Answer:

15.1°

Explanation:

The hockey puck maintains a constant horizontal velocity during its motion, as no forces act along that axis:

v_x = 23.2 m/s

Conversely, the vertical velocity is affected due to gravitational acceleration:

v_y(t)= v_{y0} -gt(1)

where

v_{y0}=0 is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration caused by gravity

t is the time

Because the hockey puck falls from a height of h=2.00 m, the time needed to hit the ground is given by

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.00 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=0.64 s

Substituting the time into (1) allows us to find the final vertical velocity

v_y = -(9.8 m/s^2)(0.64 s)=-6.3 m/s

where the negative symbol indicates that the velocity is directed downward.

Now that we possess both velocity components, we can determine the angle relative to the horizontal:

tan \theta = \frac{|v_y|}{v_x}=\frac{6.3 m/s}{23.2 m/s}=0.272\\\theta = tan^{-1} (0.272)=15.1^{\circ}

A 9.0-V battery moves 20 mC of charge through a circuit running from its positive terminal to its negative terminal. How much en
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

The energy delivered is E = 0.18 J

Explanation:

Given,

Battery voltage, V = 9 V

Charge in the circuit, Q = 20 mC

                                        = 20 x 10³ C

Energy supplied in the circuit can be computed as

E = Q V

E = 20 x 10⁻³ x 9

E =  180 x 10⁻³

E equals 0.18 J.

The energy delivered in the circuit is therefore E = 0.18 J

Suppose an electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled (i.e., the length and radius have twice th
Softa [3030]

Response:

The new resistance is half of the original resistance.

Explanation:

Resistance in a wire is represented by:

R=\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

\rho = resistivity of the material

L and A are the physical dimensions

If a wire is exchanged for one where all linear dimensions are doubled, i.e. l' = 2l and r' = 2r

The updated resistance of the wire can be calculated as follows:

R'=\dfrac{\rho L'}{A'}

R'=\dfrac{\rho (2L)}{\pi (2r)^2}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}R

The new resistance equals half of the original resistance. Thus, this provides the solution needed.

Albert uses as his unit of length (for walking to visit his neighbors or plowing his fields) the albert (a), the distance albert
Yuliya22 [3333]

To tackle this question, we know the following:

1 Albert equals 88 meters.

1 A = 88 m.

Initially, we square both sides of the equation:

(1 A)^2 = (88 m)^2

1 A^2 = 7,744 m^2

<span>Since 1 acre equals 4,050 m^2, let’s divide both sides by 7,744 to find out how many acres match this value:</span>

1 A^2 / 7,744 = 7,744 m^2 / 7,744

(1 / 7,744) A^2 = 1 m^2

Then multiply both sides by 4,050.

(4050 / 7744) A^2 = 4050 m^2

0.523 A^2 = 4050 m^2

<span>Thus, one acre is approximately 0.52 square alberts.</span>

The newly formed xenon nucleus is left in an excited state. Thus, when it decays to a state of lower energy a gamma ray is emitt
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:3.87*10^-4

Explanation:

To determine the mass reduction, delta mass Xe, of the xenon nucleus due to its decay, we first use the provided wavelength of the gamma radiation to calculate its frequency via c = freq*wavelength.

From C=f*lambda we set up: 3*10^8=f*3.44*10^-12.

Solving gives frequency F=0.87*10^20 Hz.

Next, we calculate the emitted energy using the equation E=hf, which translates to E=f*Planck's constant.

Thus, E=0.87*10^20*6.62*10^-34, resulting in E=575.94*10^(-16).

This energy is then converted from joules to MeV.

Utilizing the formula E=mc^2, with c^2 = 931.5 MeV/u, enables us to find the reduction in mass, yielding

3.87*10^-4 u.
