The available options are:

Mint is a dicot.

Mint is a monocot.

Mint is an angiosperm.

Mint is a bulb plant.

Answer:

Mint is a dicot.

Explanation:

Given the fact that Mint is considered to be a member of Lamiaceae, an angiosperm plant which is characterized by typically having leaves that consist of reticulate vacation and appears like veins in structure. It also has a seed that contains two cotyledons.

Hence, it is considered a DICOT PLANT due to these characteristics. The botanical name of Mint is referred to as Mentha arvensis.

Elect the correct answer. Two identical projectiles, A and B, are launched with the same initial velocity, but the angle of laun

allsm [11]

Answer:

A. The range of A and B are equal.

Explanation:

Let u be the initial speed of both the projectile.

The gravitational force acting in the projectile is in the downward direction, sp the speed of the projectile in the horizontal direction remains constant and equals to the initial horizontal speed.

For projectile, a projectile having initial velocity u at an angle \theta with the horizontal direction,

The speed in the horizontal direction $= u\cos\theta$

and the speed in the vertical direction is $= u\sin\theta$ upward.

For A:

The speed in the horizontal direction $= u\cos75^{\circ}$

and the speed in the vertical direction is $= u\sin75^{\circ}$ upward.

For B:

The speed in the horizontal direction $= u\cos15^{\circ}$

and the speed in the vertical direction is $= u\sin15^{\circ}$ upward.

Let $t_A$ and $t_B$ are the time of flight for projectile A and B respectively.

As the range is the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile, so

The range for the projectile A $= u\cos75^{\circ}\times t_A\cdots(i)$

The range for the projectile B = $u\cos15^{\circ}\times t_B\cdots(ii)$

At the highest point, the vertical velocity is 0.

Bu using the equation of motion $v^2=u^2 +2a s.$

Here, the final velocity v=0, the initial velocity $u = u \sin \theta$ , h= vertical distance up to the highest point, and $a= -g$ (as per sign convention).

So, $s= \frac{u^2\sin^2 \theta}{2g}$

For projectile A: The maximum height attained.

$s_A= \frac{u^2\sin^2 75^{\circ}}{2g}$

For projectile B: The maximum height attained.

$s_B= \frac{u^2\sin^2 15^{\circ}}{2g}$

As $\sin^2 75^{\circ} > \sin^2 15^{\circ}$ , the height of A is attained by A is more than the heigHt attained by B.

Now, the times required to reach the highest point from the ground and again form the highest point to the ground are the same.

So, the total time of flight = 2 x (Time to reach the highest point)

In a similar way, by using the equation of motion v=u+at,

The time to reach the highest point $=\frac {u\sin\theta}{g}$

where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

So, the total time of flight

$= 2 \times \frac {u\sin\theta}{g}$

The total time of flight for A

$=2 \times \frac {u\sin75^{\circ}}{g}$

The total time of flight for A

$=2 \times \frac {u\sin15^{\circ}}{g}$

Now, from equations (i) and (ii),

The range for the projectile A =

$u\cos75^{\circ}\times \frac {2u\sin75^{\circ}}{g}=\frac {u^2 \sin 150^{\circ}}{g}= \frac {u^2 \sin 30^{\circ}}{g}$

The range for the projectile B =

$u\cos15^{\circ}\times \frac {2u\sin15^{\circ}}{g}=\frac {u^2 \sin 30^{\circ}}{g}.$

Both the projectile have the same range.

Hence, option (A) is correct.

A certain lightbulb has a tungsten filament with a resistance of 26 Ω when cold and 170 Ω when hot. If the equation R = R0 [1 +

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation: The equation that relates resistance of tungsten at different temperatures is as follows

R = R₀ [1 + α ∆T] , R₀ is resistance at lower temperature , R is resistance at higher temperature . α is temperature coefficient of resistivity and ∆T is rise in temperature .

Putting the values

170 = 26 [1 + .0045 ∆T]

∆T = 1230.75

lower temperature = 40◦C

higher temperature = 1230 + 40

= 1270◦C
