Answer:

The speed of the raindrop is 11.55 m/s.

Explanation:

We need to find the speed of the rain in the "y" direction. We have:

v_{r}: speed of the raindrop at 60° (vertical) =?

v_{c}: speed of the car = 20 m/s (in the "x" direction)

Hence, the speed of the car and the speed of the raindrop are related by:

tan(\theta) = \frac{v_{c}}{v_{r}}        

v_{r} = \frac{v_{c}}{tan(60)} = \frac{20}{tan(60)} = 11.55 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the raindrop is 11.55 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

a 5.0 kg ball is dropped from a 2.5 m high window. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Approximately 7.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

Assumption: the ball dropped with no initial velocity, and that the air resistance on this ball is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume the air resistance on the ball is negligible. Because of gravity, the ball should accelerate downwards at a constant g = 9.81 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} near the surface of the earth.

For an object that is accelerating constantly,

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a \, x,

where

  • u is the initial velocity of the object,
  • v is the final velocity of the object.
  • a is its acceleration, and
  • x is its displacement.

In this case, x is the same as the change in the ball's height: x = 2.5\; \rm m. By assumption, this ball was dropped with no initial velocity. As a result, u = 0. Since the ball is accelerating due to gravity, a = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, g \cdot h.

In this case, v would be the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground. Solve for

v^2 = 2\, a\, x + u^2.

\begin{aligned}v &= \sqrt{2\, a\, x + u^2} \\ &= \sqrt{2\times 9.81 \times 2.5 + 0} \\ &\approx 7.0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

Which has greater accuracy, the 10 mL graduated cylinder or the 50 mL graduated cylinder
mylen [45]
You can estimate one more digit past the smallest division on the measuring device. If you look at a 10mL graduated cylinder, for example, the smallest graduation is tenth of a milliliter (0.1mL). That means when you read the volume, you can estimate to the hundredths place (0.01mL).

An orchestra is practicing a piece that is to be played at an allegro tempo. The conductor sets a metronome at 160 beats per min
omeli [17]

Answer:

375 ms

Explanation:

the frequency of metronome , f = 160 beats per minute

f = 160 /60 beats per sec

f = 2.67 beats /s

the period of a single beat , T = 1/f

T = 1/2.67 s

T = 0.375 s = 375 ms

the period of a single beat is 375 ms

Compare the gravity between these pairs, each consisting of an Earth-like planet and its star. You are given the mass of the pla
Maru [420]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Newton's law of gravity states that the force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The law is expressed by the formula:

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2} \\\\Where\ F=force,G=gravitational\ constant, m_1\ and\ m_1=mass\ of\ objects,r\ =distance\ between \ the\ two\ objects.

The masses and distances for this question is in common units, Therefore the result would be in ratios

a) 4 MEarth / 2 MSolar / 3 AU

The force (F) = (4 * 3) / 3² = 4/3

b) 1 MEarth / 1 MSolar / 1 AU

The force (F) = (1 * 1) / 1² = 1

c) 1 MEarth / 2 MSolar / 2 AU

The force (F) = (1 * 2) / 2² = 1/2
