1. 28.3 m/s
2. 30.5 m/s
3. 32.8 m/s
4. 34.1 m/s
5. 36.8 m/s

Answer:

28.3 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle of projection (θ) = 30°

Maximum height (H) = 10 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =?

Thus, we can obtain the minimum velocity cannon ball by using the following formula:

H = u²Sine² θ / 2g

10 = u² × (Sine 30)² / 2× 10

10 = u² × (0.5)² / 20

10 = u² × 0.25 / 20

10 = u² × 0.0125

Divide both side by 0.0125

u² = 10/ 0.0125

u² = 800

Take the square root of both side

u = √800

u = 28.3 m/s

Therefore, the minimum speed of the cannon ball is 28.3 m/s

A thundercloud has an electric charge of 48.8 C near the top of the cloud and –41.7 C near the bottom of the cloud. The magnitud

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: 1.51 km

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law:</u> The electrostatic force between two charge particles Q: and Q2 is directly proportional to product of magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to square of separation distance between them.

Or, $\vec{F}=k \frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where Q1 and Q2 are magnitude of two charges and r is distance between them:

<u>Given:</u>

Q1 = Charge near top of cloud = 48.8 C

Q2 = Charge near the bottom of cloud = -41.7 C

Force between charge at top and bottom of cloud (i.e. between Q: and Q2) (F) = 7.98 x 10^6N

k = 8.99 x 109Nm^2/C^2

<u>So,</u>

$\begin{aligned}&7.98 \times 10^{6}=\left(8.99 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Nm}^{2} / \mathrm{C}^{2}\right) \frac{48.8 \mathrm{C} \times 41.7 \mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}} \\&r=\sqrt{\frac{1.8294 \times 10^{13}}{7.98 \times 10^{6}}}=1.514 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~m}=1.51 \mathrm{~km}\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the separation between the two charges (r) = 1.51 km

What is impulse? How does this relate to momentum?

lawyer [7]

Impulse is a force acting briefly on a body and producing a finite change of momentum.
This relates to momentum because impulse is a change in momentum. Impulse = momentum. Since force is a vector quantity, impulse is also a vector in the same direction. Impulse applied to an object produces equivalent vector change in its linear momentum, also in the same direction. m•(triangle)v

Answer:

Height from ground is 8 m where string will break

Explanation:

Let the string makes some angle with the vertical after some instant of time

So here we have

$T - mg cos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$T = mg cos\theta + \frac{mv^2}{R}$

now by energy conservation we have

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mg(R cos\theta)$

$mv^2 = 2mgR cos\theta$

$T = mg cos\theta + 2mgcos\theta$

$T = 3mg cos\theta$

For string break down we have

$T = 2mg = 3mgcos\theta$

$cos\theta = \frac{2}{3}$

Now height from the ground is given as

$h = R - Rcos\theta$

$h = 24 - 24(\frac{2}{3})$

$h = 8 cm$

We have two solenoids: solenoid 2 has twice the diameter, half the length, and twice as many turns as solenoid 1. The current in

leva [86]

Answer:

the field at the center of solenoid 2 is 12 times the field at the center of solenoid 1.

Explanation:

Recall that the field inside a solenoid of length L, N turns, and a circulating current I, is given by the formula:

$B=\mu_0\, \frac{N}{L} I$

Then, if we assign the subindex "1" to the quantities that define the magnetic field ( $B_1$ ) inside solenoid 1, we have:

$B_1=\mu_0\, \frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1$

notice that there is no dependence on the diameter of the solenoid for this formula.

Now, if we write a similar formula for solenoid 2, given that it has :

1) half the length of solenoid 1 . Then $L_2=L_1/2$

2) twice as many turns as solenoid 1. Then $N_2=2\,N_1$

3) three times the current of solenoid 1. Then $I_2=3\,I_1$

we obtain:

$B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{N_2}{L_2} I_2\\B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{2\,N_1}{L_1/2} 3\,I_1\\B_2=\mu_0\, 12\,\frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1\\B_2=12\,B_1$
