Answer:

Assuming no air friction,

the time it takes to fall 10 m = t = √2h/g = √(20/9.8) = 1.43 s

horizontal distance = 5 m

horizontal speed = distance/time = 5/1.43 = 3.5 m/s  ANS

Explanation:

i hope this helps!

A helium nucleus (charge = 2e, mass = 6.63 10-27 kg) traveling at 6.20 105 m/s enters an electric field, traveling from point ci
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

v_B=3.78\times 10^5\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on helium nucleus is 2e and its mass is 6.63\times 10^{-27}\ kg

Speed of nucleus at A is v_A=6.2\times 10^5\ m/s

Potential at point A, V_A=1.5\times 10^3\ V

Potential at point B, V_B=4\times 10^3\ V

We need to find the speed at point B on the circle. It is based on the concept of conservation of energy such that :

increase in kinetic energy = increase in potential×charge

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_A^2-v_B^2)=(V_B-V_A)q\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_A^2-v_B^2)={(4\times 10^3-1.5\times 10^3)}\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=8\times 10^{-16}\\\\v_A^2-v_B^2=\dfrac{2\times 8\times 10^{-16}}{6.63\times 10^{-27}}\\\\v_A^2-v_B^2=2.41\times 10^{11}\\\\v_B^2=(6.2\times 10^5)^2-2.41\times 10^{11}\\\\v_B=3.78\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the speed at point B is 3.78\times 10^5\ m/s.

Two firefighters are trying to break through a door. One firefighter is heavy, and the other is light. If they run at the same s
frez [133]

Answer:

The Heavier Firefighter

Explanation:

Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects.  As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.

What distance is covered by an airplane traveling at a velocity of 660 miles per hour in 3.5 hours?
N76 [4]

As per the question, the velocity of the airplane [v] = 660 miles per hour.

The total time taken by airplane [t] = 3.5 hours.

We are asked to determine the total distance travelled by the airplane during that period.

The distance covered [ S] by a body is the product of velocity with the time.

Mathematically distance covered = velocity × total time

                                                      S = v × t

                                                        = 660 miles/hour ×3.5 hours

                                                        = 2310 miles.

Hence, the total distance travelled by the airplane in 3.5 hour is 2310 miles.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP BEFORE MY TEACHER AND MY MOM KILLES ME PLEASE ASAP
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

As you know, the denser objects have more weight per unit of volume, this will mean that the force that pulls down these objects is a bit larger.

This will mean that the denser objects will always go to the bottom.

This clearly implies that the red liquid, the one with one of the smaller densities, can not be at the bottom.

There are some cases where a liquid with a small density may become a lot denser as the temperature or pressure changes, and in a case like that, we could see the red liquid at the bottom, but for this case, there is no mention of changes in the temperature nor in the pressure, so this can be discarded.

The only thing that makes sense is that the red part at the bottom is the base of the tube, and has nothing to do with the red liquid.
