Answer:

(a) 1.28 m

(b) 0.51 s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed, U = 5 m/s

Consideration;

1. When the coin is tossed upward, the coin is moving against gravity. Therefor, the acceleration due to gravity experienced by the coin is negative, -g = -9.8 m/s².

2. The final velocity of the coin in the air is zero.  

From equation of motion under free fall,

                           V² = U² + 2gh

                            h = h = \frac{V^{2} - U^{2}}{2(-g)}

Where;

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

                              h = \frac{0^{2} - 5^{2}}{2(-9.8)}

                              h = \frac{0^{-25}{19.60}

                              h = 1.2755 m

                              h = 1.28 m  

(b) The coin still has its initial velocity, u to be equal to 5 m/s, final velocity, v to be equal to 0 m/s and acceleration due to gravity to be -9.8 m/s while in the air before returning to the release point.

From equation of motion under free fall,

                                     V = U + gt

                                     t = \frac{V - U}{g}

                                     t = \frac{0 - 5}{-9.8}

                                     t = 0.51 s

Study the following reaction carefully. What classification should this reaction have?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Synthesis reaction

Explanation:

Synthesis reaction: two or more compounds combine to form one.

A + B → C

Decomposition reaction: one compound forms two or more.

C → A + B

Single replacement reaction: an element in one compound is replaced with another element.

AB + C → AC + B

Double replacement reaction: elements in two compounds replace each other.

AB + CD → AC + BD

Who can help me?? physic question​
IgorC [24]

Assuming acceleration due to gravity of the moon is constant and there’s no initial velocity in the mans jump we can use one of the kinematic equations. x(final)=x(initial)+(1/2)gt^2. Plug in known values. 0=10-(1.62/2)t^2. The value 1.62 is acceleration of gravity on the moon. Now simply solve for t. t=3.513
