Answer:

Comparison Microscope

Explanation:

The Comparison Microscope allows for comparison between two objects or samples by placing them side by side.

It is primarily used in criminology for ballistics which makes it ideal to find out if bullets, shells, or cartridge cases were fired from a specific weapon.

A football punker attempts to kick the football so that it lands on the ground 67.0 m from where it is kicked and stays in the a
Flauer [41]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. We will find the two components of velocity and finally by geometric and vector relations we will find both the angle and the magnitude of the vector. In the case of horizontal speed we have to

v_x = \frac{x}{t}

v_x = \frac{67}{4.5}

v_x = 14.89m/s

The vertical component of velocity is

-h = v_y t -\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Here,

h = Height

g = Gravitational acceleration

t = Time

v_y = Vertical component of velocity

-1.23 = v_y(4.5)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8)(4.5)^2

-1.23= 4.5v_y - 99.225

v_y = 21.77m/s

The direction of the velocity will be given by the tangent of the components, then

tan\theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{21.77}{14.89})

\theta = 55.59\°

The magnitude is given vectorially as,

|V| = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

|V| = \sqrt{14.89^2 +21.77^2}

|V| = 26.37m/s

Therefore the angle is 55.59° and the velocity is 26.37m/s

A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity ofthe ball the instant befo
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: The velocity of the ball is 30.0 m/s

This can be calculated by using the value of acceleration as 10.0 m/s2 in free fall and the given time of 3.0 seconds. To get the velocity, one will have to multiply the acceleration with the given time and the quotient would result to 30.0 m/s. Mostly all object regardless of their mass, fall to earth with the same acceleration in the absence of air resistance and as the child drops the ball from a window, it gains speed as it falls.

What is the tangential velocity of a record player which makes 11 revolutions in 20 seconds?
slava [35]

Answer:

The tangential velocity of a rotating object is:

v = r*w

where r is the radius, and w is the angular velocity.

w = 2*pi*f

where f is the frequency.

We know that the record plater does 11 revolutions in 20 seconds, then it does:

11 rev/20s = 0.55 rev/s = f

then we have:

w = 2*pi*0.55 s^-1 = 2*3.14*0.55 s^-1 = 3.454 s^-1

The radius of a record player is really variable, it is around 10 inches, so i will use r = 10in, which is the rotating part of the record player.

then the tangential velocity is:

v = 10in*3.454 s^-1 = 34.54 in/s

Awave has a period of 1. What is its frequency?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 1 unit

Explanation:

It is given that,

Period of the wave, T = 1 unit

We need to find the frequency of the wave. There exist an inverse relationship between period and the frequency of the wave. It is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}

Or

f=\dfrac{1}{T}

f=\dfrac{1}{1\ units}

f = 1 unit

So, the frequency of the wave is 1 unit. Hence, this is the required solution.
