Answer: 0.361:1

Explanation:

Range can be represented as U^2sin2Φ/g

And maximum height is given by U^2 sin^2Φ/2g

Taking Φ as 45,

Range = U^2sin90/g

With Sin90=1,

Range= U^2/g

For maximum height,

It becomes U^2sin^2(45)/2g.

That equals 0.723U^2/2g

The ratio of max height to range becomes

0.723U^2/2g*g/U^2

Resulting in 0.723/2

Which equals 0.361

Consider a 4-mg raindrop that falls from a cloud at a height of 2 km. When the raindrop reaches the ground, it won't kill you or
inna [2210]

Answer:

The work performed by air resistance totals -0.0782 J

Explanation:

Hello!

According to the principle of conservation of energy, the energy of a raindrop must remain constant.

At the outset, the raindrop possesses only gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass of the raindrop.

g = gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s²)

h = height.

Let's determine the initial potential energy of the raindrop:

(4 mg should be converted into kg: 4 mg · 1 kg / 1 × 10⁶ mg = 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg)

PE = 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg · 9.8 m/s² · 2000 m

PE = 0.0784 J

As the raindrop descends, some of its potential energy converts into kinetic energy while the rest is lost to the air resistance. Upon reaching the ground, all initial potential energy has been either turned into kinetic energy or spent overcoming air resistance:

initial PE = final KE + Work by air

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

Work by air = work done by air resistance.

The kinetic energy at ground level is computed as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass

v = velocity

<pThus:

KE = 1/2 · 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg · (10 m/s)²

KE = 2 × 10⁻⁴ J

Now, we can find the work done by air resistance:

initial PE = final KE + Work by air

0.0784 J = 2 × 10⁻⁴ J + Work by air

Work by air = 0.0784 J - 2 × 10⁻⁴ J

Work by air = 0.0782 J

Since work is performed in the opposite direction to movement, this results in a negative value. Therefore, the work done by air resistance is -0.0782 J.

Water, of density 1000 kg/m3, is flowing in a drainage channel of rectangular cross-section. The width of the channel is 15 m, t
ValentinkaMS [2425]

Answer:

The flow rate of water is (300000kg/s) = (300000l/s)

Explanation:

To compute the volume of moving fluid per second in the channel, we consider the channel's section, the water depth, and the fluid velocity:

Volume flow rate = 15m × 8m × (2.5m/s) = 300 m³/s

To find the mass or liters of water flowing per second, multiply the volume of circulating fluid by the water's density:

Flow rate of water = (300m³/s) × (1000kg/m³) = (300000kg/s) = (300000l/s)

It is important to note that 1kg of water is approximately equivalent to 1 liter.

Softa [2035]
B. The charge on A is -q; B has no charge. Given that a positive charge is situated at the center of an uncharged metallic sphere which is insulated and disconnected from the ground, a negative charge (-q) will appear on the inner surface A of the sphere. Should the exterior surface B be grounded, it will become neutral, resulting in no charge remaining on surface B.

Suppose that A’, B’ and C’ are at rest in frame S’, which moves with respect to S at speed v in the +x direction. Let B’ be loca
Keith_Richards [2263]

Response:

1) An observer in B 'perceives the two events occurring at the same time

2) Observer B recognizes that the events happen at different times

3)  Δt = Δt₀ /√ (1 + v²/c²)

Clarification:

This scenario illustrates the concept of simultaneity in special relativity. It is important to keep in mind that light's speed remains constant across all inertial frames

1) Since the events are stationary within the frame S ', they propagate at the constant speed of light, resulting in them reaching observation point B'—located equidistantly between both events—simultaneously

Thus, an observer in B 'observes the two events occurring at the same time

2) For an observer B situated within frame S attached to the Earth, both events at A and B appear to take place at the same moment. However, the event at A covers a shorter distance, while the event at B travels a longer distance, since frame S 'is in motion at velocity + v. Hence, with a constant speed, the event covering the lesser distance is perceived first.

Consequently, observer B perceives that the events do not occur simultaneously

3) Let's determine the timing for each event

        Δt = Δt₀ /√ (1 + v²/c²)

where t₀ represents the time in the S' frame, which remains at rest for the events

Calculate the critical angle between glass (n = 1.90) and ice (n = 1.31)? 43° 52° 60° 75°
Maru [2360]
According to Snell’s Law: Where: is the index of refraction of the first medium (glass), and is the index of refraction of the second medium (ice). The angle of incidence and the angle of refraction are represented by and. The refractive index quantifies the speed of light in a medium. The critical angle is identified as the angle at which total internal reflection occurs, meaning no light passes through into another medium. This phenomenon happens only when the light is transitioning from a medium with a higher index of refraction to one with a lower index of refraction.
