A penny is dropped from the top of a tower. It hits the ground below after 2.5 s. How tall was the tower?
pychu [463]

Answer:

C. 30.6m

Explanation:

To find the height of the tower, we are to use Newtons law of motion to solve this problem. Since the penny is falling from the top of the tower, it is acted by the acceleration due to gravity. The formula to be used is:

H=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where H is the height of the tower, t is the time taken to hit the ground, u is the initial velocity and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given that, t = 2.5 s, g =9.8 m/s², u = 0 m/s (at the top of tower)

H=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\H=0(2.5)+ \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2.5)^2\\\\H=30.6\ m

Vector A → has magnitude 8.78 m at 37.0 ∘ from the + x axis. Vector B → has magnitude 8.26 m at 135.0 ∘ from the + x axis. Vecto
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

R = (- 3.72î + 8.29j)

Magnitude of R = 9.09 m

Explanation:

Let î and j represent unit vectors along the x and y axis respectively.

Vector A --> magnitude 8.78 m, direction 37.0° from the +x-axis

Let the x and y components of this vector be Aₓ and Aᵧ

A = (Aₓî + Aᵧj) m

The components given magnitude and direction from the +x-axis are calculated as

Aₓ = A cos θ and Aᵧ = A sin θ

Aₓ = (8.78 cos 37°) = 7.01 m

Aᵧ = (8.78 sin 37°) = 5.28 m

A = (7.01î + 5.28j) m

Vector B has magnitude 8.26 m and direction 135° from the +x-axis

B = (Bₓî + Bᵧj) m

Bₓ = (8.26 cos 135°) = - 5.84 m

Bᵧ = (8.26 sin 135°) = 5.84 m

B = (-5.84î + 5.84j) m

Vector C has magnitude 5.65 m and direction 210° from the +x-axis

C = (Cₓî + Cᵧj) m

Cₓ = (5.65 cos 210°) = - 4.89 m

Cᵧ = (5.65 sin 210°) = - 2.83 m

C = (- 4.89î - 2.83j) m

The resultant force is a vector sum of all the forces. Let the resultant force be R

R = (Rₓî + Rᵧj) m

R = A + B + C = (7.01î + 5.28j) + (-5.84î + 5.84j) + (- 4.89î - 2.83j)

Summing the î and j components seperately,

R = (- 3.72î + 8.29j) m

To get its magnitude,

Magnitude of R = √(Rₓ² + Rᵧ²) = √((-3.72)² + (8.29)²) = 9.09 m

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 0. 158 kg. If 2,510. 0 J of heat is required to heat the substance from 32. 0°C
guapka [62]

The specific heat of the unknown substance with a mass of 0.158kg is 0.5478 J/g°C

HOW TO CALCULATE SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY:

The specific heat capacity of a substance can be calculated using the following formula:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

  • Q = quantity of heat absorbed (J)
  • c = specific heat capacity (4.18 J/g°C)
  • m = mass of substance
  • ∆T = change in temperature (°C)

According to this question, 2,510.0 J of heat is required to heat the 0.158kg substance from 32.0°C to 61.0°C. The specific heat capacity can be calculated:

2510 = 158 × c × (61°C - 32°C)

2510 = 4582c

c = 2510 ÷ 4582

c = 0.5478 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the unknown substance that has a mass of 0.158 kg is 0.5478 J/g°C.

The density of sodium is 968 g/cm3. Suppose you need 250 gm of sodium for an experiment. Which volume of sodium do you need?
Masja [62]
The formula for the density of a substance expressed in mass and volume is rho = mass/volume or p = m/v. Rearranging the formula to isolate volume gives the formula v = m/p. To solve for the problem given, this formula must be used. This gives a solution of:

v = m/p = 250 g/ 968 g/cm^3 = 0.258 cm^3 of sodium
