Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

height of the hammer, h = 2 m

acceleration due to gravity of the moon, g = 1.62 m/s²

time taken by the hammer to reach at bottom = ?

initial speed of the hammer, u = 0 m/s

using equation of motion for the time calculation

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

2 = 0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.62\times t^2

    t² = 2.469

     t = 1.57 s ≅ 1.6 s

hence, the time taken by the hammer to reach the bottom is equal to 1.6 s.

The correct answer is option C

To determine the height of a flagpole, Abby throws a ball straight up and times it. She sees that the ball goes by the top of th
Kryger [21]

Answer:

H = 10.05 m

Explanation:

If the stone will reach the top position of flag pole at t = 0.5 s and t = 4.1 s

so here the total time of the motion above the top point of pole is given as

\Delta t = 4.1 - 0.5 = 3.6 s

now we have

\Delta t = \frac{2v}{g}

3.6 = \frac{2v}{9.8}

v = 17.64 m/s

so this is the speed at the top of flag pole

now we have

v_f - v_i = at

17.64 - v_i = (-9.8)(0.5)

v_i = 22.5 m/s

now the height of flag pole is given as

H = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}t

H = \frac{22.5 + 17.64}{2} (0.5)

H = 10.05 m

What is described by the terms body-centered cubic and face-centered cubic?
Montano1993 [528]
In physical chemistry, the terms body-centered cubic  (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) refer to the cubic crystal system of a solid. Each solid is made up simple building blocks called lattice units. There are different layouts of a lattice unit.

It is better understood using 3-D models shown in the picture. A BCC unit cell has one lattice point in the center, together with eight corner atoms which represents 1/8 of an atom. Therefore, there are 1+ 8(1/8) = 2 atoms in a BCC unit cell. On the other hand, a FCC unit cell is composed of half of an atom in each of its faces and 1/8 of an atom in its corners. Therefore, there are (1/2)6 + (1/8)8 = 4 atoms in a FCC unit cell.
