Answer:

129.9 m/s = 130 m/s to 2 s.f

Explanation:

For projectile motion, the initial velocity combined with the angle of launch is used to obtain the initial horizontal and vertical components of the velocity.

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 150 m/s

uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s

uᵧ = u sin θ = 150 sin 30° = 75.0 m/s

In the motion of a projectile, the motion can literally be separated into vertical and horizontal components.

The vertical component has to do with the acceleration due to gravity (acting downwards) on the projectile and the vertical component of the velocity (which changes all through the motion of the projectile because of the force of gravity manifested in the form of acceleration due to gravity).

But there is no force acting in the horizontal direction, hence, no acceleration in the horizontal direction for projectile motion. This directly translates to a constant velocity in the horizontal direction all through the flight of the projectile.

Hence, the horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile at t = 4 s is the same as the horizontal component of the initial velocity.

Horizontal component of the Velocity at t = 4s is equal to uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s = 130 m/s

Answer:

129.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Vo = 150 m/s

θ = 30°

g = 10 m/s^2

Horizontal component, Vx = Vo cos θ

= 150 × cos 30

= 150 × 0.866

= 129.9 m/s.

A windowpane is half a centimeter thick and has an area of 1.0 m2. The temperature difference between the inside and outside sur
polet [3.4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the heat flux rate expressed in energetic terms. The rate of heat flow is the amount of heat that is transferred per unit of time in some material. Mathematically it can be expressed as:

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA}{L} (T_H - T_C)

Where

k = 0.84 J/s⋅m⋅°C (The thermal conductivity of the material)

A = 1m^2 Area

L = 5*10^{-3}m Length

T_H= Temperature of the "hot"reservoir

T_C= Temperature of the "cold"reservoir

Replacing with our values we have that,

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA}{L} (T_H - T_C)

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{(0.84)(1)}{0.005} (15)

\frac{Q}{t} = 2520J/s

Therefore the correct answer is B.

Sketch a position-time graph for a bear starting
Dmitrij [34]

Explanation:

hopefully that makes sense. the position doesn't change over the 5 seconds, meaning it's stopped but time still continues. then when the slope is negative this shows the bear's position becoming negative (backing up, changing direction).

Consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/sm/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average rate
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

455165.278 m

Explanation:

P = Power = 3.7 W

v = Velocity = 10.7 m/s

Amount of fat = 4 g

1 gram of fat provides about 9.40 (food) Calories

Energy given by 4 g of fat

E=4\times 9.4\times 4186\\\Rightarrow E=157393.6\ J

Time required to burn the fat

t=\dfrac{E}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{157393.6}{3.7}\\\Rightarrow t=42538.811\ s

Distance traveled by the bird

s=vt\\\Rightarrow s=10.7\times 42538.811\\\Rightarrow s=455165.2777\ m

The bird will fly 455165.278 m

Strong winds can destroy or prevent temperature inversion from forming. which city, des moines, iowa or denver, colorado is more
Paul [167]

Answer: DENVER, COLORADO

Explanation: Temperature inversion is the term used to describe the increase in temperature as the height increases towards the Toposphere, Temperature inversion is a reverse of the normal temperature flow or distribution in the atmosphere.

Denver, Colorado has been known to be one of the Cities of the World where temperature inversion occurs frequently. The TOPOGRAPHY of Denver, Colorado makes it prone to temperature inversion, Denver, Colorado is located at the foot of mountains.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

magnetic flux ΦB = 0.450324 ×10^{-7}  weber

current I = 1.02484 10^{-8}  A

Explanation:

Given data

length a = 2.2 cm = 0.022 m

width b = 0.80 cm = 0.008 m

Resistance R = 0.40 ohms

current I = 4.7 A

speed v = 3.2 mm/s = 0.0032 m/s

distance r = 1.5 b = 1.5 (0.008) = 0.012

to find out

magnitude of magnetic flux and the current induced

solution

we will find magnitude of magnetic flux thorough this formula that is

ΦB = ( μ I(a) /2 π ) ln [(r + b/2 ) /( r -b/2)]

here μ is 4π ×10^{-7} put all value

ΦB = (4π ×10^{-7}  4.7 (0.022) /2 π ) ln [(0.012+ 0.008/2 ) /( 0.012 -0.008/2)]

ΦB = 0.450324 ×10^{-7}  weber

and

current induced is

current =  ε / R

current = μ I(a) bv / 2πR [(r² ) - (b/2 )² ]

put all value

current = μ I(a) bv / 2πR [(r² ) - (b/2 )² ]

current = 4π ×10^{-7} (4.7) (0.022) (0.008) (0.0032) /  2π(0.40) [(0.012² ) - (0.008/2 )² ]

current = 1.02484 10^{-8}  A
