A cement block accidentally falls from rest from the ledge of a 52.9-m-high building. When the block is 14.3 m above the ground,

a man, 1.94 m tall, looks up and notices that the block is directly above him. How much time, at most, does the man have to get out of the way

Answer:

The man has at most 0.418 secs to get out of the way

Explanation:

To determine how much time at most the man has to get out of the way, we will calculate the time it will take the block to reach height 1.94m from height 14.3m.

To do this, we will first determine the time it will take the block to reach height 1.94 m from height 52.9 m and find the time it takes the block to reach height 14.3m above the ground from the same height (52.9 m), the difference is the time the man has to get out of the way.

Now, the time it will take the block to reach height 1.94 m from height 52.9 m

This means the time it will take the block to travel a height distance of 52.9m - 1.94m = 50.96m

From one of the equations of motions for free falling bodies

h = ut + 1/2(gt²)

Where h is the height

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

and g is the acceleration due to gravity (Take g = 9.8 m/s²)

From the question, the block falls from rest

∴ u = 0 m/s

h = 50.96 m

Putting these into the equation

50.96 = 0(t) + 1/2(9.8)(t²)

50.96 = 4.9t²

t² = 50.96/4.9

t² = 10.4

t = √10.4

t = 3.225 secs

This is the time it will take to reach height 1.94m (that is to reach the man)

For the time it takes the block to reach height 14.3m above the ground from height 52.9 m

That is, the time it takes the block to travel a height distance of 52.9m - 14.3m = 38.6 m

Here,

h = 38.6 m

and u = 0 m/s

Putting these into the same equation

h = ut + 1/2(gt²)

38.6 = 0(t) + 1/2(9.8)(t²)

38.6 = 4.9t²

t² = 38.6/4.9

t² = 7.878

t = √7.878

t = 2.807 secs

This is the time it takes the block to reach height 14.3 m

Now, the difference in time is 3.225secs - 2.807 secs = 0.418 secs

Hence, the man has at most 0.418 secs to get out of the way.

A resistor R1 is wired to a battery, then resistor R2 is added in series. Are (a) the potential difference across R1 and (b) the
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Earlier emf of cell applied on R₁ but now emf will be distributed among R₁ and R₂

Potential difference on R₁ will become less .

b ) Current is inversely proportional to resistance of the circuit. As resistance increases , current will be less . So current through R₁ will become less.

c )

When resistance is added in series , they are added up to obtain equivalent resistance . So equivalent resistance R₁₂ will be more than R₁ OR R₂.

A hammer slides down a roof that makes a 30.0°angle with the horizontal. What are the magnitudes of the components of the hammer
dlinn [17]
<h2>Answer:7.14ms^{-1},4.125ms^{-1}</h2>

Explanation:

Whenever an object is moving in a 2D frame,its motion can be analysed as if it is travelling in two independent 1D frames.

One of such independent 1D frames are along horizontal and another along vertical.

Let v be the total velocity.

Given that,v=8.25ms^{-1}

We call the horizontal velocity as v_{h} and the vertical velocity as v_{v}.

v_{h}=vCos\alpha

v_{v}=vSin\alpha

where \alpha is the angle between the object and horizontal.

It is given that \alpha =30^{0}

v_{h}=8.25\times Cos(30^{0})=7.14ms^{-1}

v_{v}=8.25\times Sin(30^{0})=4.125ms^{-1}

What are the rules for setting up an integral of rotation?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Setting up an integral of rotation is used as a method of of calculating the volume of a 3D object formed by a rotated area of a 2D space. Finding the volume is similar to finding the area, but there is one additional component of rotating the area around a line of symmetry.

<span>First the solid of revolution should be defined. The general  function is y=f(x), on an interval [a,b].</span>

Then the curve is rotated about a given axis to get the surface of the solid of revolution. That is the integral of the function.

<span>It all depends of the function f(x), which must be known in order to calculate  the integral.</span>

A hungry monkey is sitting at the top of a tree 69 m above ground level. A person standing on the ground wants to feed the monke
sasho [114]

Answer:

Well if you want to be sure you should just throw it to the ground so then when he lands he can catch it.

If the cannon throws the banana with the same force the monkey falls

(m.g=Fz <=> m.9,81N/kg=...N).

Then the throw will slow down because of the gravitational pull.

Because the banana cannon is selfmade you can choose what mass the bananas in question have, so let that be the same as the monkeys.

The monkey falls with the speed of 9,81m.s => so it takes the monkey 7,1s to land.

If the cannon can shoot the banana at the same speed the monkey falls then they would cross in the middle.

So to do so you need to throw the bananas with a speed of at least 9,81m.s

Soo ... throw them with a force of that is greater then the gravitational pull and things will work out.

I'm sorry I don't know why I wrote all of this irrelevant information it's 2:21 right now and I'm tired.

kind regards
