A string attached to a kite was maintained at an angle of 65.0° with the ground. If 120 m of string was reeled in to return the

kite back to the ground, what was the vertical height of the kite? (Assume the string was straight and did not sag)

Answer:

The hypotenuse is measured at 120 meters of string, and you need to solve for the leg of the triangle that is horizontal. The degree is 40, so use trigonometry to figure it out.

Cosin (40) is equal to around .766

Adjacent/Hypotenuse

x/120 = cos40

Answer: 91.92533.

If you use 3 significant figures it should be 91.9 meters.

adoni [48]

Answer:

The change in the charge on the positve plate when the Teflon is inserted is +2.5 nC.

Explanation:

  • It can be showed that the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, can be expresssed as follows:

       C = \frac{\epsilon*A}{d}

  • Where ε, is the dielectric constant of the material that fills the space between plates.
  • When this space is filled with air, ε= ε₀ = 8,85*10⁻¹² F/m.
  • At the same time, the capacitance of a capacitor, by definition, is as follows:

       C =\frac{Q}{V}

  • If we insert a Teflon slab, in such a way that fills completely the gap between the plates, all other parameters being equal, if ε = 2*ε₀, this means that C₂ = 2* C₁. = 50 pF
  • As V₂=V₁ (due to the capacitor remains connected to the same battery) the charge must be the double, so Q₂ = 2* Q₁ = 5 nC.
  • So, the change in the charge of the positive plate is +2.5 nC.

GarryVolchara [31]

Explanation:

Kepler’s third law states that for all objects orbiting a given body, the cube of the semimajor axis (A) is proportional to the square of the orbital period (P).

For each of our planets orbiting the Sun, the relationship between the orbital period and semimajor axis can be represented by the equation as:

P^2=kA^3

k is constant of proportionality

It is required to solve the above equation for k

k=\dfrac{P^2}{A^3}

if you drop a stone from height of 2.5m. what is the speed of the stone right before it hits the ground?
KonstantinChe [14]
Since the stone was dropped from height, its initial velocity = 0 m/s

Using  v² = u² + 2gs.

Where g ≈ 10 m/s²,  u = initial velocity = 0 m/s, s = height from drop = 2.5 m

v² = u² + 2gs

v² = 0² + 2*10*2.5

v² = 0 + 50

v² = 50

v = √50

v ≈ 7.07 m/s

Hence velocity just before hitting the ground is ≈ 7.07 m/s
