<h2>Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 0.866 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 0.866 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 0.866²

                      s = 3.68 m

      Halfway is 3.68 m

Total height = 2 x 3.68 = 7.36 m

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = ?

        Displacement, s  = 7.36 m

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      7.36 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                      t = 1.22 s

Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.

Two particles with oppositely signed charges are held a fixed distance apart. The charges are equal in magnitude and they exert
damaskus [11]

Answer:

the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.

Explanation:

The initial electric force between the two charges is:

F = k \frac{q\cdot q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the magnitude of each charge

r is their separation

Later, half of one charge is transferred to the other charge; this means that one charge will have a charge of

q+\frac{q}{2}=\frac{3}{2}q

while the other charge will be

q-\frac{q}{2}=\frac{q}{2}

So, the new force will be

F' = k \frac{(\frac{q}{2})\cdot (\frac{3}{2}q)}{r^2}=\frac{3}{4} (k\frac{q\cdot q}{r^2})=\frac{3}{4}F

So, the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.

Twenty grams of a solid at 70°C is place in 100 grams of a fluid at 20°C. Thermal equilibrium is reached at 30°C.
zaharov [31]

Answer:

c. is more than that of the fluid.

Explanation:

This problem is based on the conservation of energy and the concept of thermal equilibrium

heat= m s \Delta T&#10;

m= mass

s= specific heat

\DeltaT=change in temperature

let s1= specific heat of solid and s2= specific heat of liquid

then

Heat lost by solid= 20(s_1)(70-30)=800s_1&#10;

Heat gained by fluid=100(s_2)(30-20)=1000s_2&#10;

Now heat gained = heat lost

therefore,

1000 S_2=800 S_1

S_1=1.25 S_2

so the specific heat of solid is more than that of the fluid.
