This question involves the use of the equations of motion for vertical motion.

The time taken by the stones P and Q to reach the ground is the same, that is "2 s".

The velocity with which Q hits the ground is "20 m/s".

The time taken by the stones to reach the ground can be calculated by using the second equation of motion for the vertical motion:

$h = v_it+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

For both the stones P and Q:

h = height = 20 m

$v_i$ = initial velocity = 0 m/s

t = time = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

Therefore,

$20\ m = (0\ m/s)t+\frac{1}{2}(10\ m/s^2)(t)^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{20\ m}{5\ m/s^2}}$

t = 2 s

Hence, the time taken by both the stones to reach the ground is the same.

To find the final velocity of stone Q we will use the first equation of motion for the vertical motion:

$v_f=v_i+gt\\v_f = 0\ m/s+(10\ m/s^2)(2\ s)\\v_f = 20\ m/s$

What is the surface temperature of a star that has a peak wavelength of 290 nm?

Maksim231197 [3]

We need to use Wien's Law

Wavelength = 0.0028976 [m.K] / T

This establishes a relation between the wavelength and temperature of a black body (any body that absorbs radiation, such as the stars)

T = 0.0028976 [m.K]/290 E-9[m] = 9991.724 K

A crate pushed along the floor with velocity vâ i slides a distance d after the pushing force is removed. if the mass of the cra

Alenkinab [10]

d The mass is doubled which means that both the momentum and kinetic energy are also doubled. Also the normal force that's acting along with the coefficient of kinetic friction is also doubled. So the friction that's working to slow down the crate is doubled. So the crate will have double the kinetic energy that needs to be dissipated, but the rate of dissipation is also doubled, so the total time required to dissipate the kinetic energy is the same. And since both crates start out with the same velocity and since they'll lose energy (and velocity) at the same proportional rate, they'll take the same distance to slide to a stop.

Which of the following methods has led to the earliest discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars a. detect

Mrac [35]

Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.

katovenus [111]

To solve this problem we will apply the laws of Mersenne. Mersenne's laws are laws describing the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string or monochord, useful in musical tuning and musical instrument construction. This law tells us that the velocity in a string is directly proportional to the root of the applied tension, and inversely proportional to the root of the linear density, that is,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$
