Complete question is;

A ski jumper travels down a slope and leaves the ski track moving in the horizontal direction with a speed of 24 m/s. The landing incline below her falls off with a slope of θ = 59◦ . The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

What is the magnitude of the relative angle φ with which the ski jumper hits the slope? Answer in units of ◦

Answer:

14.08°

Explanation:

The time covered will be given by the formula;

t = (2V_x•tan θ)/g

t = (2 × 24 × tan 59)/9.8

t = 8.152 s

Now, the slope of the flight path at the point of impact will be given by the formula;

tan α = V_y/V_x

We are given V_x = 24 m/s

V_y will be gotten from the formula;

v = gt

Thus;

V_y = gt

V_y = 9.8 × (8.152) = 78.89 m/s

Thus;

tan α = 78.89/24

tan α = 3.2871

α = tan^(-1) 3.2871

α = 73.08°

Thus ;

Relative angle φ = α - θ = 73.08 - 59 = 14.08°

Two oppositely charged but otherwise identical conducting plates of area 2.50 square centimeters are separated by a dielectric 1

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

A). σ = 3.823 x $10^{-5}$ $C^{2}$ /N- $m^{2}$

B). $\sigma ^{'}=2.76\times 10^{-5}$ C/ $m^{2}$

C). $U=10.322$ J

Explanation:

A). We know magnitude of charge per unit area for a conducting plate is given by

$\sigma =k.\varepsilon _{0}.E$

where, E is resultant electric field = 1.2 x $10^{6}$ V/m

$\varepsilon _{0}$ is permittivity of free space = 8.85 x $10^{-12}$ $C^{2}$ /N- $m^{2}$

k is dielectric constant = 3.6

∴ $\sigma =k.\varepsilon _{0}.E$

= 3.6 x 8.85 x $10^{-12}$ x 1.2 x $10^{6}$

= 3.823 x $10^{-5}$ $C^{2}$ /N- $m^{2}$

B).Now we know that the magnitude of charge per unit area on the surface of the dielectric plate is given by

$\sigma ^{'}=\sigma\left ( 1-\frac{1}{k} \right )$

$\sigma ^{'}=3.823\times 10^{-5}\left ( 1-\frac{1}{3.6} \right )$

$\sigma ^{'}=2.76\times 10^{-5}$ C/ $m^{2}$

C).

Area of the plate, A = 2.5 $cm^{2}$

= 2.5 x $10^{-4}$ $m^{2}$

diameter of the plate, d = 1.8 mm

= 1800 m

∴ Total energy stored in the capacitor

$U=\frac{1}{2}k\varepsilon _{0}E^{2}Ad$

$U=\frac{1}{2}\times 3.6\times8.85 \times10^{-12}\times\left ( 1.2\times 10^{6} \right ) ^{2}\times 2.5\times 10^{-4}\times 1800$

$U=10.322$ J

Fred wants to summarize mitosis in the cell cycle. Which statement describes mitosis?

salantis [7]

The statement that most accurately describes mitosis simply is <span>that mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself</span>. This is the most basic textbook definition, that is summary, of what the mitosis is.

A mass weighing 20 pounds stretches a spring 6 inches. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 6 inches below the

hoa [83]

Answer:

Since the spring mass system will execute simple harmonic motion the position as a function of time can be written as $x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\phi)$

'A' is the amplitude = 6 inches (given)

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ is the natural frequency of the system

At equilibrium we have

$mg=kx\\\\k=\frac{mg}{x}$

Applying values we get

$k=40 lb/ft$

thus natural frequency equals

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{40}{\frac{20}{32}}}\\\\\omega =8s^{-1}$

Thus the equation of motion becomes

$x(t)=6sin(8t+\phi)$

At time t=0 since mass is at it's maximum position thus we have

$A=Asin(\omega t+\phi)\\\\\therefore sin(\omega\times 0+\phi)=1\\\\\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}\\\\\therefore x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{2})$

Thus the position of mass at the given times is as follows

1) at $\frac{\pi}{12}$ $x(t)=5.99inches$

2) at $\frac{\pi}{8}$ $x(t)=5.9909inches$

3) at $\frac{\pi}{6}$ $x(t)=5.98397inches$

4) at $\frac{\pi}{4}$ $x(t)=5.9639inches$

5) at $\frac{9\pi}{32}$ $x(t)=5.954inches$

A 5.00μF parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a 12.0 V battery. After the capacitor is fully charged, the battery is disconn

EastWind [94]

(a) 12.0 V

In this problem, the capacitor is connected to the 12.0 V, until it is fully charged. Considering the capacity of the capacitor, $C=5.00 \mu F$ , the charged stored on the capacitor at the end of the process is

$Q=CV=(5.00 \mu F)(12.0 V)=60 \mu C$

When the battery is disconnected, the charge on the capacitor remains unchanged. But the capacitance, C, also remains unchanged, since it only depends on the properties of the capacitor (area and distance between the plates), which do not change. Therefore, given the relationship

$V=\frac{Q}{C}$

and since neither Q nor C change, the voltage V remains the same, 12.0 V.

(b) (i) 24.0 V

In this case, the plate separation is doubled. Let's remind the formula for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor:

$C=\frac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A}{d}$

where:

$\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space

$\epsilon_r$ is the relative permittivity of the material inside the capacitor

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

As we said, in this case the plate separation is doubled: d'=2d. This means that the capacitance is halved: $C'=\frac{C}{2}$ . The new voltage across the plate is given by
