Answer:

18.6 m/s

Explanation:

$h$ = Initial height of the balloon = 11 m

$v_{o}$ = initial speed of the ball

$v_{oy}$ = initial vertical speed of the ball = 7 m/s

$v_{ox}$ = initial horizontal speed of the ball = 9 m/s

initial speed of the ball is given as

$v_{o} = \sqrt{v_{ox}^{2} + v_{oy}^{2}} = \sqrt{9^{2} + 7^{2}} = 11.4 m/s$

$v_{f}$ = final speed of the ball as it strikes the ground

$m$ = mass of the ball

Using conservation of energy

Final kinetic energy before striking the ground = Initial potential energy + Initial kinetic energy

$(0.5) m v_{f}^{2} = (0.5) m v_{o}^{2} + mgh \\(0.5) v_{f}^{2} = (0.5) v_{o}^{2} + gh\\(0.5) v_{f}^{2} = (0.5) (11.4)^{2} + (9.8)(11)\\(0.5) v_{f}^{2} = 172.78\\v_{f} = 18.6 m/s$

Answer:

0.95 second

Explanation:

height, h = 11 m

ux = 9 m/s

uy = 7 m/s

Let it takes time t to strike the ground.

Use second equation of motion

$h = u_{y}t + 0.5 gt^{2}$

- 11 = 7 t - 0.5 x 9.8 t²

-11 = 7t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 7t - 11 = 0

$t=\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{49+4\times4.9\times11}}{9.8}$

$t=\frac{-7\pm 16.27}{9.8}$

take positive sign

t = 0.95 second

Thus, the time taken to reach the ground is 0.95 second.

what happens to the current in a circuit if the resitance of the components in the circuit is increased

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The current decreases.

Explanation:

Current and resistance are inversely proportional. The equation connecting current, resistance and voltage is $V = IR$ , where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

Rearranging this equation, you get:

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

and

$R = \frac{V}{I}$

If the value of voltage in both equations remains constant, and the value of R decreases, the value of I will increase. Conversely, if in the second equation $R = \frac{V}{I}$ , the value of V remains constant the value of I decreases, then the value of R, resistance will increase.

Thus, it can be seen that the current will decrease as resistance increases and vice versa.

Alfredo makes a diagram to organize his notes about charging objects.

konstantin123 [22]

The region marked X in the diagram shows that the objects have the same charge.

<h3>What is conduction?</h3>

The term conduction has to do with the manner of charging in which charge is passed from one object to another. Induction involves charging objects without the objects touching each other.

5g of ammonium nitrate was dissolved in 60g of water in an insulated container. The temperature at the start of the reaction was

Minchanka [31]

Answer: The energy absorbed by the reaction from the water is 996 Joules.

Explanation:

Energy absorbed by the reaction or energy lost by the water to the reaction,Q.

Mass of the the reaction ,m = 60 g

Specific heat of water = c = 4.15 J\g ^oC

Change is temperature= $\Delta T=19^oC-23^oC=-4^oC$

$Q=mc\Delta T=60 g\times 4.15 J\g ^oC\times (-4^oC)=-996 Joules$

Negative sigh indicates that energy was given by the water to the reaction.

The energy absorbed by the reaction from the water is 996 Joules.

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle

expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, $\lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m$

(a) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}$

$\theta=0.104^{\circ}$

(b) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}$

$\theta=10.47^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

What specific structures are in electroreceptors?

Slav-nsk [51]

Electroreception is limited to aquatic environments because on here is the resistivity of the medium is low enough for electric currents to be generated as the result of electric fields of biological origin. In air, the resistivity of the environment is so high that electric fields from biological sources do not generate a significant electric current. Electroreceptor are found in a number of species of fish, and in at least one species of mammal, the Duck-Billed platypus.
