A skateboarder rolls off a 2.5 m high bridge into the river. If the skateboarder was originally moving at 7.0 m/s, how much time

did the skateboarder spend in the air and how far will be his final position from the bridge?

Answer:

  t = 0.714 s and  x = 5.0 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile throwing exercise, in this case when the skater leaves the bridge he goes with horizontal speed

         vₓ = 7.0 m / s

Let's find the time it takes to get to the river

         y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

the initial vertical speed is zero and when it reaches the river its height is zero

        0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

        t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_o}{g}  }

        t = ra 2 2.5 / 9.8

        t = 0.714 s

the distance traveled is

       x = vₓ t

       x = 7.0 0.714

       x = 5.0 m

What is the acceleration of a 1.5 kg football thrown with a force of 13.00 N to the
nignag [31]

Answer:

The acceleration of football is 6.00 m/s².

Explanation:

The acceleration can be calculated using the following equation:

\Sigma F = ma

Where:

F: is the force

m: is the mass

a: is the acceleration

F_{e} - F_{w} = ma

13.00 N - 4.00 N = 1.5 kg*a

a = \frac{9.00 N}{1.5 kg} = 6.00 m/s^{2}

Therefore, the acceleration of football is 6.00 m/s².

I hope it helps you!

Carla is babysitting her 2-year-old nephew for the first time. While her back is turned just for a moment, he touches the pan sh
defon

Answer:

Screaming is an emotional response triggered by the brain which receives information about the pain later as compared to pulling away of finger which is a reflex action facilitated by the spinal cord that has a quicker-time to response.

Explanation:

Reflex action happens when part of our body comes to contact with an object which can cause harm and you tend to quickly withdraw that part of the body.Reflex action happens quicker before the brain gets the time to process information about the harm.

When the baby touched the hot pan, at point of contact, skin receptors send nerve impulses to the spinal cord. Interneurons in the spinal cord relay a response to motor neurons to stimulate muscle contraction making the baby to pull his finger away.This happens so fast before the brain receives the message later to trigger emotional response(screaming).

Determine the ratio of the flow rate through capillary tubes A and B (that is, Qa/Qb).
Oliga [24]

To solve this problem we can use the concepts related to the change of flow of a fluid within a tube, which is without a rubuleous movement and therefore has a laminar fluid.

It is sometimes called Poiseuille’s law for laminar flow, or simply Poiseuille’s law.

The mathematical equation that expresses this concept is

\dot{Q} = \frac{\pi r^4 (P_2-P_1)}{8\eta L}

Where

P = Pressure at each point

r = Radius

\eta = Viscosity

l = Length

Of all these variables we have so much that the change in pressure and viscosity remains constant so the ratio between the two flows would be

\frac{\dot{Q_A}}{\dot{Q_B}} = \frac{r_A^4}{r_B^4}\frac{L_B}{L_A}

From the problem two terms are given

R_A = \frac{R_B}{2}

L_A = 2L_B

Replacing we have to

\frac{\dot{Q_A}}{\dot{Q_B}} = \frac{r_A^4}{r_B^4}\frac{L_B}{L_A}

\frac{\dot{Q_A}}{\dot{Q_B}} = \frac{r_B^4}{16*r_B^4}\frac{L_B}{2*L_B}

\frac{\dot{Q_A}}{\dot{Q_B}} = \frac{1}{32}

Therefore the ratio of the flow rate through capillary tubes A and B is 1/32

In connective tissue, the role of elastic fibers is to __________.
blagie [28]
The role of elastic fiber is to keep the tissue length(or elasticity). That means if the tissue is stretched the elastic fiber will exert force to make it back into the normal length. This fiber can be found<span> in skin and lack of it will make wrinkle. Other connective tissue would be collagen which will give strength</span>

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!! 20 PTS!!!
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

1. Reflection

2. travel from one medium to another

3. Same waves to travel in opposite direction.  

Explanation:

1. When a wave strikes a solid barrier, it bounces back in the same medium. This wave behavior of bouncing back is known as reflection. Its like a basketball hitting a backboard. The ball bounces back at the same angle as it was incident. ∠i = ∠r

2. For refraction to occur in a wave, the wave must travel from one medium to another. When light travels from through mediums of different optical densities, it bends. The wave bends away normal when it enters from denser medium to rarer medium. The wave bends towards the normal when it enters from rarer to denser medium. The angle of refraction and angle of incidence are related by Snell's law.

\frac{sin(i)}{sin(r)} = \frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}

3. The formation of standing wave requires two same waves to travel in the opposite direction and interfere. The incident wave and reflected wave when interfere, form standing waves. There waves are also resonances or harmonics. A standing wave oscillates at one place and does not transfers any energy.
