Answer:

Option D

+2

Explanation:

We know that Calcium has 20 electrons and 20 protons. It lost two electrons, it has 20 protons, but only 18 electrons. This makes calcium a positive ion with a charge of +2.

A 25N force is acting on a body moving on a straight line with Initial momentum 20 kam's. Find the final momentum after 4 second
Nezavi [6.7K]

The final momentum of the body is equal to 120 Kg.m/s.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum can be described as the multiplication of the mass and velocity of an object. Momentum is a vector quantity as it carries magnitude and direction.

If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity then the object's momentum p is: {\displaystyle \mathbf {p} =m\mathbf {v} . The S.I. unit of measurement of momentum is kg⋅m/s, which is equivalent to the N.s.

Given the initial momentum of the body = Pi = 20 Kg.m/s

The force acting on the body, Pf = 25 N

The time, Δt = 4-0 = 4s

The Force is equal to the change in momentum: F ×Δt = ΔP

25 × 4 = P - 20

100 = P - 20

P = 100 + 20 = 120  Kg.m/s

Therefore, the final momentum of a body is 120 Kg.m/s.

A swing has a period of 10 seconds. What is its frequency ?
kow [346]

Frequency = 1 / (period)

Frequency = 1 / (10 seconds) = (1/10) ( / second) = 0.1 per second = <em>0.1 Hz</em>.

An above ground swimming pool of 30 ft diameter and 5 ft depth is to be filled from a garden hose (smooth interior) of length 10
STALIN [3.7K]

This question involves the concepts of dynamic pressure, volume flow rate, and flow speed.

It will take "5.1 hours" to fill the pool.

First, we will use the formula for the dynamic pressure to find out the flow speed of water:

P=\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2P}{\rho}}

where,

v = flow speed = ?

P = Dynamic Pressure = 55 psi(\frac{6894.76\ Pa}{1\ psi}) = 379212 Pa

\rho = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2(379212\ Pa)}{1000\ kg/m^3}}

v = 27.54 m/s

Now, we will use the formula for volume flow rate of water coming from the hose to find out the time taken by the pool to be filled:

\frac{V}{t} = Av\\\\t =\frac{V}{Av}

where,

t = time to fill the pool = ?

A = Area of the mouth of hose = \frac{\pi (0.015875\ m)^2}{4} = 1.98 x 10⁻⁴ m²

V = Volume of the pool = (Area of pool)(depth of pool) = A(1.524 m)

V = [\frac{\pi (9.144\ m)^2}{4}][1.524\ m] = 100.1 m³

Therefore,

t = \frac{(100.1\ m^3)}{(1.98\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m^2)(27.54\ m/s)}\\\\

<u>t = 18353.5 s = 305.9 min = 5.1 hours</u>

A stretched string is observed to have four equal segments in a standing wave driven at a frequency of 480 hz. what driving freq
Korvikt [17]

600Hz is the driving frequency needed to create a standing wave with five equal segments.

To find the answer, we have to know about the fundamental frequency.

<h3>How to find the driving frequency?</h3>
  • The following expression can be used to relate the fundamental frequency to the driving frequency;

                                        f(n) = n * f (1)

where, f(1) denotes the fundamental frequency and the driving frequency f(n).

  • The standing wave has four equal segments, hence with n=4 and f(n)=4, we may calculate the fundamental frequency.

                                          f(4) = 4× f (1)

                                          480 = 4× f(1)

                                         f(1) = 480/4 =120Hz.

So, 120Hz is the fundamental frequency.

  • To determine the driving frequency necessary to create a standing wave with five equally spaced peaks?
  • For, n = 5,

                      f(n) = n 120Hz,

                      f(5) = 5×120Hz=600Hz.

Consequently, 600Hz is the driving frequency needed to create a standing wave with five equal segments.
