Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 4.15 m/s . Her husband Bruce suddenly reali

zes that she left in such a hurry that she forgot her lunch of bagels, so he runs to the window of their apartment, which is a height 44.4 m above the street level and directly above the sidewalk, to throw them to her. Bruce throws them horizontally at a time 8.00 s after Henrietta has passed below the window, and she catches them on the run. You can ignore air resistance.
Required:
a. With what initial speed must Bruce throw the bagels so Henrietta can catch them just before they hit the ground?
b. Where is Henrietta when she catches the bagels?

Answer:

a 15.22 m/s

b 45.65 m

Explanation:

Using the same formula,

x = vt, where

x is now 45.65, and

t is 3 s, then

45.65 = 3v

v = 45.65/3

v = 15.22 m/s

See the attachment for the part b. We used the distance gotten in part B, to find question A

A responder can protect himself/herself from radiation by using shielding as a response action. What materials are best for prot

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Few millimeter thick aluminium, water, wood, acrylic glass or plastic.

Explanation:

The materials that are best for protection against beta particles are few millimeter thickness of aluminium, but for the high energy beta-particles radiations the low atomic mass materials such as plastic, wood, water and acrylic glass can be used.

These materials can also be used in personal protective equipment which includes all the clothing that can be worn to prevent any injury or illness due to the exposure to radiation.

A group of students prepare for a robotic competition and build a robot that can launch large spheres of mass M in the horizonta

jeyben [28]

Answer:

$V_0$

Explanation:

Given that, the range covered by the sphere, $M$ , when released by the robot from the height, $H$ , with the horizontal speed $V_0$ is $D$ as shown in the figure.

The initial velocity in the vertical direction is $0$ .

Let $g$ be the acceleration due to gravity, which always acts vertically downwards, so, it will not change the horizontal direction of the speed, i.e. $V_0$ will remain constant throughout the projectile motion.

So, if the time of flight is $t$ , then

$D=V_0t\; \cdots (i)$

Now, from the equation of motion

$s=ut+\frac 1 2 at^2\;\cdots (ii)$

Where $s$ is the displacement is the direction of force, $u$ is the initial velocity, $a$ is the constant acceleration and $t$ is time.

Here, $s= -H, u=0,$ and $a=-g$ (negative sign is for taking the sigh convention positive in $+y$ direction as shown in the figure.)

So, from equation (ii),

$-H=0\times t +\frac 1 2 (-g)t^2$

$\Rightarrow H=\frac 1 2 gt^2$

$\Rightarrow t=\sqrt {\frac {2H}{g}}\;\cdots (iii)$

Similarly, for the launched height $2H$ , the new time of flight, $t'$ , is

$t'=\sqrt {\frac {4H}{g}}$

From equation (iii), we have

$\Rightarrow t'=\sqrt 2 t\;\cdots (iv)$

Now, the spheres may be launched at speed $V_0$ or $2V_0$ .

Let, the distance covered in the $x-$ direction be $D_1$ for $V_0$ and $D_2$ for $2V_0$ , we have

$D_1=V_0t'$

$D_1=V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=1.41 D$ (approximately)

This is in the $3$ points range as given in the figure.

Similarly, $D_2=2V_0t'$

$D_2=2V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2.82 D$ (approximately)

This is out of range, so there is no point for $2V_0$ .

Hence, students must choose the speed $V_0$ to launch the sphere to get the maximum number of points.

A person who climbs up something (e.g., a hill, a ladder, the stairs) from the ground gains potential energy. a person's weight

zhannawk [14.2K]

We are given the following values:

weight w = 240 lb = 1,067.52 N

energy E = 3,000 J

The formula for potential energy is:

E = w h

where h is the height the person has to climb, therefore:

h = 3000 / 1067.52

<span>h = 2.81 m</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Therefore he has to climb 2.81 meters</span>

En el País Vasco los deportistas rurales levantan enormes piedras hasta su hombro. En un concurso , Jose levanta una piedra de 2

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Txomin lifted the stone with greater mass. (Txomin levantó la roca con mayor fuerza).

Explanation:

The sportsman that lifts the stone with a greater mass needs a higher force (El deportista que levanta la piedra con mayor masa necesita una mayor fuerza):

José

$F = (200\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$F = 1961.4\,N$

Txomin

$F = (220\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$F = 2157.54\,N$

Txomin lifted the stone with greater mass. (Txomin levantó la roca con mayor fuerza).
