Answer: height = 60.5 m

Explanation:

given that the

Initial velocity U = 18.5 m/s

Range = 38.9 m

Let us use second equation of motion under gravity

S = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Where S = range R

Since the motion is horizontal, g = 0

The equation is reduced to:

R = Ut

Make t the subject of formula

t = R/U

Substitute range R and U into the formula

t = 38.9/ 18.5

t = 2.1 s

To calculate the vertical height, we will consider g = 9.81 m/s^2 by using the same second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Substitute U, t and g into the formula

h = (18.5 × 2.1) + 1/2 × 9.8 × 2.1^2

h = 38.9 + 21.609

h = 60.51 m

The building is 60.51 metres tall.

This technique allowed multiple peoples DNA to be compared to look for
Lady_Fox [76]

DNA sequencing is the technique which allows multiple peoples DNA to be compared to look for similarities and differences in order to solve crime and is denoted as option C.

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

This is referred to as the deoxyribonucleic acid and contains the genetic components of organisms and is also located in the nucleus. On the other hand, DNA sequencing refers to the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence.

Each organisms has a unique DNA sequence which is why it is used to identify individuals through the use of bodily fluids such as saliva, blood etc.

It is used to compare the similarities and differences in order to solve crime thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

Suppose of methane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly and a temperature of . Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas
Licemer1 [7]

There are supposed to be numbers in these places:

" _____ of methane"

" ... pressure of exactly _____ "

" ... temperature of _____ "

I've seen a lot of questions with missing numbers before, but I think this is the first time I ever saw a question where even the number of significant digits to round the answer to is missing.

"Round your answer to _____ significant digits."

Which best contrasts Newton's and Einstein's ideas?
Len [333]

Answer:

Newton believed that mass tells gravity how much force to exert. Einstein believed that mass tells space-time how to curve.

Explanation:

Isaac Newton believed that bodies on earth had a force of gravity pulling them down as a result of their masses.

Albert Einstein believed that the bodies were not pulled down but were moving around in a circular sphere/manner.

This confirms Newton believing that mass tells gravity how much force to exert and Einstein believing that mass tells space-time how to curve.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 21.8 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 101 m from the base
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

t=2.10 s

u= 47.40 m/s

Explanation:

given that

h= 21.8 m

x= 101 m

g=9.8 m/s²

Lets take horizontal speed of  ball = u m/s

The vertical speed of the car at initial condition is zero ( v= 0).

We know that

h=vt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

v= 0 m/s

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

now by putting the values

21.8 = 1/2 x 9.8 x t²

t=2.10 s

This is time when ball was in motion.

Now in horizontal direction

x = u .t

101 = u x 2.1

u= 47.40 m/s

Heptane is always composed of 84.0% carbon and 16.0% hydrogen. This illustrates the law of multiple proportions. conservation of
BigorU [14]

Heptane is always composed of 84.0% carbon and 16.0% hydrogen. This illustrates the "law of definite proportions".

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Proust's law states that every chemical compound used to made up of element constituents with constant proportions in terms of its mass and also independent from its sources and synthesis method. In 1779, Joseph Proust gave other names to the Proust's law as, the law of composition or definite proportions or constant compositions.

This can understood from given example like: Oxygen is composed of 8/9 of the mass of any sample of pure water while the hydrogen fills up the remaining 1/9 of the mass. The basis of stoichiometry is structured with the law of multiple proportions along the law of definite proportions.
