Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration we must use Newton's second law

      F = m a

      a = F / m

To calculate the force we use the defined pressure and the radiation pressure for an absorbent surface

       P = I / c        absorbent surface

       P = F / A

       F / A = I / c

       F = I A / c

The area of ​​area of ​​a circle is

      A = π r²

We replace

     F = I π r² / c

Let's calculate

     F = 8.0 10⁻³ π (1.0 10⁻⁶)²/3 10⁸

     F = 8.375 10⁻²³ N

Density is

      ρ = m / V

      m = ρ V

      m = ρ (4/3 π r³)

      m = 4500 (4/3 π (1 10⁻⁶)³)

      m = 1,885 10⁻¹⁴ kg

Let's calculate the acceleration

     a = 8.375 10⁻²³ / 1.885 10⁻¹⁴

     a = 4.44 10⁻⁹ m/s²               absorbent surface

The correct answer is B

If a stone is dropped from a height of 400 feet, its height after t seconds is given by s = 400 − 16t2. Find its instantaneous v
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

v = -32 t

Explanation:

given,

s = 400- 16 t²

we know,

Velocity of an object is defined as the change in displacement per unit change in time.

velocity an also be return as

v = \dfrac{ds}{dt}

v = \dfrac{d}{dt}(400-16t^2)

v= 0 -2\times 16 t

v = -32 t

Hence, instantaneous velocity function given by v = -32 t

To calculate instantaneous velocity, you need to insert value of time.

ex, instantaneous velocity at t = 4 s

       v = -32 x 4 = -128 m/s.

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration
lidiya [134]

Answer:

1.4m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the total distance covered divided by the total time taken.

 Average velocity  = \frac{total distance }{time }  

 Total time taken  = 5s + 6s  = 11s

The first distance covered  = velocity x time  = 1.4 x 5 = 7m

     second distance covered  = velocity x time  = 1.4 x 6  = 8.4m

So;

  Average velocity  = \frac{7 + 8.4}{11}    = 1.4m/s

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 21.8 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 101 m from the base
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

t=2.10 s

u= 47.40 m/s

Explanation:

given that

h= 21.8 m

x= 101 m

g=9.8 m/s²

Lets take horizontal speed of  ball = u m/s

The vertical speed of the car at initial condition is zero ( v= 0).

We know that

h=vt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

v= 0 m/s

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

now by putting the values

21.8 = 1/2 x 9.8 x t²

t=2.10 s

This is time when ball was in motion.

Now in horizontal direction

x = u .t

101 = u x 2.1

u= 47.40 m/s

How many moles of nitrogen are needed to completely convert 6.34 mol of hydrogen?
____ [38]
If we use the equation:
N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3
Then
1 mol of Nitrogen required 3 moles of Hydrogen
x mols : 6.34mols
X = 6.34/3
X = 2.11 moles of Nitrogen are required.
