Answer:

A pair of scissors used to cut a piece of cloth has blades longer than the handles so that the blades move longer on the cloth than the movement at the handles.

While shears used for cutting metals have short blades and long handles because as it enables us to overcome large resistive force by a small effort.

Why do you need to breath faster at the top of a mountain

Dovator [93]

Because of the higher elevation. As much as we go away from earth by increasing altitude, there will occur lacoccuren. due to this, we need to breathe fast to get suffient oxygen by time at top of the mountain. We breathe faster at the top of a tall mountain due to a natural reflex. As we go higher up a mountain, the density of air and oxygen decreases, i.e. the amount of oxygen in the air decreases along with other gases. Therefore, to maintain the regular supply of oxygen, the body breathes faster. If we go too high without oxygen tanks, we could fall unconscious and die within 8 minutes due to oxygen deprivation.

Hope this helps! let me know if you need anything else!!

A person throws a stone from the corner edge of a building. The stone's initial velocity is 28.0 m/s directed at 43.0° above the

Naya [18.7K]

The stone's acceleration, velocity, and position vectors at time $t$ are

$\mathbf a(t)=-g\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf v(t)=v_{i,x}\,\mathbf i+\left(v_{i,y}-gt\right)\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf r(t)=v_{i,x}t\,\mathbf i+\left(y_i+v_{i,y}t-\dfrac g2t^2\right)\,\mathbf j$

where

$g=9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

$v_{i,x}=\left(28.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos43.0^\circ\approx20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_{i,y}=\left(28.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin43.0^\circ\approx19.096\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

and $y_i$ is the height of the building and initial height of the rock.

(a) After 6.1 s, the stone has a height of 5 m. Set the vertical component $(\mathbf j)$ of the position vector to 5 m and solve for $y_i$ :

$5\,\mathrm m=y_i+\left(19.096\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.1\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.1\,\mathrm s)^2$

$\implies\boxed{y_i\approx70.8\,\mathrm m}$

(b) Evaluate the horizontal component $(\mathbf i)$ of the position vector when $t=6.1\,\mathrm s$ :

$\left(20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.1\,\mathrm s)\approx\boxed{124.92\,\mathrm m}$

(c) The rock's velocity vector has a constant horizontal component, so that

$v_{f,x}=v_{i,x}\approx20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

where $v_{f,x}$

For the vertical component, recall the formula,

${v_{f,y}}^2-{v_{i,y}}^2=2a\Delta y$

where $v_{i,y}$ and $v_{f,y}$ are the initial and final velocities, $a$ is the acceleration, and $\Delta y$ is the change in height.

When the rock hits the ground, it will have height $y_f=0$ . It's thrown from a height of $y_i$ , so $\Delta y=-y_i$ . The rock is effectively in freefall, so $a=-g$ . Solve for $v_{f,y}$ :

${v_{f,y}}^2-\left(19.096\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2(-g)(-124.92\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies v_{f,y}\approx-53.039\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

(where we took the negative square root because we know that $v_{f,y}$ points in the downward direction)

So at the moment the rock hits the ground, its velocity vector is

$\mathbf v_f=\left(20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(-53.039\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j$

which has a magnitude of

$\|\mathbf v_f\|=\sqrt{\left(20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2+\left(-53.039\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2}\approx\boxed{56.855\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

(d) The acceleration vector stays constant throughout, so

$\mathbf a(t)=\boxed{-g\,\mathbf j}$

Please help! The image produced by a concave mirror is ? .

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

is a reflection.

The image is real light rays actually focus at the image location). As the object moves towards the mirror the image location moves further away from the mirror and the image size grows (but the image is still inverted). When the object is that the focal point, the image is at infinity.
