Answer:

Horizontal component of velocity is 8.81 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

An athlete hurls a discus with a velocity of, v = 14 m/s  

Angle with the ground, θ = 51°

We have to find the horizontal component of discus's velocity. The horizontal component of velocity is given by :

v_x=v\ cos\ \theta

v_x=14\ m/s\times \ cos(51)

v_x=8.81\ m/s

Hence, the horizontal component of discus's velocity is 8.81 m/s.

shirley knott, a 65kg astronaut holds a 12kg tank of oxygen, which she throws backwards at 2.2m/s. with what speed does she move
babymother [125]

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of momentum and speed.

She moves with a speed of "0.41 m/s".

Applying the law of conservation of momentum to this situation, we get:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = mass of shirley = 65 kg

m₂ = mass of tank = 12 kg

u₁ = initial speed of shirley = 0 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of tank = 0 m/s

v₁ = final speed of shirley = ?

v₂ = final speed of tank = 2.2 m/s

Therefore,

(65\ kg)(0\ m/s)+(12\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(65\ kg)(v_1)+(12\ kg)(2.2\ m/s)\\\\v_1=\frac{-26.4\ kg.m/s}{65\ kg}\\\\v_1=-0.41\ m/s

negative sign shows the opposite direction.

What are the three rules for writing the electron configuration of elements
astraxan [27]

<em></em>

Answer:

<u><em>The aufbau principle</em></u>

<u />

<u><em>The Pauli exclusion principle</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity</em></u>

Explanation:

<u><em>The aufbau principle:</em></u>

<em></em>

The fundamental electronic configuration is achieved by placing the electrons one by one in the different orbitals available for the atom, which are arranged in increasing order of energy.

<u><em>The Pauli exclusion principle:</em></u>

<em></em>

Two electrons of the same atom cannot have their four equal quantum numbers.  Because each orbital is defined by the quantum numbers n, l, and m, there are only two possibilities ms = -1/2 and ms = +1/2, which physically reflects that each orbital can contain a maximum of two electrons, having opposite spins

<u><em>Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:</em></u>

This rule says that when there are several electrons occupying degenerate orbitals, of equal energy, they will do so in different orbitals and with parallel spins, whenever this is possible.  Because electrons repel each other, the minimum energy configuration is one that has electrons as far away as possible from each other, and that is why they are distributed separately before two electrons occupy  the same orbital.

To persuade my audience that the use of mobile communication devices by drivers—even when they are hands-free—is contributing to
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

specific purpose statement      

Explanation:

It is a specific purpose statement made for a persuasive speech on the question of fact.

A specific purpose statement helps to build on the general purpose (that is to inform) and to make it more specific to the audience. So if the first speech is an informative speech, our general purpose is to inform our audience about a very specific realm of knowledge.

A specific purpose statement is given to audience to persuade on specific information.

Light is shining perpendicularly on the surface of the earth with an intensity of 680 W/m^2. Assuming that all the photons in th
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

3.066×10^21  photons/(s.m^2)

Explanation:

The power per area is:

Power/A = (# of photons /t /A)×(energy / photon)

E/photons = h×c/(λ)

photons /t /A = (Power/A)×λ /(h×c)  

photons /t /A = (P/A)×λ/(hc)

photons /t /A = (680)×(678×10^-9)/(6.63×10^-34)×(3×10^-8)

                      = 3.066×10^21

Therefore, the number of photons per second per square meter 3.066×10^21  photons/(s.m^2).
