Temperature is the difference of hot or cold. It is measured by a thermometer.

I am thinking that maybe the problem is not with the calibration. It might be that the buffered solution is already expired since at this point the solution is already not stable and will give a different pH reading than what is expected.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 60 m building and lands 100 m from the base of the building. How long is the bal

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds

The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s

The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward

The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal

Explanation:

A ball is thrown horizontally

That means the vertical component of the initial velocity $u_{y}=0$

The initial velocity is the horizontal component $u_{x}$

The ball is thrown from the top of a 60 m

That means the vertical displacement component y = 60 m

→ y = $u_{y}$ t + $\frac{1}{2}$ gt²

where g is the acceleration of gravity and t is the time

y = -60 m , g = -9.8 m/s² , $u_{y}=0$

Substitute these values in the rule

→ -60 = 0 + $\frac{1}{2}$ (-9.8)t²

→ -60 = -4.9t²

Divide both sides by -4.9

→ 12.2449 = t²

Take √ for both sides

∴ t = 3.5 seconds

* The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds 

The initial velocity is the horizontal component $u_{x}$

The ball lands 100 meter from the base of the building

That means the horizontal displacement x = 100 m

→ x = $u_{x}$ t

→ t = 3.5 s , x = 100 m

Substitute these values in the rule

→ 100 = $u_{x}$ (3.5)

Divide both sides by 3.5

→ $u_{x}$ = 28.57 m/s

The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s

The vertical component of the final velocity is $v_{y}$

→ $v_{y}$ = $u_{y}$ + gt

→ $u_{y}$ = 0 , g = -9.8 m/s² , t = 3.5 s

Substitute these values in the rule

→ $v_{y}$ = 0 + (-9.8)(3.5)

→ $v_{y}$ = -34.3 m/s

The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward

The final velocity v is the resultant vector of $v_{x}$ and $v_{y}$

→ Its magnetude is $v=\sqrt{(v_{x})^{2}+(v_{y})^{2}}$

→ Its direction $tan^{-1}\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}$

→ $v_{y}$ = 28.6 , $v_{y}$ = -34.3

Substitute this values in the rules above

→ $v=\sqrt{(28.6)^{2}+(-34.3)^{2}}=44.66$

→ Its direction $tan^{-1}\frac{-34.3}{28.6}=-50.18$

The negative sign means the direction is below the horizontal

The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal

What is the rock cycle and how does it change the lithosphere?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes the time-consuming transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. As the adjacent diagram illustrates, each of the types of rocks is altered or destroyed when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions. An igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they encounter new environments. The rock cycle is an illustration that explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time. This cyclical aspect makes rock change a geologic cycle and, on planets containing life, a biogeochemical cycle.

Plate movements drive the rock cycle by pushing rocks back into the mantle, where they melt and become magna again. Plate movements also cause the folding, faulting and uplift of the crust that move rocks through the rock cycle.
