What effect does the vertical acceleration have on the horizontal velocity of the projectile?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:
None, if air resistance is ignored.

Explanation:
At any instant, the projectile has vertical and horizontal components of velocity.
Vertical acceleration due to gravity affects the vertical velocity by accelerating the object toward the center of the earth, and by decreasing the upward vertical velocity..
The horizontal component of velocity makes the object travel horizontally as long as the projectile is airborne.
Thsi discussion assumes that air resistance is ignored.

If a reaction is exothermic, then which of the following statements is always true? If a reaction is exothermic, then which of t

sesenic [268]

Explanation:

Reactants ⇒ product + heat (exothermic reaction) ....(1)

We have given that the reaction is exothermic, so the heat is rejected from the reaction. We know that heat is the form of energy.

From equation (1)

from the given equation we can see that reactants have more energy than products.

So the reactants have higher potential energy in comparison to the products.

Three resistors are wired in parallel with a battery. Two of the resistors have resistances of 38.7 Q/ and 89.5 Q. The current i

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

$214.9 \Omega$

Explanation:

The three resistors are connected in parallel: this means that the potential difference across each resistor is the same as the voltage of the battery. This can be calculated using the information about the $38.7 \Omega$ resistor: in fact, since we know its resistance and the current flowing through it (0.155 A), we can find the potential difference across this resistor, which is equal to the voltage of the battery:

$V=IR=(0.155 A)(38.7 \Omega)=6.0 V$

We also know the total current in the circuit, 0.250 A. This means that we can find the total resistance of the circuit, using Ohm's law:

$R_{eq}=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{6.0 V}{0.250 A}=24 \Omega$

So now we now the total resistance and the resistance of two of the 3 resistors; therefore, we can find the resistance of the 3rd resistor:

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}\\\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}-\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{24 \Omega}-\frac{1}{38.7\Omega}-\frac{1}{89.5\Omega}=0.00465 \Omega^{-1}\\R_3=\frac{1}{0.00465 \Omega^{-1}}=214.9 \Omega$
