The launch velocity of the projectile is 13.28 m/s.

What is projectile motion?

The motion of an object thrown in the air under the force of gravity is known as projectile motion.

Since the object is launched horizontally, its initial velocity along the vertical direction is zero. From the second kinematic equation,

s=u*t+(1/2)at^2.

where s is the displacement, t is the time, u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration. Since the height is decreasing, so it will be taken negative.

For the vertical motion, s=-19.3 m, a=-9.8 m/s^2 and u=0. Put the values in the above equation and solve it.

-19.3 = (0)*t+(1/2)*(-9.8)*t^2

19.3 = (1/2)*(9.8)*t^2

t=1.98 s

Since the velocity along the horizontal direction is constant, the displacement along the horizontal direction is given by the formula,

X=vt

where X is the horizontal displacement, v is the initial horizontal velocity and t is the time.

For the horizontal motion, X=26.3 m and t=1.98 s. Put the values in this equation and solve it.

26.3=v*(1.98)

v=13.28 m/s

The launch velocity is equal to the initial horizontal velocity, so it is equal to 13.28 m/s.

Which statement describes one feature of Rutherford's model of the atom?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The atom is mostly empty space.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford in the year 1911 developed a model of an atom. In his model the atom was shown that the atom is mostly empty spaces composed of negative electrons which orbits round a positive nucleus just like planets revolving round the sun.

Rutherford came up with this model by performing experiments in 1909 which involves the scattering of alpha particles on a thin gold foil. From this experiments he came up with his model.

Use the concept of fields to describe how forces can act from a distance.
Leni [432]
The strength of a field force changes with distance from the sourceof the field-stronger closer to the source, weaker farther away from the source. The source can be either a mass, a charged particle, or a magnetic pole.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is (a), heating and soaking at a temperature above the austenitizing level followed by rapid cooling.

Explanation:

Tempering is a heat treatment that is performed to change microstructure of steel <em>and increase it's hardness.</em>

It is done by heating above the austenitizing level, because for this heat treatment it's necesary to heat the steel to get <em>austenite structure</em> that is the <em>alotropic form of gamma iron.</em>

The procedure of tempering, continues with rapid cooling, because this way you get the microstructure with the best hardness properties, that is <em>martensite.</em>
