Answer:

122.5m

Explanation:

Basic kinematics, negating drag and assuming ideal conditions, we use the equation:

d=vi*t+1/2*a*t^2

Since vi is 0 (we know this because you’re dropping it, not throwing it)…

…and the only acceleration acting on it is gravity, a=9.8 m/s^2…

…we get

d=1/2(9.8)(5)^2

Some quick mental math tells us that this is about 125 m.

Plugging it in, we find it to be 122.5 m.

A centrifuge used in DNA extraction spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm producing a "g-force" on the sample that is 6000 times th
defon

Answer:

A) a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) Δθ = 3665.2 rad

Explanation:

A) From Newton's first equation of motion, we can say that;

a = (ω - ω_o)/t. We are given that the centrifuge spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm.

Let's convert to rad/s = 7000 × 2π/60 = 733.04 rad/s

Thus change in angular velocity = (ω - ω_o) = 733.04 - 0 = 733.04 rad/s

We are given; t = 10 s

Thus;

a = 733.04/10

a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) From Newton's third equation of motion, we can say that;

ω² = ω_o² + 2aΔθ

Where Δθ is angular displacement

Making Δθ the subject;

Δθ = (ω² - ω_o²)/2a

At this point, ω = 0 rad/s while ω_o = 733.04 rad/s

Thus;

Δθ = (0² - 733.04²)/(2 × 73.304)

Δθ = -537347.6416/146.608

Δθ = - 3665.2 rad

We will take the absolute value.

Thus, Δθ = 3665.2 rad

Three point charges are arranged along the x-axis. Charge q1 = +3.00 uC is at the origin, and charge q2= -5.00 uC is at x= 0.200
artcher [175]
We have all the charges for q1, q2, and q3. 
Since k = 8.988x10^2, and N=m^2/c^2

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)

F(2on1) = k |q1 q2| / r(the distance between the two)^2
k^ | 3x10^-6 x -5 x 10^-6 |   / (.2m)^2
F(2on1) = 3.37 N

Since F1 is 7N,

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)
7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)

Since it wil be going in the negative direction,
-7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)
F(3on1) = -10.37N

F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| / r(the distance between the two)^2 
r^2 x F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| 
r = sqrt of k |q1 q3| / F(3on1) 
= .144 m (distance between q1 and q3)
0 - .144m 

So it's located in -.144m

A ray of light crosses a boundary between two transparent materials. The medium the ray enters has a larger optical density. Whi
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

Explanation:

- When a ray of light crosses a boundary between two different materials, it undergoes refraction: the ray changes direction, and it also changes speed, according to the relationship:

v=\frac{c}{n}

where v is the speed of the ray of light in the material, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, n is the index of refraction of the material, which is larger for a medium with larger optical density. So, from the equation, we see that the larger the optical density, the smaller the speed of the wave.

- The frequency of the light does not depend on the properties of the medium, so it remains unchanged: therefore the statement

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

is correct.

- Moreover, the wavelength of the ray of light is related to the speed and the frequency by the equation

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where v is the speed and f the frequency. Since we have seen that v decreases and f remains constant, this means that the wavelength decreases as well, so the statement

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

is also correct.
