Answer:

37.33m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

S = ut + 1/2gt^2

Time t = 2.76secs

g = 9.8m/s^2

S = 0 + 1/2(9.8)(2.76)^2

S = 4.9*7.6176

S = 37.33

Hence the window is 37.33m above the ground

A baseball is thrown horizontally at a rate of 40m/s toward a home plate 18.4 m away. How far below the launch height is the bal

sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g where

R is the distance moves in horizontal direction = 18.4m

H is the height

U is the velocity of the baseball = 40m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute the given parameters into the formula and calculate H as shown;

18.4 = 40√2H/9.8

18.4/40 = √2H/9.8

0.46 = √2H/9.8

square both sides;

(0.46)² = (√2H/9.8)²

0.2116 = 2H/9.8

2H = 9.8*0.2116

2H = 2.07368

H = 2.07368/2

H = 1.03684m

Hence the ball is 1.03684m below the launch height when it reached home plate.

a surface recieving sound is moved from it original position to a position three times farther away from the source of the sound

Delicious77 [7]

Sound intensity = 1/(r^2)

That is Sound intensity is indirectly proportional to the distance. Therefore, sound becomes 9 times less intense.

Where in the motion is the magnitude of the force from the spring on the object zero? Where in the motion is the magnitude of th

kkurt [141]

Answer:

1. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is zero on Equilibrium.

2. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is a maximum on The top and bottom.

3. The magnitude of the net force on the object is zero on The Bottom.

4. The magnitude of the force on the object is a maximum on the Top.

Explanation:

1. Because the change in position delta X is zero.

2. Because of delta X.

3. Beacuse, the force of gravity and the force of the spring oppose each other to keep the block at rest, away from the equilibrium position.

4. Because, the force of the spring from compressiom and the force of gravity both act on the mass.

When the starter motor on a car is engaged, there is a 310 A current in the wires between the battery and the motor. Suppose the

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Diameter will be 351.42 mm

Explanation:

We have given current flowing in the copper wire i = 310 A

Voltage drop across the wire V = 0.55 volt

We know that resistance is given by $R=\frac{V}{i}=\frac{0.55}{310}=0.00177\Omega$

Length of the copper wire l = 1 m

Resisitivity of the copper wire $\rho =1.72\times 10^{-8}\Omega m$

We know that resistance $R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

$0.00177=\frac{1.72\times 10^{-8}\times 1}{A}$

$A=969.4545\times 10^{-8}m^2$

As area $A=\pi r^2$

$3.14\times r^2=969.4545\times 10^{-8}$

$r=17.57\times 10^{-4}m$

So diameter $d=17.57\times 10^{-4}\times 2=35.142\times \times 10^{-4}m$ = 351.42 mm
