A student throws a set of keys vertically upward to his fraternity brother, who is in a window 3.95 m above. the brother's outst

retched hand catches the keys 1.75 s later. (take upward as the positive direction. indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) with what initial velocity were the keys thrown?

Answer: Vo = 10.84 m/s


Explanation:


1) Data:


d = 3.95m

t = 1.75s

g = 9.81 m/s²

Vo = ?


2) Formula


Vertical motion ⇒ d = Vo×t - g×t² / 2


3) Solution


Clearing Vo, you get:


Vo = [ d + gt² / 2] / t


⇒ Vo = [ 3.95m + 9.81 m/s² (1.75s)² / 2 ] / 1.75s = [3.95m + 15.02m] / 1.75s


Vo = 18.97 m / 1.75s = 10.84 m/s

The index of refraction of a type of glass is 1.50, and the index of refraction of water is 1.33. If light enters water from thi
Damm [24]

Answer:

Option C - the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence

Explanation:

Snell's law of refraction states that;

n1 sinθ1 = n2 sinθ2

Where;

n1 is refractive index of incidence medium

θ1 is angle of incidence

n2 is Refractive index of refraction medium

θ2 is angle of refraction

For This question, n1 = 1.5 and n2 = 1.33

Thus;

1.5 sinθ1 = 1.33 sinθ2

Rearranging, we have;

sinθ1/sinθ2 = 1.33/1.5

We know from trigonometry, that sin 0 = 0 and sin 90 = 1. So, as θ approaches 0°, the value of sinθ decreases while as it approaches 90°,the value of sinθ increases.

Thus, by inspection, we can say that the value of the denominator is higher than the numerator.

Thus, θ2 is greater than θ1

So, the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence

a refridgerator has a coefficient of performance equal to 4.2 how much work must be done on the refridgerator in order to remove
anastassius [24]

Answer:

60 J

Explanation:

Given That

Coefficient of performance, CoP = 4.2

Quantity of heat of the refrigerator, Q = 250 J

Work done by the refrigerator, W = ?

First, it should be noted that the Coefficient of Performance can be said to be, the ratio of the Heat required to the Work done by the system. Mathematically written as,

CoP = Q / W

Since we are already given the values from our question, we can plug it in as it's a pretty straightforward question

4.2 = 250 / W, making W subject of formula, we have

W = 250 / 4.2

W = 60J

Thus, the Work done by the refrigerator is 60 J

An arrow is shot at 28.0° above the horizontal. Its initial speed is 50 m/s and it hits the target.
fomenos
<span> <span>We will need to work with the components of the velocity, in the x and the y direction. We will say up is positive so g is -9.81 m/s^2. 

Given that the angle was 32 degrees: 

Velocity up (in the y direction) is 55 m/s * sin 32 = 29.15 m/s 
And 

Velocity forward (in the x direction) is 55 m/s * cos 32 = 46.64 m/s 

The acceleration of gravity, -9.81 m/s2 continuously decreases the velocity in the y direction. At the maximum height, the velocity will be zero. This should make sense, for as soon as the decreasing velocity becomes negative, the arrow will start to fall. 

We have v = v(0) + at 

And we set this to zero and solve for t: 

0 = 29.15 + -9.81t 

9.81t = 29.15 

t = 2.97 seconds 

To calculate height at this point, we use the equation that calculates position based on time, acceleration, and initial velocity (we could use an alternate too, an equation derived from the one we are now using and v = v(0) + at. 

x = x(0) + v(0)t + (1/2)at^2 

x = 0 + 29.15 * 2.97 + 0.5 9.81 (2.97)^2 

x = 43.30 m 

For a projectile, the plot of distance traveled in the upward direction is a parabola, and it takes the same amount of time to come down as it did to go up. 

We can double 2.97 to get the time of impact on the target at 2(2.97) = 5.94 seconds 

(Alternately, if you like, you can solve 

0 = 0 + 29.15t + 0.5 9.81 t^2 

And find that the two roots are 0 and 5.94). 

http://www.math.com/students/calculators... will do the quadratic for you. 

Given a horizontal velocity of 46.64 m/s, we can calculate 

46.64 m/s (5.94 s) = 277 m for the distance of the target.</span></span>

A car of mass 1270 kg makes a 15.0 m radius turn at 11.8 m/s on flat ground. How much centripetal force acts on it?
svp [43]

Answer:

Centripetal force = 11789 N

Explanation:

Recall that the centripetal acceleration is defined as the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius of the circular rotation. Then for our case, the centripetal acceleration is:

ac = (11.8 m/s)^2 / 15 m = 9.28266 m/s^2

then, such acceleration on a mass of 1270 kg will render a centripetal force of:

Fc = m * ac = 1270 * 9.28266 N = 11789 N
