Answer:

3 seconds

Explanation:

Height of the building = 400 feet

Height of the ball from the ground is given by

h=400−16t²

This formula has been derived from

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s²

u = Initial velocity = 0

t = Time taken

Substituting all the values we get

s=0t+\frac{1}{2}32t^2\\\Rightarrow s=16t^2

This is the height of the ball from the top of the building

The height of the ball from the ground will be

h = 400-s

⇒h = 400−16t²

When h = 256 ft

256=400-16t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{256-400}{-16}}\\\Rightarrow t=3\ s

Time taken by the ball to reach a height of 256 feet above the ground is 3 seconds

During the interval from 1.0 s to 3.0 s. Explanation: Since vt = Z t 0 a dt, vt is the area between the acceleration curve and the t axis during the time period from 0 to t. If the area is above the horizontal axis, it is positive; otherwise, it is negative. In order for the velocity to be zero at any given time t, there would have to be equal amounts of positive and negative area between 0 and t. According to the graph, this condition is never satisfied. 005 (part 1 of 1) 0 points Identify all of those graphs that represent motion at constant speed (note the axes carefully). a) t x b) t v c) t a d) t v e) t a

The smallest unit of charge is − 1.6 × 10 − 19 C, which is the charge in coulombs of a single electron. Robert Millikan was able
vovangra [49]

Answer:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C

Explanation:

<u>Charge of an Electron</u>

Since Robert Millikan determined the charge of a single electron is

q_e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C

Every possible charged particle must have a charge that is an exact multiple of that elemental charge. For example, if a particle has 5 electrons in excess, thus its charge is 5\times -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C=-8 \cdot 10^{-19}\ C

Let's test the possible charges listed in the question:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }. We have just found it's a possible charge of a particle

-3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }. Since 3.2 is an exact multiple of 1.6, this is also a possible charge of the oil droplets

-1.2 \times 10 ^{-19 } this is not a possible charge for an oil droplet since it's smaller than the charge of the electron, the smallest unit of charge

-5.6 \times 10 ^{-19 },\ -9.4 \times 10 ^{-19 } cannot be a possible charge for an oil droplet because they are not exact multiples of 1.6

Finally, the charge -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C is four times the charge of the electron, so it is a possible value for the charge of an oil droplet

Summarizing, the following are the possible values for the charge of an oil droplet:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C

Aaden has decided to break up with his significant other. He has gone over what he is going to say, but can not decide where to
kow [346]

Answer:

The correct answer is: b. Channel

Explanation:

The Communication Process Model (CPM) is a model that describes the steps through which effective exchange of information takes place from the  sender of a message to the receiver(s) of the message. (Refer to attached image)

The CPM includes the following steps:

1. Noise- reducing physical/ physiological distractions that can impede clear communication.  

2. Communicator- the person who initiates the communication

3. Message- the information exchanged between the sender and receiver of the message

4. Feedback- How the information from the sender is received by the recipient of the communication

5. Channel- The medium by which the information is delivered from the sender to the receiver.

In this instance, when Aaden decided to have a discussion with his significant other in his home using face-to-face communication, he is deciding on the channel or medium through which the communication will this place. By choosing face-to-face communication at his home, Aaden has determined what he believes is the most appropriate context for the conversation with his significant other, given the sensitive nature of the topic. In this way, Aaden has selected a channel of communication.

Suppose Earth's gravitational force were decreased by half. How would this change affect a game of basketball? Write a paragraph
timama [110]
If the gravitational force were<span> decreased by half, there would be lack of gravity on earth. Hence, it would basically affect the velocity, speed, and the distance travelled in any direction by basketball players and the ball. The basketball would bounce higher and come down in a slower speed. Whereas for the players, they would be able to leap higher from the floor.</span><span> </span>
