A student throws a set of keys vertically upward to his fraternity brother, who is in a window 4.35 m above. The brother's outst

retched hand catches the keys 1.20 s later. (Take upward as the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) With what initial velocity were the keys thrown? (b) What was the velocity of the keys just before they were caught?

Answer:9.51 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Window is 4.35 m above ground

time taken=1.2 s

Let u be the initial velocity of keys

s=ut+\frac{gt^2}{2}

where s=distance traveled

u=initial velocity

t=time taken

g=acceleration due to gravity

4.35=u\times 1.2+\frac{(-9.8)1.2^2}{2}

u=\frac{11.4132}{1.2}=9.511 m/s

(b)velocity of keys just before they were caught

v=u+at

v=9.511-9.8\times 1.2

v=-2.26 m/s

Here negative sign indicates downward motion of keys

Suppose that you can throw a projectile at a large enough v0 so that it can hit a target a distance R downrange. Given that you
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Theta1 = 12° and theta2 = 168°

The solution procedure can be found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

The Range is the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile. This diatance is given mathematically by Vo cos(theta) t. Where t is the total time of flight of the projectile in air. It is the time taken for the projectile to go from starting point to finish point. This solution assumes the projectile finishes uts motion on the same horizontal level as the starting point and as a result the vertical displacement is zero (no change in height).

In the solution as can be found below, the expression to calculate the range for any launch angle theta was first derived and then the required angles calculated from the equation by substituting the values of the the given quantities.

two negative charges that are both -3.0 C push each other apart with a force of 19.2 N how far apart are the charges
Hoochie [10]
The electrostatic force between two charges q1 and q2 is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where k_e =8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant and r is the distance between the two charges.

If we use F=19.2 N and q1=q2=-3.0 C, we can find the value of r, the  distance between the two charges by re-arranging the previous formula:
r= \sqrt{k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{F} }= \sqrt{ 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} \frac{(-3.0C)^2}{19.2 N} } =6.49 \cdot 10^4 m=64.9 km

What is an element that needs to lose or gain<br> 4 valence electrons in order to become<br> stable?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Elements in Group 14 could lose four, or gain four electrons to achieve a noble gas structure. In fact, if they are going to form ions, Group 14 elements form positive ions. Carbon and silicon form covalent bonds. Carbon's millions of organic compounds are all based on shared electrons in covalent bonds.

Can someone please help me with these. I don't understand any of it.

1. electrical energy: electrical energy that is caused by moving electrons

2. coolant: a mixture of antifreeze and water that removes excess heat from an internal engine

3. electric compressor: a device that <span>acts as a pump, circulating refrigerant throughout the refrigerator 

4. the inside of the fridge and the food becomes colder

5. the coolants becomes a hot, high-pressure gas 

6. as coolant transfers thermal energy to the air outside, it turns back into a liquid
