Answer:

The velocity with which the ball strikes the ground = -5.7 m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity with which the tennis ball hits the ground, we only need to worry about what happens up to that point. We can ignore the rebound for this part. Given:

d = -1.65

a = -9.8

vi = 0

vf = ?

$v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad\\v_f^2=0+2(-9.8)(-1.65)\\v_f^2=32.34\\v_f=-5.7$

*Keep in mind that the square root gives us two answers, a positve and a negative one. We use the negative one here because the final speed is downwards and the question says down is negative.

A car moving with an initial speed of 25 m/s slows down to a speed of 5 m/s in 10 seconds Calculate a) the acceleration of the c

stealth61 [152]

Answer :

(a) The acceleration of the car is, $-2m/s^2$

(b) The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

Explanation :

By the 1st equation of motion,

$v=u+at$ ...........(1)

where,

v = final velocity = 5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration of the car = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation 1, we get:

$5m/s=25m/s+a\times (10s)$

$a=-2m/s^2$

The acceleration of the car is, $-2m/s^2$

By the 2nd equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ ...........(2)

where,

s = distance covered by the car = ?

u = initial velocity = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration of the car = $-2m/s^2$

Now put all the given values in the above equation 2, we get:

$s=(25m/s)\times (10s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-2m/s^2)\times (10s)^2$

By solving the term, we get:

$s=150m$

The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

The temperature of a smelting furnace is found to be 2000 ℃. Find the

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a) The equivalent temperature of 2000 ºC is 3632 ºF.

b) The equivalent temperature of 2000 ºC is 4091.67 R.

c) The equivalent temperature of 2000 ºC is 2273.15 K.

d) The equivalent temperature of 2000 ºC is 1600 ºRe.

Explanation:

a) The equivalent temperature on the Fahrenheit scale is defined by the following formula:

$T_{F} = \frac{9}{5}\cdot T_{C}+32$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$T_{C}$ - Temperature, measured in degrees Celsius.

$T_{F}$ - Temperature, measured in degrees Fahrenheit.

If we know that $T_{C} = 2000\,^{\circ}C$ , then the temperature is:

$T_{F} = \frac{9}{5}\cdot (2000\,^{\circ}C)+32\,^{\circ}F$

$T_{F} = 3632\,^{\circ}F$

The equivalent temperature of 2000 ºC is 3632 ºF.

b) From result in a) we determine the equivalent temperature on the Rankine scale by using the following formula:

$T_{R} = T_{F}+459.67$ (Eq. 2)

Where:

$T_{F}$ - Temperature, measured in degrees Fahrenheit.

$T_{R}$ - Temperature, measured in Rankine.

If we know that $T_{F} = 3632\,^{\circ}F$ , then the temperature is:

$T_{R} = 3632\,^{\circ}F+459.67\,R$

$T_{R} = 4091.67\,R$

The equivalent temperature of 2000 ºC is 4091.67 R.

c) The equivalent temperature on the absolute scale is calculated by using this expression:

$T_{K} = T_{C}+273.15$ (Eq. 3)

Where:

$T_{C}$ - Temperature, measured in degrees Celsius.

$T_{K}$ - Temperature, measured in Kelvin.

If we know that $T_{C} = 2000\,^{\circ}C$ , then the temperature is:

$T_{K} = 2000\,^{\circ}C+273.15\,K$

$T_{K} = 2273.15\,K$

The equivalent temperature of 2000 ºC is 2273.15 K.

d) The equivalent temperature on the Réaumur scale is calculated by applying this expression:

$T_{Re} = \frac{4}{5}\cdot T_{C}$ (Eq. 4)

Where:

$T_{C}$ - Temperature, measured in degrees Celsius.

$T_{Re}$ - Temperature, measured in degrees Réaumur.

If we know that $T_{C} = 2000\,^{\circ}C$ , then the temperature is:

$T_{Re} = \frac{4}{5}\cdot (2000\,^{\circ}C)$

$T_{Re} = 1600\,^{\circ}Re$

The equivalent temperature of 2000 ºC is 1600 ºRe.

Matter is made up of very small particles

aivan3 [116]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The given statement on matter is true.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The matter refers to any substance or object that occupies volume. A matter always has mass which are composed of huge number of microscopic particles named atoms. The atoms are comprises subatomic particle, however, it does not contain particle like photons (massless particle).

The matter is classified widely based on many factors and based on its existence it is classified as liquid solid, and fluid. Depending on the structure, the matter is classified into baryonic matter, hadronic matter, degenerate matter, and strange matter.

Thus, the matter comprises tiny particles.

What Occurs at divergent boundaries and creates new seafloor

lisabon 2012 [21]

Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.

If a meter stick moves to your right at a constant velocity of 0.8 c, what would you measure its length to be

alina1380 [7]

To solve this problem , we will use the length contraction equation as follows:
L = L0((1 - v^2/c^2))^0.5
where:
L is the desired length
L0 is the length measured at initial frame = 1 m
v is the velocity
c is the speed of light

Substituting by these givens in the above equation, we can calculate L as follows:
L = 1((1 - (0.8 c)^2/c2))^0.5 = 0.6 meters
