you are hiking along a river and see a tall tree on thhe opposite bank. You measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tre

e and find it to be 61 degree. You then walk 50 feet directly away from the tree and measure the angle of elevation. If the second measurement is 49.5 degree, how tall is the tree?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree is y and the distance of tree from point B is x.

According to the diagram

tan61 = \frac{y}{x}

x = 0.55 y ..... (1)

tan49.5 = \frac{y}{50+x}

(50 + 0.55y) 1.17 = y ..... from equation (1)

58.5 + 0.644 y = y

0.356 y = 58.5

y = 164.3 ft

The pail is rotated at a constant rate so it has the minimum speed at all points along its circular path. The water has mass m.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pail is rotated at a constant rate in vertical circular path  so it has the minimum speed at all points along its circular path . That means at top position the velocity is almost zero. In that case the centripetal force at top position will be provided by its weight or

mg = mv² / r ( r is radius of  vertical circular path )

v = √ rg

At the bottom position its velocity will be increased due to loss of potential energy

so 1/2 m V² = 1/2 m v² + mg x 2r  

V =√ 5 gr

If R be the reaction force at the bottom by bottom of pail

R - mg = mV² / r

R = mg +mV² / r

= mg + m x 5gr / r

R = 6mg

This is the magnitude of the force exerted by the water on the bottom of the pail .

Dawn and Aram have stretched a slinky between them and begin experimenting with waves. As the frequency of the waves is doubled
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

halved

Explanation:

The velocity of the a wave is obtained by multiplying the frequency and wavelength.

v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Where

v = Velocity

f = Frequency

\lambda = Wavelength

The velocity here is constant. So, if the frequency is doubled the wavelength is halved.

Question 1
Vesna [10]

Answer:

1)  g = 4π² / m, 3) xaxis the  length of the pendulums and the y axis the period squared

Explanation:

a) students can approximate this system to a simple pendulum, in this case the angular velocity is

         w = √ g / l

angular velocity, frequency and period are related

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

we substitute

         T = 2π√ l / g

with this equation they can determine the value of the acceleration of gravity, for this they measure the period for various lengths of the pendulum and graph

        T² = 4π²  l / g

We graph T² vs l

where this is the equation of a line if the independent variable is y = T² and x = l

        y = (4π² / g)  l

so the slope is

         m = 4π² / g

clearing

         g = 4π² / m

where the slope can be found with the values ​​of the line not the experimental values.

2) to carry out the experiment, or the thread is attached to the sphere, the length of the pendulum that goes from the pivot point to the center of the sphere is measured with a tape measure and a small finished angle is turned or less than 10th is released, it is good to wait for the first oscillation to walk, the time of a determined number of oscillations is generally measured 10 or 20, the period is calculated

    T = t / n

a table of T² against the length is made and it is plotted with the length in the ax ax, we look for the slope and hence the acceleration of gravity

3) on the independent x-axis, the controlled variable must be plotted, which is the length of the pendulums, and on the y-axis, the dependent variable is the period squared

4) of the equation of the line

            m = 4pi2 / g

                 where it ends up reaching the floor

            g = 4pi2 / m

5) when the spring is cut, the sphere remains under the effect of gravity acceleration, the harmonic movement disappears and the sphere is in a vertical movement

A girl rolls a ball up an incline and allows it to re- turn to her. For the angle and ball involved, the acceleration of the bal
zalisa [80]

Answer:

3.28 m

3.28 s

Explanation:

We can adopt a system of reference with an axis along the incline, the origin being at the position of the girl and the positive X axis going up slope.

Then we know that the ball is subject to a constant acceleration of 0.25*g (2.45 m/s^2) pointing down slope. Since the acceleration is constant we can use the equation for constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

X0 = 0

V0 = 4 m/s

a = -2.45 m/s^2 (because the acceleration is down slope)

Then:

X(t) = 4*t - 1.22*t^2

And the equation for speed is:

V(t) = V0 + a * t

V(t) = 4 - 2.45 * t

If we equate this to zero we can find the moment where it stops and begins rolling down, that will be the highest point:

0 = 4 - 2.45 * t

4 = 2.45 * t

t = 1.63 s

Replacing that time on the position equation:

X(1.63) = 4 * 1.63 - 1.22 * 1.63^2 = 3.28 m

To find the time it will take to return we equate the position equation to zero:

0 = 4 * t - 1.22 * t^2

Since this is a quadratic equation it will have to answers, one will be the moment the ball was released (t = 0), the other will eb the moment when it returns:

0 = t * (4 - 1.22*t)

t1 = 0

0 = 4 - 1.22*t2

1.22 * t2 = 4

t2 = 3.28 s

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

A) He finds the same value of q / m for different materials , B)      y = ½ (q / m) E L² / v₀ₓ² , C) v = E / B , D)   B = 2.13 10⁻⁶ T, E) For the first part I have two off-center points., For the second part I can center one point but the other is off center

Therefore the third statement is correct

Explanation:

Part A

Thomson's experiments are the first proof that the atoms that until now were considered indivisible were constituted by different elements, in these experiments Thomson himself the ratio q / m of several cathodes and always found the same value, which allowed to establish that In atoms there are two types of particles, some of which are mobile and others are still.

When examining his statements the correct one is: He finds the same value of q / m for different materials

Part B

For this part let's use Newton's second law

        F = ma

        q E = m a

        a = q / m E

We use the kinematic relationship

          y = voy t - ½ to t²

          x = v₀ₓ t

The initial vertical velocity of electrons is zero

           y = ½ a (x / v₀ₓ)²

We replace

           y = ½ (q / m) E L² / v₀ₓ²

Part C

If there is no deflection, the electric and magnetic forces are the same and in the opposite direction

         Fm = Fe

         q v B = q E

          v = E / B

Part D

       

        We replace

        y = ½ (q / m) E L² / (E / B)²

         y = ½ (q / m) L² B² / E

If we do not want any deflection the magnetic field has to return the electrons the amount that they lower y = -4.12 cm

      -4.12 10⁻² = ½ q / m 0.12² B² / 1.1 10³

       -16.97 10⁻⁴ = 6.54 10⁻³ B² q / m

      B² = -2.59 10⁻¹ q / m

      q / m = -1.758 10¹¹ C/ kg

      B = √ 0.259 1.758 10¹¹ = √ 4.55 10⁻¹²

      B = 2.13 10⁻⁶ T

Part E

As the charge that the two particles is different

For the first part I have two off-center points.

For the second part I can center one point but the other is off center

Therefore the third statement is correct
