Answer:

1.22kg

Explanation:

info given:

height (h) = 7.25m

g = 9.81m/s^2

PE = mgh

Plug in info and solve for m.

m(9.81m/s^2)(7.25m) = 87.4J

m = 1.22kg

Pressure = I / c where I is intensity of light falling .

= 1000 / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ N / m²

b ) weight of tritium atom

= 3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

acceleration = force / mass

= 3.33x 10⁻⁶ / 3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷

= .6646 x 10²¹ m /s²

= 66.46 x 10¹⁹ m / s²

Answer:

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$ .

Explanation:

Physically speaking, the resulting velocity of the helicopter ( $\vec v_{H}$ ), measured in meters per second, is equal to the absolute velocity of the wind ( $\vec v_{W}$ ), measured in meters per second, plus the velocity of the helicopter relative to wind ( $\vec v_{H/W}$ ), also call velocity at still air, measured in meters per second. That is:

$\vec v_{H} = \vec v_{W}+\vec v_{H/W}$ (1)

In addition, vectors in rectangular form are defined by the following expression:

$\vec v = \|\vec v\| \cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha)$ (2)

Where:

$\|\vec v\|$ - Magnitude, measured in meters per second.

$\alpha$ - Direction angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

Then, (1) is expanded by applying (2):

$\vec v_{H} = \|\vec v_{W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{W},\sin \alpha_{W}) +\|\vec v_{H/W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{H/W},\sin \alpha_{H/W})$ (3)

$\vec v_{H} = \left(\|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{H/W}, \|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{H/W} \right)$

If we know that $\|\vec v_{W}\| = 25\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\|\vec v_{H/W}\| = 125\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\alpha_{W} = 240^{\circ}$ and $\alpha_{H/W} = 325^{\circ}$ , then the resulting velocity of the helicopter is:

$\vec v_{H} = \left(\left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 325^{\circ}, \left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 325^{\circ}\right)$ $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$ .

Suppose a plot of inverse wavelength vs frequency has slope equal to 0.119, what is the speed of sound traveling in the tube to

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

8.40 m/s

Explanation:

Slope of the plot is 0.119

Slope of a plot is given by the change in y direction divided by the change in x direction

Here, the y axis represents inverse wavelength and the x axis represents frequency.

f = Frequency (Hz, assumed)

v = Phase velocity (m/s, assumed)

λ = Wavelength (m, assumed)

So, slope

$m=\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda}}{f}$

Now,

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=\frac{f}{v}$

$\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{\frac{f}{v}}{f}\\\Rightarrow 0.119=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{0.119}\\\Rightarrow v=8.40\ m/s$

The speed of sound travelling in the tube is 8.40 m/s

(D) The gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.

Reason :

All the other forces given in the options, except (D), doesn't account for the motion of the astronaut. They are the forces that act between nucleons or atoms and neither of them accounts for an objects motion.
