Answer: after 1.75 seconds

Explanation:

The only force acting on the ball is the gravitational force, so the acceleration will be:

a = -9.8 m/s^2

the velocity can be obtained by integrating over time:

v = -9.8m/s^2*t + v0

where v0 is the initial velocity; v0 = -7.95 m/s.

v = -9.8m/s^2*t - 7.95 m/s.

For the position we integrate again:

p = -4.9m/s^2*t^2 - 7.95 m/s*t + p0

where p0 is the initial position: p0 = 29m

p =  -4.9m/s^2*t^2 - 7.95 m/s*t + 29m

Now we want to find the time such that the position is equal to zero:

0 = -4.9m/s^2*t^2 - 7.95 m/s*t + 29m

Then we solve the Bhaskara's equation:

t = \frac{7.95 +- \sqrt{7.95^2 +4*4.9*29} }{-2*4.9} = \frac{7.95 +- 25.1}{9.8}

Then the solutions are:

t = (7.95 + 25.1)/(-9.8) = -3.37s

t = (7.95 - 25.1)/(-9.8) = 1.75s

We need the positive time, then the correct answer is 1.75s

Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting. A) The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchan
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

Explanation:

As we may know, the change in state of an object is due to the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles.

This average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the particles.

This is because heat is a form of energy; by adding energy to ice - heat, you "excite" the water molecules, breaking the interactions in the lattice structure and forming weaker, looser hydrogen-bonding interactions.

This causes the ice to melt. This is demonstrated in the image below.

More generally, when you remove energy - the object cools down, the particles move a lot slower. So slow, that they individually attract other molecules more than before, and this results in a physical change that also changes the state.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The scientific questions here are:

<em>a) How will climate change affect forests</em>

<em>b) How did life on Earth begin</em>

<em>c) Why did dinosaurs go extinct</em>

Explanation:

Scientific question are logical quantifiable questions, whose answers can be measured. A good scientific question must have answers that can be tested by a carefully designed experiment or measurement. Some qualities like "prettiest" and "amazing" cannot be tested for nor are they measurable, and hence, they do not make a testable component of good scientific question.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

fo = 378.52Hz

Explanation:

Using Doppler effect formula:

f'=\frac{C-Vb}{C-Va}*fo

where

f' = 392 Hz

C = 340m/s

Vb = 20m/s

Va = 31m/s

Replacing these values and solving for fo:

fo = 378.52Hz
