Answer:

Correct choice: b 4H

Explanation:

Conservation of the mechanical energy

The mechanical energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy GPE (U) and the kinetic energy KE (K):

E = U + K

The GPE is calculated as:

U = mgh

And the kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where:

m = mass of the object

g = gravitational acceleration

h = height of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

When the snowball is dropped from a height H, it has zero speed and therefore zero kinetic energy, thus the mechanical energy is:

$U_1 = mgH$

When the snowball reaches the ground, the height is zero and the GPE is also zero, thus the mechanical energy is:

$\displaystyle U_2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Since the energy is conserved, U1=U2

$\displaystyle mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \qquad\qquad [1]$

For the speed to be double, we need to drop the snowball from a height H', and:

$\displaystyle mgH'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2$

Operating:

$\displaystyle mgH'=4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2 \qquad\qquad [2]$

Dividing [2] by [1]

$\displaystyle \frac{mgH'}{mgH}=\frac{4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}{\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle \frac{H'}{H}=4$

Thus:

H' = 4H

Correct choice: b 4H

If Scobie could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 160.0 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long w

DochEvi [55]

Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.

To calculate the time that takes Scobie to drive around Earth's equator we need to find the distance, which is given by the equation of a circumference:

$d = 2\pi r$

Where:

r: is the Earth's radius = 6371 km

Then, the distance is:

$d = 2\pi r = 2\pi*6371 km = 40030.2 km$

Now, if we divide the above distance by the speed of the car we can find the time:

$t = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{40030.2 km}{160.0 km/h} = 250.2 h*\frac{1 d}{24 h} = 10 d$

Therefore, Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.

An object is dropped from rest from a 70.6 m tower. Air resistance is negligible. After 0.32 seconds, what is magnitude and dire

dem82 [27]

Answer:

1,378.9ms²

Explanation:

Given the following

Distance S = 70.6m

Time t = 0.32secs

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Required

Acceleration

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2at²

Substitute

70.6 = 0+1/2a(0.32)²

70.6 = 0.0512a

a = 70.6/0.0512

a = 1,378.9

Hence the acceleration is 1,378.9ms²

What is a microwave?

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength in the range 0.001–0.3 m, shorter than that of a normal radio wave but longer than those of infrared radiation. Microwaves are used in radar, in communications, and for heating in microwave ovens and in various industrial processes.

The time constant for RC circuit with the values of R1 and C1 is 5ms. What will be the time constant for a new RC circuit with t

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

d. 25 ms

Explanation:

In a RC circuit we call time constant to the product of the resistance times the capacitance, which represents the time when the charge reaches to the 63% of the final value, as follows:

$\tau_{1} = R_{1} *C_{1} = 5 ms (1)$

If we have a new circuit with new values for R and C, the time constant will be defined in the same way, as follows:

$\tau_{2} =10* R_{1} *0.5*C_{1} = 5*(R_{1}* C_{1}) = 5* \tau_{1} = 5* 5 ms = 25 ms (2)$
