Answer:

D) 42.87 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes him to land.  Given in the y direction:

Δy = 60 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

60 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 3.5 s

Next, find the speed needed to travel the horizontal distance in that time.  Given in the x direction:

Δx = 60 m

a = 0 m/s²

t = 3.5 s

Find: v₀

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

150 m = v₀ (3.5 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

v₀ = 42.87 m/s

Workers do 8000 J of work on a 2000-N crate to push it up a ramp. If the ramp is 2 m high, what is the efficiency of the ramp?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Efficiency = work out / work in

e = Fd / W

e = (2000 N) (2 m) / (8000 J)

e = 0.5

A girl is shown at position A on a swing when the seat is directly below the support bar. The seat is then at height A as shown
MrRa [10]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>1. The potential energy of the swing is the greatest at the position B.</u>

  • <u>2. As the swing moves from point B to point A, the kinetic energy is increasing.</u>

Explanation:

Even though the syntax of the text is not completely clear, likely because it accompanies a drawing that is not included, it results clear that the posittion A is where the seat is at the lowest position, and the position B is upper.

The gravitational <em>potential energy </em>is directly proportional to the height of the objects with respect to some reference altitude. Thus, when the seat is at the position A the swing has the smallest potential energy and when the seat is at the <em>position B the swing has the greatest potential energy.</em>

Regarding the forms of energy, as the swing moves from point B to point A, it is going downward, gaining kinetic energy (speed) at the expense of the potential energy (losing altitude). When the seat passes by the position A, the kinetic energy is maximum and the potential energy is miminum. Then the seat starts to gain altitude again, losing the kinetic energy and gaining potential energy, up to it gets to the other end,

A single slit, which is 0.050 mm wide, is illuminated by light of 550 nm wavelength. What is the angular separation between the
likoan [24]

Answer:

The separation between the first two minima on either side is 0.63 degrees.

Explanation:

A diffraction experiment consists on passing monochromatic light trough a small single slit, at some distance a light diffraction pattern is projected on a screen. The diffraction pattern consists on intercalated dark and bright fringes that are symmetric respect the center of the screen, the angular positions of the dark fringes θn can be find using the equation:

a\sin \theta_n=n\lambda

with a the width of the slit, n the number of the minimum and λ the wavelength of the incident light. We should find the position of the n=1 and n=2 minima above the central maximum because symmetry the angular positions of n=-1 and n=-2 that are the angular position of the minima below the central maximum, then:

for the first minimum

a\sin \theta_1=(1)\lambda

solving for θ1:

\theta_1=\arcsin (\frac{\lambda}{a})=\arcsin (\frac{550\times10^{-9}}{0.05\times10^{-3}})

\theta_1=0.63 degrees

for the second minimum:

a\sin \theta_2=(2)\lambda

\theta_2=\arcsin (\frac{2\lambda}{a})=\arcsin (\frac{2*550\times10^{-9}}{0.05\times10^{-3}})

\theta_2=1.26 degrees

So, the angular separation between them is the rest:

\Delta \theta =1.26-0.63

\Delta \theta=0.63

Fill in the blanks to complete each statement about weathering. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles call
nevsk [136]

Answer:

sediments

Explanation:

Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles called:

                 sediments

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decay of rocks into smaller fragments to produce sediments. The product of rock weathering is basically sediments. Some of the sediments can be transformed to form soils when they combine with organic matter, water and air.

Physical weathering is when rocks are physically broken into smaller pieces, but the minerals in  the rock remain the same.

             Physical weathering

Physical weathering is the disintegration of rocks into smaller bits without altering the chemical make up of the minerals. The goal of physical weathering is to expose rock surface to action of chemical weathering.

When a rock is broken down in a way that changes the mineral composition, it is called  chemical weathering

          chemical weathering

Chemical weathering is the decay of rocks by altering the minerals in a rock.
