<h2>After 26.28 seconds projectile returns 26.28 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

Initial velocity = 450 ft/s = 137.16 m/s

Angle, θ = 70°

Consider the vertical motion of projectile,

When the projectile return to the ground we have

Displacement, s = 0 m

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 137.16 x sin70 = 128.89 m/s

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = ut + 0.5 at²

0 = 128.89 x t + 0.5 x (-9.81) x t²

t² - 26.28 t = 0

t ( t- 26.28) = 0

t = 0 s or t = 26.28 s

After 26.28 seconds projectile returns 26.28 seconds.

What are the products of the double-replacement reaction between potassium bromide and silver nitrate? Name the resulting compou

timofeeve [1]

Explanation:

A double replacement reaction is a reaction in which two different compounds are mixed together and both their cations and anions get exchanged with each other respectively.

When potassium bromide reacts with silver nitrate then it results in the formation of potassium nitrate and silver bromide.

The chemical reaction equation is as follows.

$KBr + AgNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{3} + AgBr$

Practical steam engines utilize 450ºC steam, which is later exhausted at 270ºC.

Naily [24]

(a) 0.249 (24.9 %)

The maximum efficiency of a heat engine is given by

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$

where

Tc is the low-temperature reservoir

Th is the high-temperature reservoir

For the engine in this problem,

$T_C = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K$

$T_H = 450^{\circ}C+273=723 K$

Therefore the maximum efficiency is

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{543}{723}=0.249$

(b-c) 0.221 (22.1 %)

The second steam engine operates using the exhaust of the first. So we have:

$T_H = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K$ is the high-temperature reservoir

$T_C = 150^{\circ}C+273=423 K$ is the low-temperature reservoir

If we apply again the formula of the efficiency

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$

The maximum efficiency of the second engine is

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{423}{543}=0.221$

A proton and an electron are placed in an electric field. Which undergoes the greater acceleration?

iren2701 [21]

Newton's 2nd law:

Fnet = ma

Fnet is the net force acting on an object, m is the object's mass, and a is the acceleration.

The electric force on a charged object is given by

Fe = Eq

Fe is the electric force, E is the electric field at the point where the object is, and q is the object's charge.

We can assume, if the only force acting on the proton and electron is the electric force due to the electric field, that for both particles, Fnet = Fe

Fe = Eq

Eq = ma

a = Eq/m

We will also assume that the electric field acting on the proton and electron are the same. The proton and electron also have the same magnitude of charge (1.6×10⁻¹⁹C). What makes the difference in their acceleration is their masses. A quick Google search will provide the following values:

mass of proton = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg

mass of electron = 9.11×10⁻³¹kg

The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, so the electron will experience a greater acceleration than the proton.
