Answer:

hellooooo :) ur ans is 33.5 m/s

At time t, the displacement is h/2:

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

h/2 = 0 + ½ gt²

h = gt²

At time t+1, the displacement is h.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

h = 0 + ½ g (t + 1)²

h = ½ g (t + 1)²

Set equal and solve for t:

gt² = ½ g (t + 1)²

2t² = (t + 1)²

2t² = t² + 2t + 1

t² − 2t = 1

t² − 2t + 1 = 2

(t − 1)² = 2

t − 1 = ±√2

t = 1 ± √2

Since t > 0, t = 1 + √2.  So t+1 = 2 + √2.

At that time, the speed is:

v = at + v₀

v = g (2 + √2) + 0

v = g (2 + √2)

If g = 9.8 m/s², v = 33.5 m/s.

Suppose an electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled (i.e. the length and radius have twice the
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The wire now has less (the half resistance) than before.

Explanation:

The resistance in a wire is calculated as:

R=\alpha \frac{l}{s}

Were:

R is resistance

\alpha is the resistance coefficient

l is the length of the material

s is the area of the transversal wire, in the case of wire will be circular area (s=\pi r^{2}).

So if the lenght and radius are doubled, the equation goes as follows:

R=\alpha \frac{l}{\pi r^{2} } =\alpha \frac{2l}{\pi {(2r)}^{2} } =\alpha \frac{2l}{\pi 4 {r}^{2} }=\frac{1}{2} \alpha \frac{l}{\pi r^{2} }

So finally because the circular area is a square function, the resulting equation is half of the one before.

A runner taking part in the 200 m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of
34kurt

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the runner is 1.73\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

A runner completes the 200 m dash in 24.0 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race. We need to find the centripetal acceleration as he runs the curved portion of the track. We know that the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

v is the velocity of runner

v=\dfrac{200\ m}{24\ s}\\\\v=8.34\ m/s

Centripetal acceleration,

a=\dfrac{(8.34)^2}{40}\\\\a=1.73\ m/s^2

So, the centripetal acceleration of the runner is 1.73\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which is true about Pluto
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

D.)it orbits near the Kepler belt

Explanation:

The Kuiper belt is an area similar to the asteroide belt extending from the orbit of Neptune to about 50 AU from the Sun. It mainly consists of icy asteroids and dwarf planets, which are rocky objects big enough to be defined as planet but that do not have enough gravity to clear their orbit from other obejcts.

Pluto was discovered in 1930 - initially it was classified as a planet, although it is much smaller than the other 8 planets of the Solar System. However, it has been recently de-classified to dwarf planet because its gravity is not enough to clear its orbit from other objects (asteroids). Pluto is located inside the Kuiper belt, so option D is correct. Other dwarf planets in the Kuiper belt are for instance Haumea and Makemake.
