Hi there!

A.

Since the can was launched from ground level, we know that its trajectory forms a symmetrical, parabolic shape. In other words, the time taken for the can to reach the top is the same as the time it takes to fall down.

Thus, the time to its highest point:
T_h = \frac{T}{2}

Now, we can determine the velocity at which the can was launched at using the following equation:
v_f = v_i + at

In this instance, we are going to look at the VERTICAL component of the velocity, since at the top of the trajectory, the vertical velocity = 0 m/s.

Therefore:
0 = v_y + at\\\\0 = vsin\theta - g\frac{T}{2}

***vsinθ is the vertical component of the velocity.

Solve for 'v':
vsin(\alpha_0) = g\frac{T}{2}\\\\v = \frac{gT}{2sin(\alpha_0)}

Now, recall that:
W = \Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}m(\Delta v)^2

Plug in the expression for velocity:
W = \frac{1}{2}M (\frac{gT}{2sin(\alpha_0)})^2\\\\\boxed{W = \frac{Mg^2T^2}{8sin^2(\alpha _0)}}

B.

We can use the same process as above, where T' = 2T and Th = T.

v = \frac{gT}{sin(\alpha _0)} }\\\\W = \frac{1}{2}M(\frac{gT}{sin(\alpha _0)})^2\\\\\boxed{W = \frac{Mg^2T^2}{2sin^2(\alpha _0)}}

C.

The work done in part B is 4 times greater than the work done in part A.

\boxed{\frac{W_B}{W_A} = \frac{4}{1} = 4.0}

Si un cuerpo adquiere una carga de -0,02 C, ha ganado o ha perdido electrones? Cuantos?
sammy [17]

Question :

If a body acquires a charge of -0.02 C, has it gained or lost electrons? Many?

Solution :

We know, charge gained is shown by negative sign.

Since, charged acquired is given as -0.02 C .

Therefore, it is body has gained electrons.

Now, number of electrons is given by :

n = \dfrac{net\ charge}{charge \  on \ one \  electron}\\\\n = \dfrac{-0.02}{-1.60 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\n = 1.25\times 10^{17}

Hence, this is the required solution.

You serve a volleyball with a mass of 1.4 kg. The ball leaves with a speed of 13 m/s. Calculate KE
NemiM [27]

Answer:

118.3 J

Explanation:

Givens:

m = 1.4 kg

V = 13 m/s

Formula for kinetic energy:

KE = (1/2)*(m)*(v)^2

KE = .5*(1.4 kg)*(13 m/s)^2

KE 118.3 J

J = Joules

In a parallel circuit the current A stays in one path B splits and goes through two components C makes one circle
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

B splits and goes through two components

Explanation:

- A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are all connected along the same branch: as a result, the current flowing through the components is the same, while the sum of the potential differences across each component is equal to the emf of the battery

- A parallel circuit is a circuit consisting of separate branches, so that each branch has a potential difference equal to the emf of the battery. As a result, in such a circuit the current in the circuit splits and goes through the different branches/components.

So, the correct answer is

B splits and goes through two components

A reaction that releases heat is:<br> endothermic<br> exothermic<br> none of the above
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Exothermic reaction

Explanation:

  • A reaction that releases heat is known as an exothermic reaction.
  • Reactions can be classified as either exothermic or endothermic depending on whether they release or absorb heat from the surrounding.
  • A reaction that absorbs or gains heat from the surrounding is known as endothermic reaction.
  • On the other hand, if a reaction releases heat to the surrounding is known as exothermic reaction.
  • An exothermic reactions results to an increase in temperature of a solution while an endothermic reaction results to a decrease in the temperature of a solution.
