A water balloon is thrown at 20 m/s from the top of a 20 m high building, what is its speed when it hits the ground? Does the an

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The final velocity is 28.14 m/s

Yes the angle of projection matters

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the water balloon, u = 20 m/s

height of the building, h = 20 m

let the final speed of the ball when it hits the ground = v

The final speed is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = (20)² + 2(9.8)(20)

v² = 400 + 392

v² = 792

v = √792

v = 28.14 m/s

Yes the angle matters, if the balloon had been dropped at a certain angle, the final velocity would have been estimated using the following formula;

$v_y^2 = u_y^2 sin^2(\theta) + 2gh_y$

where;

θ is the angle of projection, which accounts for the vertical component of the velocity.

In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 530 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.7 ns . When a sla

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

$\lambda'=78.086\ nm$

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength of light in the air, $\lambda=530\times 10^{-9}\ m$

time taken to travel from the source to the photocell via air, $t=16.7\ s$

time taken to reach the photocell via air and glass slab, $t'=21.3\times 10^{-9}\ s$

thickness of the glass slab, $x=0.87\ m$

<u>Now we have the relation for time:</u>

$\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

hence,

$t=\frac{d}{c}$

c= speed of light in air

$16.7\times 10^{-9}=\frac{d}{3\times 10^8}$

$d=16.7\times 10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^8$

$d=5.01\ m$

For the case when glass slab is inserted between the path of light:

$\frac{(d-x)}{c} +\frac{x}{v} =t'$ (since light travel with the speed c only in the air)

here:

v = speed of light in the glass

$\frac{(5.01-0.87)}{3\times 10^8} +\frac{0.87}{v} =21.3\times 10^{-9}$

$v=4.42\times 10^7\ m.s^{-1}$

Using Snell's law:

$\frac{\lambda}{\lambda'} =\frac{c}{v}$

$\frac{530}{\lambda'} =\frac{3\times 10^8}{4.42\times 10^7}$

$\lambda'=78.086\ nm$

What property of light is suggested by the formation of shadows

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The reflection and rectilinear propagation of light helps in the formation of shadows and also tells light doesn't penetrate opaque materials.

A toroidal solenoid has an inner radius of 12.0 cm and an outer radius of 15.0 cm . It carries a current of 1.50 A . Part A How

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The number of turns is $N = 1750 \ turns$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The inner radius is $r_i = 12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m$

The outer radius is $r_o = 15.0 \ cm = 0.15 \ m$

The current it carries is $I = 1.50 \ A$

The magnetic field is $B = 3.75 mT = 3.75 *10^{-3} \ T$

The distance from the center is $d = 14.0 \ cm = 0.14 \ m$

Generally the number of turns is mathematically represented as

$N = \frac{2 * \pi * d * B}{ \mu_o * r_o }$

Generally $\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with value

$\mu_o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} \ N/A^2$

So

$N = \frac{2 * 3.142 * 0.14 * 3.75 *10^{-3} }{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 0.15 }$

$N = 1750 \ turns$

A 59kg child starting from rest slides down a water slide with a vertical height of 5.0m. what is the child's speed halfway down

KIM [24]

<span>EP (potential energy) = mgy -> (59)(9.8)(-5) = -2,891
EP + EK (kinetic energy) = 0; but rearranging it for EK makes it EK = -EP, such that EK = 2891 when plugged in.
EK = 0.5mv^2, but can also be v = sqrt(2EK/m).
Plugging that in for sqrt((2 * 2891)/59), we get 9.9 m/s^2 with respect to significant figures.</span>
