A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to

try leaping it with his car. The side the car is on is 20.5 m above the river, whereas the opposite side is a mere 2.4 m above the river. The river itself is a raging torrent 57.0 m wide.
A) How fast should the car be traveling just as it leaves the cliff in order just to clear the river and land safely on the opposite side?
B) What is the speed of the car just before it lands safely on the other side?

Answer:

(A) Velocity of car in order just to clear the river and land safely on the opposite side is 29.68 \frac{m}{s}

(B) The speed of the car is 35.14 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Given:

Car distance from river y = 20.5 m

Mere distance from river y_{o} = 2.4 m

River length x= 57 m

(A)

For finding the velocity of car,

Using kinematics equation we find velocity of car

  y - y_{o} = v_{o}t + \frac{1}{2} gt^{2}

Where v_{o} = 0, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }                                     ( given in question )

20.5 - 2.4 = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8  \times t^{2}

   t= 1.92 sec

The speed of the car before it lands safely on the opposite side of the river is given by,

   v_{x}  = \frac{x-x_{o} }{t}

   v_{x}  = \frac{57-0}{1.92}                        ( x_{o} = 0 )

   v_{x} = 29.68 \frac{m}{s}

(B)

For finding the speed,

The horizontal distance travel by car,

  v_{y} = v_{o} + at

Where a = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

  v_{y} = 9.8 \times 1.92

  v_{y} = 18.81 \frac{m}{s}

For finding the speed,

  v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2} + v_{y} ^{2}    }

  v = \sqrt{(29.68)^{2}+ (18.81)^{2}  }

  v = 35.14 \frac{m}{s}

Therefore, the speed of the car is 35.14 \frac{m}{s}

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a

    z= 2.5 \ m

b

   z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     Their distance apart is  d =  5.00 \ m

      The  wavelength of each source wave \lambda =  6.0 \ m

Let the distance from source A  where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

              z - (d-z) =  m \lambda

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e  points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m =  0

  so

        z - (5-z) =  0

=>     2 z - 5 =  0

=>     z= 2.5 \ m

Generally the path difference for destructive  interference is

           |z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>         |2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>        |2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}

substituting values

          |2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}

=>      z  =  \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}

So  

      z =  \frac{5 + 3}{2}

      z =  4\ m

and

      z =  \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}

=>   z =  1 \ m

=>    z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

The atomic number of a nucleus decreases during which nuclear reactions?
Goryan [66]
A related type of beta decay actually decreases the atomic number of the nucleus when a proton becomes a neutron. Due to charge conservation, this type of beta decay involves the release of a charged particle called a “positron” that looks and acts like an electron but has a positive charge.

What is the amount of electric field passing through a surface called? A. Electric flux.B. Gauss’s law.C. Electricity.D. Charge
rjkz [21]

Answer:

A. Electric flux

Explanation:

Electric flux is the rate of flow of the electric field through a given area (see ). Electric flux is proportional to the number of electric field lines going through a virtual surface.

Electric flux has SI units of volt metres (V m), or, equivalently, newton metres squared per coulomb (N m2 C−1). Thus, the SI base units of electric flux are kg·m3·s−3·A−1.
