Answer:

h = 31.9 m

Explanation:

Since, the ball took 5.1 s in the air. Hence, the time to reach maximum height will be equal to the half of this value:

t = 5.1 s /2 = 2.55 s

Now, we use 1st equation of motion between the time of throwing and the time of reaching maximum height:

Vf = Vi + gt

where,

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, ball momentarily stops at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = ?

g = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign for upward motion)

Therefore,

0 m/s = Vi + (-9.8 m/s²)(2.55 s)

Vi = 24.99 m/s

Now, we use second equation of motion for height (h):

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

h = (24.99 m/s)(2.55 s) + (0.5)(-9.8 m/s²)(2.55 s)²

h = 63.7 m - 31.8 m

Water can dissolve almost anything in the universe

Elodia [21]

Answer:

No, its not possible for water to dissolve almost anything in the universe.

Explanation:

Solubility of a solute defines the ability of that solute to dissolve in a given solvent. It is defined as the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. The solution which results from dissolving this maximum amount is called a saturated solution, and one it has been reached, no more solute can be dissolved in it.

Different substances in the universe have diffferent solubilities in water, some very high (soluble) (eg. sugar and salt) and some very low (insoluble) (eg plastics). The substances that are able to form bonds with water (Hydrogen or Ionic) are more soluble than those who are not able to do so.

We have two solenoids: solenoid 2 has twice the diameter, half the length, and twice as many turns as solenoid 1. The current in

leva [86]

Answer:

the field at the center of solenoid 2 is 12 times the field at the center of solenoid 1.

Explanation:

Recall that the field inside a solenoid of length L, N turns, and a circulating current I, is given by the formula:

$B=\mu_0\, \frac{N}{L} I$

Then, if we assign the subindex "1" to the quantities that define the magnetic field ( $B_1$ ) inside solenoid 1, we have:

$B_1=\mu_0\, \frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1$

notice that there is no dependence on the diameter of the solenoid for this formula.

Now, if we write a similar formula for solenoid 2, given that it has :

1) half the length of solenoid 1 . Then $L_2=L_1/2$

2) twice as many turns as solenoid 1. Then $N_2=2\,N_1$

3) three times the current of solenoid 1. Then $I_2=3\,I_1$

we obtain:

$B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{N_2}{L_2} I_2\\B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{2\,N_1}{L_1/2} 3\,I_1\\B_2=\mu_0\, 12\,\frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1\\B_2=12\,B_1$

A 0.041-kg bullet has a kinetic energy of 600j. What is the velocity of the bullet?

Paladinen [302]

171.0798 M/S

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

You and your friend throw balloons filled with water from the roof of a several story apartment house. You simply drop a balloon

Aleks [24]

Answer:

Height = 53.361 m

Explanation:

There are two balloons being thrown down, one with initial speed (u1) = 0 and the other with initial speed (u2) = 43.12

From the given information we make the following summary

$u_{1}$ = 0m/s

$t_{1}$ = t

$u_{2}$ = 43.12m/s

$t_{2}$ = (t-2.2)s

The distance by the first balloon is

$D = u_{1} t_{1} + \frac{1}{2} at_{1}^2$

where

a = 9.8m/s2

Inputting the values

$D = (0)t + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\ D = 4.9t^2$

The distance traveled by the second balloon

$D = u_{2} t_{2} + \frac{1}{2} at_{2}^2$

Inputting the values

$D = (43.12)(t-2.2) + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(t-2.2)^2$

simplifying

$D = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148$

Substituting D of the first balloon into the D of the second balloon and solving

$4.9t^2 = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148 \\ 21.56t = 71.148\\ t = 3.3s$

Now we know the value of t. We input this into the equation of the first balloon the to get height of the apartment

$D = 4.9(3.3)^2\\ D = 53.361 m$

Can someone please describe surface tension to me. Please don't give me the dictionary definition. Thank you

11111nata11111 [884]

Surface tension - My definition -

It's exactly what it says - The tension of a surface with a liquid (such as water), caused by the attraction of the surfaces layer ---- I hope this helps ---- I actually did research it and got some of this from a dictionary, but I changed some of it, too.... Sorry if this doesn't help :)
