In an attempt to impress its friends, an acrobatic beetle runs and jumps off the bottom step of a flight of stairs. The step is

20 cm tall, and the beetle jumps with an initial velocity of 1.5m/s at an angle of 20∘ above the horizontal. How far from the base of the step does the beetle land on the ground?

Answer:

0.3677181864 m

Explanation:

u = Velocity = 1.5 m/s

\theta = Angle = 20°

y = -20 cm

Velocity components

u_x=ucos\theta\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.5cos20\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.40953\ m/s

u_y=usin\theta\\\Rightarrow u_y=1.5sin20\\\Rightarrow u_y=0.51303\ m/s

Acceleration components

a_x=0

a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2

y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow -0.2=0.51303\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2-0.51303t-0.2=0

t=\frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)+\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}, \frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)-\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}\\\Rightarrow t=0.26088, -0.15629

Time taken is 0.26088 seconds

x=u_xt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\\Rightarrow x=1.40953\times 0.26088\\\Rightarrow x=0.3677181864\ m

The distance the beetle travels on the ground is 0.3677181864 m

Answer:

D. Electricity will flow if the electrons are bound loosely to their atoms in the material.

Explanation:

The continuous flow of charges is known as electricity (current). The flow of these charges are due to free or mobile electron within the atoms of the conductors. The materials which will allow current to pass through them, must have free or mobile electrons which are loosely bound to their atoms.

Thus, the correction for this question is "D"

D. Electricity will flow if the electrons are bound loosely to their atoms in the material.

Ket [755]

Answer:

Please refer to the figure.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic field can be found by Biot-Savart Law. We should divide the loop into four components. Each component has a similar solution but their directions are quite different.

The directions can be found by right-hand rule. Point your index finger into the direction of current, point your middle finger towards the target point (0,0,a). Your thumb will show you the direction of magnetic field.
