Water drips from a shower head (the sprayer at the top of the shower) and falls onto the floor 2.3 m below. The droplets are fal

ling at regular intervals (equal amounts of time between drops), with the first drop hitting the floor at the instant that the fourth drop starts to fall. When the first drop hits the floor (as the fourth drop is dripping from the shower head), how far below the shower head is the third drop? [The third drop is the one that fell right before the fourth drop.]

Answer:

0.767m

Explanation:

We are given that the time interval between each droplet is equal.

We are also given that the fourth drop is just dripping from the shower when the first hits the floor.

If they fall at the same time interval and we know that the distance between the shower head and floor are the same, they must therefore fall at the same velocity.

The distance between each drop has to be the same given that they fall at equal time intervals.

Let this distance be x.

We can then partition the entire height of the system into three parts (as shown in the diagram).

Hence, we can say that:

x + x + x = 2.3m

3x = 2.3m

=> x = 2.3/3 = 0.767m

Therefore, at the time the first drop hits the floor, the third drop is only 0.767 m below the shower head.

Recently, astronomers have observed stars and other objects that orbit the center of the Milky Way Galaxy farther out than our S
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

That scenario can be explained by the idea of the contribution of dark matter on that point.

Explanation:

It can be explained through the idea of dark matter, this one was born to explain why stars (or any object) that were farther for the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy didn't decrease it rotational velocity as it was expected according to equation 1.

v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r}}  (1)

Where v is the rotational velocity, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the supermassive black hole, and r is the orbital radius.

Notice, that If the distance increases the orbital speed decreases (inversely proportional).

blagie [28]
Using the formula KE=1/2mv^2

a: The kinetic energy doubles.
b: The kinetic energy quadruples.
c: The kinetic energy is cut in half.

a skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky
Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh                        

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to                    

gravity   and  h = height of the object above the reference line .


as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.


when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens

A radio have a wavelength of 0.3m and travels at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. What is the frequency of this wave?​
Ilya [14]

The frequency of the wave is 1\cdot 10^9 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency, the wavelength and the speed of a wave are related by the following equation:

c=f \lambda

where

c is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the radio wave in this problem,

\lambda = 0.3 m

c=300,000,000 m/s = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s

Therefore, the frequency is:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{0.3}=1\cdot 10^9 Hz
