Answer:

27.5 m/s

Explanation:

applying motion equations we can find the answer,

v = u + a*t

Let assume ,

u = starting speed(velocity)

v = Final speed (velocity)

t =  time taken for the motion

a = acceleration

by the time of reaching the highest point subjected to the gravity , the speed should be equal to zero  (only a vertical speed component is there)

for the complete motion it takes 5.5 s. that means to reach the highest point it will take 5.5/2 =2.75 seconds

we consider the motion upwards , in this case the gravitational  acceleration should be negative in upwards (assume g=10 m/s2)

that is,

v = 0 , a = -10ms^{-2}    , t =2.75

v = u + at

0 = u -10*2.75

u = 27.5 ms^{-1}

What are the advantages of using a blue flame instead of a yellow one for heating objects?
seropon [69]
A blue flame is a manifestation that the combustion process is complete where there are no formation of carbon monoxide. On the other hand, a yellow flame represents an in complete combustion. Generally, a blue flame is much hotter as compared to a yellow flame so it heat things up faster. Also, it is a much cleaner flame as it does not produce soot which leaves a black residue on the material being heated.

Which of the following is a vector quantity?
djverab [1.8K]

Vector quantity is defined by direction as well as magnitude both

so now lets discuss all option

1) distance = it is total path length between two points so there is no direction needed in it so it is scalar

2) Speed = it is ratio of total distance covered and total time, so it also do not require any direction.

<em>3)velocity = it is ratio of displacement and time, and displacement is always given with direction so velocity is a vector quantity</em>

4) time = time is the measurement of the interval of two events and we do not require any direction in it so its a scalar quantity.
