(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) 140 degrees

First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the Ferris wheel. We know that its period is

T = 32 s

So the angular velocity is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{32 s}=0.20 rad/s

Assuming the wheel is moving at constant angular velocity, we can now calculate the angular displacement with respect to the initial position:

\theta= \omega t

and substituting t = 75 seconds, we find

\theta= (0.20 rad/s)(75 s)=15 rad

In degrees, it is

15 rad: x = 2\pi rad : 360^{\circ}\\
x=\frac{(15 rad)(360^{\circ})}{2\pi}=860^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}

So, the new position is 140 degrees from the initial position at the top.

B) 2.7 m/s

The tangential speed, v, of a point at the egde of the wheel is given by

v=\omega r

where we have

\omega=0.20 rad/s

r = d/2 = (27 m)/2=13.5 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting into the equation, we find

v=(0.20 rad/s)(13.5 m)=2.7 m/s

Which are uses for clay?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: Uses of clay are as follows.

  • Ceramics
  • Tile
  • Pottery
  • China dishes

Explanation:

Clay is a type of soil whose sediment consists of particles smaller than slit, that is, around 0.004 mm. This means that particles of a clay are very small.

A clay is soft and can be molded to different shapes easily.

Some uses of clay are as follows.

  • It is used to make ceramics.
  • It is used to make pottery like clay pot to store water in summers.
  • It is also used to make tile and china dishes.

Jason applies a force of 4.00 newtons to a sled at an angle 62.0 degrees from the ground. What is the component of force effecti
kaheart [24]
You want to draw a free body diagram of the forces on the sled in the horizontal x-direction.

If you visualize the system in an x-y coordinate plane, the force along the x-direction is the angle it makes with the x-axis multiples by the force.

The angle made with the x-axis is cosine of the angle theta.

Please see picture attached.
