Answer:

Speed, s = 3.95 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that, a rock is thrown 0.8 meters into the air. We have to find the velocity with which it is thrown.

Using conservation of mechanical energy as :

$K_i+P_i=K_f+P_f$

Initial potential energy at the ground is 0 and at maximum height the final kinetic energy is 0.

So,

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

putting g = 9.8 m/s² and h = 0.8 m

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.8}$

v = 3.95 m/s

Hence, it was thrown with a speed of 3.95 m/s

V=0 m/s, u=?, a = 9.8 m/s² and s = 0.8 m
u²=2×9.8×0.8=15.68
<span>u=3.959 ≈ 3.96 m/s

Which object can electrically polarized

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:Static electricity works because objects which are otherwise "neutral" (in other words, objects with no net charge) can be polarized. An electric field, like one caused by a nearby charged object, can cause the charges inside of a neutral object — the protons and electrons — to move around a tiny bit.

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 70 % that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}$

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}$

t = age of sample = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = $\frac{70}{100}\times 100=70$

$t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}$

$t=2948years$

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.

Function of starch solution

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Starch is a viable indicator in the titration process because it turns deep dark blue when iodine is present in a solution. When starch is heated in water, decomposition occurs and beta-amylose is produced

At 2000°C, the equilibrium constant for the reaction below is Kc = 4.10 ´ 10–4 . If 0.600 moles of NO is placed in a 1.0-L react

erastova [34]

Answer:

At equilibrium, the concentration of $N_{2 (g)}$ is going to be 0.30M

Explanation:

We first need the reaction.

With the information given we can assume that is:

$N_{2 (g)}$ + $O_{2 (g)}$ ⇄ 2 $NO_{(g)}$

If there is placed 0.600 moles of NO in a 1.0-L vessel, we have a initial concentration of 0.60 M NO; and no $N_{2 (g)}$ nor $O_{2 (g)}$ present. Immediately, $N_{2 (g)}$ and $O_{2 (g)}$ are going to be produced until equilibrium is reached.

By the ICE (initial, change, equilibrium) analysis:

I: [ $N_{2 (g)}$ ]=0 ; [ $O_{2 (g)}$ ]= 0 ; [ $NO_{(g)}$ ]=0.60M

C: [ $N_{2 (g)}$ ]=+x ; [ $O_{2 (g)}$ ]= +x ; [ $NO_{(g)}$ ]=-2x

E: [ $N_{2 (g)}$ ]=0+x ; [ $O_{2 (g)}$ ]= 0+x ; [ $NO_{(g)}$ ]=0.60-2x

Now we can use the constant information:

$K_{c}=\frac{[products]^{stoichiometric coefficient} }{[reactants]^{stoichiometric coefficient} }$
