(a) The stone travels a vertical distance <em>y</em> of

<em>y</em> = (12.0 m/s) <em>t</em> + 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the acceleration due to gravity. Note that this equation assume the downward direction to be positive, and that <em>y</em> = 0 corresponds to the height from which the stone is thrown.

So if it reaches the ground in <em>t</em> = 1.54 s, then the height of the building <em>y</em> is

<em>y</em> = (12.0 m/s) (1.54 s) + 1/2 (9.80 m/s²) (1.54 s)² ≈ 30.1 m

(b) The stone's (downward) velocity <em>v</em> at time <em>t </em>is

<em>v</em> = 12.0 m/s + <em>g t</em>

so that after <em>t</em> = 1.54 s, its velocity is

<em>v</em> = 12.0 m/s + (9.80 m/s²) (1.54 s) ≈ 27.1 m/s

(and of course, speed is the magnitude of velocity)

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from re
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

a) 17.33 V/m

b) 6308 m/s

Explanation:

We start by using equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2at², where

s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

u = 0 m/s

t = 3.8*10^-6 s, so that

0.012 = 0 * 3.8*10^-6 + 0.5 * a * (3.8*10^-6)²

0.012 = 0.5 * a * 1.444*10^-11

a = 0.012 / 7.22*10^-12

a = 1.66*10^9 m/s²

If we assume the electric field to be E, and we know that F =qE. Also, from Newton's law, we have F = ma. So that, ma = qE, and E = ma/q, where

E = electric field

m = mass of proton

a = acceleration

q = charge of proton

E = (1.67*10^-27 * 1.66*10^9) / 1.6*10^-19

E = 2.77*10^-18 / 1.6*10^-19

E = 17.33 V/m

Final speed of the proton can be gotten by using

v = u + at

v = 0 + 1.66*10^9 * 3.8*10^-6

v = 6308 m/s

The question doesn't describe any experiment.  If the same experiment is repeated, no matter how many times, the acceleration due to gravity will remain the same as it was during the non-existent original experiment, and will have no effect on anything.

If you are at latitude 43 degrees north of Earth's equator, what is the angular distance (in degrees) from your zenith to the no
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Your zenith is 43 N of 90 deg (equator)

Thus, your zenith is 90 - 43 = 47 deg

(At the N pole your zenith would be 0 deg from the N pole)
