Running water has materials such as dirt, sand, and dead plants and animals in it. When this water ends up in a lake, the materi

als it was carrying fall to the bottom of the lake and form layers. A layer is thicker when more water enters the lake. For example, thick layers form during times of heavy rain, and thin layers form during times of little rain. Sometimes lakes dry up. The bottoms of dry lakes can change into rock. This rock will still have layers. A geologist studied one of these rocks made from the bottom of a lake. Which rock layer formed during the wettest season? Layer

A box of mass 26 kg is initially at rest on a flat floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$\Delta K = 52J$

Explanation:

The change in kinetic energy will be simply the difference between the final and initial kinetic energies: $\Delta K=K_f-K_i$

We know that the formula for the kinetic energy for an object is:

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

where <em>m </em>is the mass of the object and <em>v</em> its velocity.

For our case then we have:

$\Delta K = K_f-K_i=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}=\frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2}$

Which for our values is:

$\Delta K = \frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2} = \frac{(26Kg)((2m/s)^2-(0m/s)^2)}{2} = 52J$

An artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 52.0° above the horizontal. To clear an avalanche, it explode

sasho [114]

The x- and y-coordinates are 9142.57 m and -304.425 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

As the motion of the shell is in a plane (two dimensional space) and the acceleration is that due to gravity which is vertically downward, we resolve initial velocity of the shell $v_{0}$ in horizontal and vertical directions. If the initial velocity of the shell is making angle with the horizontal, the horizontal component of initial velocity will be

$v_{x}=v_{0} \times \cos \theta$

As the acceleration of the shell is vertical having no horizontal component, the shell may be considered to move horizontally with constant velocity of $v_{x}$ and hence the horizontal distance covered (or the x coordinate of the shell with point of projection as origin) is given by

$v_{x}=v_{o} \times \cos \theta=300 \times \cos \left(52^{\circ}\right)=184.69 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

$v_{y}=v_{o} \times \sin \theta==300 \times \sin \left(52^{\circ}\right)=236.4 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

For motion with constant acceleration, we know

$s=s_{0}+v_{0} t+\left(\frac{(1)}{2}\right) a t^{2}$

Along the horizontal, x-axis, we might write this as

$x=x_{0}+v_{x 0} t+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) a_{x} t^{2}$

Measuring distances relative to the firing point means

$x_{0}=0$

we know that,

$a_{x}=0$

or,

$v_{x}=v_{x 0}=\text { constant }$

By applying the values, we get,

$x=0+(184.69 \times 49.5)+\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times 0 \times(49.5)^{2}\right)=9142.57 \mathrm{m}$

The acceleration of gravity is vertically downward and is $g=-9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ , hence the vertical distance covered (or y coordinate of the shell) is given by the second equation of motion

$y=y_{0}+v_{y 0} t+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) a_{y} t^{2}$

we know, $y_{0}=0$ and $a_{y}=-9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ , so,

$y=0+(236.4 \times 49.5)+\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times(-9.8) \times(49.5)^{2}\right)$

y = 11701.8 - 4.9(2450.25)= 11701.8 - 12006.225 = - 304.425 m

Consider the uniform electric field E = (8.0ĵ + 2.0 ) ✕ 103 N/C. What is its electric flux (in N · m2/C) through a circular area

cluponka [151]

Answer:

5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C

Explanation:

The electric flux φ through a planar area is defined as the electric field Ε times the component of the area Α perpendicular to the field. i.e

φ = E A

From the question;

E = (8.0j + 2.0k) ✕ 10³ N/C

r = radius of the circular area = 9.0m

A = area of a circle = π r² [Take π = 3.142]

A = 3.142 x 9² = 254.502m²

Now, since the area lies in the x-y plane, only the z-component of the electric field is responsible for the electric flux through the circular area.

Therefore;

φ = (2.0) x 10³ x 254.502

φ = 5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C

The electric flux is 5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C
