A stranded soldier shoots a signal flare into the air to attract the attention of a nearby plane. The flare has an initial verti

cal velocity of 1500 feet per second. Its height is defined by the quadratic function below. Assume that the flare is fired from ground level. h=v1t-16t^2
1. What is the maximum height that the flare reaches?
2. When will the flare reach that height?
3. At what time does the flare hit the ground again?
4. If the plane is flying at a height of 30,000 feet, a speed of 880 feet per second and is 50,000 feet from the fare when it is fired, will the flare hit it? If so, tell when this will happen. If not, tell when the flare reaches the planes altitude.

Answer:

Explanation:

h = ut - 16 t² = ut - 1/2 x32 t² = ut - 1/2 g t² , g = acceleration = - 32 ft / s²

1) v² = u² - 2 g h , v = 0 so

h = u² / 2g = 1500² / 2 x 32 = 35156.25 ft

2) v = u - gt

t = u / g = 1500 / 32 = 46.875 s

3) It will hit the ground after 2 x 46.875 = 93.75 s

4 ) time to reach 30000 ft height t is given by

h = ut - 16 t²

30000 = 1500t - 16t²

16t²-1500t + 30000 = 0

t = 28.92 s and 64.82 s

Time required to travel 50000 by plane

= 50000/880 = 56.82 . There is no match of timing so plane will not hit it.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

I assume by "which" of these you're looking for an example. Water freezing into ice or water, or evaporation, the process of turning from liquid into vapor, would not be chemical changes.

Explanation:

These are physical changes because they do not form a new substance, a chemical change requires a change in the chemical makeup of the substance.

An infinite sheet of charge, oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, passes through x = 0. It has a surface charge density σ1 = -2

docker41 [41]

1) At x = 6.6 cm, $E_x=3.47\cdot 10^6 N/C$

2) At x = 6.6 cm, $E_y=0$

3) At x = 1.45 cm, $E_x=-3.76\cdot 10^6N/C$

4) At x = 1.45 cm, $E_y=0$

5) Surface charge density at b = 4 cm: $+62.75 \mu C/m^2$

6) At x = 3.34 cm, the x-component of the electric field is zero

7) Surface charge density at a = 2.9 cm: $+65.25 \mu C/m^2$

8) None of these regions

Explanation:

1)

The electric field of an infinite sheet of charge is perpendicular to the sheet:

$E=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

where

$\sigma$ is the surface charge density

$\epsilon_0=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

The field produced by a thick slab, outside the slab itself, is the same as an infinite sheet.

So, the electric field at x = 6.6 cm (which is on the right of both the sheet and the slab) is the superposition of the fields produced by the sheet and by the slab:

$E=E_1+E_2=\frac{\sigma_1}{2\epsilon_0}+\frac{\sigma_2}{2\epsilon_0}$

where

$\sigma_1=-2.5\mu C/m^2 = -2.5\cdot 10^{-6}C/m^2\\\sigma_2=64 \muC/m^2 = 64\cdot 10^{-6}C/m^2$

The field of the sheet is to the left (negative charge, inward field), while the field of the slab is the right (positive charge, outward field).

So,

$E=\frac{1}{2\epsilon_0}(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)=\frac{1}{2(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})}(-2.5\cdot 10^{-6}+64\cdot 10^{-6})=3.47\cdot 10^6 N/C$

And the negative sign indicates that the direction is to the right.

2)

We note that the field produced both by the sheet and by the slab is perpendicular to the sheet and the slab: so it is directed along the x-direction (no component along the y-direction).

So the total field along the y-direction is zero.

This is a consequence of the fact that both the sheet and the slab are infinite along the y-axis. This means that if we take a random point along the x-axis, the y-component of the field generated by an element of surface dS of the sheet (or the slab), $dE_y$ , is equal and opposite to the y-component of the field generated by an element of surface dS of the sheet located at exactly on the opposite side with respect to the x-axis, $-dE_y$ . Therefore, the net field along the y-direction is always zero.

3)

Here it is similar to part 1), but this time the point is located at

x = 1.45 cm

so between the sheet and the slab. This means that both the fields of the sheet and of the slab are to the left, because the slab is negatively charged (so the field is outward). Therefore, the total field is

$E=E_1-E_2$

Substituting the same expressions of part 1), we find

$E=\frac{1}{2\epsilon_0}(\sigma_1-\sigma_2)=\frac{1}{2(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})}(-2.5\cdot 10^{-6}-64\cdot 10^{-6})=-3.76\cdot 10^6N/C$

where the negative sign indicates that the direction is to the left.

4)

This part is similar to part 2). Since the field is always perpendicular to the slab and the sheet, it has no component along the y-axis, therefore the y-component of the electric field is zero.

5)

Here we note that the slab is conductive: this means that the charges in the slab are free to move.

We note that the net charge on the slab is positive: this means that there is an excess of positive charge overall. Also, since the sheet (on the left of the slab) is negatively charged, the positive charges migrate to the left end of the slab (at a = 2.9 cm) while the negative charges migrate to the right end (at b = 4 cm).

The net charge per unit area of the slab is

$\sigma=+64\mu C/m^2$

And this the average of the surface charge density on both sides of the slab, a and b:

$\sigma=\frac{\sigma_a+\sigma_b}{2}$ (1)

Also, the infinite sheet located at x = 0, which has a negative charge $\sigma_1=-2.5\mu C/m^2$ , induces an opposite net charge on the left surface of the slab, so

$\sigma_a-\sigma_b = +2.5 \mu C/m^2$ (2)

Now we have two equations (1) and (2), so we can solve to find the surface charge densities on a and b, and we find:

$\sigma_a = +65.25 \mu C/m^2\\\sigma_b = +62.75 \mu C/m^2$

6)

Here we want to calculate the value of the x-component of the electric field at

x = 3.34 cm

We notice that this point is located inside the slab, because its edges are at

a = 2.9 cm

b = 4.0 cm

But slab is conducting , and the electric field inside a conductor is always zero (because the charges are in equilibrium): therefore, this means that the x-component of the electric field inside the slab is zero

7)

We calculated the value of the charge per unit area on the surface of the slab at x = a = 2.9 cm in part 5), and it is $\sigma_a = +65.25 \mu C/m^2$

8)

As we said in part 6), the electric field inside a conductor is always zero. Since the slab in this problem is conducting, this means that the electric field inside the slab is zero: therefore, the regions where the field is zero is

2.9 cm < x < 4 cm

So the correct answer is

"none of these region"

A cricket player catches the ball leaning towards to the ground,why?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

As it’s difficult to catch it from up.

Gravitational force will pull us when we jump.

If gravity was not there, he could catch the ball. But he will float in the sky after that.

That’s the answer

A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two horizontal 12.0-cm-diameter circular plates. A 1.0 g plastic bead, with a charg

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Given that A 1.0 g plastic bead, with a charge of -6.0 nC, is suspended between the two plates by the force of the electric field between them.

Since it is suspended, it must have been repelled by the bottom negative plate and trying to be attracted to the top plate.

We can therefore conclude that the upper plate, is positively charged

B.) The charge on the positive plate of parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two horizontal 12.0-cm-diameter circular plates must be less than 6.0 nC
