Answer:

1. 0.45 s.

2. 4.41 m/s

Explanation:

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

Height (h) = 1 m

Time (t) =?

Velocity (v) =?

1. Determination of the time taken for the pencil to hit the floor.

Height (h) = 1 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.8

t² = 1/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1/4.9)

t = 0.45 s.

Thus, it will take 0.45 s for the pencil to hit the floor.

2. Determination of the velocity with which the pencil hit the floor.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 0.45 s.

Final velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 0.45)

v = 0 + 4.41

v = 4.41 m/s

Thus, the pencil hit the floor with a velocity of 4.41 m/s

A 1000 kg car moving a 10 m/s collides with a stationary 2000 kg truck. The two vehicles interlock as a result of the collision.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{3}

where:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)

v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].

Now replacing:

(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]

A light ray transfers from more to less dense medium at certain condition , if we repeat this experiment by increasing the angle
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Still constant

Explanation:

The relative refractive index ₁n₂ between the two medium can be as follows;

_1n_2 = \dfrac{The \ speed \ of \ light \ in \ medium \ 1}{The \ speed \ of \ light \ in \ medium \ 2}  = \dfrac{c_1}{c_2}

Therefore, given that the speed of light in medium 1 is constant and the speed of light on medium 2 is also constant, the relative refractive index ₁n₂ = c₁/c₂ is always constant.

It takes 160 kj of work to accelerate a car from 24.0 m/s to 27.5 m/s. what is the car's mass?
ankoles [38]
Work-Energy :W = 1/2 m ( Vf^2 -Vo^2 )
Vo = 24.0 m/s Initial speed 
 Vf = 27.5 m/s  Final speed 

W = 1/2 m ( Vf^2 -Vo^2 )
160 kj = 1/ 2 m ( 27.5^2  -24.0 ^2)
160kj =  4680 x m
convert kilo joules to jeoules                     160000 j = 4689 xm
m = 160000 j/4689
m = 34.18 kg

If a person is 6.25 m away from a 60.0 w speaker, what is the sound level they are hearing?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

110.87 dB

Explanation:

(I got it right on Acellus)

I= P/4(pi)r^2 = 60/4(pi)6.25^2

60/4(pi)6.25^2=0.12223

B=10log(I/Io)

B=10log(0.12223/1*10^-12) = 110.87 dB
