Answer: It takes the stone 7seconds in air and 5seconds in water

Explanation: complete question: How long did the stone fall in air and how long did it fall in the water?

total distance = sum of velocity * time for both legs of the journey;

let the time taken in air be t

hence time taken in water is 12-t

127 = 16*t + 3(12-t)

127 = 16t + 36 - 3t

127 - 36 = 16t - 3t

91 = 13t

t = 91/13 = 7 seconds

Hence time taken in air = 7 seconds

time taken in water is 12 - 7 = 5 seconds

Answer:

The time it takes to travel in air is 7 seconds

The distance it travels in air is 112 m

The time it takes to travel in water is 5 seconds

The distance it travels in water is 15 m

Explanation:

Let t (s) be the time it takes for the stone to fall in the air. Since the total time is 12 s, then 12 - t is the time it takes to fall in the ocean before hitting the seabed.

The distance it would travel in air in t seconds at the rate of 16 m/s is 16t

The distance it would travel in water in 12 - t seconds at the rate of 3m/s is 3(12-t) = 36 - 3t

The total distance from the cliff to the seabed is 127m, which is 16t + 36 - 3t = 36 + 13t = 127

13t = 127 - 36 = 91

t - 91 / 13 = 7 seconds

The time it takes to travel in air is 7 seconds

The distance it travels in air is 7*16 = 112 m

The time it takes to travel in water is 12 - 7 = 5 seconds

The distance it travels in water is 5*3 = 15 m

A) A spaceship passes you at a speed of 0.800c. You measure its length to be 31.2 m .How long would it be when at rest?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a

$l_o =52 \ m$

b

$l = 37.13 \ LY$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the spaceship is $v = 0.800c$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0*10^{8} \ m/s$

The length is $l = 31.2 \ m$

The distance of the star for earth is $d = 145 \ light \ years$

The speed is $v_s = 2.90 *10^{8}$

Generally the from the length contraction equation we have that

$l = l_o \sqrt{1 -[\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Now the when at rest the length is $l_o$

So

$l_o =\frac{l}{\sqrt{ 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } } }$

$l_o =\frac{ 31.2 }{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.800c ) ^2}{c^2} } }$

$l_o=52 \ m$

Considering b

Applying above equation

$l =l_o \sqrt{1 - [\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Here $l_o =145 \ LY(light \ years )$

So

$l=145 * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v_s^2}{c^2 } }$

$l =145 * \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{2.9 *10^{8}}{3.0*10^{8}} }$

$l = 37.13 \ LY$

A sled of mass 2.12 kg has an initial speed of 5.49 m/s across a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between

Darya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.12 kg

Initial speed = 5.49 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.229

Distance = 3.89 m

We need to calculate the acceleration of sled

Using formula of acceleration

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

Where, F = frictional force

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{\mu mg}{m}$

$a=\mu g$

$a=0.229\times9.8$

$a=2.244\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the speed of the sled

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2-2as$

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

Put the value in the equation

$v ^2=(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89$

$v=\sqrt{(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89}$

$v=3.56\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s.

Given the following specific heat capacities, which material was have the largest change in temperature if 10 grams of each subs

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

You could calculate it out by assuming the same starting temperature for each substance. (You have to assume that the substances do start at the same temperature anyway).

That's like shooting 12 with 2 dice. It can be done, but aiming for a more common number is a better idea.

Same with this question.

You should just develop a rule. The rule will look like this

The greater the heat capacity the (higher or lower) the change in temperature.

The greater the heat capacity the lower the change in temperature

That's not your question. You want to know which substance will have the greatest temperature change given their heat capacities.

Answer

lead. It has the smallest heat capacity and therefore it's temperature change will be the greatest.
