Answer:

0.91437 m

0.22859 m

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

s=81\ inches=81\times 0.0254=2.0574\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.0574=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.0574\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.64764\ s

When the time intervals are equal, if four drops are falling then we have 3 time intervals.

So, the time interval is

t'=\dfrac{t}{3}\\\Rightarrow t'=\dfrac{0.64764}{3}\\\Rightarrow t'=0.21588\ s

For second drop time is given by

t''=2t'\\\Rightarrow t''=2\times 0.21588\\\Rightarrow t''=0.43176\ s

Distance from second drop

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow y''=ut''+\dfrac{1}{2}at''^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.43176^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.91437\ m

Distance from second drop is 0.91437 m

Distance from third drop

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow y''=ut'+\dfrac{1}{2}at'^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.21588^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.22859\ m

Distance from third drop is 0.22859 m

Calculate the final temperature of a mixture of 0.350 kg of ice initially at 218°C and 237 g of water initially at 100.0°C.
kramer

Answer:

115 ⁰C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> The heat needed to melt the solid at its melting point will come from the warmer water sample. This implies

q_{1} +q_{2} =-q_{3} -----eqution 1

where,

q_{1} is the heat absorbed by the solid at 0⁰C

q_{2} is the heat absorbed by the liquid at 0⁰C

q_{3} the heat lost by the warmer water sample

Important equations to be used in solving this problem

q=m *c*\delta {T}, where -----equation 2

q is heat absorbed/lost

m is mass of the sample

c is specific heat of water, = 4.18 J/0⁰C

\delta {T} is change in temperature

Again,

q=n*\delta {_f_u_s} -------equation 3

where,

q is heat absorbed

n is the number of moles of water

tex]\delta {_f_u_s}[/tex] is the molar heat of fusion of water, = 6.01 kJ/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate how many moles of water you have in the 100.0-g sample

=237g *\frac{1 mole H_{2} O}{18g} = 13.167 moles of H_{2}O

<u>Step 3: </u>calculate how much heat is needed to allow the sample to go from solid at 218⁰C to liquid at 0⁰C

q_{1} = 13.167 moles *6.01\frac{KJ}{mole} = 79.13KJ

This means that equation (1) becomes

79.13 KJ + q_{2} = -q_{3}

<u>Step 4:</u> calculate the final temperature of the water

79.13KJ+M_{sample} *C*\delta {T_{sample}} =-M_{water} *C*\delta {T_{water}

Substitute in the values; we will have,

79.13KJ + 237*4.18\frac{J}{g^{o}C}*(T_{f}-218}) = -350*4.18\frac{J}{g^{o}C}*(T_{f}-100})

79.13 kJ + 990.66J* (T_{f}-218}) = -1463J*(T_{f}-100})

Convert the joules to kilo-joules to get

79.13 kJ + 0.99066KJ* (T_{f}-218}) = -1.463KJ*(T_{f}-100})

79.13 + 0.99066T_{f} -215.96388= -1.463T_{f}+146.3

collect like terms,

2.45366T_{f} = 283.133

∴T_{f} = = 115.4 ⁰C

Approximately the final temperature of the mixture is 115 ⁰C

If a farsighted person has a near point that is 0.600 mm from the eye, what is the focal length f2f2f_2 of the contact lenses th
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.22mm

Explanation:

A far sighted person is a person suffering from long sightedness i.e such individual can only see far distant object clearly but not near distant object. The defect is corrected using convex lens.

Since convex lens is used, the focal (f) length of the lens is positive and the image distance (v) is also positive.

Using the lens formula,

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

Where u is the object distance = 0.35mm

v = 0.6mm

1/f = 1/0.35+1/0.6

1/f = 2.86 + 1.67

1/f = 4.53

f = 1/4.53

f = 0.22mm

The focal length of the contact lenses will be 0.22mm

A student throws a 120 g snowball at 7.5 m/s at the side of the schoolhouse, where it hits and sticks. What is the magnitude of
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of snowball, m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

velocity of the snowball, v = 7.5 m/s

duration of the collision between the snowball and the wall, t = 0.15 s

Magnitude of the average force can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

a is acceleration = v / t

a = 7.5 / 0.15

a = 50 m/s²

F = ma

F = 0.12 x 50

F = 6 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.
