Greg throws a 2.8-kg pumpkin horizontally off the top of the school roof in order to hit Mr. H's car. The car has parked a dista

nce of 13.4 m away from the base of the building below the point where Greg is standing. The building's roof is 10.4 m high. Assuming no air resistance, with what horizontal speed does Greg toss the pumpkin in order to hit Mr. H's car

Answer:

The horizontal velocity is v = 9.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the pumpkin is  m = 2.8 \ kg

      The distance of the the car from the building's base is  d = 13.4 \ m

       The height of the roof is h = 10.4 \ m

       

The height is mathematically represented as

         h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity which has a value of g =9.8 \ m/s^2

substituting values

          10.4= 0.5 * 9.8 * t

making the time taken the subject of the formula

         t = \frac{10.4}{0.5 * 9.8 }

          t = 1.457 \ s

The speed at which the pumpkin move horizontally can be represented mathematically  as

                         v = \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

                     v =\frac{13.4}{1.457}

                     v = 9.2 m/s

A small but bright light is at the bottom of a pool 2.2 m  deep. How wide is the circle of light that exits the surface of the
mixas84 [53]

Answer: 1.65m

Explanation:

Refractive index in terms of the depth of liquid is the ratio of the real depth to the apparent depth of the liquid i.e Refractive index =Real depth/apparent depth

Refractive index of water given = 1.33

Real depth is the measure of how deep is the liquid while apparent depth is the depth at the surface of the liquid.

Real depth = 2.2m

Apparent depth =?

Applying the formula above

Apparent depth =Real depth/refractive index

= 2.2/1.33

= 1.65m

Therefore, the circle of light that exits the surface of the water when that light shines in the middle of the night is 1.65m wide

The de Broglie wavelength of an electron traveling at 7.0 x 107m/s is 1.0 x 10-11m. (Remember that me = 9.1 x 10-31kg and h = 6.
ivolga24 [154]

The De Broglie's wavelength of a particle is given by:

\lambda=\frac{h}{p}

where

h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js is the Planck constant

p is the momentum of the particle


In this problem, the momentum of the electron is equal to the product between its mass and its speed:

p=m_e v=(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(7.0 \cdot 10^7 m/s)=6.4 \cdot 10^{-23} kg m/s

and if we substitute this into the previous equation, we find the De Broglie wavelength of the electron:

\lambda=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{6.4 \cdot 10^{-23} kg m/s}=1.0 \cdot 10^{-11} m


So, the answer is True.

Why is hydroelectric power considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy?
Radda [10]
Hydroelectric power is considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy because potential energy when the water is in the reservoir turns into kinetic energy making the water move to the dam and then the dam moves into the turbine turning it to electric energy.
