A) 2.64t

B) 2.64h

C) 2.64D

Explanation:

A)

The motion of the athlete is equivalent to the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

The time of flight of a projectile can be found from the equations of motion, and it is found to be

t=\frac{2u sin \theta}{g}

where

u is the initial speed

\theta is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, when the athlete is on the Earth, the time of flight is t.

When she is on Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is:

g'=0.379 g

where g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. Therefore, the time of flight on Mars will be:

t'=\frac{2usin \theta}{g'}=\frac{2u sin \theta}{0.379g}=\frac{1}{0.379}t=2.64t

B)

The maximum height reached by a projectile can be also found using the equations of motion, and it is given by

h=\frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g}

where

u is the initial speed

\theta is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, when the athlete is on the Earth, the maximum height is h.

When she is on Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is:

g'=0.379 g

where g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. So, the maximum height reached on Mars will be:

h'=\frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g'}=\frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{(0.379)2g}=\frac{1}{0.379}h=2.64h

C)

The horizontal distance covered by a projectile is also found from the equations of motion, and it is given by

D=\frac{u^2 sin(2\theta)}{g}

where:

u is the initial speed

\theta is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, when the athlete is on the Earth, the horizontal distance covered is D.

When she is on Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is:

g'=0.379 g

where g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. Therefore, the horizontal distance reached on Mars will be:

D'=\frac{u^2 sin(2\theta)}{g'}=\frac{u^2 sin(2\theta)}{(0.379)g}=\frac{1}{0.379}D=2.64D

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Mike will receive an electric shock

Explanation:

Human body is a conductor of electricity. When lightning strikes rod and give it negative charge, the rod will dissipate its charge as soon as it comes in contact with earth via conduting material. Mike will receive a severe electric shock as negatice charge pass through his body to other rod and to the ground.His body will feel numb. He may also get unconscious.

Two representative elements are in the same period of the periodic table. Which statement correctly describes the atoms of the t
sveticcg [70]

1) They have valence electrons in the same energy level.

2) Helium atoms have 2 valence electrons, while atoms of the other elements in the group all have 8 valence electrons.

3) cesium (Cs)

4) There are two electrons in the first energy level and seven electrons in the second energy level.

In the periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number into groups and periods.

In the periodic table, we have an arrangement of atoms based on their respective groups and periods.

If I pick two representative elements in the same period, their number of valence electrons will differ by 1 but they will all be accommodated in the same energy level.

Helium is the first member of group 18. Unlike the other members of the group, its first shell is also its valence shell. It has two and not eight valence electrons like other members of the group.

The electronic configuration of Ca is [Ar] 4s², that of Li is [He] 2s1, that of Cs is [Xe] 6s1, that of Br is [Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁵ and that of oxygen is [He] 2s² 2p⁴.

We can see that only Cs has  valence electrons in higher energy orbitals than those of Ca.

Lastly, Fluorine is in group 17. There are nine electrons in this atoms. They arranged in such a way that there are two electrons in the first shell and seven electrons in the second shell.

A particular heat engine has a mechanical power output of 4.00 kW and an efficiency of 26.0%. The engine expels 8.55 103 J of ex
Ivahew [28]

To develop the problem we will start by finding the energy taken by each cycle through the efficiency of the motor and the exhausted energy. Later the work will be found for the conservation of energy in which this is equivalent to the difference between the two calculated energy values. Finally the estimated time will be calculated with the work and the power given,

\text{Efficiency of the heat engine} = \eta = 26\% = 0.26

\text{Energy taken in by the heat engine during each cycle} = Q_h

\text{Energy exhausted by the heat engine in each cycle} = Q_c = 8.55*10^3 J

\eta = 1 - \frac{Q_{c}}{Q_{h}}

0.26 = 1 - \frac{8.55\ast 10^{3}}{Q_{h}}

\frac{8.55* 10^{3}}{Q_{h}} = 0.74

Q_h = \frac{8.55*10^3}{0.74}

Q_h = 11.554*10^3J

PART A)

Work done by the heat engine in each cycle = W

W = Q_h-Q_c

W = 11.554*10^3J-8.55*10^3J

W = 3004J

According to the value given we have that,

P = 4.0kW

P = 4000W

Power is defined as the variation of energy as a function of time therefore,

P = \frac{W}{t}

4000W = \frac{3004J}{t}

t = \frac{3004}{4000}

t = 0.75s

Therefore the interval for each cycle is 0.75s
