<em>Radiant </em><em>energy</em>

Explanation:

Radiant energy is transformed into thermal energy as the popcorn kernels absorb the microwaves. This causes the kernels to become hot and pop. Electric energy is transferred from the electrical outlet to the microwave.

A 1.0 kg football is given an initial velocity at ground level of 20.0 m/s [37 above horizontal]. It gets blocked just after re

stepan [7]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Neglect air resistance.
The horizontal component of the launch velocity is
(20 m/s)*cos(37°) = 15.973 m/s
The vertical component of the launch velocity is
(20 m/s)*sin(37°) = 12.036 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity is g =9.8 m/s².
The time, t s, for the ball to reach a height of 3 m is given by
(12.036 m/s)*(t s) - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)² = (3 m)
12.036t - 4.9t² - 3 = 0
2.4543t - t² - 0.6122 = 0
t² - 2.4563t + 0.6122 = 0
Solve with the quadratic formula.
t = (1/2)[2.4563 +/- √(6.0334 - 2.4488)]
t = 2.1748 or 0.2815 s
The ball reaches a height of 3 m twice.
The first time it reaches 3 m height is 0.2815 s.

Part a.
The vertical velocity when t = 0.2815 s is
Vy = 12.036 - 9.8*0.2815
= 9.2773 m/s
The horizontal component of velocity is Vx = 15.973 m/s
The resultant velocity is
√(9.2773² + 15.973² ) = 18.47 m/s
Answer:
The velocity at a height of 3.0 m is 18.5 m/s (nearest tenth)

Part b.
The horizontal distance traveled is
d = (15.973 m/s)*(0.2815 s) = 4.4964 m
Answer:
The horizontal distance traveled is 4.5 m (nearest tenth)

What benefits does preforming this investigation in the physical world have over the computer simulation?

mezya [45]

Explanation:

Can be safer and cheaper than the real world. Able to test a product or system works before building it. Can use it to find unexpected problems. Can speed things up or slow them down to see changes over long or short periods of time.

Please help me to do this problem

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

we got time and velocity over time.

so the distance is again the area underneath the graph

for a triangle with known base and height it's

4*10 / 2

distance traveled is 20

deceleration occurs when velocity decreases. that happens from t=2 till t=4

in 2 time-units we loose 10 units of velocity, so we decelerate by 5 units per 1 time

a (from t=2 to t=4) = -5v/t

An open pipe of length 0.39m vibrates in the third harmonic with a frequency of 1400Hz. What is the distance from the center of

Gnoma [55]

Length of the pipe = 0.39 m

Third harmonic frequency = 1400 Hz

For the third harmonic:

Wavelength = $\frac{2L}{3}$

The center of the open pipe will host a node and the nearest anti - node from the center will be at the 0.25 × wavelength

Distance from center = 0.25 × wavelength

Distance = $0.25 x \frac{2L}{3}$

Plugging the value of the length of the pipe (L) = 0.39 m = 39 cm

Distance = $0.25 x \frac{2 \times 39}{3}$

Distance from the center to the nearest anti - node = 6.5 cm

Hence, the nearest distance to the anti - node from the center = 6.5 cm

So, option C is correct.
