Answer:

23.52 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time taken (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =..?

At the maximum height, the final velocity (v) is zero. Thus, we can obtain how fast the rock (i.e initial velocity)

was thrown as follow:

v = u – gt (since the rock is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.4)

0 = u – 23.52

Collect like terms

0 + 23.52 = u

u = 23.52 m/s

Therefore, the rock was thrown at a velocity of 23.52 m/s.

A quantum system has three energy levels, so three wavelengths appear in its emission spectrum. the shortest observed wavelength

daser333 [38]

The wavelength emitted is indirectly proportional to the difference in the change in the energy level. For the wavelength 278 nm the change in energy level is significantly high. Further change in energy level is indicated by 454nm light but the difference in energy level for this wavelength to be emitted is not greater than the previous one. There is a possibility that these subsystems have now very low energy which should result in wavelengths ranging from 700 to 900 nm. There is another possibility that there is some metastable subsystems in the system which may cause LASER emission.

How much heat do you need to raise the temperature of 150 g of oxygen from -30c to -15c?

Naddika [18.5K]

The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by
$Q=m C_s \Delta T$
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cs is its specific heat capacity
$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature

For oxygen, the specific heat capacity is approximately
$C_s = 0.92 J/(g K)$
The variation of temperature for the sample in our problem is
$\Delta T= -15^{\circ}C-(-30^{\circ} C)=+15^{\circ}C=15 K$
while the mass is m=150 g, so the amount of heat needed is
$Q=m C_s \Delta T=(150 g)(0.92 J/g K)(15 K)=2070 J$

A satellite of mass 1000kg is in a circular orbit around a planet. The centripetal acceleration of the satellite in its orbit is

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: 5000N

Explanation:

The basic principle of a circular orbit is that Fg = m × ac, so as we have the mass and the centripetal acceleration (also called normal acceleration) we just have to operate. Fg = 1000kg × 5m/s² = 5000N
