<span>Sharon is jumping from an 18-foot diving board with an initial upward velocity of 4 ft/s. When Susan jumps, Megan throws a beach ball up to Susan with an initial upward velocity of 16 ft/s from a height 5 feet off the ground. To the nearest hundredth of a second, it will take C. 1.08 seconds for the ball to reach Sharon after she jumps. </span>

A control is a ____.

Nina [5.8K]

A control is B, standard for comparison. This is used to compare for example plants and using different fertilizers and then have one with no fertilizer. Controls are basically just a base to the entire experiment

I hope this helps you!:)

A 14000N car traveling at 25m/s rounds a curve of radius 200m. Find the following: a. The centripetal acceleration of the car.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of car $W=14,000\ N$

mass of car $m=\frac{14,000}{9.8}=1428.57\ N$

velocity of car $v=25\ m/s$

radius $r=200\ m$

(a)Centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c=\frac{25^2}{200}$

$a_c=3.125\ m$

(b)Force that provide centripetal acceleration

$F=F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$F=\frac{1428.57\times 25^2}{200}$

$F=4464.285\ N$

(c)Friction force between car and tires is given by

$=\mu N$

where $\mu$ =coefficient of static friction

N=normal reaction

Centripetal force will balance the friction force

$F_c=F_r$

$4464.285=\mu \times 1428.57\times 9.8$

$\mu =0.318$

For a particular reaction, Δ H ∘ = − 93.8 kJ and Δ S ∘ = − 156.1 J/K. Assuming these values change very little with temperature,

svetoff [14.1K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gibbs free energy and spontaneity

At constant temperature and pressure, the change in Gibbs free energy is defined as

$\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$

Where,

H = Entalpy

T = Temperature

S = Entropy

When the temperature is less than that number it is negative meaning it is a spontaneous reaction. $\Delta G$ is also always 0 when using single element reactions. In numerical that implies $\Delta G = 0$
