The correct answer is 29.4 m/s.

The right formula to use for the scenario given in the question is:

Vf = Vi + at

Where: Vf = Final velocity = ?

Vi = Initial velocity = 0

a = Acceleration [due to gravity] = 9.8 m/s

T = Time = 3 s

Note that an object that is falling down from a height has an initial velocity of zero.

Vf = 0 + [9.8 * 3] = 29.4

Therefore, final velocity = 29.4 m/s.

To solve this kinematics formula use the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at
Vf = 0 + (9.81 m/s^2)(3 seconds)
Vf = 29.43 m/s and or about 29.4 m/s of reported to 3 significant figures.

32,500 joules are used to boil a sample of water at its melting point what is the mass of the water?

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

43.18 gm

Explanation:

Heat of fusion of water at 0° C is 334 j/gm

then you have to heat the water to boiling point (100 C)

specific heat of water is 4.186 j/g-c

x = grams of water

x ( 334 + 4.186 (100) ) = 32500

x = 43.18 gm

For the molecule whose condensed structural formula is given below, decide if cis-trans isomers are possible. If they are, enter

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

cis 2,3-dibromo- 2-butene

trans 2,3-dibromo- 2-butene

Explanation:

The cis-trans or geometric isomerism is due to restricted rotation around a carbon-carbon bond. This restriction may be due to the presence of double bonds or cycles.

The carbon-carbon double bond prevents free rotation of atoms in molecules. These two molecules have the same atoms, but they are different molecules. They are geometric isomers to each other.

The given compound can exist in the form of two isomers, cis and trans. The isomer that has the substituents on the same side is called cis, and the one that has them on opposite sides is trans.

Suppose you are presented with a clear solution of sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3 . How could you determine whether the solution is

navik [9.2K]

Explanation:

A solution is said to saturated when it cannot dissolve any extra solute in it. The extra solute put remains undissolved.

A solution is said to unsaturated, when the concentration of solute is less as compared to solubility of the solution it is said to be unsaturated.

A solution is said to be super saturated when it contains more of the solute than the solvent can dissolve under normal conditions is called super saturated.
