(NEED HELP PLEASE) A physics student goes to the roof of the school, 24.15 m above the ground, and drops a pumpkin straight down

with an initial velocity of 0 m/s. How long does it take for the pumpkin to hit the ground?

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the roof, h = 24.15 m

The initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0

We need to find the time taken for the pumpkin to hit the ground. Let the time be t. Using second equation of kinematics to find it as follows :

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, u = 0 and a = g

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 24.15}{9.8}} \\\\t=2.22\ s

So, it will take 2.22 s for the pumpkin to hit the ground.

A physics student skis down a hill, accelerating at a constant
ikadub [295]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

225 meters

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object in motion.

In our case we are given;

Acceleration, a = 2.0 m/s²

Time, t = 15 s

We are required to find the length of the slope;

Assuming the student started at rest, then the initial velocity, V₀ is Zero.

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the final velocity, Vf</h3>

Using the equation of linear motion;

Vf = V₀ + at

Therefore;

Vf = 0 + (2 × 15)

    = 30 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the student is 30 m/s

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the length (displacement) of the slope </h3>

Using the other equation of linear motion;

S = 0.5 at + V₀t

We can calculate the length, S of the slope

That is;

S = (0.5 × 2 × 15² ) - (0 × 15)

= 225 m

Therefore, the length of the slope is 225 m

A current of 16.0 mA is maintained in a single circular loop of 1.90 m circumference. A magnetic field of 0.790 T is directed pa
pav-90 [236]

Answer

given,

current (I) = 16 mA

circumference of the circular loop (S)= 1.90 m

Magnetic field (B)= 0.790 T

S = 2 π r

1.9 = 2 π r

r = 0.3024 m

a) magnetic moment of loop

    M= I A

    M=16 \times 10^{-3} \times \pi \times r^2

   M=16 \times 10^{-3} \times \pi \times 0.3024^2

   M=4.59 \times 10^{-3}\ A m^2

b)  torque exerted in the loop

 \tau = M\ B

 \tau = 4.59 \times 10^{-3}\times 0.79

 \tau = 3.63 \times 10^{-3} N.m

Which of the following best describes transverse waves?
den301095 [7]

Best Answer: perpendicular to the direction of wave motion

think of you and a friend holding different ends of a rope. you shake your end side to side and the wave travels down to your friend's end. if you pay attention to a given segment of the rope, it moves, but it moves to the right and left while the wave travels forward. in a transverse wave, the constituents of the wave move perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave itself.

a longitudinal wave, on the other hand, is the opposite. the constituents of the wave alternate moving in the same or opposite direction as the wave moves. this one is more like if you and your friend were holding onto a slinky. you give your end a push towards your friend, and you can see the wave move towards the other end.

hope that helps :D
