Answer:

Explanation:

There's an easy way to answer this and then an easier way. I'll do both since I'm not sure what you're doing this for: physics or calculus. Calculus is the easier way, btw.

Going with the physics version first, here's what we know:

a = -9.8 m/s/s

v₀ = 3.75 m/s

t = ??

That's not a whole lot...at least not enough to directly solve the problem. What we have to remember here is that at the max height of a parabolic path, the final velocity is 0. So we can add that to our info:

v = 0 m/s. Use the one-dimensional equation that utilizes all that info and allows us to solve for time:

v = v₀ +at and filling in:

0 = 3.75 + (-9.8)t and

-3.75 = -9.8t so

t = .38 seconds. This is how long it takes to get to its max height. Another thing we need to remember (which is why calculus is so much easier!) is that at the halfway point of a parabolic path (the max height), the object has traveled half the time it takes to make the whole trip. In other words, if .38 is how long it takes to go halfway, then 2(.38) is how long the whole trip takes:

2(.38) = .76 seconds. Now onto the calculus way:

The position function is

s(t)=-4.9t^2+3.75t The first derivative of this is the velocity function and, knowing that when the velocity is 0, the time is halfway gone, we will find the velocity function and then set it equal to 0 and solve for t:

v(t) = -9.8t + 3.75 and

0 = -9.8t + 3.75 and

-3.75 = -9.8t so

t = ,38 and multiply that by 2 to find the time the whole trip took:

2(.38) = .76 seconds.

Explain what the ionosphere is and how it interacts with some radio waves.
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

  • Ionosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere,extending from 60 km to 1,000 km altitude.
  • It mainly consists of ionized gases by the solar radiation.
  • It is very important layer to Earth because it influences the radio propagation to distant places on Earth.
  • Being ionized it reflects high frequency(shortwave) radio waves to the sky as well as to the Earth by a technique called "skip" or "skywave" propagation for the communication over long distances.

Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m = 940 kg , are launched into circular orbits around the Earth's center. Satellite
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The required work done is 6.5\times10^{9}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of each satellites = 940 kg

Altitude of A = 4500 km

Altitude of B = 11100 km

We need to calculate the potential energy

Using formula of potential

U_{A}=-\dfrac{Gm_{A}m_{E}}{r_{A}}

Put the value into the formula

U_{A}=-\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times940\times5.98\times10^{24}}{6.38\times10^{6}+4.50\times10^{6}}

U_{A}=-3.44\times10^{10}\ J

We need to calculate the potential energy

Using formula of potential

U_{B}=-\dfrac{Gm_{B}m_{E}}{r_{A}}

Put the value into the formula

U_{B}=-\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times940\times5.98\times10^{24}}{6.38\times10^{6}+11.10\times10^{6}}

U_{B}=-2.14\times10^{10}\ J

We need to calculate the value of k_{A}

Using formula of k_{A}

k_{A}=-\dfrac{1}{2}U_{A}

Put the value into the formula

k_{A}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times3.44\times10^{10}

k_{A}=1.72\times10^{10}\ J

We need to calculate the value of k_{B}

Using formula of k_{B}

k_{B}=-\dfrac{1}{2}U_{B}

Put the value into the formula

k_{B}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times2.14\times10^{10}

k_{B}=1.07\times10^{10}\ J

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

W=\Delta K+\Delta U

W=(k_{B}-k_{A})+(U_{B}-U_{A})

W=(-\dfrac{U_{B}}{2}+\dfrac{U_{A}}{2})+(U_{B}-U_{A})

W=\dfrac{1}{2}(U_{B}-U_{A})

Put the value into the formula

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times(-2.14\times10^{10}+3.44\times10^{10})

W=6.5\times10^{9}\ J

Hence, The required work done is 6.5\times10^{9}\ J

What is an example of a non contact force
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: Gravitational force

Explanation:

A non contact force can be described as a force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it.

For example, an object thrown upwards will return back due to the force of gravity acting on it. So, it means Gravitational force is acting on the body without necessarily being in contact with that body.
