A snowball with a mass of 85 g hits the top hat of a 1.5 m tall snowman and sticks to it. the hat and the snowball, with a combi

ned mass of 220 g, fall off together at a horizontal velocity 8.0 m/s.
a.how fast was the snowball moving before the impact?
b.how far from the snowman did the top hat land?

Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,

Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.

v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s

Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds

Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m

Sunlight is a form of electromagnetic energy.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Mama L [17]
<span>The statement, Sunlight is a form of electromagnetic energy, is true. The answer is letter A. Electromagnetic energy is a form of radiant energy that released by electromagnetic radiation. One example of an electromagnetic radiation is the visible light. And visible light can be radio waves, infrared light and X - rays. The rays of the sun are a form of visible light. It has an electromagnetic radiation of UV (ultra violet) rays. That is why the radiation at day is greater than at day due to sun’s rays. </span>

What could contribute to an inaccurate vital sign reading?
amid [387]
<span>Lack of training in getting the vital sign or worst, not knowing the right way to take the vital sign could contribute to an inaccurate vital sign reading. For example, if you are tasked to get the respiration of the patient, the rule is to count inhale and exhale as one. But if you were not able to know this rule, and you counted inhale as one and exhale as another, this could impair the vital reading. </span>

Two spheres have identical charges and are 75 cm apart. the force between them is +0.30 n. what is the magnitude of the charge o
ella [17]

Answer:

4.33\cdot 10^{-6}C, charges are both positive or both negative

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between the two spheres is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges on the two spheres

r is the distance between the centres of the two spheres

In this problem, we have

F=+0.30 N is the force

r=75 cm=0.75 m is the distance between the spheres

q_1 =q_2 =q because the two spheres have identical charge

Solving the formula for q, we find

q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(+0.30 N)(0.75 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9}}=4.33\cdot 10^{-6}C

And the two charges have the same sign (so, both positive or both negative), since the sign of the force is positive (+0.30 N), so it is a repulsive force.

The scientific method is a process by which scientists: prove theories to be known facts gain confidence in theories by failing
mixer [17]

Answer:

The scientific method is the process by which scientists gain confidence in theories by failing to prove them wrong.

Explanation:

Scientific  method is a step by step process of creating and carrying out experiments. These processes to be performed are derived from logical and rational application  of knowledge concerning a particular subject matter. Through these processes, scientists reach a conclusion about the world, these makes them confident in their findings.

The steps involved in scientific method include:

Observation: it is the first step. It enables you organise in your mind how you want the experiment to.

HYPOTHESIS is the result you imagine you'll find.

PREDICTION is how you think about the scientific idea- It solely relies on the hypothesis made.

EXPERIMENT is used to test your hypothesis. It is the tool designed to check if your idea is right or wrong.

CONCLUSION is the final step. It is the result gotten from the experiment. It can approve the hypothesis or reject the hypothesis.

A theory is formed when hypothesis has been tested to be true by many scientists. Hence scientists gain confidence in theories when the scientific method is approved.

 A scientific theory is a well-approved explanation of an aspect of the natural world. The approval is based on thoroughly confirmed hypothesis and experiments carried out by many scientists.
