An inquisitive physics student and mountian climber climbs a 47.2 m cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two sto

nes vertically downward, 0.8 s apart and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial velocity of 1.8 m/s. How long after release of the first stone do the two stones hit the water?

Answer:

The two stoned hit the water after 2.92s after the first stone satat to drop

Explanation:

We have this data:

x = distance = 47.2m

So = initial speed =  1.8m/s

A = In this case is equal to gravity = 9.8 m/s2

First we are going to calculate the final speed, We are going to use this equation

Sf^2= So^2 + (2*a*x)

Where Sf= final speed

We put the data

Sf^2= 928.36m^{2}/s^{2}

We need to calculate the square root

Sf= 30.47m/s

The final speed is 30.47m/s

The next steep is calculate the time that the first stone spend during its drop.

We are going to use the next equation

t=\frac{Sf-So}{a}

We put tha data

t=\frac{30.47m/s-1.8m/s}{9.8m/s^{2} }

t= 2.92s

We do not use 0.8s because we calculate all the things with the first stone, This stone spend more time that the second stone

The frequency of electromagnetic energy traveling through a medium can change if any of the following change EXCEPT: Select one:
agasfer [191]

Answer:

b. amplitude

Explanation:

An electromagnetic waveconsists of electrical oscillations and magnetic fields. The frequency of the wave is directly proportional to its energy and its speed and inversely proportional to its wavelength. Therefore, with the only magnitude with which it has no relation is with its amplitude.

Which of these would represent the force of gravity
tigry1 [53]

Missing figure: find it in attachment.

Answer:

Force D

Explanation:

In order to answer the question, let's keep in mind that the force of gravity on an object on Earth is the attractive force exerted by the Earth on the object; its direction is always downward (towards the Earth's centre), and its magnitude is given by

F = mg

where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of gravity.

It follows immediately that in the figure, the force of gravity is the only force acting downward: therefore, force D.

The other forces are called:

Force A: thrust (it is the forward force generated by the engines)

Force B: lift (it is the upward produced by the aerodynamics of the wings)

Force C: air resistance (it is the backward force due to the friction between the air and the surface of the plane)

Consider the baby being weighed in Figure 4.25.
Lunna [17]

The mass and tension due to the system are as follows:

  • The mass of the child and scale = 10.6 kg
  • The tension T, in the cord attaching the child to the scale = 104N
  • The tension T', in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling T' = 108.9 N

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

Tension is a type of pulling force due transmitted by means of a string or cable.

<h3>Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity</h3>

a) The mass of the child and scale = 104/9.81 = 10.6 kg

b) The tension T, in the cord attaching the child to the scale = scale reading = 104N

c) The tension T', in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling = scale reading + weight of scale

T' = 104 + (0.5 * 9.81)

T' = 108.9 N

d) The sketch is attached in the picture

In conclusion, the tension is force exerted on the cord due to the weight of the scale and the baby.

A uniform horizontal beam of weight 481 N and length 3.32 m has two weights hanging from it. One weight of 381 N is located 0.87
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

1143 N at 1.59 m from the left end

Explanation:

For the system to produce equilibrium, the total force and moment must be 0. Since the total weight downward is

481 + 381 + 281 = 1143 N

Therefore the magnitude of the force acting upward to balance this system must be the same of 1143 N

That alone is not enough, we also need the position of the force for the total moment to be 0.

Let x be the length from the this upward force to the left side. And let the left point be the point of reference for moment arm:

481 * 3.32/2 + 381 * 0.8798 + 281*(3.32 - 0.8798) - 1143*x = 0

x = (481*1.66 + 381 * 0.8798 + 281*2.4402)/1143 = 1.59m

Why must chemical rxn be balanced
Svetradugi [14.3K]

The chemical equation needs to be balanced so that it follows the law of conservation of mass. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side. Balancing chemical equations is a process of trial and error.
