The food package will strike the ground at 11 degrees below the horizontal.

<h3>Time for the food package to hit the ground</h3>

The time for the food package to hit the ground is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

<em>let the initial velocity be horizontal</em>

4900 = 0(t) + (0.5 x 9.8)t²

4900 = 4.9t²

t² = 4900/4.9

t² = 1,000

t = √1,000

t = 31.62 s

<h3> Final speed of the food package when it hits ground</h3>

vf(y) = vo + gt

vf(y) = 0 + (31.62 x 9.8)

vf(y) = 309.88 m/s

<h3>Angle of projection</h3>

The horizontal component of the speed will be constant, while vertical component will change

tan(\theta ) = \frac{V_y}{V_x} \\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{V_y}{V_x})\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{309.88}{58.1} )\\\\\theta = 79^0

Angle below the horizontal = 90 - 79 = 11⁰

Thus, the food package will strike the ground at 11 degrees below the horizontal.

we measure a voltage difference of 5.0 V between two points on the conducting paper between two parallel conducting electrodes.
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

E=1824.81 V/m

Explanation:

Given that

Voltage difference = 5 V

Distance ,D= 3 mm

 θ = 24°

As we know that electric filed given as

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

Given that D is 24° with respect to the perpendicular to the electrodes.So we have to take cos component of D.

d= D cosθ

d= 3 cos24°

d = 2.74 mm

So

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

E=\dfrac{5}{2.74\times 10^{-3}}

E=1824.81 V/m

A distant galaxy has a redshift z = 5.82 and a recessional velocity vr = 287,000 km/s (about 96% of the speed of light.) Notice
vlabodo [156]

Answer: 4100 Mpc

Explanation:

Since H o = 70 km/s/Mpc

Redshift z = 5.82

Recessional velocity vr = 287,000 km/s

Then, the distance to the galaxy in light years will be:

= Recessional velocity / H o

= 287000 / 70

= 4100 Mpc

1. List one way mitosis and meiosis are the same and one way they are different.
kolbaska11 [484]
1. They both are same in the process, I mean they both are types of cell division they both form and give rise to new cells from the existing ones
difference would be in their division a mitotic cell gives rise to 2 cells where as a meiotic cell gives rise to 4.
2. the advantage of sexual reproduction is that , it produces genetic variation, disadvantage is it's a very slow process and takes lot of time
3. the advantage is that ,it's a very rapid process as it doesn't involve complex interactions. of genes and chromosomal recombination, the disadvantage would be is that they don't produce variation which can have adverse affect on their survival, even due to slightest change in the environment
4. Undergoing both the type of cell division is good as in human mitotic division is meant for growth and development whereas meiotic divisions are necessary and important for gametes formation and for raising new generation

How many electrons make up a charge of - 30.0 μc?
Ymorist [56]

Each electron has a charge of

q=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C

In this problem, the total charge is

Q=-30.0 \mu C=-30.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C

Therefore, the number of electrons contained in this total charge will be given by the total charge divided by the charge of a single electron:

N=\frac{Q}{q}=\frac{-30.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C}{-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C}=1.88 \cdot 10^{14}
