Answer:

Enter an equation of a chemical reaction and click 'Balance'. The answer will appear below

Always use the upper case for the first character in the element name and the lower case for the second character.

To enter an electron into a chemical equation use {-} or e

To enter an ion specify charge after the compound in curly brackets: {+3} or {3+} or {3}. Example: Fe{3+} + I{-} =...

Substitute immutable groups in chemical compounds to avoid ambiguity. For instance equation C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2...

A person jumps out a fourth-story window 14 m above a firefighter safety net. The survivor stretches the net 1.8 m before coming

Monica [59]

Answer:

The deceleration is $a = - 76.27 m/s^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height above firefighter safety net is $H = 14 \ m$

The length by which the net is stretched is $s = 1.8 \ m$

From the law of energy conservation

$KE_T + PE_T = KE_B + PE_B$

Where $KE_T$ is the kinetic energy of the person before jumping which equal to zero(because to kinetic energy at maximum height )

and $PE_T$ is the potential energy of the before jumping which is mathematically represented at

$PE_T = mg H$

and $KE_B$ is the kinetic energy of the person just before landing on the safety net which is mathematically represented at

$KE_B = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

and $PE_B$ is the potential energy of the person as he lands on the safety net which has a value of zero (because it is converted to kinetic energy )

So the above equation becomes

$mgH = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

=> $v = \sqrt{2 gH }$

substituting values

$v = 16.57 m/s$

Applying the equation o motion

$v_f = v + 2 a s$

Now the final velocity is zero because the person comes to rest

So

$0 = 16.57 + 2 * a * 1.8$

$a = - \frac{16.57^2 }{2 * 1.8}$

$a = - 76.27 m/s^2$

What current flows through a 2.54cm diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20cm long when 1000V is applied?

vfiekz [6]

Answer: $0.0039\ A$

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the rod $d=2.54\ cm$

length of rod is $l=20\ cm$

Resistivity of silicon is $\rho=6.4\times 10^2\ \Omega-m$

cross-section of the rod $A$

$\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3.142\times 2.54^2\times 10^{-4}}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=5.067\times 10^{-4}\ m^2$

Resistance of rod is R

$\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}$

$\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{640\times 0.20}{5.067\times 10^{-4}}\\\\\Rightarrow R=25.26\times 10^4\ \Omega$

Current is given by

$\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1000}{25.26\times 10^4}\\\\\Rightarrow I=0.0039\ A$
