You flip a coin straight up if the coin reaches a high point of 0.25 m above where you released it what was the initial speed?

Julli [10]

Answer: 2.21 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Coin reaches a height of 0.25 m above the launch point

Suppose u is the initial speed of the coin

Using the equation of motion

$\Rightarrow v^2-u^2=2as\\$

Putting values

$\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2\times g\times s=2\times (-9.8)\times 0.25\\\Rightarrow u^2=4.9\\\Rightarrow u=2.21\ m/s$

Thus, the initial velocity is 2.21 m/s

A 23 g bullet traveling at 230 m/s penetrates a 2.0 kg block of wood and emerges cleanly at 170 m/s. If the block is stationary

Ann [662]

The distance traveled by the wood after the bullet emerges is 0.16 m.

The given parameters;

mass of the bullet, m = 23 g = 0.023 g
speed of the bullet, u = 230 m/s
mass of the wood, m = 2 kg
final speed of the bullet, v = 170 m/s
coefficient of friction, μ = 0.15

The final velocity of the wood after the bullet hits is calculated as follows;

$m_1u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2\\\\0.023(230) + 2(0) = 0.023(170) + 2v_2\\\\5.29 = 3.91 + 2v_2\\\\2v_2 = 1.38\\\\v_2 = \frac{1.38}{2} = 0.69 \ m/s$

The acceleration of the wood is calculated as follows;

$\mu = \frac{a}{g} \\\\a = \mu g\\\\a = 0.15 \times 9.8\\\\a = 1.47 \ m/s^2$

The distance traveled by the wood after the bullet emerges is calculated as follows;

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2as\\\\v^2 = 0 + 2as\\\\v^2 = 2as\\\\s = \frac{v^2}{2a} \\\\s = \frac{(0.69)^2}{2(1.47)} \\\\s = 0.16 \ m$

Thus, the distance traveled by the wood after the bullet emerges is 0.16 m.

ddd [48]

Answer: Brightness consistency

There are three types of perceptual consistency
Types of Perceptual Constancy: Shape, Size, and Brightness Size constancy
Since the moon and sun affect light, brightness consistency is occurring.
Brightness constancy is our visual ability to perceive objects as having the same level of brightness even though the level of lighting changes.
