Answer:
Explanation:
Assuming the squirrel is jumping off the ground, here's what we know but don't really know...
v₀ = 4.0 at 50.0°
So that's not really the velocity we are looking for. We are dealing with a max height problem, which is a y-dimension thing. Therefore, we need the squirrel's upward velocity, which is NOT 4.0 m/s. We find it in the following way:
[tex]v_{0y}=4.0sin(50.0)[/tex] which gives us that the upward velocity is
v₀ = 3.1 m/s
Moving on here's what we also know:
a = -9.8 m/s/s and
v = 0
Remember that at the very top of the parabolic path, the final velocity is 0. In order to find the max height of the squirrel, we need to know how long it took him to get there. We are using 2 of our 3 one-dimensional equations in this problem. To find time:
v = v₀ + at and filling in:
0 = 3.1 - 9.8t and
-3.1 = -9.8t so
t = .32 seconds.
Now that we know how long it took him to get to the max height, we use that in our next one-dimensional equation:
Δx = [tex]v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex] and filling in:
Δx = [tex]3.1(.32)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(.32)^2[/tex] and using the rules for adding and subtracting sig fig's correctly, we can begin to simplify this:
Δx = .99 - .50 so
Δx = .49 meters
A child is playing on a swing. As long as he does not swing too high the time it takes him to complete one full oscillation will be independent of
Answer:
We know that for a pendulum of length L, the period (time for a complete swing) is defined as:
T = 2*pi*√(L/g)
where:
pi = 3.14
L = length of the pendulum
g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2
Now, we can think on the swing as a pendulum, where the child is the mass of the pendulum.
Then the period is independent of:
The mass of the child
The initial angle
Where the restriction of not swing to high is because this model works for small angles, and when the swing is to high the problem becomes more complex.
Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.
Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.

what do you think will happen to the people in the airplane if their location is unknown?
Question:
What do you think will happen to the people in the airplane if their location is unknown?
My opinion:
I mean what are the circumstances? Is it just a rogue pilot that takes a random plane with all the passengers Hostage or is It bad whether an they lose connection to the airport? I Mean either way, If I was on a plane being held hostage, or the plane crashing, I Would be a in a panic type state of mind. I Would be worried about what will happen when the plane crashes, I would worry about my friends or family that is aboard the plane with me, I Would be scared for my life because I Don't know if i would make it out alive.
Also:
How would they know their location is unknown wouldn't the Pilot be the only one to know exactly where there with their navigating system, But then again there was this time I headed to Florida an They had mini tv's on the seats of each chair, where you could: Watch movies, listen to music, an Also see exactly where you are in the world. It was really amazing actually.

A student runs at 4.5 m/s [27° S of W] for 3.0 minutes and then he turns and runs at 3.5 m/s [35° S of E] for 4.1 minutes.
a. What was his average speed?
b. What was his displacement?
PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK
Answer:
(a) 3.93 m/s
(b) 861.66 m
Explanation:
A = 4.5 m/s [27° S of W] for 3.0 minutes
B = 3.5 m/s [35° S of E] for 4.1 minutes
Distance A = 4.5 x 3 x 60 = 810 m
Distance B = 3.5 x 4.1 x 60 = 861 m
(a) The average speed is defined as the ratio of the total distance to the total time.
Total distance, d = 810 + 861 = 1671 m
total time, t = 3 + 4.1 = 7.1 minutes = 7.1 x 60 = 426 seconds
The average speed is
[tex]v=\frac{1671}{426}=3.93 m/s[/tex]
(b)
[tex]\overrightarrow{A} = 810(- cos 27 \widehat{i} - sin 27 \widehat{j})=- 721.7 \widehat{i} - 367.7 \widehat{j}\\\\\overrightarrow{B} = 861( cos 35 \widehat{i} - sin 35 \widehat{j})= 705.3 \widehat{i} - 493.8 \widehat{j}\\\\\overrightarrow{C} = (- 721.7 + 705.3) \widehat{i} - (367.7 + 493.8) \widehat{j} \\\\\overrightarrow{C}= - 16.4 \widehat{i} - 861.5 \widehat{j}[/tex]
The magnitude is
[tex]C =\sqrt{16.4^2+861.5^2} = 861.66 m[/tex]

Answer:
Part A
a) F = -16x + 4, b) x = 0.25 m, c) STABLE
Explanation:
Part A
a) Potential energy and force are related
F = [tex]- \frac{dU}{dx}[/tex]- dU / dx
F = - (8 2x -4)
F = -16x + 4
b) The object is in equilibrium when the forces are zero
0 = -16x + 4
x = 4/16
x = 0.25 m
c) An equilibrium position is called stable if with a small change in position, the forces make it return to the initial position, in case the forces make it move away it is called unstable.
In this case there is only one equilibrium point
by changing the position a bit
x ’= x + Δx
we substitute
F ’= - 16 x’ + 4
F ’= - 16 (x + Δx) + 4
F ’= (-16x +4) - 16 Δx
at equilibrium position F = 0
F ’= 0 - 16 Δx
we can see that the body returns to the equilibrium position, therefore it is STABLE
PART B
This is an exercise in body collisions, let's define the system formed by the two bodies in such a way that the forces during the collisions are internal and the moment is conserved
initial instant. Before the shock
p₀ = m v
final instant. After the crash
p_f = (m + M) v_f
We have two possibilities: an elastic collision in which the bodies separate, each one maintaining its plus, and an INELASTIC collision where the neutron is absorbed by the nucleus and the final mass is M '= m + M, in this case they indicate that the collision is elastic
p₀ = pf
mv = mv ’+ M v_f
in the case of the elastic collision, the kinetic energy is conserved
K₀ = K_f
½ m v² = ½ m v’² + ½ M v_f²
we write the system of equations
mv = mv ’+ M v_f (1)
m (v² -v'²) = M v_f ²
m (v - v ’) = M v_f
m (v-v ’) (v + v’) = M v_f
v + v ’= v_f
we substitute in equation 1 and solve
v ’=[tex]\frac{m -M }{m+M } \ vo[/tex]
v_f = [tex]\frac{2m}{m+M} \ v_o[/tex]
the mechanical energy of the neutron is
initial
Em₀ = K = ½ m v²
final moment
Em_f = K + U = ½ m v_f ² + U
U is the energy lost in the collision
total energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ m v² = ½ m v_f ² + U
U = ½ m (v² -v_f ²)
U = ½ m [v² - ( [tex]\frac{m-M}{m+M}[/tex] v)² ]
U = ½ m v² [1- ( [tex]\frac{m-M}{m+M}[/tex] )² ]
U = ½ m v2 [ [tex]\frac{2M}{m+M}[/tex]]
U = [tex]\frac{2 mM}{m +M } \ v^2[/tex]
Let's do the same calculations for the nucleus
initial Em₀ = 0
final Em_f = K + U = ½ M v_f ² + U
Em₀ = Em_f
0 = K + U
U = -K
U = - ½ M v_f ²
U = - ½ M [ [tex]\frac{2m}{m+M} \ v[/tex] ]²
U = [tex]\frac{2 m M }{m+M} \ v^2[/tex]
We can see that we obtain the same result, that is, the potential energy lost by the neutron is equal to the potential energy gained by the nucleus.
b) the fraction of energy lost
f = U / Em₀
f = 4 m M / m + M
c) let's calculate the fraction of energy lost in a collision
m = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ kg
M = 12 1.67 10⁻²⁷= 20 10⁻²⁷ kg
f = 4 1.6 20 / (1.6+ 20) 10⁻²⁷
f = 5.92 10⁻²⁷ J
the energy of a fast neutron is greater than 1 eV
Eo = 1 eV (1.67 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.67 10⁻¹⁹ J
Let's use a direct portion rule if in a collision f loses in how many collisions it loses 0.95Eo
#_collisions = 0.95 Eo / f
#_collisions = 0.95 1.67 10⁻¹⁹ / 5.92 10⁻²⁷
#_collisions = 2.7 10⁷ collisions

The signals for the monitor unit are transmitted as electromagnetic waves with a
wavelength of 0.125 m.
Wave speed of electromagnetic waves = 3 * 108 m/s
Calculate the frequency of the signal.
Answer:
Frequency = 24 × 10⁸ Hz
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Speed = 3 × 10⁸ m/s
Wavelength = 0.125 meters
To find the frequency of the electromagnetic wave;
Mathematically, the speed of a wave is given by the formula;
Speed = Wavelength × frequency
Substituting into the formula, we have;
3 × 10⁸ = 0.125 × frequency
Frequency = (3 × 10⁸)/0.125
Frequency = 24 × 10⁸ Hz

A dart is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 19 m/s toward point P, the bull's-eye on a dart board. It hits at point Q on the rim, vertically below P, 0.19 s later. (a) What is the distance PQ
Answer:
Explanation:
The dart will go forward horizontally with velocity of 19 m/s. It will also fall downwards with initial velocity of zero and gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s².
Distance PQ covered by the dart can be calculated using the following formula.
s = ut + 1/2 at²
u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and t is time.
Putting the values
s = 0 + 1/2 x 9.8 x .19²
= .1769 m
= 17.69 cm.

Two uses of static electricity and dangers of static electricity
Answer: The uses of static electricity include:
--> photocopying machines
--> precipitators
The dangers of static electricity include:
--> sparks that can lead to explosion
--> Damage to electronic equipment
Explanation:
STATIC electricity is defined as the imbalance that exists between a positive and a negative charge either within or outside an object. This is because all physical objects are made up of atoms which contains protons, electrons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged, the electrons are negatively charged, and the neutrons are neutral. This shows that physical objects are made up of charges.
Opposite charges attract each other (negative to positive). Like charges repel each other (positive to positive or negative to negative). Most of the time positive and negative charges are BALANCED in an object, which makes that object neutral.
Applications( uses) of static electricity include:
--> photocopying machines: Inkjet photocopiers and printers use static electricity to guide a minute jet of ink to the page’s precise position.
--> precipitators: the static electricity is applied in an electrostatic precipitator whereby they remove smoke from waste gases before they pass out of the chimneys in power stations that burn fossil fuels.
The disadvantages (dangers) of static electricity include:
--> Sparks that can lead to explosion: sparks generated from static electricity can cause fires or explosions due to the ignition of flammable or explosive mixtures.
--> Damage to electronic equipment: this is due to components from electrostatic discharge.

A car is stationary. It accelerates at 0.8 ms^2
for 10 s and then at 0.4 ms^2
for a further 10 s. Use
the equations of motion to deduce the car’s final displacement. You will have to split the journey
into two parts, since the acceleration changes after 10 s.
Answer:
the car’s final displacement is 60 m
Explanation:
Given;
initail velocity of the car, u = 0
acceleration of the car, a = 0.8 m/s²
time of motion, t = 10 s
The first displacement of the car:
[tex]x_1 = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\x_1 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (0.8)(10)^2\\\\x_1 = 40 \ m[/tex]
The second displacement of the car;
acceleration, a = 0.4 m/s², time of motion, t = 10 s
[tex]x_2 = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\x_2 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (0.4)(10)^2\\\\x_2 = 20 \ m[/tex]
The final displacement of the car;
x = x₁ + x₂
x = 40 m + 20 m
x = 60 m
Therefore, the car’s final displacement is 60 m

Now;
[tex]f = \frac{g.m1.m2}{ {d}^{2} } [/tex]
Keep all values;
[tex]f = \frac{6.67 \times {10}^{ - 11} \times 250 \times 400}{ {(100)}^{2} } [/tex]
Simplify
[tex]f = \frac{6.67 \times {10}^{ - 11} {10}^{5} }{10000} [/tex]
[tex]f = \frac{6.67 \times {10}^{ - 6} }{10000} [/tex]
Therefore, gravitational force is 6.67*10^-10.

Answer:
1000.
Explanation:
Thousand more steps could be taken when the number of cells was increased from 3 to 5 because in the data, the number of cells i.e. 5 was achieved on 1000 steps. According to the data, the number of cells i.e. 1 was achieved on 800 steps, the number of cells i.e. 5 was achieved on 1000 steps, the number of cells i.e. 2 was achieved on 600 steps, the number of cells i.e. 3 was achieved on 400 steps and the number of cells i.e. 4 was achieved on 200 steps. So we can say that 1000 steps are needed for the number of cells increased from 3 to 5.

In the hydraulic system depicted, the cylinder on the left has a diameter of 2 inches and the cylinder on the right has a diameter of 6 inches. If 100 lbs of force was applied to the cylinder on the left, what force would be exerted on the cylinder on the right
Answer:
F2 = 900 lbs
Explanation:
From pascal principle;
F1/A1 = F2/A2
Force on cylinder at left; F1 = 100 lbs
Diameter of cylinder at left; d1 = 2 inches
Diameter of cylinder at right; d2 = 6 inches
Formula for area of top of cylinder = πr²
Thus;
Area of top of left cylinder; A = π × 2² = 4π
Area of top of right cylinder; A = π × 6² = 36π
Thus;
100/4π = F2/36π
F2 = (36π × 100)/4π
F2 = 900 lbs

What is the acceleration of a motorcycle that starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 24 m/s in 8.5 seconds?
Answer:
2.82 m/s²
Explanation:
[tex]v = u + at \\ 24 = 0 + a(8.5) \\ a = 2.82 \: ms {}^{ - 2} [/tex]
The acceleration of a motorcycle is 2.82 m/s^2.
What is acceleration?Acceleration is the rate at which speed and direction of velocity vary over time. A point or object going straight ahead is accelerated when it accelerates or decelerates.
Even if the speed is constant, motion on a circle accelerates because the direction is always shifting. Both effects contribute to the acceleration for all other motions.
Given that:
Initial velocity of the motor cycle: u = 0 m/s.
Final velocity of the motorcycle = 24 meter/second.
Time taken to reach this velocity = 8.5 second.
Hence, acceleration of the motor cycle = change in velocity/time interval
= ( final velocity - initial velocity)/time interval
= ( 24 m/s - 0 m/s)/8.5 s
= 2.82 m/s^2.
Its acceleration is 2.82 m/s^2.

A boy im50kg at rest on a skateboard is pushed by another boy who exerts a force of 200 N on him. If the first boy's
final velocity is 8 m/s, what was the contact time?
seconds
Answer:
Time, t = 2 seconds
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass, m = 50 kg
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s (since it's starting from rest).
Final velocity, v = 8 m/s
Force, F = 200 N
To find the time, we would use the following formula;
[tex] F = \frac {m(v - u)}{t} [/tex]
Making time, t the subject of formula, we have;
[tex] t = \frac {m(v - u)}{F} [/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] t = \frac {50(8 - 0)}{200} [/tex]
[tex] t = \frac {50*(8)}{200} [/tex]
[tex] t = \frac {400}{200} [/tex]
Time, t = 2 seconds
