When a ball is thrown up vertically, explain what happens and explain why final velocity is zero

ipn [44]

Answer:

As you throw the ball up into the air, its direction is up, but the speed decreases due to the pull of gravity. The ball slows down, and at the very top of its flight, its velocity at that instant is zero.

A rope is wrapped three and a half times around a cylinder. Determine the range of force T exerted on the free end of the rope f

Taya2010 [7]

The range of force exerted at the end of the rope is 285.7 N to 1,000 N.

<h3>Net horizontal force of the cylinder</h3>

The net horizontal force of the cylinder when it is at equilibrium position is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion.

∑F = 0

F - μFn = 0

F - 0.2(5,000) = 0

F - 1,000 = 0

F = 1,000 N

The strength of the applied force increases as the number of turns of the rope increases.

minimum force = total force/number of turns of rope

minimum force = 1,000/3.5

minimum force = 285.7 N

Thus, the range of force exerted at the end of the rope is 285.7 N to 1,000 N.

A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 15 yards

Trava [24]

Answer:

kick 1 has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

Explanation:

1st kick travelled 15 yards to reach maximum height of 8 yards

so, it has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

2nd kick is given by the equation

y (x) = -0.032x(x - 50)

$Y = 1.6 X - 0.032x^2$

we know that maximum height occurs is given as

$x = -\frac{b}{2a}$

$y =- \frac{1.6}{2(-0.032)} = 25$

and maximum height is

$y = 1.6\times 25 - 0.032\times 25^2$

y = 20

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

Which of the following statements best explains why elements in the same family of the periodic table have similar bonding prope

slava [35]

Answer: D. The elements have the same number of valence electrons

Explanation: The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.

The elements present in the same group or vertical column have similar valence configurations and thus behave similarly in chemical reactions or have similar bonding properties.

For Example: Both fluorine and chlorine belong to same family or group and both have 7 electrons in their valence shell and thus accept single electron to attain noble gas configuration.

$F:9:1s^22s^22p^5$

$F^-:10: 1s^22s^22p^6$

$Cl:17:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

$Cl^-:18:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6$

thus both would bond with a cation bearing a single positive charge.

Explain the Big Bang and how it started

AlexFokin [52]

The big bang is how astronomers explain the way the universe began. It is the idea that the universe began as just a single point, then expanded and stretched to grow as large as it is right now (and it could still be stretching).
