A rock thrown with speed 12.0 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 15.5 m bef
Dimas [21]

Supposing there's no air resistance, horizontal velocity is constant, which makes it very easy to solve for the amount of time that the rock was in the air.


Initial horizontal velocity is: <span>
cos(30 degrees) * 12m/s = 10.3923m/s 

15.5m / 10.3923m/s = 1.49s 

So the rock was in the air for 1.49 seconds. </span>

<span>

Now that we know that, we can use the following kinematics equation: 

d = v i * t + 1/2 * a * t^2 

Where d is the difference in y position, t is the time that the rock was in the air, and a is the vertical acceleration: -9.80m/s^2. </span>

<span>
Initial vertical velocity is sin(30 degrees) * 12m/s = 6 m/s 

So: 

d = 6 * 1.49 + (1/2) * (-9.80) * (1.49)^2 
d = 8.94 + -10.89</span>

d = -1.95<span>

<span>This means that the initial y position is 1.95 m higher than where the rock lands. </span></span>

1.A river flowing steadily at a rate of 240 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam c
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW

Explanation:

Given that;

Volume flow rate of river v = 240 m³/s

Height above the lake surface a h = 50 m

Amount of power can be generated from this river water after the dam is filled = ?

Now the collected water in the dam contains potential energy which is used for the power generation,

hence, total mechanical energy is due to potential energy alone.

E_{mech} = m(gh)

first we determine the mass flow rate of the fluid m

m = p×v

where p is density ( 1000 kg/m³

so we substitute

m = 1000kg/m³ × 240 m³/s

m = 240000 kg/s

so we plug in our values into ( E_{mech} = m(gh) kJ/kg )

E_{mech} = 240000 × 9.8 × 50

E_{mech} = 117600000 W

E_{mech} = 117.6 MW

Therefore, the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW

What is the change in electric potential energy when the dipole moment of a molecule changes its orientation with respect to e⃗
AleksandrR [38]

Electric potential energy of a dipole is given as

U = - P.E

U = - PE cos\theta

so change in the potential energy is given by

U_f - U_i = (-PEcos\theta_2)- (-PEcos\theta_1)

\Delta U = PE (cos\theta_1 - cos\theta_2)

here initially it was parallel to electric field while finally it is perpendicular to the electric field

so we have

\Delta U = PE(cos 0 - cos 90)

\Delta U = PE

so above is the change in potential energy of dipole

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

D. circumpolar

Explanation:

A circumpolar star is a star, as viewed from a given latitude on Earth, that never sets below the horizon due to its apparent proximity to one of the celestial poles.
