Answer:

C. a few days

Explanation:

The evidence that we will have to investigate is the gunshot residue on the body of the suspect. When a person fires a gun there will be a deposition of material from the components of the chemicals present in the gun. This deposit is called gunshot residue and consists of particles of the propellant or explosive primer.

Experimentation has shown that the period of time that is person will test possible for gunshot residue is 5.27 days.

A boat is headed with a velocity of 18 meters/second toward the west with respect to the water in a river. If the river is flowi
IrinaK [193]
If the boat's velocity is 18m/sec relative to the water in the river and not the shore, it would need to be added the river speed of 2.5m/sec to get a total of 20.5m/sec. The 20.5m/sec would then be the total velocity of the boat relative to the shore. From personal experience, I know that when one runs with the tide, one is adding the tide flow speed to one's boat speed (what it would be in neutral waters) to get a sometimes much faster speed.

Two sinusoidal waves are identical except for their phase. When these two waves travel along the same string, for which phase di
Kamila [148]

Answer:

zero or 2π is maximum

Explanation:

Sine waves can be written

      x₁ = A sin (kx -wt + φ₁)

     x₂ = A sin (kx- wt + φ₂)

When the wave travels in the same direction

      Xt = x₁ + x₂

      Xt = A [sin (kx-wt + φ₁) + sin (kx-wt + φ₂)]

We are going to develop trigonometric functions, let's call

     a = kx + wt

     Xt = A [sin (a + φ₁) + sin (a + φ₂)

We develop breasts of double angles

     sin (a + φ₁) = sin a cos φ₁ + sin φ₁ cos a

    sin (a + φ₂) = sin a cos φ₂ + sin φ₂ cos a

Let's make the sum

     sin (a + φ₁) + sin (a + φ₂) = sin a (cos φ₁ + cos φ₂) + cos a (sin φ₁ + sinφ₂)

to have a maximum of the sine function, the cosine of fi must be maximum

     cos φ₁ + cos φ₂ = 1 +1 = 2

the possible values ​​of each phase are

     φ1 = 0, π, 2π  

     φ2 = 0, π, 2π,  

so that the phase difference of being zero or 2π is maximum

A punted football is observed to have velocity components vhorizontal = 15 m/s to the right and vvertical = 1.25 m/s directed do
enot [183]

Answer:

v₀ₓ = 15 m / s,  v_{oy} = 5.2 m / s

v = 15.87 m / s ,   θ = 19.1

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch problem. The horizontal speed that is constant throughout the entire path is worth 15 m / s, instead the vertical speed changes in value due to the acceleration of gravity, let's look for the initial vertical speed

                      Vy² =v_{oy}² - 2 g y

                      v_{oy}² = v_{y}² + 2 g y

                       v_{oy} = √ (v_{y}² + 2 gy

Let's calculate

                    v_{oy} = √ (1.25² + 2 9.8 1.3)

                    v_{oy} = √ (27.04)

                    v_{oy} = 5.2 m / s

 The initial speed can be calculated by the initial speed

                   v = √ v₀ₓ² + v_{oy}²

                   v = RA (15² + 5.2²)

                   v = 15.87 m / s

We look for the angle with trigonometry

                 tan θ = voy / vox

                 θ = tan⁻¹ I'm going / vox

                θ = tan⁻¹ 5.2 / 15

                θ = 19.1

The answer is

              v₀ₓ = 15 m / s

              v_{oy} = 5.2 m / s

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

If they are metallic spheres  they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches

non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing

Explanation:

For fillers, there are two fundamental methods, depending on the type of material.

If they are metallic spheres, they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches, this induces a charge of opposite sign and of equal magnitude, then it removes the contact to earth and the sphere is charged.

If the non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing with some material or touching with another charged material, in this case the sphere takes half the charge and when separated each sphere has half the charge and with equal sign.

A cannon is mounted on a tower above a wide, level field. The barrel of the cannon is 20 m above the ground below. A cannonball
OLga [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

  Cannonball will be in flight before it hits the ground for 2.02 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Initial height from ground = 20 meter.

  We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

  In this the velocity of body in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

  Substituting

         20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds

  So it will take 2.02 seconds to reach ground.
