What is a fixed volume

nasty-shy [4]

A fixed volume is where either a solid or liquid has a volume that is constant under the same pressure and temperature. A gas cannot have a fixed volume because it changes by itself without any human interaction.

Best of Luck!

A baseball is thrown with an initial velocity of 45.4 m/s at an angle of 31.2 ∘ .

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

V (initial vertical velocity) = 45.4 sin 31.2 = 23.52 m/s

1/2 m V^2 = m g h conservation of energy

h = V^2 / (2 g) = 23.52^2 / 19.6 = 28.2 m max height

Check:

t = 28.2 / 9.8 = 2.88 sec time to reach max height

h = 23.52 * 2.88 - 1/2 g 2.88^2 = 27.1 m

An object is thrown upward from the top of a 144-foot building with an initial velocity of 128 feet per second. The height h of

ankoles [38]

Answer:

After 9 seconds the object reaches ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

We equation of motion given as h = -16t²+128t+144,

We need to find in how many seconds will the object hit the ground,

That is we need to find time when h = 0

0 = -16t²+128t+144

16t²-128t-144= 0

$t=\frac{-(-128)\pm \sqrt{(-128)^2-4\times 16\times (-144)}}{2\times 16}\\\\t=\frac{128\pm \sqrt{25600}}{32}\\\\t=\frac{128\pm 160}{32}\\\\t=9s\texttt{ or }t=-1s$

Negative time is not possible, hence after 9 seconds the object reaches ground.

The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.12 × 10^16 m away. How long would it take light from Alpha Ce

bonufazy [111]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (4.12x10^16 m) / (3 x10^8 m/s)

Time = 1.37 x 10^8 seconds

Divide the seconds by 86,400 to get days. Then divide the days by 365 to get years.

Time = about 4.35 years
