Answer:

b. v = 0, a = 9.8 m/s² down.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The acceleration of gravity is always directed to the ground (down) and, near the surface of the earth, has a constant value of 9.8 m/s². Since the answer "b" is the only option with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s² directed downwards, that would solve the exercise. But why is the velocity zero at the highest point?

Let´s take a look at the height function:

h(t) = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 g · t²

Where

h0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity

Notice that the function is a negative parabola if we consider downward as negative (in that case "g" would be negative). Then, the function has a maximum (the highest point) at the vertex of the parabola. At the maximum point, the slope of the tangent line to the function is zero, because the tangent line is horizontal at a maximum point. The slope of the tangent line to the function is the rate of change of height with respect to time, i.e, the velocity. Then, the velocity is zero at the maximum height.

Another way to see it (without calculus):

When the ball is going up, the velocity vector points up and the velocity is positive. After reaching the maximum height, the velocity vector points down and is negative (the ball starts to fall). At the maximum height, the velocity vector changed its direction from positive to negative, then at that point, the velocity vector has to be zero.

a square loop whose sides are long is made with copper wire of radius , assuming resistivity of copper is . if a magnetic field
OLEGan [10]

A square loop whose sides are long is made of copper wire of radius , given the resistivity of copper is . if the magnetic field perpendicular to the loop changes at a constant rate of I = 14.029 mA.

The basic characteristic of a substance that measures how effectively it resists an electric current is called electrical resistance. A material with low resistance is a material that easily conducts electric current. A Greek letter is often used to indicate resistivity. Electrical resistance is a basic property of a material that measures how strongly it resists an electric current. The SI unit for electrical resistance is the ohmmeter.

We use magnetic field as a tool to describe how the magnetic field is distributed in the space around and inside something of a magnetic nature. A material with low resistance is a material that easily conducts electric current. A Greek letter is often used to indicate resistivity. An ohmmeter is a unit of electrical resistance in the SI system.

Explain the differences in structure and use for life between oxygen gas in the atmosphere and ozone.
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is in the form of O2, which means it is made up of molecules containing two oxygen atoms. Ozone, however is O3, which means it is made up of molecules containing three oxygen atoms. O2 is what we breath, and what plants release from photosynthesis. Ozone occurs naturally high in the stratosphere, where it absorbs ultraviolet light, protecting us here on the surface from skin cancer. Ozone can also occur closer to the surface of the earth as a pollutant. It is formed from reactions with O2 and chemicals emitted from factories and cars. It comes in the form of smog.

So in general:

Oxygen (O2): Essential to human life

Ozone (O3) in the stratosphere: essential to protecting life on earth

Ozone (O3) on the surface of the earth: toxic to human life, caused by pollution
