Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

so here we have

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>

Bowen’s reaction series illustrates relations between:

C. Temperature, chemical composition and mineral structure

Explanation:

The Bowen's reaction series illustrates the relationship between temperature, chemical composition and mineral structure.

The series is made up of a continuous and discontinuous end through which magmatic composition can be understood as temperature changes.

  • The left part is the discontinuous end while the right side is the continuous series.
  • From the series, we understand that a magmatic body becomes felsic as it begins to cool to lower temperature.
  • A magma at high temperature is ultramafic and very rich in ferro-magnesian silicates which are the chief mineral composition of olivine and pyroxene. These minerals are predominantly found in mafic- ultramafic rocks. Also, we expect to find the calcic-plagioclase at high temperatures partitioned in the magma.
  • At a relatively low temperature, minerals with frame work structures begins to form . The magma is more enriched with felsic minerals and late stage crystallization occurs here.

PLEASEE I NEED HELP FAST!!! .Study the scenario.A small container of water with a low temperature is poured into a large contain
RSB [31]

Answer:

that best describes the process is C

Explanation:

This problem is a calorimeter process where the heat given off by one body is equal to the heat absorbed by the other.

Heat absorbed by the smallest container

             Q_c = m ce (T_{f}-T₀)

Heat released by the largest container is

              Q_a = M ce (T_{i}-T_{f})

how

        Q_c = Q_a

       m (T_{f}-T₀) = M (T_{i} - T_{f})

Therefore, we see that the smaller container has less thermal energy and when placed in contact with the larger one, it absorbs part of the heat from it until the thermal energy of the two containers is the same.

Of the final statements, the one that best describes the process is C

since it talks about the thermal energy and the heat that is transferred in the process

A BMX bicycle rider takes off from a ramp at a point 2.4 m above the ground. The ramp is angled at 40 degrees from the horizonta
adoni [48]

Answer:

The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position of the BMX is given by the position vector "r":

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

α = jumping angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

Please, see the attached graphic for a better understanding of the situation. At final time, when the bicycle reaches the ground, the vector position will be "r final" (see figure). The y-component of the vector "r final" is - 2.4 m (placing the origin of the frame of reference at the jumping point). With that information, we can use the equation of the y-component of the vector "r" (see above) to calculate the time of flight. With that time, we can then obtain the x-component (rx in the figure) of the vector "r final". Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-2.4 m = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° + 2.4 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 1.2 s

Now, we can calculate the x-component of the vector "r final" that is the horizontal distance traveled by the bicycle:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · 1.2 s · cos 40°

x = 5.4 m

The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.

Have a nice day!

A rocket initially at rest accelerates at a rate of 99. 0 meters/second2. Calculate the distance covered by the rocket if it att
creativ13 [48]

The rocket will cover 1 \times  10^3\rm \ m distance in 4. 5 s. Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as the change in speed or the direction of the object.

From kinamatic equation:

D = v_{t} +\dfrac 12at^2

Where,

D - final velocity =  445 m/s

v_0 -  initial valocity = 0 m/s

a - acceleration = 99. 0 m/s²

t - time =  4. 50 s

Put the values in the formula,

D = 0\times  ( 4.5) + \dfrac12\times (99)(4.5)^2\\\\D = 1002 {\rm \ m}\\\\D = 1 \times  10^3\rm \ m

Therefore, the rocket will cover 1 \times  10^3\rm \ m distance in 4. 5 s.
