Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

1.86 m

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes to travel the horizontal distance. Given:

Δx = 52 m

v₀ = 26 m/s cos 31.5° ≈ 22.2 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

52 m = (22.2 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

t = 2.35 s

Next, find the vertical displacement. Given:

v₀ = 26 m/s sin 31.5° ≈ 13.6 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t = 2.35 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (13.6 m/s) (2.35 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (2.35 s)²

Δy = 4.91 m

The distance between the ball and the crossbar is:

4.91 m − 3.05 m = 1.86 m

Answer:

Telescope

Explanation:

Telescope is usually defined as an optical instrument that is commonly used to observe the objects in a magnified way that are located at a large distance from earth. These telescopes are comprised of lenses and curved mirrors that are needed to be arranged in a proper way in order to have a prominent look. It is commonly used by the astronomers.

This was first constructed by Hans Lippershey in the year 1608.

Starting at the same time, an arrow and a ball are shot horizontally with a speeds of 50 m/s and 44 m/s respectively from the to

Yuri [45]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given.

horizontal velocity of arrow and a ball given as 50 m/s and 44 m/s respectively from the top of a building over flat ground.

In vertical direction, they are both identical

In vertical direction the initial velocity of arrow and a ball is 0 m/s

Their acceleration due to gravity is same for both arrow and a ball 9.8 m/s²

they will react bottom at the same time

time of flight is same for both

now,

In horizontal direction,

distance = speed × time

Since speed is more for arrow, it will travel more horizontal distance at the same time.

the correct answer is option D

In the nuclear fission process mass is converted into energy. Determine the total mass that must be converted to energy in one y

brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg

2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg

Explanation:

By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have

$E=mc^{2}$

where,

'E' is the energy produced

'm' is the mass consumed

'c' is the velocity of light in free space

Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals

$Energy=Power\times time\\\\\therefore Energy=1\times 10^{9}\times 365\times 24\times 3600\\\\Energy=31.536\times 10^{15}Joules$

Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is

$mass=\frac{Energy}{c^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{9\times 10^{16}}\\\\\therefore mass=0.3504kg$

Part 2)

At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals

$mass|_{30}=\frac{mass|_{100}}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=\frac{0.3504}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=1.168kg$
