Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. a fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. a

Alchen [17]

The height of the roof is <u>3.57m</u>

Let the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop per t seconds. The first drop takes 5t seconds to reach the ground. The second drop takes 4t seconds to reach the bottom of the 1.00 m window, while the 3rd drop takes 3t s to reach the top of the window.

Calculate the distances traveled by the second and the third drops s₂ and s₃, which start from rest from the roof of the building.

$s_2=\frac{1}{2} g(4t)^2=8gt^2\\ s_3=\frac{1}{2} g(3t)^2=(4.5)gt^2$

The length of the window s is given by,

$s=s_2-s_3\\ (1.00 m)=8gt^2-4.5gt^2=3.5gt^2\\ t^2=\frac{1.00 m}{(3.5)(9.8m/s^2)} =0.02915s^2$

The first drop is at the bottom and it takes 5t seconds to reach down.

The height of the roof h is the distance traveled by the first drop and is given by,

$h=\frac{1}{2} g(5t)^2=\frac{25t^2}{2g} =\frac{25(0.02915s^2)}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =3.57 m$

the height of the roof is 3.57 m

I have a voltage source of 12V but a light that only burns at 5V. The lamp works on 18 mA. Calculate the resistance that you EXT

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

Explanation:

Given;

Voltage source, E = 12 V

Voltage rating of the lamp, V = 5 V

Current through the lamp, I = 18 mA

Extra voltage or potential drop = 12 V - 5 V = 7 V

The resistance that will provide this potential drop (7 V) is calculated as follows:

$R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{7 \ V}{18 \times 10^{-3} A} \ = 388.89 \ ohms$

Therefore, the resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

For the equilibrium reaction N2O4(g) ⇀↽ 2 NO2(g) taking place inside a sealed container fitted with a piston, predict the effect

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

4. The equilibrium will shift to favor formation of NO2(g)

Explanation:

According to La Chatalier's Principle which states that when an equilibrium system undergoes changes either in temperature, volume or concentration; there will be in a change in the system in order to reach equilibrium.

From the above equation,

N2O4(g) ⇀↽ 2 NO2(g)

From the above reaction, there are 2 moles of gaseous product on the left and 1 mole of gaseous reactant.

Therefore, there are more moles of gases in the left hand side than the right hand side.

Because a decrease in volume favors the direction that produces fewer moles, an increase in volume will therefore shift this system towards the side with more moles of gases that is, more products are formed hence, this system will shift to right and produce more moles of products i.e more NO2(g) formed.

Why do you need a driver’s license to buy alcohol when you can’t drink and drive?

exis [7]

Answer:

Because when people under the age of 21 try to buy alcohol, they need to be verified by their state that they are that age. So if they are under legal age, 21, the store isn't allowed to give them the Alcoholic beverage.
