Answer:

Gravitational force is the force of attraction in which body having certain mass in the universe attracts every other body which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

If the ball shown in the figure lands in 0.5 s, about what height was it thrown from?

Ede4ka [16]

Answer: 1.22 m

Explanation:

The equation of motion in this situation is:

$y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0$ is the final height of the ball

$y_{o}=h$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin(0\°)=0$ is the vertical component of the initial velocity (assuming the ball was thrown vertically and there is no horizontal velocity)

$t=0.5 s$ is the time at which the ball lands

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

So, with these conditions the equation is rewritten as:

$h=\frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (2)

$h=\frac{9.8 m/s^{2}}{2}(0.5 s)^{2}$ (3)

Finally:

$h=1.22 m$

Two charges, X and Y, are placed along the x-axis. Charge X is +18 nC and is placed at x = 0. Charge Y is placed at a location o

Helen [10]

Answer:

Charge Z can be placed at x = -2.7 m or at x = 0.27 m.

Explanation:

The Coulomb force between two charges, $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ , separated by a distance, $d$ , is given

$F = k\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}$

k is a constant.

For the charge Z to be at equilibrium, the force exerted on it by charge X must be equal and opposite to the force exerted on it by charge Y.

It is to be placed along the x-axis. Hence, it is on the same line as charges X and Y.

Let the charge on Z be Q. It is positive.

Let the distance from charge X be x m. Then the distance from charge Y will be (0.60 - x) m.

Force due to charge X

$F_X = k\dfrac{18Q}{x^2}$

Force due to charge Y

$F_Y = k\dfrac{-27Q}{(0.60-x)^2}$

Since both forces are equal and opposite,

$F_X = -F_Y$

$k\dfrac{18Q}{x^2} = -k\dfrac{-27Q}{(0.60-x)^2}$

$\dfrac{2}{x^2} = \dfrac{3}{(0.60-x)^2}$

$2(0.60-x)^2 = 3x^2$

$2(0.36-1.20x+x^2) = 3x^2$

$0.72-2.40x+2x^2 = 3x^2$

$x^2+2.40x-0.72 = 0$

Applying the quadratic formula,

$x = \dfrac{-2.40\pm\sqrt{2.40^2 - (4)(1)(-0.72)}}{2} = \dfrac{-2.40\pm\sqrt{8.64}}{2}$

$x = -2.7$ or $x = 0.27$

Charge Z can be placed at x = -2.7 m or at x = 0.27 m

Muons are elementary particles that are formed high in the atmosphere by the interactions of cosmic rays with atomic nuclei. Muo

uysha [10]

Answer:

Muons reach the earth in great amount due to the relativistic time dilation from an earthly frame of reference.

Explanation:

Muons travel at exceedingly high speed; close to the speed of light. At this speed, relativistic effect starts to take effect. The effect of this is that, when viewed from an earthly reference frame, their short half life of about two-millionth of a second is dilated. The dilated time, due to relativistic effects on time for travelling at speed close to the speed of light, gives the muons an extended relative travel time before their complete decay. So in reality, the muon do not have enough half-life to survive the distance from their point of production high up in the atmosphere to sea level, but relativistic effect due to their near-light speed, dilates their half-life; enough for them to be found in sufficient amount at sea level.
