Answer:

  about 602 milliseconds

Explanation:

The motion can be approximated by the equation ...

  y = -4.9t^2 -22.8t +15.5

where t is the time since the arrow was released, and y is the distance above the ground.

When y=0, the arrow has hit the ground.

Using the quadratic formula, we find ...

  t = (-(-22.8) ± √((-22.8)^2 -4(-4.9)(15.5)))/(2(-4.9))

  = (22.8 ± √823.64)/(-9.8)

The positive solution is ...

  t ≈ 0.60195193

It takes about 602 milliseconds for the arrow to reach the ground.

Needing help with this please
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

So A we cant sadly do because we cant draw. B is going to be kinetic. Thats because static friction means it stays in one place, for kinetic it means moving. So it will be 0.05 as the coefficient of the friction. Sadly, I cannot calculate C. You will have to use trigonemetry but I cannot fit that big an explanation.

Answer to A: the free body diagram would be the ski things inclined with gravity, friction, and  air resistance. I except you know which directions

Answer to B: Kinetic friction is the answer.

Answer to C: Find on own, I cannot write super big explanations - use trigonometry.

g A particle is trapped in a 20 nm wide infinite potential well. What is the wavelength of the particle corresponding to n
malfutka [58]

Question:

A particle is trapped in a 20 nm wide infinite potential well. What is the wavelength of the particle corresponding to n = 7 in nm?

Answer:

<em></em>\lambda_n = 5.71\ nm<em></em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Given

L = 20nm --- the width

n = 7

Required

Determine the wavelength (\lambda)

This is calculated as:

\lambda_n = \frac{2L}{n}

Substitute values for L and n

\lambda_n = \frac{2*20nm}{7}

\lambda_n = \frac{40nm}{7}

\lambda_n = \frac{40}{7}nm

\lambda_n = 5.71428571\ nm

<em></em>\lambda_n = 5.71\ nm<em> --- approximated to 3 significant figures</em>
