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.

In addition to observing wind speed, wind direction, temperature, air pressure, and humidity, meteorologists observe what?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Precipitation amounts

Explanation:

Meteorologists are scientists whose job is to predict different weather weather conditions. They study the atmosphere of the earth thoroughly so as to make a clear and concise weather forecast.

Meteorologists makes it possible for people to get information on possible rainfall or sunshine, it also enable people to know about a possible hurricance occurrence.

Meteorologists make use of a variety of tools to predict the weather, they include: wind vanes, barometers, anemometers, rain gauges, thermometer, hydrometer, Campbell Stokes Recorder,Transmissometer.

The forces in (Figure 1) are acting on a 1.0 kg object.What is ax , the x -component of the object's acceleration
a_sh-v [17]

The x -component of the object's acceleration is 2 m/s².

<h3>What's the resultant force along x- direction?</h3>
  • Forces along x axis direction are as follows
  1. 4N along +x axis, so it's taken as +4 N
  2. 2N along -x axis , so it's taken as -2N.
  • Resultant force along x direction = 4N - 2N = 2 N which is along + ve x direction.

<h3>What's the acceleration along x axis direction?</h3>
  • As per Newton's second law, Force = mass × acceleration of the object
  • Force along x axis= mass × acceleration along x axis= 2N
  • Acceleration = 2/ mass = 2/1 = 2 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration along x axis is 2 m/s².

A pumkin is dropped, after 5 seconds, its velocity is 47 m/s. What is its acceleration?
EastWind [94]
Since the pumpkin is dropped, that means it is in freefall and is accelerating at the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s down.
