Answer:

They will be moving away from each other at the same speed.

Explanation:

The final speed may be identical to the initial speed if the collision is perfectly elastic. The final speed will be zero if the collision is perfectly in-elastic.

In all likelihood, the final speed will be slightly slower than the initial speed.

If the current in each wire is the same, which wire produces the strongest magnetic field?

lions [1.4K]

Answer: option 4: A wire that is 2-mm thick and coiled.

Explanation:

The current in each wire is same. The magnetic field due to a current carrying wire increases if the wire is coiled with the more number of turns. A thick wire would cause low resistance to the current. Hence, a 2-mm thick wire which is coiled would produce the strongest magnetic field.

A rescue airplane is diving at an angle of 37º below the horizontal with a speed of 250 m/s. It releases a survival package when

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is 1. 720 m

Explanation:

Projectile Motion

When an object is launched in free air (no friction) with an initial speed vo at an angle $\theta$ , it describes a curve which has two components: one in the horizontal direction and the other in the vertical direction. The data provided gives us the initial conditions of the survival package's launch.

$\displaystyle V_o=250\ m/s$

$\displaystyle \theta =-37^o$

The initial velocity has these components in the x and y coordinates respectively:

$\displaystyle V_{ox}=250\ cos(-37^o)=199.7\ m/s$

$\displaystyle V_{oy}=250\ sin(-37^o)=-150.5\ m/s$

And we know the plane has an altitude of 600 m, so the package will reach ground level when:

$\displaystyle y=-600\ m$

The vertical distance traveled is given by:

$\displaystyle y=V_{oy}\ t-\frac{g\ t^2}{2}=-600$

We'll set up an equation to find the time when the package lands

$\displaystyle -150.5t-4.9\ t^2=-600$

$\displaystyle -4.9\ t^2-150.5\ t+600=0$

Solving for t, we find only one positive solution:

$\displaystyle t=3.6\ sec$

The horizontal distance is:

$\displaystyle x=V_{ox}.t=199.7\times3.6=720\ m$

The correct option is 1. 720 m
