A trouble-making youth is standing on a bridge, and wants to drop a water balloon on an unsuspecting passerby. A man is jogging

on a path below the bridge with a constant speed of 4.2 m/s. The bridge is 11.6 m above the ground. If the balloon is to land right at the jogger's feet, at what horizontal distance x from the bridge should he be when the youth drops the balloon?

Answer:

Explanation:

Time needed for a balloon to drop from vertical rest a distance of 11.6 m

t = √(2h/g) = √(2(11.6)/9.8) = 1.538618

d = vt = 4.2(1.538618) = 6.462197...

d = 6.5 m

How do lines of latitude affect how direct or indirect the Sun’s rays are on the Earth?
IgorLugansk [536]
The technical definition of latitude is the angular distance north or south from the earth's equator measured through 90 degrees. ... Locations at lower latitudes receive stronger and more direct sunlight than locations near the poles. Energy input from the sun is the main driving force in the atmosphere.



The Seasons at Different Latitudes
The seasonal effects are different at different latitudes on Earth. Near the equator, for instance, all seasons are much the same. Every day of the year, the Sun is up half the time, so there are approximately 12 hours of sunshine and 12 hours of night.



When we consider Latitude alone as a control, we know that the low latitudes (say from the Equator to approximately 30 degrees N/S) are the warmest across the year (on an annual basis).

Find the velocity and distance travelled of a car that is accelerating at 3 m/s2 for 4 seconds.
marta [7]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 3 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: Δx and v

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (4 s) + ½ (3 m/s²) (4 s)²

Δx = 24 m

v = at + v₀

v = (3 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 12 m/s

Peak wavelength of light coming from a star with a temp of 4300k
PSYCHO15rus [73]

from Wein's law

\frac{k}{ \lambda_{max} }  = T \\ \lambda_{max} =  \frac{k}{T}  \\ \lambda_{max} =  \frac{3.898 \times  {10}^{ - 3} }{4300}   \\  = 9.065 \times  {10}^{ - 7}
