IP The x and y components of a vector r⃗ are rx = 16 m and ry = -8.5 m , respectively

Physics
1 answer:
fiasKO [112]3 years ago
4 0

as it is given that

r_x = 16 m

r_y = -8.5 m

now we will have

\vec r = 16 \hat i - 8.5 \hat j

now the magnitude of this vector is given as

|r| = \sqrt{16^2 + 8.5^2}

|r| = 18 m

now to find the direction we can use

tan\theta = \frac{r_y}{r_x}

tan\theta = \frac{-8.5}{16}

\theta = tan^{-1}(-0.53)

\theta = - 28^0

A baseball is thrown horizontally at a rate of 40m/s toward a home plate 18.4 m away. How far below the launch height is the bal
sammy [17]

Answer:

<h3>1.03684m</h3>

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g where

R is the distance moves in horizontal direction = 18.4m

H is the height

U is the velocity of the baseball = 40m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute the given parameters into the formula and calculate H as shown;

18.4 = 40√2H/9.8

18.4/40 = √2H/9.8

0.46 = √2H/9.8

square both sides;

(0.46)² = (√2H/9.8)²

0.2116 = 2H/9.8

2H = 9.8*0.2116

2H = 2.07368

H = 2.07368/2

H = 1.03684m

Hence the ball is 1.03684m below the launch height when it reached home plate.

This exercise uses the radioactive decay model. After 3 days a sample of radon-222 has decayed to 58% of its original amount. (a
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: a) 3.85 days

b) 10.54 days

Explanation:-

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = ?

t = time taken for decomposition  = 3 days

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process  = \frac{58}{100}\times 100=58g

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

k=\frac{2.303}{3}\log\frac{100}{58}

k=0.18days^{-1}

a) Half-life of radon-222:

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{0.18}=3.85days

Thus half-life of radon-222 is 3.85 days.

b) Time taken for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount:

where,

k = rate constant  = 0.18days^{-1}

t = time taken for decomposition  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process  = \frac{15}{100}\times 100=15g

t=\frac{2.303}{0.18}\log\frac{100}{15}

t=10.54days

Thus it will take 10.54 days for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount.

Why does helium have more spectral lines than hydrogen?
Lynna [10]

<span>This is because Helium has two valence electrons compared to Hydrogen which has only one. Helium has more energy levels for an electron to jump thus more spectral lines to occur. The spectral lines relating to each change of energy level would be more grouped together and hence the greater chance of them falling in the visible range.</span>
