We have 6 levels and we will verify which of them is true.

A ) Electric charge is conserved

According to the conservation of charge, an electric charge can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

B ) A positive charge and negative charge attract each other

According to the properties of charges, the opposite charges attract each other and similar charges repel each other

Therefore this statement is TRUE

C) Two positive charges attract each other.

Using the previous law, we can observe that this statement is false, because equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is FALSE.

D ) Two negative charges repel each other.

Using the same principle as the two previous statements, two equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is TRUE

E) Electric charge is quantized.

According to the quantization of charge, charges can take values only in integral multiples of a fundamental unit of charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

F) A neutral object contains no charge.

A neutral object contains equal amount of negative and positive charge. Thus, in totality a neutral object contains no charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 3.00 m/s, and

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

A) 0.9844 s

B) x2 = 0.4587 m

C) v = 6.657 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Height of take off point above pool; x1 = 1.8 m

Initial take off velocity; u = 3 m/s

Final velocity at highest point before free fall; v = 0 m/s

B) To find the highest point above the board her feet reaches means the distance from take off to the top of the motion just before free fall.

Thus, we will be using equation of motion and we have;

v² = u² + 2gs

Now, let s = x2 which will be the distance between take off and the top before free fall.

So;

v² = u² + 2g(x2)

Now,since the motion is against gravity, g will be negative.

Thus;

v² = u² + 2(-9.81)(x2)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

0² = 3² - (19.62x2)

19.62(x2) = 9

x2 = 9/19.62

x2 = 0.4587 m

A) We want to find how long her feet is in air.. It means we want to find out the time to get to a distance of x1 and also the time to achieve the distance (x1 + x2) on free-fall.

Thus, using equation of motion;

v = u + gt

Again, g = -9.81

Thus;

0 = 3 - 9.81t1

9.81t1 = 3

t1 = 3/9.81

t1 = 0.3058 s

Now, for the time taken to achieve the distance (x1 + x2) on free-fall, we will use the formula;

s = ut + ½gt²

Where s = (x1 + x2) = 1.8 + 0.4587 = 2.2587 m

And now, u = 0 m/s because the start of the free fall is from maximum height with velocity of 0 m/s. Again, g = - 9.81 m/s²

Thus;

2.2587 = 0 - ½(-9.81)(t2)²

2.2587 = 4.905(t2)²

(t2)² = 2.2587/4.905

(t2)² = 0.4605

t2 = √0.4605

t2 = 0.6786 s

Thus, total time of feet in air = t1 + t2 = 0.3058 + 0.6786 = 0.9844 s

C) Velocity when feet hit the water would be given by;

v = u + gt

Where u = 0 m/s and t = t2 = 0.6786

Since it's in direction of gravity, g = 9.81 m/s

v = 0 + (0.6786 × 9.81)

v = 6.657 m/s

The distance between Earth and Mars is 225 million km. When converted using the conversion factor 1 AU = 1.5 × 108 km, the dista

noname [10]

To convert km to AU, we divide 225,000,000 km by the factor of 1.5 x 10^8 = 150,000,000 km. This gives us 225,000,000 / 150,000,000 = 1.5 AU. Therefore, the distance between Earth and Mars in AU is 1.5 AU.
The AU is not equivalent to a light-year. A light-year is equivalent to around 9.5 x 10^12 kilometers.

In the nuclear fission process mass is converted into energy. Determine the total mass that must be converted to energy in one y

brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg

2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg

Explanation:

By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have

$E=mc^{2}$

where,

'E' is the energy produced

'm' is the mass consumed

'c' is the velocity of light in free space

Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals

$Energy=Power\times time\\\\\therefore Energy=1\times 10^{9}\times 365\times 24\times 3600\\\\Energy=31.536\times 10^{15}Joules$

Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is

$mass=\frac{Energy}{c^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{9\times 10^{16}}\\\\\therefore mass=0.3504kg$

Part 2)

At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals

$mass|_{30}=\frac{mass|_{100}}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=\frac{0.3504}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=1.168kg$

Which of the following choices is a single-replacement reaction? A. 2K + Br2 2KBr B. 2H2 + O2 2H2O C. Mg + FeO Fe + MgO D. C + 2

Otrada [13]

A single replacement reaction occurs when two different cations switch places to combine with the same anion. One element forms a compound while another element is released from the compound. In a single replacement reaction, or single displacement reaction, a single uncombined element replaces another in a compound.

So you're answer is probably c.
