It consists of a bulb containing mercury attached to a glass tube of narrow diameter, the volume of mercury in the tube is much less than the volume in the bulb. The space above the mercury may be filled with nitrogen gas or it may be at less than atmospheric pressure, a partial vacuum.

A bowling ball is launched from the top of a building at an angle of 35° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 15 m/s. T

Mamont248 [21]

Let $y_0$ be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time $t$ is given by

$y=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball reaches the ground when $y=0$ after $t=2.9\,\mathrm s$ . Solve for $y_0$ :

$0=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ(2.9\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.9\,\mathrm s)^2$

$\implies y_0\approx16.258\,\mathrm m$

so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).

A crew on a spacecraft watches a movie that is two hours long. The spacecraft is moving at high speed through space. An Earth-ba

laiz [17]

Answer:

The duration of the movie is longer than 2 hrs.

Explanation:

Given:

The duration of the movie observed by the crew on the spacecraft is 2 hrs.

According to time-dilation formula:

$t = \dfrac{t_{0}}{\sqrt{1 - \dfrac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

Here, $t$ is the required time, $t_{0}$ is the original time, $v$ is the velocity of the spacecraft and $c$ is the velocity of light.

Since $v$ , so $t_{0} > t$ .

So the time required will be large.
