Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Horizontal velocity = 9.00m/s

time taken = 0.550 s

Required

How far does the projectile fall in the vertical direction

Using the formula for finding the maximum height of the projectile

H = U²sin²θ/2g where;

U = 9.00m/s

θ = 90° (object launched in the vertical direction)

g = 9.81m/s²

Substituting the given parameters into the formula;

H = 9²sin²90/2(9.81)

H = 81(1)/19.62

H = 81/19.62

H = 4.128 m

H ≈ 4.13m

Hence the distance that the projectile fall in the vertical direction is 4.13m

Cole is riding a sled with initial speed of 5 m/s from west to east. the frictional force of 50 n exists due west. the mass of t

stepan [7]

We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
where $F=-50 N$ is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{-50 N}{100 kg}=-0.5 m/s^2$

Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
$a= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2d}$
where
$v_f=0$ is the final speed of the sled
$v_i=5 m/s$ is the initial speed
$d$ is the distance covered

By rearranging the equation, we find d:
$d= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2a}= \frac{-(5 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot (-0.5 m/s^2)}=25 m$

When a calcium atom forms an ion, it loses two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the calcium ion? a) −2 b) −1 c)+ 1 d)

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

We know that Calcium has 20 electrons and 20 protons. It lost two electrons, it has 20 protons, but only 18 electrons. This makes calcium a positive ion with a charge of +2.
