An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 5.6 m/s. A child on a bridge, 71 m abo

ve the river, sees the raft in the river below and attempts to drop a small stone onto the raft. The child releases the stone from rest. In order for the stone to hit the raft, what must be the horizontal distance between the raft and the bridge when the child releases the stone?

Answer:

21.28 m

Explanation:

height, h = 71 m

velocity of raft, v = 5.6 m/s

let the time taken by the stone to reach to raft is t.

use second equation of motion for stone

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

u = 0 m/s, h = 71 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

71 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

t = 3.8 s

Horizontal distance traveled by the raft in time t

d = v x t = 5.6 x 3.8 = 21.28 m

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Allison is probably looking at the asteroid.

Explanation:

  • Asteroids are the giant gas balls of inner solar system that are present in the space.
  • Asteroids orbits around the sun in very irregular ans strange path unlike the other planets.
  • This is also the reason why it's called as the minor planets.
  • It could have been comet but if it had been a comets he must have seen the tail but asteroids do not have any tail like structure.

What are the difference between conductor and insulator? ​
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

  • A conductor allows energy e.g. electric charge or heat to pass through it easily. While an insulator does not let electric current or heat to travel through it.
  • Insulators have strong molecular bonds. While molecular bonds are very weak in conductors.
  • Insulators have very low conductivity. While in conductors, it is very high.
  • Insulators have a very high resistance and therefore the electrons are held together very firmly. The conductors, on the other hand, have a very low resistance.
  • Insulators do not have any electric field, neither inside nor on the surface. While in conductors, it is found on the surface and continues to be zero in the inner part of the conductor.

olga_2 [115]

The correct answer is A. Acid rain forms from human activities and lowers the pH of rainwater below 7

Explanation:

The term "acid rain" is used to refer to rainwater with a low pH or a high acidity, this includes rainwater with a pH below 7 (solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic). In terms of formation, acid rain is mainly the result of human activities such as factories or cars that release pollutants into the atmosphere including nitric and sulfuric acids and these alter the natural pH of rain and makes it more acidic. Additionally, acid rain has negative consequences such as the death of fishes and other organisms in lakes, rivers, etc. because the acidity is toxic to many organisms. Thus, acid rain is the result of human activities and it lowers the pH of rain (Option A).
