Answer:

a)It takes the bolt 0.25 s to pass the last 11% of the fall.

b)When the bolt begins to fall the last 11% of the fall its velocity is -41.2 m/s.

c)The velocity of the bolt just before it reaches the ground is -43.6 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) Let´s calculate how much distance it is the last 11% of the fall:

96 m · 0.11 = 10.56 m

So, we have to find how much time it takes the bolt to pass from a height of 10.56 m to the ground.

First, let´s calculate how much time it takes the bolt to reach a height of 10.56 m. For that we can use this equation:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

h = height of the bolt at a time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

If we consider the ground as the origin of the frame of reference, then h0 = 96 m. Since the bolt is dropped, the initial velocity is zero (v0 = 0). Then, the equation gets reduce to this:

h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find at which time h = 10.56 m.

10.56 m = 96 m - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

Solving for t:

√(-2 · (10.56 m - 96 m) / 9.8 m/s²) = t

t = 4.2 s

Now that we have the time at which the bolt is located at 10.56 m above the ground, we can calculate the velocity of the bolt at that time.

The equation of velocity (v) of the bolt is the following:

v = v0 + g · t

at t = 4.2 s.

v = 0 - 9.8 m/s² · 4.2 s

v = -41.2 m/s

<u>When the bolt begins to fall the last 11% of the fall its velocity is -41.2 m/s.</u>

Now, we can calculate how much time it takes to fall the last 10.56 m.

The initial velocity of the bolt will be the velocity at h = 10.56 m. The initial height will be 10.56 m.

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find the time at which h = 0 (the bolt hits the ground)

0 = 10.56 m - 41.2 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

t = 0.25 s (the other solution of the quadratic equation is negative and thus discarded).

<u>It takes the bolt 0.25 s to pass the last 11% of the fall.</u>

Now, let´s calculate the velocity of the bolt when it reaches the ground:

v = v0 + g · t

v = -41.2 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.25 s

v = -43.6 m/s

<u>The velocity of the bolt just before it reaches the bolt is -43.6 m/s</u>

Ditto sound waves espace room answers please I need this urgently ​
lord [1]

The actual question should be did the sound waves escape room?

Yes they can escape the room

  • Sound always needs a medium to travel through
  • If you close the room form all where that even air can't go outside you will be able to hear no sound coming from room .

Predict which molecule will show a similar relationship between its heat of fusion and its heat vaporization that water does
BaLLatris [955]

Question:

A) C6H6

B) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2COH6

C) NaCl

D) NH3

Answer:

The correct option is;

A) C₆H₆

Explanation:

Heat of fusion = 6.02 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =40.8 kJ/mol

Here, we analyze each of the options as follows

A) C₆H₆

Benzene has a melting point of 5.5° C and a boiling point of

80.1 ° C similar to water

Heat of fusion = 9.92 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =30.8kJ/mol

B) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂COH₆

The above compound is more likely solid

C) NaCl solid

D) NH₃ melting point = -77.73 °C boiling point =  -33.34 °C

Of the above, the compounds the one  that closely resembles water is C₆H₆
