Answer:

Explanation:

(a) The velocity of object is zero when it is at maximum height.

(b) The direction of velocity changes as it starts moving downwards after it reaches the maximum height.

(c) Acceleration due to gravity always acts downwards so its sign remains same.

Answer:

a) The velocity is zero when the object is at the highest vertical point (peak). b) Yes, at the peak, the velocity for an instant gets to zero and then the direction of motion and the velocity will be downwards.

C) No, the direction of ‘g’ will be opposite in direction when the object is on the way down when compared to what it was during the upward motion.

Explanation:

a) Since gravity is acting on the object and trying to pull it down to earth, the ball will slow down to a velocity of zero when the ball starts its free fall downward.

b) When the direction of the object changes, its velocity will also change direction.

c) When the ball has a positive velocity, gravity is pulling it in the opposite direction, so it has a negative acceleration trying to slow it down. When the ball's velocity is negative (downward free fall), the acceleration will be positive at the instant when the ball hits the ground. The only way to stop the ball from falling is a positive force upward, which results in a positive acceleration when the ball hits the ground.

Hope this helps :)

frozen [14]

The final atmospheric pressure is 5.19\cdot 10^4 Pa

Explanation:

Assuming that the temperature of the air does not change, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume. In formula,

pV=const.

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

The equation can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

where in our problem we have:

p_1= 1.03\cdot 10^5 Pa is the initial pressure (the atmospheric pressure at sea level)

V_1 = 90.0 L is the initial volume

p_2 is the final pressure

V_2 = 175.0 L is the final volume

Solving the equation for p2, we find the final pressure:

p_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{V_2}=\frac{(1.01\cdot 10^5)(90.0)}{175.0}=5.19\cdot 10^4 Pa

In your own words, describe why melting ice with salt freezes cream. Compare your descriptions to your classmates and describe h
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Water normally freezes at 0°C (32°F). Salt lowers the freezing temperature. (That is, it can remain a liquid at much lower temperatures.)

When sprinkled on ice, the salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water which effectively melts the ice when the salt dissolves into it. There is a limit to how low it can reduce the temperature, though. If the temperature drops below -9°C (15°F), it's too cold for the salt to dissolve into the ice.

When making ice cream, the salt lowers the temperature of the ice and water sufficiently enough to freeze the cream.

A moving object must have which type of energy
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. ... Kinetic energy can be transferred between objects and transformed into other kinds of energy. For example, a flying squirrel might collide with a stationary chipmunk.
