Explanation:

Amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path. ... Waves are generated by vibrating sources, their amplitude being proportional to the amplitude of the source.

An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/

Katen [24]

<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y$ is the instrument's final position

$y_{o}=0$ is the instrument's initial position

$V_{o}=15m/s$ is the instrument's initial velocity

$t$ is the time the parabolic movement lasts

$g=2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet X.

As we know $y_{o}=0$ and $y=0$ when the object hits the ground, equation (1) is rewritten as:

$0=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (2)

Finding $t$ :

$0=t(V_{o}-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2})$ (3)

$t=\frac{2V_{o}}{g}$ (4)

$t=\frac{2(15m/s)}{2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}}$ (5)

Finally:

$t=12s$

With detailed explaniation

belka [17]

Ø=37°
Initial velocity=u=20m/s
g=10m/s²

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=\dfrac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=\dfrac{20^2(sin37)^2}{2(10)}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=\dfrac{400sin^237}{20}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=20sin^237$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=7.2m$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=\dfrac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=\dfrac{20^2sin74}{10}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=40sin74$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=38.5m$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=\dfrac{2usin\theta}{g}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=\dfrac{2(20)sin37}{10}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=4sin37$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=2.4s$

Now

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=u-gt$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=20-10(2.4)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=20-24$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=-4m/s$

Variables in physics often include a subscript. What are subscripts used for in physics?

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

C.) To indicate different versions of the same variable.

Explanation:

Variables in physics often include a subscript. These subscripts are used for indicating different versions of the same variable in physics.

Basically, subscripts are used to represent the beginning (initial) and ending (final) position or point of a variable in physics.

For example, we would look at Gay Lussac' Law of gases.

Gay Lussac law states that when the volume of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Gay Lussac's law is given by;

$PT = K$
