Answer:

Lightning is an electrical discharge caused by imbalances between storm clouds and the ground, or within the clouds themselves. Most lightning occurs within the clouds

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).

In a very large closed tank, the absolute pressure of the air above the water is 6.46 x 105 Pa. The water leaves the bottom of t
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a) 35.94 ms⁻²

b) 65.85 m

Explanation:

Take down the data:

ρ = 1000kg/m3

a) First, we need to establish the total pressure of the water in the tank. Note the that the tanks is closed. It means that the total pressure, Ptot,  at the bottom of the tank is the sum of the pressure of the water plus the air trapped between the tank rook and water. In other words:

Ptot = Pgas + Pwater

However, the air is the one influencing the water to move, so elimininating Pwater the equation becomes:

Ptot  = Pgas

        = 6.46 × 10⁵ Pa

The change in pressure is given by the continuity equation:

ΔP = 1/2ρv²

where v is the velocity of the water as it exits the tank.

Calculating:

6.46 × 10⁵  =1/2 ×1000×v²

solving for v, we get v = 35.94 ms⁻²

b) The Bernoulli's equation will be applicable here.

The water is coming out with the same pressure, therefore, the equation will be:

ΔP = ρgh

6.46 × 10⁵  = 1000 x 9.81 x h

h = 65.85 meters

A baseball with a mass of 300 g has a kinetic energy of 304 J. Calculate the speed of the baseball
scZoUnD [109]

The formula for kinetic energy is equal to 1/2mv^2, where "m" is the mass of the object (in kilograms) and "v" is equal to the velocity of the object (in meters per second). To calculate the speed, simply plug in the values and solve.

KE = 0.5mv^2

304 J = 0.5(0.3 kg)v^2         -mass converted from grams to kilograms

v = 45.02 m/s

The baseball is travelling about 45.02 meters per second.

Hope this helps!

A 1.0 meter long rod is held horizontally in the east-west direction on a distant planet and is dropped from a height of 1.23 m.
enyata [817]

Answer:

The induced emf between two end is 34.02 \times 10^{-5} V

Explanation:

Given:

Length of rod l = 1 m

Height h = 1.23 m

Magnetic field B = 6.93 \times 10^{-5} T

For finding induced emf,

  \epsilon = Blv

Where v = velocity of rod,

For finding the velocity of rod.

From kinematics equation,

 v^{2} = v_{o} ^{2} + 2gh

Where v_{o} = initial velocity, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

   v = \sqrt{2gh}

   v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 1.23}

   v = 4.91 \frac{m}{s}

Put the velocity in above equation,

   \epsilon = 6.93 \times 10^{-5} \times 1 \times 4.91

   \epsilon = 34.02 \times 10^{-5} V

Therefore, the induced emf between two end is 34.02 \times 10^{-5} V
