Answer:

The speed of the raindrop is 11.55 m/s.

Explanation:

We need to find the speed of the rain in the "y" direction. We have:

v_{r}: speed of the raindrop at 60° (vertical) =?

v_{c}: speed of the car = 20 m/s (in the "x" direction)

Hence, the speed of the car and the speed of the raindrop are related by:

tan(\theta) = \frac{v_{c}}{v_{r}}        

v_{r} = \frac{v_{c}}{tan(60)} = \frac{20}{tan(60)} = 11.55 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the raindrop is 11.55 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H
kirill [66]

Answer:

             U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

             

         F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

          dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

         F = B / r³

let's replace

          ∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³  dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

            U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

             U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

             U = 1 / r²

IgorLugansk [536]

If the mass of the cylinder increases, the temperature of the water increases, because a greater mass means the cylinder has more potential energy that can be converted to thermal energy, increasing the temperature of the water.

A 25cm×25cm horizontal metal electrode is uniformly charged to +50 nC . What is the electric field strength 2.0 mm above the cen
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The electric field strength is 4.5\times 10^{4} N/C

Solution:

As per the question:

Area of the electrode, A_{e} = 25\times 25\times 10^{- 4} m^{2} = 0.0625 m^{2}

Charge, q = 50 nC = 50\times 10^{- 9} C[/etx]Distance, x = 2 mm = [tex]2\times 10^{- 3} m

Now,

To calculate the electric field strength, we first calculate the surface charge density which is given by:

\sigma = \frac{q}{A_{e}} = \frac{50\times 10^{- 9}}{0.0625} = 8\times 10^{- 7}C/m^{2}

Now, the electric field strength of the electrode is:

\vec{E} = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_{o}}

where

\epsilon_{o} = 8.85\times 10^{- 12} F/m

\vec{E} = \frac{8\times 10^{- 7}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{- 12}}

\vec{E} = 4.5\times 10^{4} N/C

According to the saffir/simpson scale, what storm surge and type of damage was most likely experienced in homestead, florida whi
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale gives 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's wind speed, storm surge and potential property damage. It rates according to categories. When placed at Hurricanes of Category 3 and above, they are termed major catastrophic hurricanes because of their potential for loss of life and damages of property. Ratings at Category 1 and 2 storms are dangerous but can be prevented by following directed measures.

Florida situated directly in the hurricane at east coast , had experiened Category 1- Category 5 ratings from hurricane and noticed in Land fall in Florida since 1894 with Winds ranging from 74-95 mph with some dangerous damages which can lead damages to Well-built homes, dedtroying roofs , Uprooting shallow rooted trees, and causing power outages due to destruction of poles

to 157 mph or higher causing Catastrophic damages making the area inhabitable due to loss of life and properties.

For example, Hurricane Dorian in September 2019 attacked Florida’s east coast resulting to a Category 2 storm producing tropical storm force winds,heavy rain and storm surge leading to damages of roof of building and disruption of power poles.
