Two boys are at the top of a waterslide at Seven Peaks Water Park. One boy (boy A) slips off the top of the tower and falls unob

structed into the pool below. At the same moment the other boy (boy B) starts sliding down the slide and lands in the same pool. Ignoring air resistance and friction, which boy will splash into the water first and which will have the greater speed when he hits the water?

Answer: boy B, same

Explanation:

Given

One boy trips off the waterslide while the other starts sliding down

As there is no horizontal velocity, both boys have to travel the same vertical distance.

Their starting vertical velocity is zero and they need to travel the same vertical distance. Therefore, both boys splash water with the same velocity.

The time taken by boy B is more than boy A as boy B will travel some horizontal distance due to slide which will increase its time to reach the bottom.

Kinetic energy , KE= [1/2]m*v^2

m = 10 kg
v=20m/s

KE = [1/][(10kg)(20m/s)^2 = [1/2](10kg)(400m^2/s^2) = 2000 joule

Answer: 2000 joule

Describe a situation that includes no less than four charges of any magnitude, but they combine so that another location, p, has
Degger [83]

Answer:

Four charges of equal magnitude sitting at the vertices of a square

Explanation:

We can arrive at such a situation by thinking of a simple example first, a configuration of two charges. The force acting on the middle point of a straight line joining the two points(charges) will be zero. That is, the net Electric field will be zero as they cancel out being equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Now, we can extend this idea to a square having charge q at each vertex. If we put 'p' at the geometric center, we can see that the Electric fields along the diagonals cancel out due to the charges at the diagonally opposite vertices(refer to the figure attached). Actually, the only requirement is that the diagonally opposite charges are equal.

We can further take this to 3 dimensions. Consider a cube having charges of equal magnitude at each vertex. In this case, the point 'p' will yet again be the geometric center as the Electric field due to the diagonally opposite charges will cancel out.

The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increa
Nostrana [21]

Answer: The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increased by 2.0 kg, the period is found to be 3.0 s.  Then the mass m is 0.625kg.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the simple harmonic motion.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>
  • A particle is said to execute SHM, if it moves to and fro about the mean position under the action of restoring force.
  • We have the equation of time period of a SHM as,

                                          T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

  • Where, m is the mass of the body and k is the spring constant.
<h3>How to solve the problem?</h3>
  • Given that,

               T_1=2s\\m_1=m\\m_2=m+2kg\\T_2=3s

  • We have to find the value of m,

              T_1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\T_2=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m+2}{k} } \\\frac{T_1}{T_2} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\frac{2}{3} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\\

               m=\frac{5}{8} =0.625kg

Thus, we can conclude that, the mass m will be 0.625kg.
