For years, the tallest tower in the United States was the Phoenix Shot Tower in Baltimore, Maryland. The shot tower was used fro

m 1828 to1892 to make lead shot for pistols and rifles and molded shot for cannons and other instruments of warfare. Molten lead was dropped from the top of the 234-foot (71.3 meter) tall tower into a vat of water. During its free fall, the lead would form a perfectly spherical droplet and solidify. Determine the time of fall and the speed of a lead shot upon hitting the water at the bottom.

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) t = 3.81 s

b) vf =  37.4 m/s

Explanation:

Data

height = 71.3 m = 234 feet

t = 0 m/s

vf = ?

vo = 0 m/s

Formula

h = vot + 1/2gt²

vf = vo + gt

Process

a)

               h = vot + 1/2gt²

             71.3 = 0t + 1/2(9.81)t²

             2(71.3) = 9,81t²

              t² = 2(71.3)/9.81

              t² = 14.53

              t = 3.81 s

b)

      vf = 0 + (9.81)(3.81)

      vf = 37.4 m/s

<span>The middle life crisis occurs for men at age of 39 and for women at age of 44. At this age, people start realizing that they are getting older and experience some physical changes which seem distressful for them.</span>

<span> It affects the sense of accomplishment and progress in career. Due to a midlife crisis, people start engaging in activities to cope with the reality such as wearing clothes that are fashionable, dating someone etc. Yes, I think I will also go through one because it happens with everyone in this age.  It can be avoided by accepting the fact that these changes are reality and everyone have to face it one day.</span>

Which molecule will undergo only london dispersion forces when interacting with other molecules of the same kind?
vfiekz [6]

Explanation:

London dispersion forces will form between non-polar molecules(polar ) that are symmetrical  like O₂, H₂, Cl₂ and noble gases.

  • The attraction here is because non-polar molecules becomes polar due to the constant motion of its electrons.
  • This lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant.
  • A temporary  dipole or instantaneous dipole forms.
  • The temporary dipole can induce neighboring molecules to be distorted and forms dipoles as well.
  • This forms london dispersion forces.

A 1.0-kg ball is attached to the end of a 2.5-m string to form a pendulum. This pendulum is released from rest with the string h
hram777 [196]

Answer:

v_{2}=3.5 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy we have:

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=mgh

Let's solve it for v:

v=\sqrt{2gh}

So the speed at the lowest point is v=7 m/s

Now, using the conservation of momentum we have:

m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

v_{2}=\frac{1*7}{2}

Therefore the speed of the block after the collision is v_{2}=3.5 m/s

I hope it helps you!

A quantity found by multiplying the force by the distance moved
Andrej [43]
The quantity that is calculated from the product of the force and the distance traveled due to the force is called work.  It has SI units of Joules (J) which is equivalent to Newton-meter (N-m). It is the energy that happens when an object is being moved by an external force.
