In an attempt to impress its friends, an acrobatic beetle runs and jumps off the bottom step of a flight of stairs. The step is

20 cm tall, and the beetle jumps with an initial velocity of 1.5m/s at an angle of 20∘ above the horizontal. How far from the base of the step does the beetle land on the ground?

Response:

0.3677181864 m

Explanation:

u = Velocity = 1.5 m/s

\theta = Angle = 20°

y = -20 cm

Components of velocity

u_x=ucos\theta\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.5cos20\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.40953\ m/s

u_y=usin\theta\\\Rightarrow u_y=1.5sin20\\\Rightarrow u_y=0.51303\ m/s

Components of acceleration

a_x=0

a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2

y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow -0.2=0.51303\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2-0.51303t-0.2=0

t=\frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)+\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}, \frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)-\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}\\\Rightarrow t=0.26088, -0.15629

The time taken is 0.26088 seconds

x=u_xt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\\Rightarrow x=1.40953\times 0.26088\\\Rightarrow x=0.3677181864\ m

The distance the beetle covers on the ground is 0.3677181864 m

A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second; and the m
Maru [3345]

Answer:

(A) The tension's magnitude grows to four times the initial value, 4F.

Explanation:

When an object travels in a circular path, a centripetal force is exerted upon it. In this instance, the centripetal force acting on the stone can be represented by \frac { m{ v }^{ 2 } }{ r }.

                   Here, m denotes the mass of the object

                               v is the velocity or speed of the object

                               r signifies the radius of the circular path

Importantly, the tension corresponds to the centripetal force.

Initially, the string completes one revolution each second, and subsequently, it accelerates to perform two revolutions in the same time frame. This signifies that the speed has increased twofold.

Applying our formula:F =\frac { m{ v }^{ 2 } }{ r }

                               where F indicates the tension in the string

assuming the starting speed is v, after doubling it becomes 2v

Maintaining the circle's radius, we arrive at:

F=\frac { m{ (2v) }^{ 2 } }{ r } =\frac { 4m{ v }^{ 2 } }{ r }

From this equation, it's clear that the initial tension has quadrupled.

Consequently, the magnitude of the tension increases to four times its original value, 4F.

Maru [3345]
1 meter per second converts to 2.237 miles per hour

therefore, 83 m/sec is equal to 185.666 miles per hour!!...here is the answer!!

Write a hypothesis about the effect of increasing voltage on the current in the circuit. Use the "if . . . then . . . because .
Yuliya22 [3333]

Hypothesis: An increase in voltage should result in a corresponding rise in current because according to Ohm's Law,

I \propto V

I=\frac{V}{R}

Ohm's Law indicates that current is proportional to voltage when resistance remains constant. Hence, if resistance stays the same, elevating the voltage will lead to an increase in current. Conversely, if voltage remains unchanged and resistance increases, current will decrease.

Yuliya22 [3333]
Bursitis refers to the irritation or injury of the small fluid-filled sacs called bursae that are located around the joints. This condition can lead to pain during movement or when the affected area is pressed. Occasionally, a rash may also develop. Thank you for your inquiry; I trust this information will be beneficial.
