Answer:

46.4 s

Explanation:

5 minutes = 60 * 5 = 300 seconds

Let g = 9.8 m/s2. And \theta be the slope of the road, s be the distance of the road, a be the acceleration generated by Rob, 3a/4 is the acceleration generated by Jim .  Both of their motions are subjected to parallel component of the gravitational acceleration gsin\theta

Rob equation of motion can be modeled as s = a_Rt_R^2/2 = a300^2/2 = 45000a[/tex]

Jim equation of motion is s = a_Jt_J^2/2 = (3a/4)t_J^2/2 = 3at_J^2/8

As both of them cover the same distance

45000a = 3at_J^2/8

t_J^2 = 45000*8/3 = 120000

t_J = \sqrt{120000} = 346.4 s

So Jim should start 346.4 – 300 = 46.4 seconds earlier than Rob in other to reach the end at the same time

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Acceleration=24.9ft^2/s^2

Angular acceleration=1.47rads/s

Explanation:

Note before the ladder is inclined at 30° to the horizontal with a length of 16ft

Hence angular velocity = 6/8=0.75rad/s

acceleration Ab=Aa +(Ab/a)+(Ab/a)t

4+0.75^2*16+a*16

0=0.75^2*16cos30°-a*16sin30°---1

Ab=0+0.75^2sin30°+a*16cos30°----2

Solving equation 1

(0.75^2*16cos30/16sin30)=angular acceleration=a=1.47rad/s

Also from equation 2

Ab=0.75^2*16sin30+1.47*16cos30=24.9ft^2/s^2

Which of the following best describes a capacitor?
galben [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The capacitor is a component which has the ability to store energy in the form of an electrical charge  making a potential difference on those two metal plates

A capacitor consists of two or more parallel conductive (metal) plates. They are electrically seperated by an insulating material (ex: air, mica,ceramic etc.) which is called as Dielectric Layer

Due to this insulating layer, DC current can not flow through the capacitor.But it allows a voltage to be present across the plates in the form of an electrical charge.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

It took the projectile 120 s to reach the maximum height.

Explanation:

Given;

maximum height of the projectile, s = 180 km = 180,000 m

initial speed of the projectile, u = 3 km/s = 3000 m/s

final velocity at maximum height, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation for average velocity of the projectile;

s = (\frac{v+u}{2} )t\\\\(v+u)t = 2s\\\\t = \frac{2s}{v+u} \\\\t = \frac{2*180,000}{0+3,000}\\\\ t = 120 \ s

Therefore, it took the projectile 120 s to reach the maximum height.

Shareen performs a skit to model a method of charging. In the skit, a painter shakes her hand and gets paint on her.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

It models conduction because the painter represents a charged object and the paint represents electrons that are transferred through contact.

Explanation:

Conduction phenomenon of charging is the process of charging in which two bodies are made in contact with each other so that charges are transferred due to potential difference of two bodies.

here we know that when hands are shake then it will have paint on it. so here due to hand shake the hands are in contact with charge particles and due to contact the electrons are transferred to the hand.

Now here we need to assume that charge of paint must be opposite that of the charge on the hand because only due to opposite charge attraction the paint must be transferred to the hand

SO here correct answer will be

It models conduction because the painter represents a charged object and the paint represents electrons that are transferred through contact.
