trasher [3.6K]
First we have to establish that the number of protons is equivalent to the atomic number of element. Here I am assuming that you are referring to Potassium (K) - 40. Potassium, stable or unstable has 19 protons.

A projectile is launched horizontally from a 20-m tall edifice with a vox of 25 m/s. How long will it take for the projectile to
NISA [10]

Answer:

a) First let's analyze the vertical problem:

When the projectile is on the air, the only vertical force acting on it is the gravitational force, then the acceleration of the projectile is the gravitational acceleration, and we can write this as:

a(t) = -9.8m/s^2

To get the vertical velocity we need to integrate over time to get:

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t + v0

where v0 is the initial vertical velocity because the object is thrown horizontally, we do not have any initial vertical velocity, then v0 = 0m/s

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t

To get the vertical position equation we need to integrate over time again, to get:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + p0

where p0 is the initial position, in this case is the height of the edifice, 20m

then:

p(t) = (-4.9m/s^2)*t^2+ 20m

The projectile will hit the ground when p(t) = 0m, then we need to solve:

(-4.9m/s^2)*t^2+ 20m = 0m

20m = (4.9m/s^2)*t^2

√(20m/ (4.9m/s^2)) = t = 2.02 seconds

The correct option is a.

b) The range will be the total horizontal distance traveled by the projectile, as we do not have any horizontal force, we know that the horizontal velocity is 25 m/s constant.

Now we can use the relationship:

distance = speed*time

We know that the projectile travels for 2.02 seconds, then the total distance that it travels is:

distance = 2.02s*25m/s = 50.5m

Here the correct option is a.

c) Again, the horizontal velocity never changes, is 25m/s constantly, then here the correct option is option b. 25m/s

d) Here we need to evaluate the velocity equation in t = 2.02 seconds, this is the velocity of the projectile when it hits the ground.

v(2.02s) =  (-9.8m/s^2)*2.02s = -19.796 m/s

The velocity is negative because it goes down, and it matches with option d, so I suppose that the correct option here is option d (because the sign depends on how you think the problem)

Consider two parallel plate capacitors. The plates on Capacitor B have half the area as the plates on Capacitor A, and the plate
vichka [17]

Answer:

CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:

C = ε₀A/d

where,

C = Capacitance

ε₀ = Permeability of free space

A = Area of plates

d = Distance between plates

FOR CAPACITOR A:

C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F

A = A₁

d = d₁

Therefore,

CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F   ----------------- equation 1

FOR CAPACITOR B:

C = CB = ?

A = A₁/2

d = 2 d₁

Therefore,

CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁

CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)

using equation 1:

CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)

<u>CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF</u>

How does the molecular structure of a water molecule affect its polarity?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The polarity of water molecules means that molecules of water will stick to each other like when unlike charges attracts. This is called hydrogen bonding.

Polarity makes water a good solvent, gives it the ability to stick to itself (cohesion), stick to other substances (adhesion), and have surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding).

When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms. The end of the molecule with the two hydrogen atoms is positively charged.
