The height was proudly 1720, 520 above the height of the bay.

A hot air balloon is traveling vertically upward at a constant speed of 4.5 m/s. When it is 28 m above the ground, a package is

ella [17]

Answer:

1.97 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 21=4.5t+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 21=-4.5t-4.9t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.9t^2+4.5t-28=0\\\Rightarrow 49t^2+45t-280=0$

Solving the above equation we get

$t=\frac{-45+\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}, \frac{-45-\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}\\\Rightarrow t=1.97, -2.89$

So, the time the package was in the air is 1.97 seconds

Imagine we have a 2 lb ball of putty moving with a speed of 5 mph striking and sticking to a 18 lb bowling ball at rest; the time it takes to collide is 0.1 s. After the collision, the two move together with a speed of v1. To find v1, use momentum conservation: 2x5=(18+2)v1, v1=0.5 mph. Next, imagine we have a 18 lb bowling ball moving with a speed of 5 mph striking and sticking to a 2 lb ball of putty at rest; the time it takes to collide is 0.1 s.

Which statement correctly describes the reactivity of noble gases, according to the octet rule? Their atoms have eight electrons

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct option is : Their atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, so noble gases are very unreactive.

Explanation:

The octet rule state that atoms tend to complete their last energy levels with eight electrons, and that this configuration make them very stable and unreactive.

Noble gases are characterized as unreactive atoms, and this is associated with the fact that they have a complete valence shell, it means that they have eight electrons on it (they follow the octet rule).

Atoms with less electrons on their valence shells tend to react with another atom, forming bonds, to complete their valence shells (with eight electrons).

never [62]

Answer:

N = 1364 N

Explanation:

given data

accelerate upward = 5.70 m/s²

mass = 88.0 kg

solution

normal force is in upward direction so, weight of the student in downward direction and acceleration is in upward direction so formula is express as

N - mg = ma ...........................1

N = m × (g+a)

put here value

N = 88.0 × (9.8 + 5.70)

N = 1364 N
