Answer:

0.7864m

Explanation:

Ignore air resistance (the ball's horizontal speed stays constant), the time it takes for the ball to travel 1.95 m horizontally at the rate of 4.87 m/s.

t = 1.95 / 4.88 = 0.4s

This is also the time it takes to fall vertically with gravitational acceleration of g = 9.81 m/s2. We can use the following equation of motion to estimate the vertical distance:

$h = gt^2/2$

$h = 9.81*0.4^2/2 = 0.7864 m$

Protons and neutrons are made from combinations of the two most common quarks, the u quark and the d quark. The u quark's charge

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Part A B. Part B C.

Explanation:

A) The elementary charge e (without sign) is equal to the charge of one electron (with negative sign) or to the charge of one proton (with positive sign), so the proton must have a total charge of +e.

if u = +2/3 e and d= -1/3 e, we need a combination which sum gives +3/3 e.

Combination A adds to 6/3e, so it is not possible. C adds to zero, and D gives a negative result.

The only remaining choice is udd:

uud ⇒ +2/3 e + 2/3 e -1/3 e = +3/3 e = +e

So, the statement B is true.

B) As the neutron has no net charge, we need to find a combination which sum adds to zero.

So, A and D are not possible, as they are combinations of the same type of quarks, so the sum is either positive or negative, but not zero.

uud gives +e (we chose it to make a proton in part A), so the only remaining choice is udd:

udd⇒ +2/3 e -1/3 e - 1/3 e = 0

So the statement C is true.

What is the most violent star death called

gogolik [260]

Hi there!

The most violent star death is a Supernova. This is the massive explosion of a supergiant star as it's fuel source runs out and it can no longer fuse iron at its core safely. This causes the star to swell to unstable sizes until it explodes in a Supernova. The amount of energy that is output during a supernova is equivalent to all the energy our own Sun outputs in its whole lifetime.

The previous part could be done without using the decay equation, because the ratio of original 14C14C to present 14C14C was an

salantis [7]

Answer:

The decay constant is 1.21×10^-4/year

Explanation:

Decay constant = 0.693/half-life

Half-life = 5730 years

Decay constant = 0.693/5730 years = 1.21×10^-4/year

Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. a fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. a

Alchen [17]

The height of the roof is <u>3.57m</u>

Let the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop per t seconds. The first drop takes 5t seconds to reach the ground. The second drop takes 4t seconds to reach the bottom of the 1.00 m window, while the 3rd drop takes 3t s to reach the top of the window.

Calculate the distances traveled by the second and the third drops s₂ and s₃, which start from rest from the roof of the building.

$s_2=\frac{1}{2} g(4t)^2=8gt^2\\ s_3=\frac{1}{2} g(3t)^2=(4.5)gt^2$

The length of the window s is given by,

$s=s_2-s_3\\ (1.00 m)=8gt^2-4.5gt^2=3.5gt^2\\ t^2=\frac{1.00 m}{(3.5)(9.8m/s^2)} =0.02915s^2$

The first drop is at the bottom and it takes 5t seconds to reach down.

The height of the roof h is the distance traveled by the first drop and is given by,

$h=\frac{1}{2} g(5t)^2=\frac{25t^2}{2g} =\frac{25(0.02915s^2)}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =3.57 m$

the height of the roof is 3.57 m

A steel ball and a wooden ball of the same diameter are released together from the top of a tower. In the absence of air resista

ella [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The steel ball and the wooden ball do not have the same force acting on them because their masses are different. But, they have the same acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s².

Using the equation of motion under freefall, s = ut +1/2gt². Since u = 0,

s = 1/2gt² ⇒ t = √(2s/g)

Since. s = height is the same for both objects, they land at the same time neglecting air resistance.
