Answer:

250cm or 2.5m

Explanation:

using direct variation

the length is = l

the time (year) = t

let k be the constant

so he have:

l=kt

2.5=k× 1

k= 2.5

Now in the next statement the 100 is given but not the length so

l=kt

~ l=k× 100 years

But k = 2.5

so :

l= 2.5×100

l= 250 cm

Hence it will be 250cm or 2.5m at which they will get separated

An Austin volleyball player bumps a 5 kg ball into the air. It reaches a height of 2.8 meters. How fast was the ball going as it

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

v = 7.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass if a volleyball, m = 5 kg

The ball reaches a height of 2.8 m

We need to find how fast the ball is going as it bumped into the air. Ket the velocity is v. Using the conservation of energy to find it as follows :

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.8} \\\\=7.4\ m/s$

So, the required speed is 7.4 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (b).

Jenny was applying her makeup when she drove into the student parking lot last Friday morning . Unaware that Cheryl was stopped

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: F = 102141N

Explanation: Newton's 2nd Law states that a force can change the motion of a body. The relation is given by

F = m.a

whose units are:

[F] = N

[m] = kg

[a] = m/s²

Jenny's car, at the moment of the break, had acceleration:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

$a=\frac{11}{0.14}$

a = 78.57 m/s²

Then, Force is

F = 1300*78.57

F = 102141 N

Jenny's car experienced a force of magnitude 102141N.

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 7.00×10−10 m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelerat

Ugo [173]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 2.823 x 10¹⁷ m/s²

The acceleration of the electron is 5.175 x 10²⁰ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the electron and proton, r = 7 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

mass of proton, $m_p$ = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

mass of electron, $m_e$ = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The attractive force between the two charges is given by Coulomb's law;

$F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2}$

where;

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²

$F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(9*10^9)(1.602*10^{-19})(1.602*10^{-19})}{(7*10^{-10})^2} \\\\F = 4.714 *10^{-10} \ N$

Acceleration of proton is given by;

F = ma

$F = m_pa_p\\\\a_p = \frac{F}{m_p}\\\\a_p = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a_p = 2.823 *10^{17} \ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the electron is given by;

$F = m_ea_e\\\\a_e = \frac{F}{m_e}\\\\a_e = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{9.11*10^{-31}}\\\\a_e = 5.175 *10^{20} \ m/s^2$

How do you think electricity was discovered

sasho [114]

Italian physicist Alessandro Volta discovered that particular chemical reactions could produce electricity, and in 1800 he constructed the voltaic pile (an early electric battery) that produced a steady electric current, and so he was the first person to create a steady flow of electrical charge.
