Answer:

The shell lands 963 m away from the cliff’s base.

Explanation:

Projectile Motion

Consider an object that is propelled from a height yo above ground level with an initial velocity vo and angle \theta with respect to the horizontal. The height of this object at any time t can be calculated by

\displaystyle y=y_o+v_o\ sin\theta \ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

Meanwhile, the horizontal distance it covers at any instant t is given by

\displaystyle X=v_o\ cos\theta\ t

The shell is projected at 100 m/s at a 30° angle, starting from a height of 50 m. We must determine when the shell impacts the ground after being launched. Substituting the known values into the formula:

\displaystyle 50+100\ sin\ 30^o\ t-\frac{9.8t^2}{2}=0

By simplifying and rearranging the equation

\displaystyle -4.9\ t^2+50\ t+50=0

This leads to a quadratic equation in terms of t, which yields two real solutions:

\displaystyle t=11.125\ sec,\ t=-0.92\ sec

Only the positive solution is considered since time cannot be negative. Now that we have the duration of the flight, we can compute how far from the cliff's base the shell hits the ground

\displaystyle X=100\cdot cos\ 30^o\cdot 11.12

\displaystyle \boxed{X=963\ m}

The shell lands 963 m away from the cliff’s base.

A solid conducting sphere carrying charge q has radius a. It is inside a concentric hollow conducting sphere with inner radius b
Softa [3030]

Response:

Clarification:

Refer to the diagram indicating the charges on the specified sphere (see attachment).

The electric field at the stated positions is

E(r) = 0 for r≤a.  Equation 1

E(r) = kq/r² for a<r<b.   Equation 2

E(r) = 0 for b<r<c.      Equation 3

E(r) = kq/r² for r>c.    Equation 4.

We understand that electric potential correlates with the electric field through

V = Ed

A. To compute the potential at the outer surface of the hollow sphere (r=c), we determine that the electric field there is

E = kQ / r²

Then,

V = Ed,

At d = r = c

Thus,

Vc = (kQ / c²) × c

Vc = kQ / c

As a result, the total charge Q consists of +q, -q, and +q

Hence, Q = q - q + q = q

V = kq / c

B. To calculate the potential at the inner surface of the hollow sphere (r=b), we have

V = kQ/r

V = kQ / b,   noting that r = b

So, Q = q

V = kq / b

C. At r = a

Following from equation 1:

E(r) = 0 for r≤a.  Equation 1

The electric field at the surface of the solid sphere is 0, E = 0N/C

Thus,

V = Ed = 0 V

Consequently, the electric potential at the solid sphere's surface is 0.

D. At r = 0

The electric potential can be determined by

V = kq / r

As r approaches 0,

V = kq / 0

V approaches infinity.

Modern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Each blade resembles a rod with its axis positioned near one end.

The moment of inertia for one blade is:

= 1/3 x m l²

where m stands for the mass of the blade

l represents the length of each blade.

Total moment of inertia for 3 blades is:

= 3 x\frac{1}{3}  x m l²

ml²

2 )

Details provided include:

m = 5500 kg

l = 45 m

Substituting these values produces:

moment of inertia of one blade:

= 1/3 x 5500 x 45 x 45

= 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

Moment of inertia for 3 blades:

= 3 x 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

= 111.375 x 10⁵ kg.m²

c )

Angular momentum

= I x ω

I denotes the moment of inertia of the turbine

ω symbolizes angular velocity

ω = 2π f

f indicates the rotational frequency of the blades

d )

We have I = 111.375 x 10⁵ kg.m² (Calculated)

f = 11 rpm (revolutions per minute)

= 11 / 60 revolutions per second

ω = 2π f

=  2π x  11 / 60 rad / s

Calculating angular momentum yields

= I x ω

111.375 x 10⁵ kg.m² x  2π x  11 / 60 rad / s

= 128.23 x 10⁵  kgm² s⁻¹.

A careful photographic survey of Jupiter’s moon Io by the spacecraft Voyager 1 showed active volcanoes spewing liquid sulfur to
Sav [3153]

Answer:

529.15 m/s

Explanation:

h = Highest point = 70000 m

g = Gravitational acceleration = 2 m/s²

m = Sulfur's mass

Since both potential and kinetic energies are conserved

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2\times 70000}\\\Rightarrow v=529.15\ m/s

The velocity at which the liquid sulfur exited the volcano is 529.15 m/s

camera was able to deliver 1.3 frames per second for this photo, and that the car has a length of approximately 5.3 meters. Usin
Sav [3153]

The question lacks details. Here is the full question.

The accompanying image was captured with a camera capable of shooting between one and two frames per second. A series of photos was merged into this single image, meaning the vehicles depicted are actually the same car, documented at different intervals.

Assuming the camera produced 1.3 frames per second for this image and that the length of the car is approximately 5.3 meters, based on this information and the photo, how fast was the car moving?

Answer: v = 6.5 m/s

Explanation: The problem requires calculating the car's velocity. Velocity can be computed using:

v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Since the camera captured 7 images of the car and its length is noted as 5.3, the car's displacement is:

Δx = 7(5.3)

Δx = 37.1 m

The camera operates at 1.3 frames per second and recorded 7 images, thus the time driven by the car is:

1.3 frames = 1 s

7 frames = Δt

Δt = 5.4 s

<pconsequently the="" car="" was="" driving="" at:="">

v=\frac{37.1}{5.4}

v = 6.87 m/s

<pthe car="" moved="" at="" an="" estimated="">velocity of 6.87 m/s.

The structural diversity of carbon-based molecules is determined by which properties?
Yuliya22 [3333]

Explanation:

The diverse structures of carbon-based compounds are influenced by several factors:

1. the capacity of bonds to rotate freely,

2. the ability of carbon to create four covalent bonds,

3. the spatial arrangement of bonds resembling a tetrahedron.
