Answer:

The airplane should release the parcel $6.7*10^2$ m before reaching the island

Explanation:

The height of the plane is $y_0=100m$ , and its speed is v=150 m/s

When an object moves horizontally in free air (no friction), the equation for the y measured with respect to ground is

$y=y_0 - \frac{gt^2}{2}$ [1]

And the distance X is

x = V.t [2]

Being t the time elapsed since the release of the parcel

If we isolate t from the equation [1] and replace it in equation [2] we get

$X = V . \sqrt{\frac{2y_0}{g}}$

Using the given values:

$x = 150 m/s \sqrt{\frac{2\times 100m}{9.8 m/sec^2}}$

x = $6.7*10^2$ m

How is a seismograph similar to an X-ray?

aleksklad [387]

Answer: Seismograph is an instrument that is used to measure the vibration of the earthquake. It is based on seismic waves. X ray is an electromagnetic energy wave that is used for CAT ( computerized axial tomography) scan.

Hence, both seismic wave and X ray are energy waves.

The velocity of seismic waves is different in different media. Similarly, X ray loses its amplitude depending upon the dense layer of the tissue.

during convection, hot material _____ (expands & sinks, cools & rises, expands & rises, deflates & rises) then m

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

During convection, hot material expands & rises then moves to the side and cools & sinks. this circular pattern is called a convection current.

Explanation:

Convection is one of the three methods of transfer of heat. It occurs only in fluids (liquids or gases).

Convection occurs when there is a source of heat that heats a fluid, such as in a boiling pot of water. The water which is on the bottom of the pot becomes warmer before than the water at the top (because it is closer to the flame), and so it becomes less dense: for this reason, it expands and it becomes rising. On the contrary, the water on top is colder, so it is more dense and starts sinking, replacing the warmer water. As the new part of water gets warmer, it starts rising, and so the process is continuously repeated. This circular current is called convection current.

A skateboarder travels on a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 3.2 m/s toward the south and a constant acceleration

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

A. 0.432

B. -1.92

C. 1.44 units/second

D. -3.2 units/second

Explanation:

A. To calculate her x position, we just use the following equation of motion to find the distance traveled:

$s=u*t+\frac{1}{2} (a*t^2)$

here s = displacement

t = time (in seconds)

a = acceleration

Solving for the distance, we get:

$s = 0 * 0.6 + \frac{1}{2}(2.4 * 0.6^2)$

s = 0.432 m

Since 0.432 meters east is equals to 0.432 meter in the positive x-direction, the x position is also 0.432.

B. Since the skater has a constant v - velocity of -3.2 m/s, (south means negative y axis), the total distance traveled is:

Distance = speed * time = -3.2 * 0.6 = -1.92 m

The answer is -1.92 units in the y-axis.

C. The x velocity component is the final speed in the east direction, which is going to be:

$v^2 - u^2=2*a*s$

$v^2 = 2*2.4*0.432$

v = 1.44 units/second (in positive x direction)

D. Her y velocity component does not change, since the velocity towards the south is a constant 3.2 m/s

Thus the answer is -3.2 units/second in the y-axis.

Experiments using "optical tweezers" measure the elasticity of individual DNA molecules. For small enough changes in length, the

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 0.3 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on DNA molecule, $F=1.5\ nN=1.5\times 10^{-9}\ N$

The molecule got stretched by 5 nm, $x=5\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Let k is the spring constant of that DNA molecule. It can be calculated using the Hooke's law. It says that the force acting on the spring is directly proportional to the distance as :

$F=-kx$

$k=\dfrac{F}{x}$

$k=\dfrac{1.5\times 10^{-9}\ N}{5\times 10^{-9}\ m}$

k = 0.3 N/m

So, the spring constant of the DNA molecule is 0.3 N/m. Hence, this is the required solution.
