Answer:

The canyon measures 50.176 meters deep.

Explanation:

The student drops a rock from the rim of the canyon, requiring us to ascertain the depth of the canyon—name how far the ground is below the cliff.

The data we have:

Time = t = 3.2 s

Initial velocity = v_{i} = 0 m/s

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h =?

According to the second equation of motion

h = v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Given the initial velocity is zero, the right-hand side of the equation simplifies to zero

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

h = (0.5)(9.8)(3.2)²

h = 50.176 m

This calculation indicates that the rock dropped a distance of 50.176 meters to reach the canyon's base. Thus, the canyon depth is 50.176 meters.

Respuesta:

11.4 m/s

Explicación:

La fórmula para la aceleración centrípeta es:

a=\frac{v^2}{R}

donde, a es la aceleración, v la velocidad alrededor de la circunferencia y R el radio del círculo.

En este problema,

a = g = aceleración debida a la gravedad en la cima = 9.81\ m/s^2

v = ?

R = 13.2 m

Por lo tanto,

9.81=\frac{v^2}{13.2}

v^2=9.81\times {13.2}

v = 11.4 m/s

The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on its mass and its speed. Rank the following sets of oranges and cantaloupes
Sav [3153]

mass₃<mass₁=mass₅<mass₂=mass₄

Explanation:

Data points:-

1. mass:  m      speed: v

2. mass: 4 m   speed: v

3. mass: 2 m   speed: ¼ v

4. mass: 4 m   speed: v

5. mass: 4 m   speed: ½ v

We know that the formula for Kinetic energy (KE) is ½ mv²

Where m represents the mass of the object

           v represents the object's velocity

<psubstituting the="" given="" values="" for="" mass="" and="" speed="" from="" previous="" data:="">

The KE of Body 1(mass₁) = ½*m*v²             = mv²/2

KE of Body 2(mass₂) = ½*4m*v²         = 2mv²

KE of Body 3(mass₃) = ½*2m*(1/4v)²  =  mv²/16

KE of Body 4(mass₄) = ½*4m*v ²        =  2mv ²

KE of Body 5(mass₅) = ½*4m*(1/2v)²  =   mv²/2

Suppose that a charged particle of diameter 1.00 micrometer moves with constant speed in an electric field of magnitude 1.00×105
Ostrovityanka [3204]
This is somewhat misleading, and I encountered the same question in my homework. An electric field strength of 1*10^5 N/C is provided, along with a drag force of 7.25*10^-11 N, and the critical detail is that it maintains a constant velocity, indicating that the particle is in equilibrium and not accelerating.
<span>To solve, utilize F=(K*Q1*Q2)/r^2 </span>
<span>You'll want to equate F with the drag force, where the electric field strength translates to (K*Q2)/r^2; substituting the values results in </span>
<span>(7.25*10^-11 N) = (1*10^5 N/C)*Q1 ---> Q1 = 7.25*10^-16 C </span>
