Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The vertical displacement = Δy = 21.5 m - 1.5 m = 20 m

The horizontal displacement = Δx = 69 m wide

Using the formula:

$\Delta y = u_yt+ \frac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\ \\u_y=initial\ velocity\ of \ car\ in\ y\ direction = 0,a_y=g=acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\\=10m/s^2\\\\\Delta y = \frac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\\\Delta y=\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2\Delta y}{a_y} }=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{10} } =2\ m/s$

Also:

$\Delta x = u_xt+ \frac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\ \\u_x=initial\ velocity\ of \ car\ in\ x\ direction = 0,a_x=acceleration=0\\\\\Delta x = u_xt\\\\u_x=\frac{\Delta x}{t}=\frac{69}{2} =34.5\ m/s$

b)The car is moving at a constant speed in the horizontal direction, hence the initial velocity = final velocity

$v_x=u_x=34.5\ m/s\\\\v_y=u_y+a_yt\\\\v_y=0+gt\\\\v_y=10(2)=20\ m/s\\\\v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{34.5^2+20^2}=39.9\ m/s\\ v=39.9\ m/s$

Sort the chemical equations based on the chemical reactions they represent.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Decomposition reactions are said to be those reactions in which a reactants breakdown into two or more products. The general reaction for decomposition reactions is as follow,

ABC → A + B + C

Specific Examples are as,

Water → Hydrogen + Oxygen

2 H₂O → 2 H₂ + O₂

Calcium carbonate → Calcium oxide + Carbon dioxide

CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂

While, Synthetic reactions are said to be those reactions in which two or more reactants combine to form two or more products. The general reaction for synthetic reactions is as follow,

A + B + C → ABC

Specific Examples are as,

Iron + Oxygen → Iron Oxide

2 Fe + 3 O₂ → 2 Fe₂O₃

Sodium + Chlorine → Sodium chloride

2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl

Sulfur + Oxygen → Sulfur dioxide

S + O₂ → SO₂

Potassium + Chlorine → Potassium chloride

2 K + Cl₂ → 2 KCl

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

(C) Contact

Explanation:

Radiation Poisoning is a horrific disease that is transmitted in many ways. After a nuclear accident radiation is released into the atmosphere becoming airborne and affecting everyone that breathes it in. It is also transmitted in droplets from acid rainfall. Once the gamma radiation penetrates the body of a person it can contaminate other people by having skin to skin contact with the person that is contaminated. Therefore it can be prevented by having precaution of direct contact with anyone contaminated.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

25.8 lb/in²

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law tells us that given an ideal gas of a certain mass has a constant volume, the pressure exerted on the sides of its container is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

$\frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} } \\\\\frac{22}{-1.6+273.15} =\frac{P_{2} }{45+273.15} \\\\P_{2} = \frac{22*318.15}{271.55} = 25.8lb/in^{2}$
