Answer:

27.1m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of the building  = 30m

Initial velocity  = 12m/s

Unknown:

Final velocity  = ?

Solution:

We apply one of the kinematics equation to solve this problem:

         v²  = u²  + 2gh

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

          v²   = 12²  + (2 x 9.8 x 30)

          v  = 27.1m/s

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.39 m and a spring constant of 350 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A) The possible algebraic signs will either be both positive (+) or both negative (-) charged since the 2 objects are repelling each other to stretch the string.

B) Magnitude of charges = 1.206 × 10^(-6) C

Explanation:

We are given;

Spring constant;k = 350 N/m

Spring length;L = 0.39 m

Stretched length of spring;x = 0.022 m

A) The spring stretches by 0.022m. Therefore, the total force is (350 × 0.022) N = 7.7N. The charged objects will either be both positive (+) or both negative (-) charged since they are repelling each other to stretch the string.

B) Force (F) required to stretch spring is given by the formula;

F = kx

Thus:

F = (350 × 0.022)

F = 7.7 N

Now, if we assume point charges, then the distance (r) between them will be given as:

r = (0.39 + 0.022) = 0.412 m

Coulomb's Law has a formula:

F = k(q1×q2)/r²

where k is coulomb's constant = 8.99 × 10^(9) Nm²/C²

Making q1 × q2 the subject, we have;

(q1 × q2) = Fr²/k = 7.7 × 0.412²/(8.99 × 10^(9))

(q1 × q2) = 14.54 × 10^(-11) C

We are told that both charges are equal, thus; |q1| = |q2|

So;

q = √(14.54 × 10^(-11)) = 1.206 × 10^(-6) C

A vertical wire carries a current straight up in a region where the magnetic field vector points due north. What is the directio
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

Explanation:

Given;

direction of the magnetic field to be due north

Applying right hand rule which states that: to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a positive moving charge point the thumb of the right hand in the direction of velocity v, the fingers in the direction of magnetic field B, and a perpendicular to the palm points in the direction of magnetic force.

Since the magnetic force must be perpendicular to the magnetic field, and direction of the magnetic field is due north, then the magnetic force must be due East.

Therefore, the direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

Suppose you observe two stars and you know they have the same luminosity. If one star is twice as far away as the other, the mor
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The farther star will appear 4 times fainter than the star that is near to the observer.

Explanation:

Since it is given that the luminosity of the 2 stars is same thus they radiate the same energy per unit time

Consider a spherical wave front of energy 'E' that leaves both the stars (Both radiate 'E' as they have same luminosity)

This Energy is spread over the whole surface area of sphere Thus when the wave front is at a distance 'r' the energy per unit surface area is given by

e_{1}=\frac{E}{4\pi r^{2}}

For the star that is twice away from the earth the distance is '2r' thus we will receive an energy given by

e_{2}=\frac{E}{4\pi (2r)^{2}}=\frac{E}{8\pi r^{2}}=\frac{e_{1}}{4}

Hence we sense it as 4 times fainter than the nearer star.

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The attached diagram explains the system,

Sum of Fy = 0

N=9.81

N - mgCos60 = 0

F= ukN= (0.53)(9.81) =

F= 5.12 N

So

F.d= 1/2(mv.v) - mgdsin60

-5.12*0.5 = 0.5*v^2 - 2*(9.81)*(0.5*sin60)

(a)  v = 2.436 m/s

For deflection

-F.x = 1/2(mv.v) - mgxsin60 + 1/2 (k*x*x)

by solving for with values of v, m, g, F, k

800x^2 - 11.87 x - 5.938 = 0

by solving the quadratic equation

x = 0.093, -0.079

(b) x = 0.093 m

correct Answer is 0.093m
