A package is dropped from an air balloon two times. In the first trial the distance between the balloon and the surface is Hand

enyata [817]

Answer:

The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

If an object is dropped in the air, it starts a vertical movement with an acceleration equal to g=9.8 m/s^2. The speed of the object after a time t is:

$v=gt$

And the distance traveled downwards is:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

If we know the height at which the object was dropped, we can calculate the time it takes to reach the ground by solving the last equation for t:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Replacing into the first equation:

$\displaystyle v=g\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Rationalizing:

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{2gy}$

Let's call v1 the final speed of the package dropped from a height H. Thus:

$\displaystyle v_1=\sqrt{2gH}$

Let v2 be the final speed of the package dropped from a height 4H. Thus:

$\displaystyle v_2=\sqrt{2g(4H)}$

Taking out the square root of 4:

$\displaystyle v_2=2\sqrt{2gH}$

Dividing v2/v1 we can compare the final speeds:

$\displaystyle v_2/v_1=\frac{2\sqrt{2gH}}{\sqrt{2gH}}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle v_2/v_1=2$

The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.

How much would a 15.0 kg object weigh on Neptune?

yan [13]

The gravity on Neptune is 11.15 m/s²
the gravity on earth is 9.81 m/s²
divide the Neptune and earth gravity we get 1.13
which means object on neptune is 1.13 heavier than earth
yield, weigh of the object on neptune is 1.13×15=17.04kg

A long straight wire carries a conventional current of 0.7 A. What is the approximate magnitude of the magnetic field at a locat

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

2.64 x 10⁻⁶T

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic field produced by a long straight wire carrying current is given by Biot-Savart law as follows: "The magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the current on the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire". This can be written mathematically as;

B = (μ₀ I) / (2π r) ----------------(i)

B is magnetic field

I is current through the wire

r is the distance from the wire

μ₀ is the magnetic constant = 4π x 10⁻⁷Hm⁻¹

From the question;

I = 0.7A

r = 0.053m

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

B = (4π x 10⁻⁷ x 0.7) / (2π x 0.053)

B = 2.64 x 10⁻⁶T

Therefore the approximate magnitude of the magnetic field at that location is 2.64 x 10⁻⁶T
