final magnetic field, B' = 1.5 T

The magnetic field is pointing upward when viewed from above, perpendicular to the circular plane in a time of 125 ms. We need to find the average induced emf around the border of the circular region. It is given by the rate of change of magnetic flux as :

\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=A\dfrac{-d(B'-B)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\pi (1.5\times 10^{-3})^2\times \dfrac{1.5}{0.125}\\\\\epsilon=8.48\times 10^{-5}\ V

So, the average induced emf around the border of the circular region is 8.48\times 10^{-5}\ V.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The correct one is that the force on B is half of the force on A

Explanation:

Because radius for the inside of the curve is half the radius for the outside and Car A travels on the inside while car B, travels at equal speed on the outside of the curve. Thus force on B will be half on A

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

E=(σ/ε0)

As noted by Dirac the field is the same no matter how far you are from the sheet. When your charge covers a conducting plane, as in your case, the field is, D/eo ,(D is charge density). Because the field inside the conductor (no matter how thin) is zero. The only time the field is, D/2eo, is when you have just a sheet of charge, by itself, not on a conducting plane."
