A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails first up and then down past an open window. the pot was in view for a total of 0.49 s,
Alika [10]

For this case, let's assume that the pot spends exactly half of its time going up, and half going down, i.e. it is visible upward for 0.245 s and downward for 0.245 s. Let us take the bottom of the window to be zero on a vertical axis pointing upward. All calculations will be made in reference to this coordinate system. <span>

An initial condition has been supplied by the problem: 

s=1.80m when t=0.245s 

<span>This means that it takes the pot 0.245 seconds to travel upward 1.8m. Knowing that the gravitational acceleration acts downward constantly at 9.81m/s^2, and based on this information we can use the formula:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) 

to solve for v, the initial velocity of the pot as it enters the cat's view through the window. Substituting and solving (note that gravitational acceleration is negative since this is opposite our coordinate orientation): 

(1.8m)=(v)(0.245s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(0.245s)^2 

v=8.549m/s 

<span>Now we know the initial velocity of the pot right when it enters the view of the window. We know that at the apex of its flight, the pot's velocity will be v=0, and using this piece of information we can use the kinematic equation:

(v final)=(v initial)+(a)(t) 

to solve for the time it will take for the pot to reach the apex of its flight. Because (v final)=0, this equation will look like 

0=(v)+(a)(t) 

Substituting and solving for t: 

0=(8.549m/s)+(-9.81m/s^2)(t) 

t=0.8714s 

<span>Using this information and the kinematic equation we can find the total height of the pot’s flight:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) </span></span></span></span>

s=8.549m/s (0.8714s)-0.5(9.81m/s^2)(0.8714s)^2

s=3.725m<span>

This distance is measured from the bottom of the window, and so we will need to subtract 1.80m from it to find the distance from the top of the window: 

3.725m – 1.8m=1.925m</span>

 

Answer:

<span>1.925m</span>

The amount of diffraction that a sound wave undergoes depends on
BigorU [14]
The amount of diffraction of sound waves depends on the medium the sound wave travels to and the frequency. Diffraction happens as soon as it has been out of the source.

The near point of a farsighted person's uncorrected eyes is 80 cm. what power contact lens should be used to move the near point
makvit [3.9K]
To solve this problem, we will get f and then we will use it to calculate the power.

So, for this farsighted person,
do = 25 cm and di = -80
Therefore:
1/f = (1/25) + (1/-80) = 0.00275 = 0.275 m

Power = 1/f = 1/0.275 = +3.6363 Diopeters.
This means that the lens is converging.

Como surgiu a capoeira?
xz_007 [3.2K]
La capoeira se desarrolló en Brasil, derivada de las tradiciones traídas a través del Océano Atlántico por africanos esclavizados y alimentadas por el ardiente deseo de libertad. Pronto se practicó ampliamente en las plantaciones como un medio para romper los lazos de la esclavitud, tanto física como mentalmente.
