A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 5.1 m/s, directed at an angle of 55° above the horizontal. The end of the ra

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer

given,

initial velocity of skateboard = 5.1 m/s

angle above the horizontal = 55°

height of the ramp = 1 m

a) maximum height of projectile

$H = \dfrac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}$

$H = \dfrac{5.1^2\times sin^2 55^0}{2\times 9.81}$

H = 0.889 m

the maximum height of the skateboard above the ground

= 1 + 0.889

= 1.889 m

b) time to reach the height

$t = \dfrac{u\ sin\theta}{g}$

$t = \dfrac{5.1\ sin55^0}{9.8}$

t = 0.426 s

horizontal distance = u cos θ × t

= 5.1 × cos 55° × 0.426

horizontal distance = 1.25 m

An iron nail is driven into a block of ice by a single blow of a hammer. The hammerhead has a mass of 0.5 kg and an initial spee

larisa [96]

Answer:

The ice melts mass is:

$m_g=7.6x10^{-3} g$

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

$K_E = 1/2*m*v^2$

$K_E = 1/2*0.5kg*(3.2m/s)^2$

$K_E=2.56 kg*m^2/s^2$

Heat gained by ice= mass(g) x 80 cal

( 1 cal = 4.184 *10^7er or g cm^2/ sec^2)

Assuming no loss in heat, in the motion so both continue with temperature 0~C

To find so the mass (gm) of ice melted

$m_g= 1/2 *(0.5*1000)*(3.2m/s)^2* 100*100 / (80*4.184*10^7)$

$m_g=7.6x10^{-3} g$

LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a 1.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

143 kW

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the beam, d = 1 mm

Wavelength of the beam, λ = 193 nm

Time used by the pulse, t = 14 ns

Energy of the pulse, U = 2 mJ

Recall that Power can be mathematically calculated using the relation,

Power = Work Done / Time,

To solve this, we apply the formula

P = U / Δt

P = 2*10^-3 J / 14*10^-9 s

P = 142857 W

P = 143 kW

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 25 m lower vert

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x = 5.79 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car = 39000 Kg

spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

height of the track = 25 m

length of spring compressed = ?

using conservation of energy

potential energy is converted into spring energy

$m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2 m g h}{k}}$

$x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000 \times 9.8 \times 25}{5.7 \times 10^{5}}}$

$x =\sqrt{33.5263}$

x = 5.79 m

the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.

What are non-metals?<br>explain briefly

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that is mechanically weak in its most stable form, brittle if solid, and usually gains or shares electrons in chemical reactions. There is no universal agreement on which elements are nonmetals; the numbers generally range from fourteen to twenty-three, depending on the criterion or criteria of interest.
