A rock (m= 2kg) is shot up vertically at the same time that a ball (m= 0.5kg) is projected horizontally. If both start from the

same height: A. the rock and ball will reach the ground at the same time.
B. the rock will reach the ground first.
C. the ball will reach the ground first.
D. the rock and ball will collide in the air before reaching the ground.
Can you explain why the answer is C?

Answer:

The correct option is C. the ball will reach the ground first.

Explanation:

The ball will reach the ground first since the mass of each object does not affect the rate of fall, both are subject to the same gravitational acceleration 9.81 m / s2. The rock in its vertical movement invests a time that the ball is not released horizontally, so that time of vertical flight of the rock plus the extra height it will have will reach the ground after the rock. Regardless of the friction of the air, it will be different in both objects.

Charge: A piece of plastic has a net charge of +2.00 μC. How many more protons than electrons does this piece of plastic have? (
snow_lady [41]

Answer

given,

net charge = +2.00 μC

we know,

1 coulomb charge =  6.28 x 10¹⁸electrons

1 micro coulomb  charge =  6.28 x 10¹⁸ x 10⁻⁶ electron

                                         = 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

2.00 μC = 2 x 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

              = 1.256 x 10¹³ electrons

since net charge is positive.

The number of protons should be 1.256 x 10¹³ more than electrons.

hence, +2.00 μC have 1.256 x 10¹³ more protons than electrons.

An archer draws her bow and stores 34.8 J of elastic potential energy in the bow. She releases the 63 g arrow, giving it an init
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Approximately 71\%.

Explanation:

The formula for the kinetic energy \rm KE of an object is:

\displaystyle \mathrm{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^2,

where

  • m is the mass of that object, and
  • v is the speed of that object.

Important: Joule (\rm J) is the standard unit for energy. The formula for \rm KE requires two inputs: mass and speed. The standard unit of mass is \rm kg while the standard unit for speed is \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. If both inputs are in standard units, then the output (kinetic energy) will also be in the standard unit (that is: joules,

Convert the unit of the arrow's mass to standard unit:

m = 63\; \rm g = 0.063\; \rm kg.

Initial \rm KE of this arrow:

\begin{aligned}\mathrm{KE} &= \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.063\; \rm kg \times \left(\rm 28 \; m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 \\ &\approx 24.696\; \rm J\end{aligned}.

That's the same as the energy output of this bow. Hence, the efficiency of energy transfer will be:

\displaystyle \frac{24.696\; \rm J}{34.8\; \rm J} \times 100\% \approx 71\%.

You and your family take a trip to see your aunt who lives 100 miles away along a straight highway. The first 60 miles of the tr
Nitella [24]

Answer:

51.2 mi/h

Explanation:

Total distance, d = 100 miles

First 60 miles with speed 55 mi/h

Next 40 miles with speed 75 mi/h

Time taken for first 60 miles, t1 = 60 / 55 = 1.09 h

Time taken for 40 miles, t2 = 40 / 75 = 0.533 h

Time spent to get stuck, t3 = 20 min = 0.33 h

Total time, t = t1 + t2 + t3 = 1.09 + 0.533 + 0.33 = 1.953 h

The average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

Average speed = =\frac{100}{1.953}=51.2 mi/h

Thus, the average speed of the journey is 51.2 mi/h.

A cylindrical rod of steel (E = 207 GPa, 30 × 10 6 psi) having a yield strength of 310 MPa (45,000 psi) is to be subjected to a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Diameter of the cylinder will be d=2.998\times 10^4m

Explanation:

We have given young's modulus of steel E=207GPa=207\times 10^9Pa  

Change in length \Delta l=0.38mm

Length of rod l=500mm

Load F = 11100 KN

Strain is given by strain=\frac{\Delta l}{l}=\frac{0.38}{500}=7.6\times 10^{-4}

We know that young's modulus E=\frac{stress}{strain}

So 207\times 10^9=\frac{stress}{7.6\times 10^{-4}}

stress=1573.2\times 10^{-5}N/m^2

We know that stress =\frac{force}{artea }

So 1573.2\times 10^{-5}=\frac{11100\times 1000}{area}

area=7.055\times 10^{8}m^2

So \frac{\pi }{4}d^2=7.055\times 10^{8}

d=2.998\times 10^4m
