Answer:

648 m

Explanation:

Let the length of slope be 'L' m.

Given:

Initial velocity of the child (u) = 0

Angle of inclination of the slope (x) = 15.0°

Time taken to reach the bottom (t) = 22.6 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

No frictional forces act.

Now, acceleration acting on the child along the slope can be determined by resolving the acceleration due to gravity along the slope.

So, acceleration along the slope is given as:

$a_{slope}=g\sin(x)=9.8\sin(15)=2.536\ m/s^2$

Now, use to equation of motion along the slope to find the length of slope.

Therefore,

$L=ut+\frac{1}{2}a_{slope}t^2\\\\L=0+\frac{1}{2}(2.536)(22.6)^2\\\\L=1.268\times 510.76=647.6\approx 648\ m$

Therefore, the slope is 648 m long.

Option (1) is correct.

A plane flying at 70.0 m/s suddenly stalls. If the acceleration during the stall is 9.8 m/s2 directly downward, the stall lasts

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

v = 66.4 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that plane is moving initially at speed of

$v = 70 m/s$

now we have

$v_x = 70 cos25$

$v_x = 63.44 m/s$

$v_y = 70 sin25$

$v_y = 29.6 m/s$

now in Y direction we can use kinematics

$v_y = v_i + at$

$v_y = 29.6 - (9.81 \times 5)$

$v_y = -19.5 m/s$

since there is no acceleration in x direction so here in x direction velocity remains the same

so we will have

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{63.44^2 + 19.5^2}$

$v = 66.4 m/s$

Assume that the particle has initial speed viviv_i. Find its final kinetic energy KfKfK_f in terms of viviv_i, MMM, FFF, and DDD

NeX [460]

Answer:

KE= 1/2mv²

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by virtue of the body in motion

Given the parameters

m which is the mass of the body

v which is the velocity of the body too

K.E = kinetic energy

The expression for the kinetic energy of a body is given as

KE= 1/2mv²

If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each

g100num [7]

Answer:

1.

Firstly removing off one strip and it leaves electrons behind, so the strip becomes positively charged.

2. The roll however is not negatively charged because it is "earthed " by the hand holding it, thus excess negatives repel each other away through the hand.

3.Tearing off the next strip and once more it leaves electrons behind, the new strip is also positively charged and will repel the first strip.

4. Then, tear two strips apart and one will leave electrons behind on the other. Meaning that one strip is positive and the other is negative and they will attract each other.

A 6.70 −μC particle moves through a region of space where an electric field of magnitude 1500 N/C points in the positive x direc

Alborosie

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 6.70 −μC particle moves through a region of space where an electric field of magnitude 1500 N/C points in the positive x direction, and a magnetic field of magnitude 1.25 T points in the positive z direction.

A) If the net force acting on the particle is $6.21 \times 10^{-3}$ N in the positive x direction, find the components of the particle's velocity. Assume the particle's velocity is in the x-y plane.

Enter your answers numerically separated by commas.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Q = $6.50 \times 10^{-6} C$

E = 1300 N/C in the +x direction

B = 1.02 T in the +z direction

and, $F_{net} = 6.25 \times 10^{-3} N$ in the +x direction

Also, $F_{net} = F_{E} - F_{b}$

= qE - qvB

Now, we will calculate the value of v as follows.

v = $(\frac{1}{B}) \times (E - \frac{F_{net}}{q})$

= $(\frac{1}{1.02 T}) \times (1300 - \frac{6.25 \times 10^{-3}}{6.50 \times 10^{-6}})$

v = 458.507 m/s

Using the value for velocity, we need to know which direction it's going.

You know +x direction for E, +z direction for B and +x for $F_{net}$ .

Using the right hand rule where:

your right thumb goes toward the $F_{net}$ , then your index finger points to B (z direction) Then curl your middle, ring, and pink 90 angle. This shows where v is going which is -y direction.

Thus, we can conclude that $v_{x}, v_{y}, v_{z}$ = 0, -(458.507), 0.
