Answer:

a) The range of the leap is 5.80 m.

b) The time that the greyhound is in the air is 0.600 s

Explanation:

The position of the greyhound is given by the position vector "r":

r =(x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time "t".

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial horizontal velocity.

y0 = initial vertical position

t = time.

α = leap angle.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

a) At the end of the leap, the position vector will be "r final" (see figure). The vector r final could be written as:

r final = (x, 0 m)

Where "x" is the range.

Then, using the equation for the vertical position we can obtain the time of flight of the leap. With that time, we can calculate the range using the equation for the horizontal position.

Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

0 m = 0 m + 10.1 m/s · t · sin 16.9° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 m = t (10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° - 4.9  m/s² · t)

0 m = 10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° - 4.9  m/s² · t

- 10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° / - 4.9  m/s²  = t

t = 0.600 s

The x-component of the vector "r final" will be:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 10.1 m/s · 0.600 s · cos 16.9°

x = 5.80 m

The range of the leap is 5.80 m.

b) The time that the greyhound is in the air is 0.600 s. It was calculated above using the equation for the y-component of the vector "r final".

What is the average power consumption in watts of an appliance that uses 5.00 kWh of energy per day? How many joules of energy d
denpristay [2]

Answer:

(A)  power  = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

(B)  energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

Explanation:

energy consumed per day = 5 kWh

(a) find the power consumed in a day

         1 day = 24 hours

        power = \frac{energy}{time}

        power = \frac{5}{24}

          power  = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

         

(b) find the energy consumed in a year

    assuming it is not a leap year and number of days = 365 days

     1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds

            energy = power x time

            energy = 208 x 31,536,000

            energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

The seismic activity density of a region is the ratio of the number of earthquakes during a given time span to the land area aff
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.0059

Explanation:

According to the question the seismic activity density is given by

\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{\text{Number of Earthquakes over a given time span}}{\text{The land area affected}}

Here,

Number of Earthquakes over a given time span = 424

The land area affected = 71300 mi²

So,

\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{424}{71300}\\\Rightarrow \text{Seismic activity density}=0.0059

The seismic activity density is 0.0059

(a) If a proton with a kinetic energy of 6.2 MeV is traveling in a particle accelerator in a circular orbit with a radius of 0.5
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The fraction of its energy that it radiates every second is 3.02\times10^{-11}.

Explanation:

Suppose Electromagnetic radiation is emitted by accelerating charges. The rate at which energy is emitted from an accelerating charge that has charge q and acceleration a is given by

\dfrac{dE}{dt}=\dfrac{q^2a^2}{6\pi\epsilon_{0}c^3}

Given that,

Kinetic energy = 6.2 MeV

Radius = 0.500 m

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}mr}

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{6.2\times10^{6}\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.67\times10^{-27}\times0.51}

a=2.32\times10^{15}\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the rate at which it emits energy because of its acceleration is

\dfrac{dE}{dt}=\dfrac{q^2a^2}{6\pi\epsilon_{0}c^3}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{dE}{dt}=\dfrac{(1.6\times10^{-19})^2\times(2.3\times10^{15})^2}{6\pi\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times(3\times10^{8})^3}

\dfrac{dE}{dt}=3.00\times10^{-23}\ J/s

The energy in ev/s

\dfrac{dE}{dt}=\dfrac{3.00\times10^{-23}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}\ J/s

\dfrac{dE}{dt}=1.875\times10^{-4}\ ev/s

We need to calculate the fraction of its energy that it radiates every second

\dfrac{\dfrac{dE}{dt}}{E}=\dfrac{1.875\times10^{-4}}{6.2\times10^{6}}

\dfrac{\dfrac{dE}{dt}}{E}=3.02\times10^{-11}

Hence, The fraction of its energy that it radiates every second is 3.02\times10^{-11}.

Soccer ball is heading east positive direction with momentum of 2kgm/s. It is kicked backwards and a fraction of a second later
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

-4.3 kgm/s

Explanation:

Impulse which the soccer ball experiences is equal to the change in momentum of a body.

It is given mathematically as:

Impulse = m*Δv = mv - mu

Initial momentum of soccer ball = 2 kgm/s

Final momentum of the soccer ball = -2.3 kgm/s

Therefore, Impulse will be:

Impulse = -2.3 - 2

Impulse = -4.3 kgm/s

The impulse put on the soccer ball by the kicker is -4.3 kgm/s.
