How long does it take for an 8 kg pumpkin to hit the ground if dropped from a height of 55 m.

Physics

Sati [7]3 years ago

Answer:

t = 3.35 s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a pumpkin, m = 8 kg

It is dropped from a height of 55 m

We need to find the time taken by it to hit the ground.

Initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0

Using second equation of motion to find it as follows :

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2(55)}{9.8}} \\\\t=3.35\ s

So, it will take 3.35 seconds to hit the ground.

A layer of oil (n = 1.38) floats on an unknown liquid. A ray of light originates in the oil and passes into the unknown liquid.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

Explanation:

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 65.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( 53.0° )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (unknown liquid, n=?)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (oil, n=1.38)

Hence,  

1.38\times {sin65.0^0}={n_r}\times{sin53.0^0}

Solving for {n_r},

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

John, paul, and george are standing in a strawberry field. paul is 14.0 m due west of john. george is 36.0 m from paul, in a dir
sdas [7]

Position of paul with respect to john is given as

14 m due west of john

r_{pj} = r_p - r_j = -14\hat i

position of George with respect to Paul is given as 36 m in direction 37 degree south of east

r_{GP} = r_G - r_p = 36cos37\hat i - 36 sin37\hat j

now we need to find the position of George with respect to John

r_{GJ} = r_G - r_j[\tex]now for the above equation we can add the two equations[tex]r_{Gj} = -14\hat i + 36 cos37\hat i - 36sin37\hat j

r_{Gj} = 14.75\hat i - 21.67\hat j

so the magnitude is given as

r = \sqrt{14.75^2 + 21.67^2} = 26.2 m

and direction is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{21.67}{14.75}= 55.75 degree

<em>so it is 26.2 m at an angle 55.75 degree South of east</em>
