A 2kg watermelon is dropped from a 4m tall roof a) use the appropriate kinematic equations to determine the instantaneous veloci

ty of the watermelon as its strikes the ground below?
Physics

Ivenika [448]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

8.85m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the watermelon held before dropping is Ep=mgh=2*9.8*4=78.4J.

When it strikes the ground, all of its Ep will transfer into Ek, so 1/2*m*v^2=78.4.

We already knew that m=2, so insert that in, we will get the V^2=78.4 m/s, V=8.85 m/s

Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called
Nikolay [14]

1. a. longitudinal waves.

There are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.

So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.


2. d. a medium

There are two types of waves:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium


3. a. AM/FM radio

Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.

A sample of chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes. The isotope Cl-35 (mass 35.0 amu) makes up 75.8% of the sample, and t
irinina [24]

Answer:

M_{av}=35.521amu

Explanation:

As in any sample you will have 75.8% of Cl-35 iosotopes and 24.3% of Cl-37 iosotopes you can get the average atomic mass as:

M_{av}=(35amu*75.8+37amu*24.3)/100=35.521amu

A garage door opener has a power rating of 350 watts. If the door is in operation for 30 seconds, how many joules of energy are
Ksju [112]
Because of the hint we can conclude what equation we need to solve this problem. We have power and duration that means that we need to express energy:

1 joule = 1watt * 1 second
or
E (energy) = P (power) * t (time duration)
E = 350 * 30 = 10500 joules.

The electric field between two parallel plates is uniform, with magnitude 628 N/C. A proton is held stationary at the positive p
aliina [53]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Electric Field between two parallel plates = 628 N/C

Separation = 4.22 cm

a) In this part, we are asked to calculate the distance from positive plate at which the electron and proton pass each other.

Solution:

First of all:

Force on proton due to the Electric field between the plates is:

F_{p} = q_{p}E

and, we know that, F = ma

So,

m_{p}a = q_{p}E

a = \frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }      Equation 1

So,

The distance covered by the electron is:

S = ut + 1/2at^{2}

Here, u = 0.

S = 1/2at^{2}

Put equation 1 into the above equation:

S = 1/2 x (\frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }  )t^{2}      Equation 2

So,  

Similarly, the distance covered by electron will be:

(D-S) = 1/2 x (\frac{q_{e}.E }{m_{e} }  )t^{2}    Equation 3

We know that the charge of electron is equal to the charge of proton so,

q_{p} = q_{e} = q

By dividing the equation 2 by equation 3, we get:

\frac{S}{D-S} = \frac{m_{e} }{m_{p} }

Solve the above equation for S,

Sm_{p} = m_{e}D - m_{e}S

So,

S = \frac{m_{e}.D }{(m_{e} + m_{p})  }

Plugging in the values,

As we know the mass of electron is 9.1 x 10^{-31} and the mass of proton is 1.67 x 10^{-27}

S = \frac{9.1 . 10^{-31} . 4.22 }{(9.1 . 10^{-31} + 1.67 . 10^{-27}  }

S = 0.002298 cm (Distance from the positive plate at which the two pass each other)

b) In this part, we to calculate distance for Sodium ion and chloride ion as above.

So,

we already have the equation, we need to put the values in it.

So,

S = \frac{m_{Cl}.D }{(m_{Cl} + m_{Na})  }

As we know the mass of chlorine is 35.5 and of sodium is 23

S = \frac{35.5 . 4.22}{(35.5 + 23)}

S = 2.56 cm
