Since the question above is looking for the SPEEd of the WAVE, the formula that should be used is SPEED = DISTANCE / TIME. You just need to substitute the distance (36 meters) and the time (15 seconds) to the formula. You should be able to get SPEED = 2.4 m/s.

Nata [24]

Answer:

a) 69.3 m/s

b) 18.84 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity = u

The vertical and horizontal components of the velocity is given by uᵧ and uₓ respectively

uᵧ = u sin 40° = 0.6428 u

uₓ = u cos 40° = 0.766 u

We're given that the horizontal distance travelled by the projectile rock (Range) = 1 km = 1000 m

The range of a projectile motion is given as

R = uₓt

where t = total time of flight

1000 = 0.766 ut

ut = 1305.5

The vertical distance travelled by the projectile rocks,

y = uᵧ t - (1/2)gt²

y = - 900 m (900 m below the crater's level)

-900 = 0.6428 ut - 4.9t²

Recall, ut = 1305.5

-900 = 0.6428(1305.5) - 4.9 t²

4.9t² = 839.1754 + 900

4.9t² = 1739.1754

t = 18.84 s

Recall again, ut = 1305.5

u = 1305.5/18.84 = 69.3 m/s

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The average current is 19.567 A

Solution:

As per the question:

Charge, Q = $8.0\times 10^{- 4}\ C$

Time, t = $35\times 10^{- 6}\ s$

Now,

We know that current is constituted by the rate of transfer of the charge per unit time. Thus we can write:

I = $\frac{Q}{t}$ (1)

Now, the charge that was transferred is 86 % of the original value.

Therefore,

We replace Q by 0.86Q in eqn (1):

I = $\frac{0.86\times 8.0\times 10^{- 4}}{35\times 10^{- 6}} = 19.657\ A$

The altitude of a hang glider is increasing at a rate of 6.75 m/s. At the same time, the shadow of the glider moves along the gr

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

16.45 m/s

Explanation:

Let y be the vertical distance and x be the horizontal distance

We are given that

The altitude of hang glider increasing at the rate= $v_y=\frac{dy}{dt}==6.75m/s$

The shadow of the glider moves along the ground at speed= $v_x=\frac{dx}{dt}=15m/s$

We have to find the magnitude of glider's velocity.

We know that

Magnitude of velocity= $v=\sqrt{v^2_x+v^2_y}$

Substitute the values

$v=\sqrt{(15)^2+(6.75)^2}$

$v=\sqrt{225+45.5625}$

$v=16.45m/s$

Hence, the magnitude of glider's velocity=16.45 m/s
