Answer:

4.11 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ₓ = 1.25 m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

v₀ᵧ = 0 m/s

aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²

t = 0.4 s

Find: v

First, in the x direction:

vₓ = aₓt + v₀ₓ

vₓ = (0 m/s²) (0.4 s) + 1.25 m/s

vₓ = 1.25 m/s

And in the y direction:

vᵧ = aᵧt + v₀ᵧ

vᵧ = (-9.8 m/s²) (0.4 s) + 0 m/s

vᵧ = -3.92 m/s

The net speed is found with Pythagorean theorem:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v² = (1.25 m/s)² + (-3.92 m/s)²

v = 4.11 m/s

How is lightning formed with explanation l?

creativ13 [48]

Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charger

An extension cord is used with an electric weed trimmer that has a resistance of 17.9 Ω. The extension cord is made of copper (r

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

(a) $R_{c}=0.87ohms$

(b) $V_{T}=114.44V$

Explanation:

Part (a)

The total length of copper cord L=86.3 m

The cross sectional area A=1.71×10⁻⁶m²

The resistivity of copper p=1.72×10⁻⁸Ω

Thus the resistance of extension cord is

$R_{c}=p\frac{L}{A}\\R_{c}=(1.72*10^{-8} )\frac{86.3}{1.71*10^{-6}}\\R_{c}=0.87ohms$

Part (b)

The resistance of trimmer Rt=17.9 ohms

When voltage of 120V is applied then the current I is passing through series circuit is

$I=\frac{120V}{R_{c} +R_{T} }\\I=\frac{120V}{0.87 +17.9 } \\I=6.4A$

Thus the voltage across the trimmer is:

$V_{T}=IR_{T}\\V_{T}=(6.4)*(17.9)\\V_{T}=114.44V$

Maslowich

Answer:

695800 N/m^2 or Pa

Explanation:

Height of the water from the ground H = 71 m

Acceleration due to gravity g =9.8 m/s^2

density of water ρ= 1000 kg/m^3

The minimum output gauge pressure to make water reach height H

P= ρgH

= 1000×9.8×71= 695800 N/m^2 or Pa

A car with a mass of 600 kg is traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

KE = 30,000 J

Explanation:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (600)(10)²

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (600)(100)

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (60000)

KE = 30,000 J
