The acceleration of the ball in the vertical direction is $9.8 m/s^2$ , downward.

Explanation:

This is a typical example of projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion at constant velocity (since there are no forces in the horizontal direction)

- A vertical accelerated motion at constant acceleration (due to the presence of the force of gravity)

We are considering now the vertical motion only. There is only one force acting on the ball in this direction: the force of gravity, of magnitude

F = mg

where m is the mass of the ball and $g=9.8 m/s^2$ the acceleration due to gravity, downward. This means that the acceleration of the ball in this direction is (using Newton's second law)

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{mg}{m}=g = 9.8 m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the ball in the vertical direction is $9.8 m/s^2$ , downward.

Relay of thermostate is not working why

Colt1911 [192]

Check the power source. Your thermostat may just not be connected right or at all. A blown fuse, tripped circuit breaker or dead batteries will prevent the thermostat from turning on your furnace.

Dirty thermostat? That’ll cause issues. Clean up any dust, dirt, spider webs and other debris. Any of these things can coat the inside of the thermostat and interfere with both electrical and mechanical functions of the thermostat. Put this on your get-ready-for-winter cleaning list. Just use a soft, clean brush to clean the inside components gently. Don’t get anything wet. Also you can use a can of compressed air, such as is used for electronics, to clear debris.

Check for any loose wires or terminal screws inside the thermostat. Make sure wires aren’t corroded or detached. Never remove the thermostat cover without removing the batteries or turning off the power at the fuse or breaker box. Tighten screws and secure loose wires if needed.

It may be time to replace your thermostat is it’s old. They aren’t meant to last forever and an old thermostat may be costing you a lot of money in wasted energy and time spent tinkering with an outdated model. There are great programmable thermostats available now that are easy to use and simple to connect to your existing HVAC system. Click here for more info on programmable thermostats.

The engine of a 2000 kg Mercedes going up Pike’s Peak delivers energy to its drive wheel at the rate 100 kW . Neglecting air res

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of Mercedes engine = 2000 Kg

Power delivered = 100 kW

angle made with horizontal = 30°

acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

largest speed car can sustain = ?

we know,

Power = Force x velocity

P = F x v

P = mg sinθ x v

P = mg sin 30° x v

P = 0.5 mg x v

$v = \dfrac{100 \times 10^3}{0.5\times 2000 \times 10}$

v = 10 m/s

hence, the maximum velocity is equal to v = 10 m/s

If a piece of iron is placed in pure nitrogen, nothing happens. If the in is exposed to air, it begins to rust. What conclusion

kari74 [83]

Based on this, you can tell that Iron(Fe) does not react with Nitrogen(N), but does with something in normal air. The element the Iron is reacting with Oxygen(O), and the compound that is formed is called iron oxide.
