Answer: 13.2 seconds.

Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0

S= distance travelled

a = acceleration due gravity

t= time.

1 foot = 0.305m so,

S= 2860 feet =872.3m

S= ut+1/2 at²

872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²

872.3 =0 + 5t²

T²= 872.3/5

T²= 174.46

Take the square root of T we then have;

t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.

An electric iron is connected to the mains power supply of 220 V. When the electric iron is
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Given: V = 220V, Pmin = 360W, Pmax = 840W

For minimum heating case:

We know that

Pmin = VI

360 = 220 X I

I = 1.63 amp

R = V/I

R = 220/1.63

R = 134.96ohms

For maximum heating case:

We know that

Pmax = VI

840 = 220 X I

I = 3.81 amp

R = V/I

R = 220/3.81

R = 57.74 ohms

2. A particular planet has a moment of inertia of 9.74 × 1037 kg•m2 and a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg. Based on these values, what is
mash [69]

Answer:

6.38\cdot 10^6 m

Explanation:

The planet can be thought as a solid sphere rotating around its axis. The moment of inertia of a solid sphere rotating arount the axis is

I=\frac{2}{5}MR^2

where

M is the mass

R is the radius

For the planet in the problem, we have

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg

I=9.74\cdot 10^{37} kg\cdot m^2

Solving the equation for R, we find the radius of the planet:

R=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2M}}=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74\cdot 10^{37}}{2(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}}=6.38\cdot 10^6 m

A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a turntable, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between her and the axis of rotation. The turn
inn [45]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The ladybug begins to slide

Explanation:

To solve the question we assume that the frictional force of the ladybug and the gentleman bug are the same

Where the  frictional force equals F_{Friction} = μ×N = m×g×μ

and the centripetal force is given by m·ω²·r

If we denote the properties of the ladybug as 1 and that of the gentleman bug as 2, we have

m₁×g×μ = m₁·ω²·r₁ ⇒ g×μ = ω²·r₁

and for the gentleman bug we have

m₂×g×μ = m₂·ω²·r₂ ⇒ g×μ = ω²·r₂

But r₁ = 2×r₂

Therefore substituting the values of r₁ =2×r₂ we have

g×μ = ω²·r₁ = g×μ = ω²·2·r₂

Therefore   ω²·r₂ = 0.5×g×μ for the ladybug. That is the ladybug has to overcome half the frictional force experienced by the gentleman bug before it start to slide

The ladybug begins to slide

If the pressure of gas is doubled and its absolute temperature is quadrupled, the volume is what factor times the original?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Volume will increase by factor 2

So option (A) will be correct answer  

Explanation:

Let initially the volume is V pressure is P and temperature is T

According to ideal gas equation PV=nRT, here n is number of moles and R is gas constant

So V=\frac{nRT}{P}....................eqn 1

Now pressure is doubled and temperature is quadrupled

So new volume V_{new}=\frac{nR4T}{2P}=\frac{2nRT}{P} ........eqn 2

Now comparing eqn 1 nad eqn 2

V_{new}=2V

So volume will increase by factor 2

So option (A) will be correct answer

Which set of atoms will form an ionic compound?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The answer is A)

Explanation:

An ionic compound is formed when one atom donates one or more electrons to one or more atoms of another element. Calcium has two valence electrons, which are donated to an atom of oxygen. So, an ionic compound is formed in the reaction involving one calcium atom with an oxygen atom.
