They have similar physical and chemical properties because of thier valence electrons

a body is projected at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal with a velocity of 15m/s, calculate the time it takes to reach t

andreev551 [17]

Explanation:

The vertical component the velocity of the projectile is 15 m/s x sin 30 = 7.5 m/s.

The body is accelarating downwards at 10 m/s^2.

This means that every second its upward velocity reduces by 10 m/s.

So if the body is travelling upwards at 7.5 m/s then how long does it take for the velocity to become 0?

(7.5 m/s) / (10 m/s^2) = 0.75 s

Two objects, one having twice the mass of the other, are initially at rest. Two forces, one twice as big as the other, act on th

Elodia [21]

<em><u>Note: There is no image to take as a reference, so I'm assuming F2 directed to the right and F1 to the left, and F2=2F1</u></em>

Answer:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{3M}$

<em>to the right</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

When several forces are applied to a particle or a system of particles, the net force is the sum of them all, considering each force as a vector. As for the second Newton's law, the total force equals the product of the mass by the acceleration of the system:

$\vec F_n=m\cdot \vec a$

If the net force is zero, then the system of particles keeps at rest or at a constant velocity.

The system of particles described in the question consists of two objects of masses m1=M and m2, where

$m_2=2m_1=2M$

Two forces F1=F and F2 act individually on each object in opposite directions and

$F_2=2F_1=2F$

We don't get to see any image to know where the forces are applied to, so we'll assume F2 to the right and F1 to the left.

The net force of the system of particles is

$F_n=2F-F=F$

The mass of the system is

$m_t=m_1+m_2=3M$

Thus, the acceleration of the center of mass of the system is

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{3M}$

Since F2 is greater than F1, the direction of the acceleration is to the right.

Note: If the forces were opposite than assumed, the acceleration would be to the left

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by _____.\

bonufazy [111]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Satellite

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by<u> Satellite</u>

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

The topography of the ocean or the height of the ocean surface relative to a level of no motion provides the information on tides, and the distribution of heat and mass in the Earths's oceans.
<em><u>The ocean topography is measured using satellites altimeter. Satellites use radar altimeters that are specially made to measure the height of the ocean surface. The satellites measure the height of the ocean surface with an accuracy of 3 cm relative to the center of the earth.</u></em>
Satellite altimeter combines precise orbit determination with accurate ranging by a microwave altimeter of ocean distance to the satellite.
