Hi there!

a)

We can use the equation t = √2d/g to solve. (Let's let g = 10 m/s²)

**How to get this equation**

We have the equation:

Δd = vit + 1/2at²

For freefall, we know that vi = 0, so we are left with:

Δd = 1/2at²

We know that a = g. Rearrange in terms of t:

2Δd / a = t²

Square root both sides:

√(2d/a) = t

Plug in the height and gravity:

t = √2(400)/10 = √800/10 = √80 ≈ 8.94 sec

b)

Find the final speed using the following formula:

vf = √2gd

**How to derive**

We know the equation:

vf² = vi² + 2ad

vi = 0, so:

vf² = 2ad

Square root both sides:

vf = √2ad

vf = √2(400)(10) = √8000 ≈ 89.44 m/s

With what speed does the can move immediately after the collision? Answer in units of m/s.
Ratling [72]

Answer:

1.74 m/s

Explanation:

From the question, we are given that the mass of the an object, m1= 2.7 kilogram(kg) and the mass of the can,m(can) is 0.72 Kilogram (kg). The velocity of the mass of an object(m1) , V1 is 1.1 metre per seconds(m/s) and the velocity of the mass of can[m(can)], V(can) is unknown- this is what we are to find.

Therefore, using the formula below, we can calculate the speed of the can, V(can);

===> Mass of object,m1 × velocity of object, V1 = mass of the can[m(can)] × velocity is of the can[V(can)].----------------------------------------------------(1).

Since the question says the collision was elastic, we use the formula below

Slotting in the given values into the equation (1) above, we have;

1/2×M1×V^2(initial velocity of the first object) + 1/2 ×M(can)×V^2(final velocy of the first object)= 1/2 × M1 × V^2 m( initial velocity of the first object).

Therefore, final velocity of the can= 2M1V1/M1+M2.

==> 2×2.7×1.1/ 2.7 + 0.72.

The velocity of the can after collision = 1.74 m/s

Why is the surface salinity of the ocean higher in the subtropics than in equatorial regions?
larisa [96]
Evaporation is more contrasted with the rainfall which is less in the correlation of tropical locale. In tropical locale, protection is very little in light of mists. Alongside temperature, it is the main consideration in adding to changes in the thickness of seawater and consequently sea flow. Saltiness is the way to understanding the worldwide water cycle. 97% of the Earth's free water dwells in the seas. The water cycle is commanded by precipitation and evaporation.

Two stationary positive point charges, charge 1 of magnitude 3.05 nC and charge 2 of magnitude 1.85 nC, are separated by a dista
luda_lava [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to voltage as a dependent expression of the distance of the bodies, the Coulomb constant and the load of the bodies. In turn, we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation for which we can find the speed of this

V = \frac{kq}{r}

Here,

k = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge

r = Distance to the center point between the charge

From each object the potential will be

V_1 = \frac{kq_1}{r_1}+\frac{kq_2}{r_2}

Replacing the values we have that

V_1 =  \frac{(9*10^9)(3.05*10^{-9})}{0.41/2}+\frac{(9*10^9)(1.85*10^{-9})}{0.41/2}

V_1 = 215.12V

Now the potential two is when there is a difference at the distance of 0.1 from the second charge and the first charge is 0.1 from the other charge, then,

V_1 =  \frac{(9*10^9)(3.05*10^{-9})}{0.1}+\frac{(9*10^9)(1.85*10^{-9})}{0.41-0.1}

V_2 = 328.2V

Applying the energy conservation equations we will have that the kinetic energy is equal to the electric energy, that is to say

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = q(V_2-V_1)

Here

m = mass

v = Velocity

q = Charge

V = Voltage

Rearranging to find the velocity

v = \sqrt{ \frac{2q(V_2-V_1)}{m}}

Replacing,

v = \sqrt{ \frac{-2(1.6*10^{-19})(328.2-215.12)}{9.11*10^{-3}}}

v = 6.3*10^6m/s

Therefore the speed final velocity of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from charge 1 is 6.3*10^6m/s
