Answer:

Cape Point lighthouse

Explanation:

The lighthouse is located South of Cape Town, at a point where boats turn to go around the tip of Africa.

The new lighthouse has the most powerful light of all the lighthouses in South Africa, with a power of 10 megacandelas.  That's why it's being visible for up to 63 km around.

It's a very important lighthouse helping to conduct the traffic around dangerous waters where 2 oceans meet.

A 100 kg person rides in an elevator moving at a constant speed of
Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

All this information only applies to the person. There is an extra tension force if we are talking about the elevator, but we are not. Dont forget to apply the units

Acceleration means change in speed or velocity. The elevator is moving at a constant speed of 3 meters. You wont even know you are moving because there is no change in acceleration. It equals 0

The forces ONLY acting on the person would be the force of gravity pulling them down, and the normal force that the elevator is reciprocating from the person standing on it.

Force = mass x acceleration. You have 100 kg and you are accelerating at 0 m/s. The force is 0. Which makes sense because the force of gravity and the net force completely cancel each other out.

A stone that is dropped freely from rest traveled half the total height in the last second. with what velocity will it strike th
alexira [117]

Answer:

hellooooo :) ur ans is 33.5 m/s

At time t, the displacement is h/2:

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

h/2 = 0 + ½ gt²

h = gt²

At time t+1, the displacement is h.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

h = 0 + ½ g (t + 1)²

h = ½ g (t + 1)²

Set equal and solve for t:

gt² = ½ g (t + 1)²

2t² = (t + 1)²

2t² = t² + 2t + 1

t² − 2t = 1

t² − 2t + 1 = 2

(t − 1)² = 2

t − 1 = ±√2

t = 1 ± √2

Since t > 0, t = 1 + √2.  So t+1 = 2 + √2.

At that time, the speed is:

v = at + v₀

v = g (2 + √2) + 0

v = g (2 + √2)

If g = 9.8 m/s², v = 33.5 m/s.

At constant volume, the heat of combustion of a particular compound is − 3550.0 kJ / mol. When 1.075 g of this compound ( molar
swat32

Answer:

C=1,25\cdot 10^{5} kJ/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

First of all let's define the specific molar heat capacity.

C = \frac{-Q}{n\cdot \Delta T} (1)

Where:

Q is the released heat by the system

n is the number of moles

ΔT is the difference of temperature of the system  

Now, we can find n with the molar mass (M) the mass of the compound (m).

n=\frac{m}{M}=6.95\cdot 10^{-3} moles      

Using (1) we have:

C=\frac{-3550}{6.95\cdot 10^{-3} 4.073}

C=1,25\cdot 10^{5} kJ/^{\circ}C

I hope it helps!

Which is the electric potential energy of a charged particle divided by its charge?Electric fieldelectric field lineelectric pot
Dahasolnce [82]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

electric potential

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit charge.

Mathematically; V =PE/q

Where; PE is the electric potential energy, V is the electric potential and q is the charge.

Electric potential is more commonly known as voltage.  If you know the potential at a point, and you then place a charge at that point, the potential energy associated with that charge in that potential is simply the charge multiplied by the potential.
