Given parameters:

Initial velocity of Coin = 0m/s

Time taken before coin hits ground  = 5.7s

Unknown:

Final velocity of the coin  = ?

Velocity is displacement with time. To solve this problem, we have to apply one of the equations of motion.

The fitting one of them here is shown below;

             V = U + gt

where;

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Here we use positive value of acceleration due to gravity because the coin is falling with the effect of acceleration and not against it.

Now input the parameters and solve;

               V  = 0 + 9.81 x 5.7

               V = 55.917m/s

Therefore, the final velocity is 55.917m/s.

A person wants to fire a water balloon cannon such that it hits a target 100m100m away. if the cannon can only be launched at 45
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>31.3 m/s Since the water balloon is being launched at a 45 degree angle, the horizontal and vertical speeds will be identical. Also the time the balloon takes to reach its peak altitude will match the time it takes to fall. So let's create a few expressions about what we know. Distance the water balloon travels at velocity v for time t d = vt Total time required for the entire trip is double since the balloon goes up, then goes down t = 2v/a Now let's plug in the numbers we have, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 t = 2v/9.8 100 = vt Substitute 2v/9.8 for t in the 2nd formula 100 = v(2v/9.8) Solve for v. 100 = v(2v/9.8) 100 = 2v^2/9.8 980. = 2v^2 490 = v^2 22.13594 = v So we now know that both the horizontal velocity and vertical velocity needed is 22.13594 m/s. Let's verify that 2*22.13594 / 9.8 = 4.51754 So it will take 4.51754 second for the balloon to hit the ground after being launched. 4.51754 * 22.13594 = 100 And during that time it will travel 100 meters horizontally. But we need to know the total velocity. And the Pythagorean theorem comes to the rescue. Just square the 2 velocities, add them together, and take the square root. We already know the square is 490 from the work above, so sqrt(490+490) = sqrt(980) = 31.30495 m/s</span>

Some hypothetical alloy is composed of 12.5 wt% of metal A and 87.5 wt% of metal B. If the densities of metals A and B are 4.27
densk [106]

Answer:

The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of metal A = 12.5%

Weight of metal B = 87.5%

Length of unit cell = 0.395 nm

Density of A = 4.27 g/cm³

Density of B= 6.35 g/cm³

Weight of A = 61.4 g/mol

Weight of B = 125.7 g/mol

We need to calculate the density of the alloy

Using formula of density

\rho=n\times\dfrac{m}{V_{c}\times N_{A}}

n=\dfrac{\rho\timesV_{c}\times N}{m}....(I)

Where, n = number of atoms per unit cells

m = Mass of the alloy

V=Volume of the unit cell

N = Avogadro number

We calculate the density of alloy

\rho=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{4.27}+\dfrac{87.5}{6.35}}\times100

\rho=5.98

We calculate the mass of the alloy

m=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{61.4}+\dfrac{87.5}{125.7}}\times100

m=111.15

Put the value into the equation (I)

n=\dfrac{5.9855\times(0.395\times10^{-9}\times10^{2})^3\times6.023\times10^{23}}{111.15}

n=1.99\approx 2\ atoms/cell

Hence, The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

Which of the following periodic properties increases as you move from left to right across the periodic table?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

the answer choice is B

Explanation:

as we move from left to right , the atomic size decreases due to higher number of protons in the nucleus, which are able to attract the electrons more strongly. and so the electronegativity and  electron affinity increases for the same reason. the nuclear charge increase due to more protons , and without an increase in inner electrons , there is less shielding effect. so effective nuclear charge increases.
