A. The cliff was 30.7 m high
B. I also got 9.5 as the horizontal distance

Here is my work, I find making charts like this one to find knowns and unknowns can be helpful

During normal beating, a heart creates a maximum 3.95-mV potential across 0.305 m of a person’s chest, creating a 0.75-Hz electr

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

E = 0.0130 V/m.

Explanation:

The electric field is related to the potential difference as follows:

$E = \frac{\Delta V}{d}$

Where:

E: is electric field

ΔV: is the potential difference = 3.95 mV

d: is the distance of a person's chest = 0.305 m

Then, the electric field is:

$E = \frac{\Delta V}{d} = \frac{3.95 \cdot 10^{-3} V}{0.305 m} = 0.0130 V/m$

Therefore, the maximum electric field created is 0.0130 V/m.

I hope it helps you!

A projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 60o above the horizontal. At what point in its trajectory does it have t

Elodia [21]

Answer:

It's constant everywhere in its trajectory.

Explanation:

the projectile was launched with an initial velocity, the only acceleration that is affecting the projectile's velocity is gravity.

The acceleration of gravity is practically equal everywhere on earth, so during its trajectory, we have to take into consideration only the acceleration because of gravity.

This is only correct because the projectile was launched with an initial velocity and it's not accelerating from rest and then falls.

Spidermans nemesis electro delivers 4kj of electrical energy in half a second how much power does it draw from the mains?

Elodia [21]

Power delivered = (energy delivered) / (time to deliver the energy)

Power delivered = (4,000 J) / (0.5 sec)

Power delivered = 8,000 watts

I'm a little surprised to learn that Electro draws his power from the mains. This is VERY good news for Spiderman ! It means that Spiderman can always avoid tangling with Electro ... all he has to do is stay farther away from Electro than the length of Electro's extension cord.

But OK. Let's assume that Electro draws it all from the mains. Then inevitably, there must be some loss in Electro's conversion process, between the outlet and his fingertips (or wherever he shoots his bolts from).

The efficiency of Electro's internal process is

(power he shoots out) / (power he draws from the mains) .

So, if he delivers energy toward his target at the rate of 8,000 watts, he must draw power from the mains at the rate of

(8,000 watts) / (his internal efficiency) .

A long straight wire has fixed negative charge with a linear charge density of magnitude 4.6 nC/m. The wire is to be enclosed by

Semmy [17]

Answer: -33.3 * 10^9 C/m^2( nC/m^2)

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the gaussian law, the we have:

Eoutside =0 so teh Q inside==

the Q inside= 4.6 nC/m*L + σ *2*π*b*L where L is the large of the Gaussian surface and b the radius of the shell.

Then we simplify and get

σ= -4.6/(2*π*b)= -33.3 nC/m^2

What is static and sliding friction

vodka [1.7K]

Static friction is the friction that exists between a stationary object and the surface on which it's resting.
frictional force occurs when you try to push an object alongside a surface.
