Two students are on a balcony 19.1 m above the street. One student throws a ball, b1, vertically downward at 13.9 m/s. At the sa
tester [92]

Answer:

Part a)

t = 2.83 s

Part b)

Ball thrown downwards =v_f = 23.8 m/s

Ball thrown upwards =v_f = 23.8 m/s

Part c)

d = 22.24 m

Explanation:

Part a)

Since both the balls are projected with same speed in opposite directions

So here the time difference is the time for which the ball projected upward will move up and come back at the same point of projection

Afterwards the motion will be same as the first ball which is projected downwards

so here the time difference is given as

\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

0 = 13.9 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2

t = 2.83 s

Part b)

Since the displacement in y direction for two balls is same as well as the the initial speed is also same so final speed is also same for both the balls

so it is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a \Delta y

v_f^2 - (13.9)^2 = (2)(-9.81)(-19.1)

v_f^2 = 567.9

v_f = 23.8 m/s

Part c)

Relative speed of two balls is given as

v_{12} = v_1 - v_2

v_{12} = (13.9) - (-13.9) = 27.8 m/s

now the distance between two balls in 0.8 s is given as

d = v_{12} t

d = 27.8 \times 0.8

d = 22.24 m

A circular plate of 500-mm diameter is maintained at T1 = 600 K and is positioned coaxial to a conical shape. The back side of t
drek231 [11]
For part a)
Since the conical surface is not exposed to the radiation coming from the walls only from the circular plate and assuming steady state, the temperature of the conical surface is also equal to the temperature of the circular plate. T2 = 600 K

For part b)
To maintain the temperature of the circular plate, the power required would be calculated using:
Q = Aσ(T₁⁴ - Tw⁴)
Q = π(500x10^-3)²/4 (5.67x10^-8)(600⁴ - 300⁴)
Q = 5410.65 W

Examine the symbols below:
iris [78.8K]

Answer: Symbol A

Explanation:

The four symbols described here represent:

- Symbol A shows two dots and a line draw from one not connected to the other.  --> this is an open switch. A switch is component of a circuit that is used to open/close the circuit in order to interrupt/allow the flow of current through the circuit. In this case, the switch is open, since the line does not connect the second dot.

- Symbol B shows two dots and a line draw from one connected to the other.  --> this is the symbol used to represent the switch when it is closed, so it is a closed switch.

- Symbol C shows vertical lines in the pattern long, short, long, and short with a plus and minus symbol on it. --> this symbol represents a battery, which consists of two or more cells and provides the electromotive force that pushes the electrons along the circuit.

Therefore, the correct symbol representing the open switch is

Symbol A
