<h2>Answer: 10.52m</h2><h2 />

First, we have to establish the <u>reference system</u>. Let's assume that the building is on the negative y-axis and that the brick was thrown at the origin (see figure attached).

According to this, the initial velocity V_{o} has two components, because the brick was thrown at an angle \alpha=61\º:

V_{ox}=V_{o}cos\alpha   (1)

V_{ox}=8.6\frac{m}{s}cos(61\º)=4.169\frac{m}{s}  (2)

V_{oy}=V_{o}sin\alpha   (3)

V_{oy}=8.6\frac{m}{s}sin(61\º)=7.521\frac{m}{s}   (4)

As this is a projectile motion, we have two principal equations related:

<h2>In the x-axis: </h2>

X=V_{ox}.t  (5)

Where:

X=10.1m is the distance where the brick landed

t is the time in seconds

If we already know X and V_{ox}, we have to find the time (we will need it for the following equation):

t= \frac{X}{ V_{ox}}  (6)

t=2.42s  (7)

<h2>In the y-axis: </h2>

-y=V_{oy}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}   (8)

Where:

y is the height of the building (<u>in this case it has a negative sign because of the reference system we chose)</u>

g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} is the acceleration due gravity

Substituting the known values, including the time we found on equation (7) in equation (8), we will find the height of the building:

-y=(7.521\frac{m}{s})(2.42s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}).(2.42s)^{2}   (9)

-y=-10.52m   (10)

Multiplying by -1 each side of the equation:

y=10.52m >>>>This is the height of the building

You have a piece of cork with a volume of 2 cm^3 and a density of 210kg/m^3. You hold it under water and release it.
insens350 [35]

I am sorry if it didn't helped

answers;

Calculate the buoyant force of a piece of cork of 8cm3 that floats in water. Density of cork is 207kg/m3. ?

I need the mass, in order to get the volume to apply t to the Buoyancy formula of: B=(W)object=(m)object(g)

Explanation:

From Archimedes Principle, any object partially or totally submerged in a fluid is buoyed upwards with a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

Any example of acceleration related to human body??? <br> answer quickly plz :)
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Acceleration stress, physiological changes that occur in the human body in motion as a result of rapid increase of speed. ... A force of 3 g, for example, is equivalent to an acceleration three times that of a body falling near Earth.

What does frequency describe?
ddd [48]

The whole definition of frequency is:  <em>How often something happens.  </em>

Especially referring to something that happens over and over and over and over.

One example is Choice-C: How often the particles of a medium vibrate.

"Frequency" comes from the word "frequent".  That means "often", and "frequency" just means "often-ness" ... HOW often the thing happens.

Some other examples:

Frequency of jump-roping . . . maybe 60 per minute .

Frequency of rain . . . maybe 5 per month .

Frequency of an AM radio station . . . maybe 1 million waves per second.

(If it's something <u><em>per second</em></u>, then we call it "Hertz".  That's not for the car rental company.  It's for Heinrich Hertz, the German Physicist who was the first one to prove that electromagnetic waves exist.  He sent radio waves all the way ACROSS HIS LABORATORY and detected them at the other side ( ! ), in 1887.)

Frequency of the wiggles in the sound wave coming out of a trumpet playing the note ' A ' . . . 440 Hertz.

Frequency of sunrise and the Chicago Tribune newspaper . . . 1 per day

Frequency of the cycle of Moon phases and an average human woman's ovulation cycle: 1 per 29.531 days, 1 per ~28 days .

A 94.7 kg horizontal circular platform rotates freely with no friction about its center at an initial angular velocity of 1.75 r
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The angular velocity of the platform is 1.114 rad/s.

Explanation:

Step 1:  Given data

Mass of the horizontal circular platform = 94.7 kg

Mass of the monkey = 21.1 kg

Initial angular velocity = 1.75 rad/s

A monkey drops a 9.25 kg bunch of bananas

They hit the platform at 4/5 of its radius from the center

Model the platform as a disk of radius 1.63 m

Step 2: Calculate the moment of inertia of the disk

I = ½ * m * r² = ½ * 94.7 * 1.63² = 125.80

Step 3: Calculate the initial angular momentum

I = 125.80 * 1.75 = 220.15

Step 4: Calculate the moment of inertia for the bananas

For the bananas, r = 4/5 * 1.63 = 1.304 m

I = 9.25 * 1.304² = 15.73

Step 5: Calculate Moment of inertia for the monkey

I = 21.1 * 1.63² = 56.06

Step 6: Total moment of inertia = 125.80 + 15.73 + 56.06 = 197.59

Step 7: Calculate final angular momentum = 197.59 * ω

197.59 * ω = 220.15

ω = 220.15 / 197.59

This is approximately 1.114 rad/s.
