Two children, Ferdinand and Isabella, are playing with a water hose on a sunny summer day. Isabella is holding the hose in her h

and 1.0 meters above the ground and is trying to spray Ferdinand, who is standing 10.0 meters away. Will Isabella be able to spray Ferdinand if the water is flowing out of the hose at a constant speed v0 of 3.5 meters per second?

Answer:

Isabella will not be able to spray Ferdinand.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the time taken for the water to get to the ground from the hose held at 1 m above the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =.?

h = ½gt²

1 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1/4.9)

t = 0.45 s

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the water. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 3.5 m/s

Time (t) = 0.45 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 3.5 × 0.45

s = 1.58 m

Finally, we shall compare the distance travelled by the water and the position to which Ferdinand is located to see if they are the same or not. This is illustrated below:

Ferdinand's position = 10 m

Distance travelled by the water = 1.58 m

From the above, we can see that the position of the water (i.e 1.58 m) and that of Ferdinand (i.e 10 m) are not the same. Thus, Isabella will not be able to spray Ferdinand.

pogonyaev

Given:

L = 1 mH = 1\times 10^{-3} H

total Resistance, R = 11 \Omega

current at t = 0 s,

I_{o} = 2.8 A

Formula used:

I = I_{o}\times e^-{\frac{R}{L}t}

Solution:

Using the given formula:

current after t = 0.5 ms = 0.5\times 10^{-3} s

for the inductive circuit:

I = 2.8\times e^-{\frac{11}{1\times 10^{-3}}\times 0.5\times 10^{-3}}

I =   2.8\times e^-5.5

I =0.011 A

madam [21]

Answer:

The right approach is Option b (the force..................exert on you).

Explanation:

  • Even before you fall on something like a soft object, users eventually slow to a halt. You are still giving away all the downward momentum, but progressively although with small powers, you are doing so.  
  • Although you can get injured by massive powers, this gradual displacement is a positive thing. And that is why you have a mattress you would like to settle on.  

The other options given are not connected to the situation described. So, the solution here was the right one.

. Maria walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. What is her speed in miles per hour?
Simora [160]

1) 3 miles/Hour

The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 1.5 mi is the distance

t = 0.5 h is the time taken

Substituting,

v=\frac{1.5}{0.5}=3 mi/h

2) 1.34 m/s south

Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:

d=1.5 mi \cdot 1609 m/mi = 2414 m is the displacement in meters

t=0.5 h \cdot 3600 s/h =1800 s is the time taken in seconds

Substituting,

v=\frac{2414 m}{1800 s}=1.34 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.
