Answer:

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground or moving down

Explanation:

Vf² - Vo² = 2gS

where

Vf = velocity of clay as it hits the ground

Vo = initial velocity of clay = 0

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (constant)

S = distance travelled by clay = 15 m

Substituting appropriate values,

Vf² - 0 = 2(9.8)(15)  

Vf = 17.15 m/sec.

Formula to use is,  

V - Vf = aT

where

V = velocity of clay when it stops = 0

Vf = 17.15 m/sec (as determined above)

a = acceleration

T = 20 ms  

Put the values to find acceleration

a=(V-Vf)/T

a=(0-17.15)/20

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground

Radiation transfers thermal energy through_________. Which accurately complete the statement waves direct contact of particles i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

waves

Explanation:

There are three major ways in which heat or thermal energy is transferred namely: conduction, convection and radiation. Please find the description of each below;

- Conduction is the method of heat transfer which involves a physical contact between the substances involved.

- Convection, on the contrary, occurs via a liquid medium

- RADIATION is a method of heat transfer which involves neither physical contact or liquid medium (matter) but occurs through WAVES e.g electromagnetic waves. For example, the sun transfers heat to the Earth via RADIATION.

Two 4.3546 cm x 4.3546 cm square aluminum electrodes, spaced 0.6408 mm apart are connected to a 73.68 V battery. What is the cap
Helen [10]

Answer:

Capacitance, C = 26.1 picofarad

Explanation:

It is given that,

Side of square, x = 4.3546 cm = 0.043546 m

Distance between electrodes, d = 0.6408 mm = 0.0006408 m

Voltage, V = 73.68 V

Capacitance of parallel plates is given by :

C=\dfrac{\epsilon_oA}{d}

C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times (0.043546)^2}{0.0006408}

C=2.61\times 10^{-11}\ F

or

C = 26.1 picofarad

So, the capacitance of the capacitor is 26.1 picofarad. Hence, this is the required solution.

8090 [49]

Answer:

For the First answer I cant answer it But I can help you :  

The solid has constituent particles tightly packed and the lattice vibrations are carried out by them in their fixed position however oscillations take place about their mean position. These vibrations are increased as soon as there is increase in the temperature which eventually leads to the more chaotic motion of the constituents. At a fixed critical point of temperature, the bonds are broken and the constituent particles are spaced apart changing their phase into liquid. When more temperature is increased by gaining heat energy then the liquid changes into gas where the motion of constituent particles moving freely is dominant.
