A rocket-launching vehicle is moving forward at a constant velocity of 5 m/s. a cannon on the vehicle shoots a shell straight up

with a velocity of 20 m/s. the shell moves without friction, (no air resistance). how high does the shell go, in m?

For any object thrown upwards where only the force of gravity is acting upon it, uses the following formula for the maximum height attained.

H= v²/2g, where g = 9.81 m/s²

There are two information of velocities are given. However, we use the 20 m/s information because this is the launch velocity. Hence, the solution is as follows:

H = (20 m/s)²/2(9.81 m/s²)
<em>H = 20.4 m</em>

A radioactive material has a count rate of 400 per minute. It has a half life of 40 years. How long will it take to decay to a r
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

160 years.

Explanation:

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

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Number of half-lives (n) =?

Cբ = 1/2ⁿ × Cᵢ

25 = 1/2ⁿ × 400

Cross multiply

25 × 2ⁿ = 400

Divide both side by 25

2ⁿ = 400/25

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 40

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 40

t = 160 years.

Thus, it will take 160 years for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute.

We see a full moon by reflected sunlight. How much earlier did the light that enters our eye leave the sun? the earth-moon and e
Tju [1.3M]

The time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be 8.4 minutes.

To find the answer, we need to know about the distance travelled by light.

<h3>How to find the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth?</h3>
  • So, in order to solve this problem, we must first know how far the moon is from Earth and how far the Sun is from the moon.
  • These distances are given as 3.8×10^5 km (Earth-Moon) and 1.5×10^8 km (Sun- Earth).
  • Since the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth during a full moon, the light's distance traveled equals,

         d=(1.5*10^8km)+2(3.8*10^5km)=1.51*10^8km=1.51*10^{11}m

  • As we know that light travels at a speed of 300,000 km per second. then, the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be,

                      t=\frac{1.51*10^{11}}{3*10^8}=503.33 s\\t=\frac{503.33}{60}=8.4min

Thus, the time it takes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth and be recognized as 8.4 minutes.
