What horizontal speed must a pumpkin be thrown to hit a car 13.4 meters away from a building which stands 10.4 meters tall?

Physics

Answer:

V₀ₓ = 9.2 m/s

Nearest answer:

D) 8.9 m/s

Explanation:

First we find the time taken by the pumpkin to hit the car. For that purpose we apply 2nd equation of motion to the pumpkin:

h = V₀y t + (1/2)gt²

where,

h = height of building = 10.4 m

V₀y = vertical component of initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

10.4 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (1/2)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = (10.4 m)(2)/(9.8 m/s²)

t = √[2.122 s²]

t = 1.45 s

Now, we analyze horizontal motion for horizontal component of initial velocity. We assume air friction to be zero so that the horizontal motion is uniform. Therefore,

s = V₀ₓ t

where,

s = horizontal distance between building and car = 13.4 m

V₀ₓ = Horizontal Component of Initial Velocity = ?

Therefore,

13.4 m = V₀ₓ(1.45 s)

V₀ₓ = 13.4 m/1.45 s

<u>V₀ₓ = 9.2 m/s</u>

Oscilloscope amplitude and frequency problem. Study the above graph. The volts/div dial is set to 2 volts/div and the time/div d
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Amplitude = 8 Volts

Frequency = 0.067 kHz

Explanation:

Note: The missing picture in question is attached for your review.

Given:

Volts/Div = 2 V/div

Time/Div = 5 msec/div

Finding Amplitude:

Now, as you can see in the attached picture, there are 4 division between two peaks of the waveform, so,

Amplitude = 4 div/volts * 2 volts/ div )\\Amplitude = 8 Volts

(Multiplying by 2 V/div because oscilloscope dial is set at 2 V/div)

Finding Frequency:

As can be seen in attached picture, 3 division are there for one complete cycle of waveform,so,

Time Period = 3 div * 5msec /div\\Time Perod = 15 msec

Since,

Frequency = \frac{1}{Time Period}\\Frequency = \frac{1}{15m}\\Frequency = 0.067 kHz

Atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retain the original characteristics of the element. True or false
kozerog [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Going even smaller than atoms would get you to subatomic particles such as quarks. From there, it is impossible to distinguish elements. So, yes, atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristic of the element.
