A ball of mass 0.2 kg is dropped from a height of 10 m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground?

(Assume there is no air resistance.) Acceleration due to gravity is g 9.8 m/s2.
(PLEASE HELP NEED ANSWERS ASAP)

Answer:

19.6 J  

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the ball is dropped, it has a <em>potential energy </em>

PE = mgh

PE = 0.2 × 10 × 9.8

PE = 19.6 J

Just before the ball hits the ground, the potential energy has been converted into kinetic (<em>mechanical</em>) energy.

KE = 19.6 J

13) Find the mass, in grams, of 5.75 liters of N2.
faltersainse [42]
Molecular weight of N2
gram Atomic weight of N is 14 g.
gram Molecular weight = 14 g×2
= 28 g
Liter concepts
1 liter of gas always occupies 1 gram molecular weight .
Application of the concept
5.75 liter gives 0.257g


1 mole will occupy 28 g

0.257 will occupy 28 g × 0.257
= 7.196 g

The mass of the gas is 7.196 g.

Hope it helps you

After 11.5 days, 12.5% of a sample of radon-222 that originally weighed 42g remains. What is the half-life of this isotope?
Bond [772]
Half-life is defined as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value.  The equation to describe the decay is
Nt=N0(1/2) ^{t/t(1/2)}  where N0 is the initial quantity, Nt is the remaining quantity after time t, t1/2 is the half-time.  So work out the equation, t1/2 = t (-ln2)/ln(Nt/N0) = 11.5*(-ln2)/ln(12.5/100) = 3.83 days

Compare What do infrared technologies, fiber optic
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

ptic fiber communication and satellite communication are the leading technologies which are revolutionizing the world of telecommunications. Both technologies have their advantages and limitations which make them suitable for certain type of applications. This article will provide an overview of optic fiber and satellite communication technologies and present a comparison of the features and related issues.

Optic Fiber Communication

Optic Fiber communication transmits information by sending pulses of light (using laser) through an optic fiber. The low signal loss in optic fibers and high data rate of transmission systems, allow signals with high data rates (exceeding several Gbps) to travel over long distances (more than 100 km) without a need of repeater or amplifier. Moreover, using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) allows a single fiber to carry multiple signals (upto 10 different signals) of multi-Gbps transmissions. Optic Fiber communication offers extremely high bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference, non-existent delays and immunity from interception by external means. In the 1980s and 1990s, the continents were linked together using undersea optic fiber bringing about a paradigm shift in the global telecommunications.

These advancements in optic fiber communication has resulted in decrease of satellite communications for several types of communications. For instance, transmission between fixed locations or point-to-point communications, where large bandwidths are required (such as transoceanic telephone systems) are made through optic fiber instead of using satellite communication. Optic Fiber communication is also used to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, LAN (Gigabit LAN) and cable television signals.

Satellite Communication

Satellite communications use artificial satellites as relays between a transmitter and a receiver at different locations on Earth. Satellite systems allow users to bypass typical carrier offices and to broadcast information to multiple locations. Communications satellites are used for radio, TV, telephone, Internet, military and other applications. There are more than 2,000 satellites around Earth’s orbit, being used for communication by both government and private organizations.

Communication Satellites are LOS (line-of-sight) microwave systems with a repeater. These satellites rotate around the earth with the speed of earth and are known as geostationary satellites. The limitations of antenna size also limits focusing capability making the coverage for a single satellite transmitter very large. This makes satellite communication ideal for TV and radio services as the signal has to flow from a single point to many points in a single direction. The large distance of satellites from the earth (about 22,300 miles) results in delays which adversely effects two-way communication like mobile conversations. Low earth orbit satellites can be used for two-way mobile communication because less power is required to reach those satellites.

Minerals are very useful to us. Which of the following is a false statement? Question options: Pyrite is an ore of gold and is u
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The false statement is :

  • Pyrite is an ore of gold and is used in jewelry making.
  • Cobalt is not used in medicine.

Explanation:

Pyrite is an ore of iron sulfide found on the Earth and in coal, limestone and in many deposits of metallic ores. Due to its luster and pale yellowish color it appears as gold due to which it is also termed as Fool's gold.

It is used in firearms , in production of sulfur dioxide gas, etc.

Cobalt is used as medicine to treat cancer patient. Co-60 is used in treatment of cancer in which gamma rays produced by Co-60 are used  to kill tumor cells in a cancer patient.

Where as talc is used in industries like : paper making, food, paints, plastics etc. Quartz is primary material used to prepare glass and cobalt is used as

4. A student started with a 0.032 g sample of copper which he took through the series of reactions described in this experiment.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Y=48.6\%

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can consider the following chemical reaction for the oxidation of copper which only occurs at high temperatures:

2Cu+O_2\rightarrow 2CuO

In such a way, for 0.032 grams of copper, the following grams of copper (II) oxide (black product) are yielded:

m_{CuO}=0.032gCu*\frac{1molCu}{63.546gCu} *\frac{2molCuO}{2molCu}*\frac{79.546gCuO}{1molCuO}  =0.078gCuO

Therefore, the percent yield is:

Y=\frac{0.038g}{0.078g}*100\%\\ \\Y=48.6\%

Best regards.
