Time= 20 minutes= 20*60=1200 s
Charge=current*time=12*1200=14400 C

Two poles are connected by a wire that is also connected to the ground. The first pole is 20ft tall and the second pole is 10ft

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 31.6ft

Explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|

that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft

According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2

10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2

100 + 900 = |AC|^2

|AC| = √1000

|AC| = 31.6ft

Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.

A girl drops a stone from the top a tower 45m tall. At the same time, a boy standing at the base of the tower, projects another

Advocard [28]

Answer:

(i) The stones meet at 1.8 second

(ii) The point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.

Explanation:

(i)

First we consider the stone dropped by the girl. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 0 m/s (Since the stone was initially at rest)

t = Time Period

g = 10 m/s²

s₁ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₁ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₁ = (0)(t) + (0.5)(10)t²

s₁ = 5t² ----- equation (1)

Now, we consider the stone throne vertically upward by the boy. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 25 m/s

t = Time Period

g = - 10 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

s₂ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₂ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₂ = (25)(t) + (0.5)(-10)t²

s₂ = 25t - 5t² ----- equation (2)

At, the point where both the stones meet, the sum of distances covered by both stones must be equal to the height of building (i.e 45 m).

s₁ + s₂ = 45

using values from equation (1) and equation (2)

5t² + 25t - 5t² = 45

25t = 45

t = 45/25

t = 1.8 sec

(ii)

using this value of of t in equation (2)

s₂ = (25)(1.8) - (5)(1.8)²

s₂ = 28.8 m

using this value of of t in equation (1)

s₁ = (5)(1.8)²

s₁ = 16.2 m

Hence, the point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.

What best describes the volcanic process of magma with dissolved water vapor and other gases as it nears the Earth surface?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Pressure on the molten rock lessens and the gases dissolved in rock can bubble and expand rapidly causing violent eruptions.
