Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

Electrolytes are any substances that dissociate into charged particles called ions when dissolved in water. The positively charged ions called cations and the negatively charged ions called anions move toward the negative and positive terminals (cathode and anode) of an electric circuit.

When a substance dissolved in water completely dissociates into ions, it is called a strong electrolyte. The aqueous solutions containing strong electrolytes conduct electricity very well and the examples include strong acids and soluble ionic compounds such as barium chloride, sodium hydroxide, etc.  

When a substance dissolved in water does not completely dissociate into ions, it is called a weak electrolyte. Since the aqueous solutions containing weak electrolytes have relatively few ions, their electrical conductivity is very low compared to the solutions containing strong electrolytes. Examples of weak electrolytes include weak acids and bases like acetic acid, ammonia, etc.

When a substance does not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, it is called a nonelectrolyte. Since the aqueous solutions containing nonelectrolytes do not contain any ions, such solutions do not conduct electricity. Examples of nonelectrolytes are ethanol, aldehydes, glucose, ketones, etc.

If a solution contains dissolved ions, it conducts electricity and as the ion concentration increases, the conductivity also increases. To determine whether the aqueous solutions of six different substances are strong, weak, or nonelectrolytes, we can test them by applying a voltage to electrodes immersed in the solutions and a light bulb. By observing the brightness of the light bulb or by measuring the flow of electrical current, we can find out which solution contains a strong electrolyte or weak electrolyte, or nonelectrolyte.

If the solution contains a nonelectrolyte, the current flow is nil and the light bulb does not glow. If the solution contains a strong electrolyte, the current flow is very strong and so the brightness of the light bulb is very high. If the solution contains a weak electrolyte, the current flow is much low compared to the strong electrolyte and the light bulb glows, but the brightness is very low.

A cannon is fired straight up into the air. If the cannon ball comes back down to the launch point in 5 seconds, what was the ma
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

30.63 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Maximum height (h) =.?

Next, we shall determine the time taken to reach the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height =.?

T = 2t

5 = 2t

Divide both side by 2

t = 5/2

t = 2.5 s

Thus, the time (t) taken to reach the maximum height is 2.5 s

Finally, we shall determine the maximum height reached by the ball as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height = 2.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =.?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 2.5²

h = 4.9 × 6.25

h = 30.625 ≈ 30.63 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the cannon ball is 30.63 m

Infer the direction of the net force acting on a car as it slows down and turns right.
Kobotan [32]
Net force would be towards the right and back (opposite direction of motion) since it's slowing down (decelerating) and turning right.
