Answer:

5.05 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 125 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(125 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 5.05 s

You use a slingshot to launch a potato horizontally from the edge of a cliff with speed v0. The acceleration due to gravity is g

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{2v_o}{g}$

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch</u>

When an object is launched horizontally at a speed vo, it describes a curved called parabola as the speed in the x-direction does not change and the speed in the y-direction increases with time because the gravity makes it return to the ground.

The vertical distance the object (potato) travels downwards is:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

The horizontal distance is

$x=v_ot$

We need to find the time when both distances are equal, thus

$\displaystyle \frac{gt^2}{2}=v_ot$

Simplifying by t

$\displaystyle \frac{gt}{2}=v_o$

Solving for t

$\displaystyle \boxed{t=\frac{2v_o}{g}}$

A car moving with constant acceleration covers the distance between two points 60 m apart in 6.0 s. Its speed as it passes the s

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The speed in the first point is: 4.98m/s

The acceleration is: 1.67m/s^2

The prior distance from the first point is: 7.42m

Explanation:

For part a and b:

We have a system with two equations and two variables.

We have these data:

X = distance = 60m

t = time = 6.0s

Sf = Final speed = 15m/s

And We need to find:

So = Inicial speed

a = aceleration

We are going to use these equation:

$Sf^2=So^2+(2*a*x)$

$Sf=So+(a*t)$

We are going to put our data:

$(15m/s)^2=So^2+(2*a*60m)$

$15m/s=So+(a*6s)$

With these equation, you can decide a method for solve. In this case, We are going to use an egualiazation method.

$\sqrt{(15m/s)^2-(2*a*60m)}=So$

$15m/s-(a*6s)=So$

$\sqrt{(15m/s)^2-(2*a*60m)}=15m/s-(a*6s)$

$[\sqrt{(15m/s)^2-(2*a*60m)}]^{2}=[15m/s-(a*6s)]^{2}$

$(15m/s)^2-(2*a*60m)}=(15m/s)^{2}-2*(a*6s)*(15m/s)+(a*6s)^{2}$

$-120m*a=-180m*a+36s^{2}*a^{2}$

$0=120m*a-180m*a+36s^{2}*a^{2}$

$0=-60m*a+36s^{2}*a^{2}$

$0=(-60m+36s^{2}*a)*a$

$0=a1$

$\frac{60m}{36s^{2}} = a2$

$1.67m/s^{2}=a2$

If we analyze the situation, we need to have an aceleretarion greater than cero. We are going to choose a = 1.67m/s^2

After, we are going to determine the speed in the first point:

$Sf=So+(a*t)$

$15m/s=So+1.67m/s^2*6s$

$15m/s-(1.67m/s^2*6s)=So$

$4.98m/s=So$

For part c:

We are going to use:

$Sf^2=So^2+(2*a*x)$

$(4.98m/s)^2=0^2+(2*(1.67m/s^2)*x)$

$\frac{24.80m^2/s^2}{3.34m/s^2}=x$

$7.42m=x$

In a certain region of space, a uniform electric field has a magnitude of 4.30 x 104 n/c and points in the positive x direction.

denis23 [38]

The magnetic force exerted by a field E to a charge q is given by F=Eq. In this case, F=4.30*10^4*(6.80mu C). 1mu C=10^-6C, so F=4.30*6.80=10^-2=0.29N. The direction is in the x direction, the direction that the field is applied because the charge is positive.

Takumi works in his yard for 45 minutes each Saturday. He works in the morning, and he wears sunscreen and a hat each time he wo

MrRa [10]

Explanation :

Takumi wears sunscreen and a hat each time he works in the yard. This is to protect himself with the strong radiation coming from the sun. UV rays that are coming from the sun are the main cause of skin cancer.

Stochastic effects are the effects that are caused by chance. Cancer is one of the main stochastic effects.

So, the correct option is (b) "the severity of stochastic effects, such as cancer".
