Answer:

t = 0.67 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation.

v_{f} =v_{i} +(a*t)\\where:

Vf = final velocity = 20[m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 10 [m/s]

a = aceleration = 15 [m/s^2]

Now replacing in the equation we have:

20 = 10 + (15*t)

t = (20-10)/15

t = 0.67 [s]

A student throws a baseball horizontally at 25 meters per second from a cliff 45 meters above the level ground. Approximately ho

First, calculate how long the ball is in midair. This will depend only on the vertical displacement; once the ball hits the ground, projectile motion is over. Since the ball is thrown horizontally, it originally has no vertical speed. 
t = time vi = initial vertical speed = 0m/s g = gravity = -9.8m/s^2 y = vertical displacement = -45m 
y = .5gt^2 [Basically, in this equation we see how long it takes the ball to fall 45m] -45m = .5 (-9.8m/s^2) * t^2 t = 3.03 s 
Now we know that the ball is midair for 3.03s. Since horizontal speed is constant we can simply use: 
x = horizontal displacement v = horizontal speed = 25m/s t = time = 3.03s 
x = v*t x = 25m/s * 3.03s = 75.76 m Thus, the ball goes about 75 or 76 m from the base of the cliff.

Which would melt first, germanium with a melting point of 1210 k or gold with a melting point of 1064oc?
iren2701 [21]
<span>Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>

plz i need help fast................a motion along a straight line with a constant increase in velocity is ?​
Monica [59]

Answer:

uniform acceleration

Explanation:

The definition for uniform acceleration is:

if an object travels in  a straight line and its velocity increases or decreases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time, then the acceleration is said to be uniform.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck
