Answer:

Time, t = 0.87 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the object, u = 4.3 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction between horizontal tabletop and the object is 0.5

We need to find the time taken by the object for the object to come to rest i.e. final velocity will be 0.

Using first equation of motion to find it as :

$v=u+at$

a is the acceleration, here, $a=\mu g$

$0=u+\mu gt$

$t=\dfrac{u}{\mu g}\\\\t=\dfrac{4.3}{0.5\times 9.8}\\\\t=0.87\ s$

So, the time taken by the object to come at rest is 0.87 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

A cylindrical barrel is completely full of water and sealed at the top except for a narrow tube extending vertically through the

astraxan [27]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to pressure as a unit that measures the force applied in a specific area as well as pressure as a measurement of the density of the liquid to which it is subjected, its depth and the respective gravity.

The two definitions of pressure can be enclosed under the following equations

$P = \frac{F}{A}$

Where

F= Force

A = Area

$P = \rho gh$

Where,

$\rho =$ Density

g = Gravity

h = Height

Our values are given as,

$d = 0.8m \rightarrow r = 0.4m$

$A = \pi r^2 = \pi * 0.4^2 = 0.503m^2$

If we make a comparison between the lid and the tube, the diameter of the tube becomes negligible.

Matching the two previous expressions we have to

$\frac{F}{A} = \rho g h$

Re-arrange to find h

$h = \frac{F}{A\rho g}$

$h = \frac{390}{(0.503)(1000)(9.8)}$

$h = 0.079m$

$h = 7.9cm$

Therefore the height of water in the tube is 7.9cm

Describe the process of copper-plating. What occurs at the molecular level?

BabaBlast [244]

Copper plating is the process of plating a layer of copper electrolytically on the surface of an item. ... As the copper ions dissolve into the water, they form a coordination complex with salts already present. The copper then physically flows to the item, where it is reduced to the metallic state by gaining electrons.

All of the following activities produce quantitative data exept

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The answer to your question are A and C

Explanation:

Quantitative data are quantities, something that we get after measuring something.

A. Measuring the rate of gas production from a chemical. This example is a quantitative measure, because we are measuring the rate.

B. Describing the clarity of water in a sample If we are describing something, means that we are not measuring anything, so this is not a quantitative measure.

C. Calculating the energy released from an electrochemical reaction If we are not measuring but we are using the data somebody else got to calculate energy, them this is a quantitative data.

A container is filled to a depth of 0.9490.949m with water. On top of the water floats a 1.971.97m-thick layer of oil with densi

Paha777 [63]

Answer:124.14 KPa

Explanation:

Given

Layer of water is 0.949 m thick

Layer of oil is 1.971 m thick with density

$\rho _{o}=700 kg/m^3$

density of water $\rho _{w}=1000 kg/m^3$

suppose Atmospheric Pressure be 101.325 KPa

Absolute Pressure at bottom is =Pressure at top +Pressure due to Oil and water

$P_{abs}=101.325\times 10^3+\rho _{o}\cdot g\cdot 1.971+\rho _{w}\cdot g\cdot 0.949$

$P_{abs}=101.325\times 10^3+700\times 9.8\times 1.971+1000\times 9.8\times 0.949$

$P_{abs}=101.325+13.521+9.3002\ KPa$

$P_{abs}=124.14 KPa$
