Answer:

Horizontal distance=?m

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity,u=482ms⁻¹

Height of the cliff=17.7m

Horizontal distance,R=?

R=v×√2h/g

On Earth, a spring stretches by 5.0 cm when a mass of 3.0 kg is suspended from one end.

Neko [114]

Answer:

Mass = 18.0 kg

Explanation:

From Hooke's law,

F = ke

where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.

But, F = mg

So that,

mg = ke

On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/ $s^{2}$ .

3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0

30 = 5k

⇒ k = $\frac{30}{5}$ ................ 1

On the Moon, the gravitational force is $\frac{1}{6}$ of that on the Earth.

m x $\frac{10}{6}$ = k x 5.0

$\frac{10m}{6}$ = 5k

⇒ k = $\frac{10m}{30}$ ............. 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

$\frac{30}{5}$ = $\frac{10m}{30}$

m = $\frac{900}{50}$

= 18.0

m = 18.0 kg

The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.

Given three different locations on Earth's surface, where will the weight of a person be greatest?

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we simply have to refer to the laws of the equations of gravitational mechanics.

The equation given by Newton tells us that

$F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

In the case where we compare a specific place where the Force of Gravity is greater or lesser, we focus on the term assigned to the Planet's Radius.

In the case of $G, m_{1} ,m_{2}$ , we understand that they are constant.

We can easily notice that the more the Radius (Height seen from a viewer on the ground), the lower the force will be.

In other words, the smaller the radius in which the measurement is made with respect to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational force.

In that order of ideas the smallest radio has South Pole, which is about 6356 km from the center of the Earth on the Equator line

One of the factors that determines the ? of a capacitor is the frequency measured in hertz.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The reactance of the capacitor

Explanation:

In an AC circuit containing different elements (capacitors, resistors and inductors), we cannot simply calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit, so another quantity is used, which is called reactance.

For a capacitor, the reactance is given by:

$X=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}$

where:

f is the frequency of the AC current in the circuit

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

The reactance has a similar meaning to that of the resistance for a DC current. In fact, we notice that:

- When f=0 (which means we are in regime of DC current, because the current never changes direction), the reactance is infinite. This is correct: in a DC circuit, the capacitor does not let current pass through it, so it like it has infinite resistance (=infinite reactance)

- When f tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero: in such situation, the current in the circuit changes direction so quickly that the capacitor has no enough time to "block" the current in the circuit, so it like it has almost zero resistance (zero reactance).

How could you test the hypothesis that elephants interpreted the ground signal as being farther away than the air signal?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.

The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values between

wood 3900 m / s

concrete 4000 m / s

fabrics 1540 m / s

earth 5000 m / s wave S

ground 7000 m / s P wave

we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.

A 20.0 kg crate sits at rest at the bottom of a 15.0-m-long ramp that is inclined at 34.0° above horizontal. A constant horizont

ankoles [38]

Answer:

987 joules, 3.01s

Explanation:

(A)

from the attached diagram

net force, Fnet, pulling the crate up the ramp is given by

Fnet = FcosФ - WsinФ - Fr

where FcosФ is the component of horizontal force 290N resolved parallel to the plane

WsinФ = mgsinФ = component of the weight of the crate resolved parallel to the plane

Fr = constant opposing frictional force

Fnet = 290cos34⁰ - 20 × 9.8 × sin34° - 65

Fnet = 240.421 - 109.602 - 65

Fnet = 65.82N

Work done on the crate up the ramp, W, is given by

W = Fnet × d (distance up the plane)

W = 65.819 × 15

W = 987.285 joules

W = 987 joules (to 3 significant Figures)

(B)

to calculate the time of travel up the ramp

we use the equation of motion

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

where s = distance up the plane, 15m

u = Initial velocity of the crate, which is 0 for a body that is initially at rest

a = acceleration up the plane, given by

$a = \frac{Fnet}{m}$

where m = mass of the crate, 20 kg

now, $a = \frac{65.819}{20} \\a = 3.291\frac{m^{2} }{s}$

from, $s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

$15 = 0*t + \frac{1}{2}* 3.291 * t^{2}$

15 = 0 + 1.645 $t^{2}$

15 = 1.645 $t^{2}$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{15}{1.645} }$

$t = 3.019$

t = 3.01s (to 3 sig fig)
