You are part of a searchand- rescue mission that has been called out to look for a lost explorer. You’ve found the missing explo

rer, but you're separated from him by a 200- m -high cliff and a 30- m -wide raging river. To save his life, you need to get a 5.6 kg package of emergency supplies across the river. Unfortunately, you can't throw the package hard enough to make it across. Fortunately, you happen to have a 0.70 kg rocket intended for launching flares. Improvising quickly, you attach a sharpened stick to the front of the rocket, so that it will impale itself into the package of supplies, then fire the rocket at ground level toward the supplies. What minimum speed must the rocket have just before impact in order to save the explorer’s life?

Answer:

v_r = 42.3 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the width of the river is given as

w = 30 m

now the height is given as

h = 200 m

now by kinematics we have

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

200 = \frac{1}[2}(9.81)t^2

t = 6.38 s

now the speed required to cross the river is given as

v = \frac{w}{t}

v = \frac{30}{6.38}

v = 4.7 m/s

now we can use momentum conservation to find the speed of rocket just before collision

m_r v_r = (m_r + m) v

0.70(v_r) = (5.6 + 0.70)(4.7)

v_r = 42.3 m/s

The electric field strength between the plates of a simple air capacitor is equal to the voltage across the plates divided by th
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

d = V/E

Explanation:

From the definition, we can say that the electric field strength between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is

E = v/d

where

E = electric field strength

V = potential difference

d = distance between the plates

On rearranging the equation and making d subject of the formula, we have

d = V/E

From the question, we're given that

V = 112 V

E = 1.12 kV/cm converting to V/m, we have 110000 V/cm

d = 112 / 110000

d = 0.00102 m

d = 1.02*10^-3 m

#1 What materials is each part of the flashlight made of? (A flashlight will include wires,a light bulb,a lens, a reflector ,and
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Explanation:

Question 1

1.The wires are made of conducting materials e.g copper

2. A light bulb is made of filament material e.g tungsten with gases enclosed in a glass material

3.The lens is made of transparent glass material

4 The reflector is made of plastic with silver lining

5. The exterior casing of most flash lights are made of plastic

Question 2.

1.Copper is used to conduct electric current from the battery to the bulb

2.The tungsten filament ignite the gases and causes it to glow

3. The lens covers the lamp on your flashlight so that the glass on the lamp

/bulbs does not get broken.

4.The reflector redirects the light rays from the lamp, creating a steady beam of light, which is the light you see emitting from the flashlight.

5. The exterior cases houses the entire assembly and makes the flash light handy for use

A person is riding a bicycle, and its wheels have an angular velocity of 10.7 rad/s. Then, the brakes are applied and the bike i
Scilla [17]

Answer:

(a) t = 22.9 s

(b) α= - 0.467 rad/s²

Explanation:

The uniformly accelerated circular movement, is a circular path movement in which the angular acceleration is constant.

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated :

ωf ²=  ω₀² + 2*α*θ  Formula (1)

ωf= ω₀ + α*t Formula (2)

Where:

θ : angle that the body has rotated in a given time interval (rad)

α : angular acceleration (rad/s²)

t : time interval (s)

ω₀ : initial angular speed ( rad/s)

ωf : final angular speed ( rad/s)

Data

θ =  19.5 revolutions  : angular displacement of each wheel or angle that the  wheel has rotated in a given time interval

ω₀= 10.7 rad/s :  initial angular speed of the Wheel ( rad/s)

ωf = 0 : final angular speed  of the Whee( rad/s)

Calculating of the angular acceleration (α )

We replace data in the fómula (1),considering that 1 revolution is equal to 2π radians :

ωf ²=  ω₀² + 2*α*θ

(0 )²=  (10.7)² + 2*α*(19.5*2*π )

0= 114.49 + (245.04)*α

-114.49 =  (245.04)*α

α= (-114.49) /(245.04)

α= -114.49 /(245.04)

α= -0.467 rad/s²

Time does it take for the bike to come to rest

We replace data in the formula (2)

ωf = ω₀ + α*t

0 =  10.7 + -0.467*t

-10.7  = - 0.467*t    we multiply by (-1) both sides of the equation :

10.7  = 0.467*t  

t = 10.7 / 0.467

t = 22.9 s
