Why is Vy negative and not positive because I solved it and it resulted in a positive number?

Explanation:

You are given the initial velocity, the displacement, and the acceleration.  You're looking for the final velocity.  So you use the equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

When you solve for v, you take the square root.  Your calculator will return a positive answer, but there are actually two possible answers: positive and negative.

v = ±√(v₀² + 2aΔy)

You must use the physical context of the problem.  If we take up to be the positive direction, then v must be negative, since the projectile is moving down.

If the radius of an atom is 60 pm and the radius of the Earth is 6000 km, by how many orders of
kherson [118]

Answer:

1 x 10¹⁷

               

Explanation:

Given data:

        Radius of the earth  = 6000km

        Radius of an atom  = 60pm

Now, how many orders is the radius of the earth larger than an atom

Solution:

To solve this problem, let us express both quantity as the same unit;

         1000m  = 1km

    6000km  = 6000 x 10³m   =  6 x 10⁶m

    60pm;

            1 x 10⁻¹²m  = 1pm

    60pm  = 60 x  1 x 10⁻¹²m  = 6 x 10⁻¹¹m

Now;

The order:   \frac{6 x 10^{6} }{6 x 10^{-11} }   = 1 x 10¹⁷

A toroidal coil of N turns has a central radius b and a square cross section of side a. Find its self-inductance.
Xelga [282]

Answer:

L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 (a^2)}{2\pi b}

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic field due to torroid is given as

B = \frac{\mu_0 N i}{2\pi b}

this is approximately constant magnetic field along the axis of the torroid

now the flux linked with one coil of the torroid is given as

\phi = B.A

\phi = \frac{\mu_0 N i}{2\pi b}(a^2)

now total flux of N number of coils is given as

\phi_{total} = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 i(a^2)}{2\pi b}

now we know that self inductance is the property of coil in which flux of the coil will link with the current in the coil

So we know that

L = \frac{\phi}{i}

L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 (a^2)}{2\pi b}

If the range of a projectile's trajectory is six times larger than the height of the trajectory, then what was the angle of laun
zvonat [6]

Answer:

H = 1/2 g t^2    where t is time to fall a height H

H = 1/8 g T^2   where T is total time in air  (2 t  = T)

R = V T cos θ       horizontal range

3/4 g T^2 = V T cos θ       6 H = R    given in problem

cos θ = 3 g T / (4 V)           (I)

Now t = V sin θ / g     time for projectile to fall from max height

T = 2 V sin θ / g

T / V = 2 sin θ / g

cos θ = 3 g / 4 (T / V)     from (I)

cos θ = 3 g / 4 * 2 sin V / g = 6 / 4 sin θ

tan θ = 2/3      

θ = 33.7 deg

As a check- let V = 100 m/s

Vx = 100 cos 33.7 = 83,2

Vy = 100 sin 33,7 = 55.5

T = 2 * 55.5 / 9.8 = 11.3 sec

H = 1/2 * 9.8 * (11.3 / 2)^2 = 156

R = 83.2 * 11.3 = 932

R / H = 932 / 156 = 5.97        6 within rounding

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statement is true?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Option (a) is correct.

Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.This is because of the force of gravity acting on the falling objects. so the velocity of these objects increases continuously as they approach the ground. the acceleration acting on the falling objects is a constant ( close to the surface of earth) and is called as acceleration due to gravity denoted by g. value of g=9.8 m/s².
