Answer:2.541

Explanation:

Well , Potential Energy = mgh

m=mass = 82

g=acceleration of gravity=9.80m/s^2

h=what we are looking for

PE=mgh

PE/(mg) = h

Substitute in the values:

1970/(82 x 9.8) = h 2.541

the gas in a balloon has P=100000 pa and v=0.0279 m^3. if the pressure increases to 120000 pa at constant temperature, what is t
mash [69]

Answer:

New volume of the baloon is 0.02325m^3

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to know the ideal gas law, which says:

p•V = n•R•T

p is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of substance (in moles), R is constant value and T is temperature.

Since it's stated that n and T are constant, and we know that R is a constant too, that means that p•V = constant value. Basically, that means that p1•V1 (pressure and volume before the pressure increase) equals to p2•V2 (pressure and volume after the pressure increase).

That means that:

100000 Pa • 0.0279 m^3 = 120000 Pa • V2. Next, V2= 100000•0.0279/120000. So, V2=0.02325m^3.

A truck covers 47.0 m in 8.60 s while smoothly slowing down to final speed of 2.30 m/s. (a) Find its original speed.
Kruka [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, s = 47 m

Time taken, t = 8.6 s

Final speed of the truck, v = 2.3 m/s

Let u is the initial speed of the truck and a is its acceleration such that :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}.............(1)

Now, the second equation of motion is :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value of a in above equation as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times t^2

s=\dfrac{t(u+v)}{2}

u=\dfrac{2s}{t}-v

u=\dfrac{2\times 47}{8.6}-2.3

u = 8.63 m/s

So, the original speed of the truck is 8.63 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 58 kg skier is going down a 35 degree slope. The areaof each
maxonik [38]

To solve this problem we will use a free body diagram that allows us to determine the Normal Force.

In general, the normal force would be equivalent to

N = mgcos\theta

Since the skier is standing on two skis, his weight will be divide by two

N' = \frac{mgcos\theta}{2}

Pressure is given as the force applied in a given area, that is

P = \frac{F}{A}

Replacing F with N'

P = \frac{N'}{A}

P = \frac{\frac{mgcos\theta}{2}}{A}

Our values are given as,

m = 58kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

\theta = 35\°

A = 0.3m^2

Replacing we have that

P = \frac{\frac{(58)(9.8)cos(35)}{2}}{0.3}

P = 776.01Pa

Therefore the pressure exerted by each ski on the snow is 776.01Pa

What is the maximum number of unpaired d electrons that an atom or ion can possess?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

5

Explanation:

The d subshell has 5 orbitals, each capable of holding a maximum of two electrons. Hund's rule tells us that every orbital in a sub-level must first be singly occupied by electrons before any orbital is doubly occupied. Therefore five electrons will fill the five orbitals within the d subshell.
