A football is kicked from a tee at 12 m/s at 72° above the horizontal. What is the flight time of the football? __s

2.3 seconds    

Ignoring air resistance, the flight time is merely a function of gravity and vertical velocity. The vertical velocity will be the initial velocity multiplied by the sine of the angle above the horizon. So: 

 V = sin(72)*12 m/s 

 V = 0.951056516 * 12 m/s 

 V = 11.4126782 m/s   

 Gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s, so divide the vertical velocity by gravitational acceleration to get how long it takes for the ball to reach its apex. 

 11.4126782 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 1.164559 s   

 And the old saying "What goes up, must come down" really applies here. And conveniently, it's also symmetric, in that the time it takes to fall will match the time it takes to reach its apex. So multiply the time by 2.  



1.164559 s * 2 = 2.329117999 s   

 Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 2.3 seconds.

If two conductors are not touching but are close to each other, a large enough voltage will cause an _________________ to occur
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Electrical breakdown.

Explanation:

When two conductors are relatively close enough, and have a very large voltage between them, it can lead to a Dielectric breakdown. A dielectric breakdown occurs when an insulator is subjected to a high enough voltage, suddenly becomes an electrical conductor and electric current flows through it. The air between the conductors is the insulator that breaks down, leading to an electrical discharge arc to flow between the two conductors. This electrical breakdown can cause catastrophic failure of electrical equipment, and fire hazards.

30000 btuh /3413 btuh/kw. = 8.8 kw

8.8 kw/.746 kw/hp = 11.8 hp if COP is 1

11.8/3 hp (COP coefficient of performance) = 3.99 COP

>>>So yes a 3.0 hp compressor with a nominal COP of 4 will handle the 30,000 btuh load.

3.2 to 4.5 is expected COP range for an air cooled heat pump or a/c unit.

A lithium atom has three protons, three neutrons, and three electrons. What is the overall charge on this atom?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

The overall charge on this atom is 0.

  To find the charge on an atom;

           charge  = number of protons - number of electrons.

Note:

  • Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles in an atom
  • Neutrons carries no charges on them.

Since the atom is made up of equal number of protons and electrons, the charge on it is 0.

If the number of electrons is more, the atom will be negatively charge but if the number of protons is more, it will be positively charged.

The electric field strength between the plates of a simple air capacitor is equal to the voltage across the plates divided by th
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

d = V/E

Explanation:

From the definition, we can say that the electric field strength between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is

E = v/d

where

E = electric field strength

V = potential difference

d = distance between the plates

On rearranging the equation and making d subject of the formula, we have

d = V/E

From the question, we're given that

V = 112 V

E = 1.12 kV/cm converting to V/m, we have 110000 V/cm

d = 112 / 110000

d = 0.00102 m

d = 1.02*10^-3 m
