The correct answer is a. Measures hydroxide ion concentration (strength of the acid or base) because when you look at the scientific definition of the use of a PH scale it says... "Acidity is the amount of hydrogen protons present in a solution and basicity is the amount of hydroxide ions present in a solution. The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. It ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral."

Two blocks of clay, one of mass 1.00 kg and one of mass 7.00 kg, undergo a completely inelastic collision. Before the collision
RideAnS [48]

Answer:8 m/s

Explanation:

Given

m_1=1 kg

m_2=7 kg

kinetic Energy of m_1=32 J

initially m_2 is at rest and let say m_1 is moving with velocity u

kinetic Energy of m_1 is =\frac{m_1u^2}{2}=32

u^2=64

u=8 m/s

In Completely inelastic collision both mass stick together and move with common velocity

Suppose v is the common velocity

m_1u+0=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\frac{1\times 8}{1+7}=1 m/s

therefore Final velocity with which both blocks moves is 1 m/s

A ball is tossed with enough speed straight up so that it is in the air several seconds. (a) What is the velocity of the ball wh
irina1246 [14]

(a) Zero

When the ball reaches its highest point, the direction of motion of the ball reverses (from upward to downward). This means that the velocity is changing sign: this also means that at that moment, the velocity must be zero.

This can be also understood in terms of conservation of energy: when the ball is tossed up, initially it has kinetic energy

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m is the ball's mass and v is the initial speed. As it goes up, this kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, and when the ball reaches the highest point, all the kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy:

U=mgh

where g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height of the ball at highest point. At that point, therefore, the potential energy is maximum, while the kinetic energy is zero, and so the velocity is also zero.

(b) 9.8 m/s upward

We can find the velocity of the ball 1 s before reaching its highest point by using the equation:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity, which is negative since it points downward

v = 0 is the final velocity (at the highest point)

u is the initial velocity

t = 1 s is the time interval

Solving for u, we find

u=v-at = 0 -(-9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)= +9.8 m/s

and the positive sign means it points upward.

(c) -9.8 m/s

The change in velocity during the 1-s interval is given by

\Delta v = v -u

where

v = 0 is the final velocity (at the highest point)

u = 9.8 m/s is the initial velocity

Substituting, we find

\Delta v = 0 - (+9.8 m/s)=-9.8 m/s

(d) 9.8 m/s downward

We can find the velocity of the ball 1 s after reaching its highest point by using again the equation:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where this time we have

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity, still negative

v  is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = 0 is the initial velocity (at the highest point)

t = 1 s is the time interval

Solving for v, we find

v = u+at = 0 +(-9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)= -9.8 m/s

and the negative sign means it points downward.

(e) -9.8 m/s

The change in velocity during the 1-s interval is given by

\Delta v = v -u

where here we have

v = -9.8 m/s is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = 0 is the initial velocity (at the highest point)

Substituting, we find

\Delta v = -9.8 m/s - 0=-9.8 m/s

(f) -19.6 m/s

The change in velocity during the overall 2-s interval is given by

\Delta v = v -u

where in this case we have:

v = -9.8 m/s is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = +9.8 m/s is the initial velocity (1 s before reaching the highest point)

Substituting, we find

\Delta v = -9.8 m/s - (+9.8 m/s)=-19.6 m/s

(g) -9.8 m/s^2

There is always one force acting on the ball during the motion: the force of gravity, which is given by

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the ball

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration (a), so

mg = ma

which means that the acceleration is

a= g = -9.8 m/s^2

and the negative sign means it points downward.

A box is moving along the x-axis and its position varies in time according to the expression:
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

38.4 m/s

Explanation:

a) at t = 3.2s. x = 6 * 3.2^2 = 61.44 m

b) at t = 3.2 + Δt. x = 6*(3.2 + \Delta t)^2

c) As Δt approaches 0. We can find the velocity by the ratio of Δx/Δt

v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{x_2 - x_1}{\Delta t}

v = \frac{6*(3.2 + \Delta t)^2 - 61.44}{\Delta t}

v = \frac{6(3.2^2 + 6.4\Delta t + \Delta t^2) - 61.44}{\Delta t}

v = \frac{61.44 + 38.4\Delta t + \Delta t^2 - 61.44}{\Delta t}

v = \frac{\Delta t(38.4 + \Delta t)}{\Delta t}

v = 38.4 + \Delta t

As Δt approaches 0, v = 38.4 + 0 = 38.4 m/s

Enter your answer in the provided box. The mathematical equation for studying the photoelectric effect is hν = W + 1 2 meu2 wher
siniylev [52]

Answer:

v = 4.44 \times 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

By Einstein's Equation of photoelectric effect we know that

h\nu = W + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

here we know that

h\nu = energy of the photons incident on the metal

W = minimum energy required to remove photons from metal

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kinetic energy of the electrons ejected out of the plate

now we know that it requires 351 nm wavelength of photons to just eject out the electrons

so we can say

W = \frac{hc}{351 nm}

here we know that

hc = 1242 eV-nm

now we have

W = \frac{1242}{351} = 3.54 eV

now by energy equation above when photon of 303 nm incident on the surface

\frac{1242 eV-nm}{303 nm} = 3.54 eV + \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \times 10^{-31})v^2

4.1 eV = 3.54 eV + (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2

(4.1 - 3.54)\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}) = (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2

8.96 \times 10^{-20} = (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2

v = 4.44 \times 10^5 m/s
