Less than 7, Ph of 7 is neutral Acid Rain would be between 4 and 0.

7 0

Answer:

Less than 7.

Explanation:

pH scale in chemistry is used to measure the concentration of hydrogen ion. In other words, it is used to measure the extent of acidity or alkalinity of any solution. The pH scale having numbers that range from 0 to 14. The acidic solution has a lower pH value while the basic solution has a higher pH. The pH value of pure water is 7.

As the name implies acid rain, it is formed by the combination of sulfur and nitrogen oxides. The pH of acid rain is less than 7. Typically its value is 4.

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.
kow [346]

Before the engines fail, the rocket's altitude at time <em>t</em> is given by

y_1(t)=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2

and its velocity is

v_1(t)=80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}+\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t

The rocket then reaches an altitude of 1150 m at time <em>t</em> such that

1150\,\mathrm m=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2

Solve for <em>t</em> to find this time to be

t=11.2\,\mathrm s

At this time, the rocket attains a velocity of

v_1(11.2\,\mathrm s)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

When it's in freefall, the rocket's altitude is given by

y_2(t)=1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2

where g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2} is the acceleration due to gravity, and its velocity is

v_2(t)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt

(a) After the first 11.2 s of flight, the rocket is in the air for as long as it takes for y_2(t) to reach 0:

1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=32.6\,\mathrm s

So the rocket is in motion for a total of 11.2 s + 32.6 s = 43.4 s.

(b) Recall that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta y

where v_f and v_i denote final and initial velocities, respecitively, a denotes acceleration, and \Delta y the difference in altitudes over some time interval. At its maximum height, the rocket has zero velocity. After the engines fail, the rocket will keep moving upward for a little while before it starts to fall to the ground, which means y_2 will contain the information we need to find the maximum height.

-\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=-2g(y_{\rm max}-1150\,\mathrm m)

Solve for y_{\rm max} and we find that the rocket reaches a maximum altitude of about 1930 m.

(c) In part (a), we found the time it takes for the rocket to hit the ground (relative to y_2(t)) to be about 32.6 s. Plug this into v_2(t) to find the velocity before it crashes:

v_2(32.6\,\mathrm s)=-196\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}

That is, the rocket has a velocity of 196 m/s in the downward direction as it hits the ground.

Water at room temperature is discharged from a pipe at a rate of 1000 gallons per minute (gpm). Express this flow rate in cubic
marshall27 [118]

Answer

given,

discharge rate from pipe = 1000 gallons/minutes

now,

flow rate in  cubic meters per second

1 gallon = 0.00378541 m³

1 min = 60 s

Q = 1000\times \dfrac{0.00378541\ m^3}{1\ gallon}\times \dfrac{1\ min}{60\ s}

Q = 0.063 m³/s

flow rate in  liters per minute

1 gallon = 3.78541 L

 Q = 1000\times \dfrac{3.78541\ m^3}{1\ gallon}

 Q = 3785.41 m³/min

flow rate in cubic feet per second

 1 gallon = 0.133681 ft³

 1 min = 60 s

Q = 1000\times \dfrac{0.133681\ ft^3}{1\ gallon}\times \dfrac{1\ min}{60\ s}

Q = 2.23 ft³/s

If you wanted to know how big a tiger is, which measurements would you use?
valina [46]

Answer:

meter, kilogram

Explanation:

Here we want to know how big the tiger is. This means that we want to measure its size and possibly its mass.

The size is actually a measure of the length of the tiger, and length is measured in meters.

The mass of an object, instead, is a measure of the "amount of matter" in the substance, and it is measured in kilograms.

The other options are wrong because:

- The second is the unit of time

- The candela is the unit of the luminous intensity

- The mole is the unit of the amount of substance, and it is used for gases

- The ampere is the unit of the current
