Physics
1 answer:
storchak [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1.35 m

Explanation:

Taking down to be positive, given:

Δx = Δy / tan 30.0º

v₀ₓ = 4.50 m/s

v₀ᵧ = 0 m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = 10 m/s²

Find: Δy

First, find the time it takes to land in terms of Δy.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s) t²

Δy = 5t²

Next, find Δx in terms of t.

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (4.50 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s) t²

Δx = 4.50t

Substitute:

Δy = 5 (Δx / 4.50)²

20.25 Δy = 5 (Δx)²

4.05 Δy = (Δx)²

4.05 Δy = (Δy / tan 30.0º)²

4.05 Δy = 3 (Δy)²

1.35 = Δy

The basketball was thrown from an initial height of 1.35 m.

A cat chase a mouse across a 1.0 m high table. The mouse steps out of the way, and the car slides off the table and strikes the
Tema [17]

The cat fell 1.0 m from the ground.

Using the formula

h = v_{oy}t - \frac{gt^2}{2}

Here, v_{oy} = 0, \; h = 1.0 \; m.

Solving for t, the time it spent in the air is

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2(1.0 \; m)}{9.8 \; m/s^2}} = 0.451753951 \; s

The cat does not accelerate along the horizontal, so it has constant horizontal velocity. Since it strikes the floor 2.2 m from the table, then

v_x = \Delta x/t = \frac{2.2\; m}{0.451753951 s} = 4.869907597 \; m/s \Rightarrow 4.9 \; m/s

Why does the frequency of a siren get higher as an ambulance using that siren gets closer?
Archy [21]
The answer is D. As the ambulance gets closer, the sound waves are compressed relative to the person; so the frequency increases.

A polarized Light of intensity I0 is incident on an analyzer. What should the angle between the axis of polarization of the ligh
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The the angle between the axis of polarization of the light and the transmission axis of the analyzer is 52⁰.

Explanation:

Given;

I₀  as incident light intensity

The intensity of a linearly polarized light passing through a polarizer is given by Malus' law:

I = I₀Cos²θ

where;

I is the intensity after passing through the analyzer

θ is the the angle between the axis of polarization of the light and the transmission axis of the analyzer.

If 38% of the total intensity is transmitted, then I = 38% of I₀ = 0.38I₀

0.38I₀ = I₀Cos²θ

0.38 = Cos²θ

Cosθ = √0.38

Cosθ = 0.6164

θ  = Cos⁻¹ (0.6164)

θ  = 51.95° = 52⁰

Therefore, the angle between the axis of polarization of the light and the transmission axis of the analyzer to allow 38% of the total intensity to be transmitted is 52⁰.

You are making raised beds for a productive vegetable garden and have 4 boxes that are 1m x 2m x 1m deep. What volume of dirt (i
Nady [450]

Answer:

8 m³

282.3 ft³

Explanation:

The volume of each box is width times length times depth:

V = (1 m) (2 m) (1 m)

V = 2 m³

There are four boxes, so the total volume is:

4V = 8 m³

Converting to cubic feet:

8 m³ × (3.28 ft / m)³

= 282.3 ft³

When sound waves interfere to create standing waves, the points on the medium that move up and down with the largest amplitudes
malfutka [58]
The correct answer is: Anti-nodes.

Explanation:

When the interference between the two waves is constructive and the <span>points on the wave that undergo the maximum displacement during each vibrational cycle </span><span>of the standing wave </span>back and forth. Those points are called anti-nodes. Hence, in the case of sound waves, interference creates standing waves, and the points on the medium that move up and down with the highest amplitudes are called anti-nodes.
