Answer:

30.63 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Maximum height (h) =.?

Next, we shall determine the time taken to reach the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height =.?

T = 2t

5 = 2t

Divide both side by 2

t = 5/2

t = 2.5 s

Thus, the time (t) taken to reach the maximum height is 2.5 s

Finally, we shall determine the maximum height reached by the ball as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height = 2.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =.?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 2.5²

h = 4.9 × 6.25

h = 30.625 ≈ 30.63 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the cannon ball is 30.63 m

Answer:

0.256 hours

Explanation:

<u>Vectors in the plane </u>

We know Office A is walking at 5 mph directly south. Let X_A be its distance. In t hours he has walked

X_A=5t\ \text{miles}

Office B is walking at 6 mph directly west. In t hours his distance is

X_B=6t\ \text{miles}

Since both directions are 90 degrees apart, the distance between them is the hypotenuse of a triangle which sides are the distances of each office

D=\sqrt{X_A^2+X_B^2}

D=\sqrt{(5t)^2+(6t)^2}

D=\sqrt{61}t

This distance is known to be 2 miles, so

\sqrt{61}t=2

t =\frac{2}{\sqrt{61}}=0.256\ hours

t is approximately 15 minutes

The normal force is the supporting force that is exerted on an object that is in contact with another stable object.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Normal force is forward or upward pushing force acting on an object. Mostly the normal force acts as supporting force exerted on the object by the neighbouring stable object with which the object in question is in contact. So normal force falls under the category of contact forces.

Generally, normal force will be acting to support the weight of any object placed on another object. The best examples of normal forces are the weight of the book supported by table or by the pushing force of the wall on the person leaning on the wall.

storchak [24]
The first thing you should know in this case is the following definition:
 PV = nRT
 Then, as the temperature is constant, then:
 PV = k
 Then, we have two states:
 P1V1 = k
 P2V2 = k
 We can then equalize both equations:
 P1V1 = P2V2
 Substituting the values:
 (1.25) * (101) = (2.25) * (P2)
 Clearing P2:
 P2 = ((1.25) * (101)) /(2.25)=56.11Kpa
 answer:
 the new pressure inside the jar is 56.11Kpa
