You are sharing a house with a few roommates. One of them plays on the basketball team, and is exactly 200 cm tall. The heights

of you and the other roommates are 188 cm, 175 cm, and 160 cm. You want to buy the minimum height mirror that will allow all of you to see your entire selves, when the mirror is mounted in a fixed position on the wall. Assume each person's eyes are at a level 95% of their height. How tall a mirror should you buy

Answer:

119 cm

Explanation:

Given heights :  200cm , 188 cm , 175 cm, 160 cm

since the eyes are at 95% level

95% of 200 cm = 190 cm

95% of 160 cm = 152 cm

hence the allowable height of mirror = 200 - ( 5 + 76 ) = 119 cm

and The mirror should be hung 75cm from the floor

g In a certain underdamped RLC circuit, the voltage across the capacitor decreases in one cycle from 5.0 V to 3.8 V. The period
NeTakaya

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In a certain underdamped RLC circuit, the voltage across the capacitor decreases in one cycle from 5.0 V to 3.8 V. The period of the oscillations is 1.2 microseconds (1.2*10^-6). What is Q?

Solution :

The underdamped RLC circuit

$v_{t} = ve^{-\frac{R}{2L}t} \cos \omega t$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}-\frac{R^2}{4L^2}}= \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

We know in one time period, v = 2v, at t = T, $v_t = 3.8 v$

so, $9.8 = 5 e^{-\frac{R}{2L}T} \cos \frac{2 \pi}{T}T$

   $e^{-\frac{R}{2L}T} = \frac{3.8}{5} \times 1$

   $\frac{R}{2L}T= \ln \frac{5}{3.8}$

  $\frac{R}{L}= \frac{2}{1.2 \times 10^{-6}} \ln \frac{5}{3.8}$

 $\frac{R}{L} = 457.3 \times 10^3$

Now, Q value $= \frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}$

                     $=\sqrt{\frac{L}{R^2C}\times \frac{L}{L}}$

                     $=\sqrt{(\frac{L}{R})^2 \times \frac{1}{LC}}$

              $\frac{1}{LC}=27.43 \times 10^{12}$

∴ $Q=\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{457.3 \times 10^3}\right)^2 \times 27.43 \times 10^{12}}$

  $Q=\sqrt{131.166}$

      = 11.45

The force of attraction that holds two atoms together within a molecule is
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: The force of attraction that holds two molecules is a chemical bond

Explanation:

What is Chemical bonds?

Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together to make compounds or molecules.

Types of chemical bonds

Chemical bonds include

1.covalent,

2. polar covalent, and

3. ionic bonds.

Atoms with relatively similar electronegativities share electrons between them and are connected by covalent bonds.

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s .
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Force exerted, F = 1.5 N

Explanation:

It is given that, a boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s.

i.e. u = 0

v = 30 m/s

Time taken, t = 0.06 s

Mass of the paper, m = 0.003 kg

We need to find the force the boxer exert on it. The force can be calculated using second law of motion as :

F=m\times a

F=m\times (\dfrac{v-u}{t})

F=0.003\times (\dfrac{30}{0.06})

F = 1.5 N

So, the force the boxer exert on the paper is 1.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 mm away horizontal
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a. 8.96 m/s b. 1.81 m

Explanation:

Here is the complete question.

a) A long jumper leaves the ground at 45° above the horizontal and lands 8.2 m away.

What is her "takeoff" speed  v 0 ?

b) Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below.  

If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45° with the speed calculated in part a), how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?

a. Since she lands 8.2 m away and leaves at an angle of 45 above the horizontal, this is a case of projectile motion. We calculate the takeoff speed v₀ from R = v₀²sin2θ/g. where R = range = 8.2 m.

So, v₀ = √gR/sin2θ = √9.8 × 8.2/sin(2×45) = √80.36/sin90 = √80.36 = 8.96 m/s.

b. We use R = v₀²sin2θ/g to calculate how long or short of the opposite bank she will land. With v₀ = 8.96 m/s and θ = 45

R = 8.96²sin(2 × 45)/9.8 = 80.2816/9.8 = 8.192 m.

So she land 8.192 m away from her bank. The distance away from the opposite bank she lands is 10 - 8.192 m = 1.808 m ≅ 1.81 m
