As they vibrate, they pass the disturbance of energy to the particles next to them, which passes the energy to the particles next to them, and so on.
Energy travels down the spring and reflected like the motion of a mass on a spring.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Particle motion is the superposition of a large component due to the fluid drag toward the filter barrier and a random component due to Brownian motion.

The particles of the medium just vibrate in place. As they vibrate, they pass the unsettling influence of energy to the particles beside them, which passes the energy to the particles by them, etc.

Energy goes down the spring and reflected like the movement of a mass on a spring.

A bullet is fired with a velocity of 100 m/s from the ground at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. Calculate the horizontal ra

seraphim [82]

1) The horizontal range of the bullet is 884 m

2) The maximum height attained by the bullet is 383 m

Explanation:

1)

The motion of the bullet is a projectile motion, which consists of two separate motions:

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

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction

From the equation of motions along the x- and y- directions, it is possible to find an expression for the horizontal range covered by a projectile, and it is:

$d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}$

where

u is the initial speed of the projectile

$\theta$ is the angle of projection

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

For the bullet in the problem, we have

u = 100 m/s (initial speed)

$\theta=60^{\circ}$ (angle)

Solving the equation, we find the horizontal range:

$d=\frac{(100)^2sin(2\cdot 60^{\circ})}{9.8}=884 m$

2)

To find the maximum height, we have to analyze the vertical motion of the bullet. We can do it by using the following suvat equation:

$v_y^2 - u_y^2 = 2as$

where

$v_y$ is the vertical velocity of the bullet after having covered a vertical displacement of $s$

$u_y$ is the initial vertical velocity

$a =-g=$ is the acceleration (negative, since it points downward)

The vertical component of the initial velocity is given by

$u_y = u sin\theta$

Also, the maximum height s is reached when the vertical velocity becomes zero,

$v_y =0$

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging for s, we find the maximum height:

$s=\frac{u^2 sin^2 \theta}{2g}=\frac{(100)^2(sin 60^{\circ})^2}{2(9.8)}=383 m$

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their

natta225 [31]

Answer:

5.0 m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal motion of the salmon is uniform, so the horizontal component of the salmon's velocity is constant and it is

$v_x = u cos \theta$

where u is the initial speed and $\theta=37.7^{\circ}$ . The horizontal distance travelled by the salmon is

$d=v_x t = (ucos \theta)t$

where d = 1.95 m and t is the time needed to reach the final point.

Re-arranging for t,

$t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{d}{u cos \theta}$ (1)

Along the vertical direction, the equation of motion is

$y=h+u_y t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where:

y = 0.311 m is the final height reached by the salmon

h = 0 is the initial height

$u_y = u sin \theta$ is the vertical component of the initial velocity of the salmon

$g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting t as found in eq.(1), we get the equation

$y=(u sin \theta) \frac{d}{u cos \theta}- \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}$

and we can solve this formula for u, the initial speed of the salmon:

$y=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}\\\\u=\sqrt{\frac{gd^2}{2(dtan \theta -y)cos^2 \theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.81)(1.95)^2}{2((1.95)(tan 37.7^{\circ}) -0.311)cos^2 37.7^{\circ}}}=5.0 m/s$

The flow of electrons through a circuit is measured in which of the following units? A. electrical pressure B. amperes C. volts

damaskus [11]

The total quantity of electrons that have flowed through a circuit is a
quantity of charge, measured in Coulombs, or in Ampere-seconds.

The <em><u>rate</u></em> of flow of electrons, or more accurately the rate of flow of
the charge on them, is electrical current. Its unit is the Ampere.
1 Ampere is 1 Coulomb of charge per second.
