The woman was standing on a cliff 30 meters above where she landed. There was a safety fence 4 meters from the cliff edge that w

ould have prevented her from taking a long distance to run and leap off the cliff. She landed 12 meters away from the base of the cliff. Her launch speed was calculated to be 4.86 m/s, meaning that to travel those 12 meters, she had to be traveling at 10.87 miles per hour (or moving faster than a runner at a 5.5 minute mile pace) as she left the cliff. Put all this information together. Why did forensic scientists determine that the woman’s body was thrown instead of concluding that she jumped off the cliff?

Answer:

Forensic scientists determined that the woman’s body was thrown off the cliff because after considering the velocity and angle of the projectile needed in relationship to the cliff she could not have reached those speeds and cleared the safety fence 4m away from the cliff’s edge. She would have been going faster than a 5.5 minute mile pace and she was not an athletic person.

1. Predict whether the energy required to remove an electron from magnesium and potassium would be more or less than that requir
Inga [223]

In both cases less energy is required

But comparetively Mg require more energy than K

Let's see the electron configuration of Both

  • [Mg]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²=[Ne]3s²
  • [K]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹=[Ar]4s¹

K has only one valence electron so very less ionization enthalpy so less energy required

Mg has 2 so more IE hence more energy required

6. A car moving in a straight line at constant speed:
ddd [48]

Answer:

D. has no overall force acting on it.

Explanation:

Why?

Because in a straight line at the constant speed means the car moving in the same velocity, which is not acceleration neither deceleration, and it cannot be on a downhill slope. So the correct answer is

<h3>→ D. has no overall force acting on it.</h3>

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

\lambda_2 = 573.3 nm

Explanation:

As we know that the position of maximum intensity on the screen is given as

y = \frac{N\lambda L}{d}

here we know that

\lambda = wavelength

L = distance of the screen

d = distance between two slits

now we know that the position of 8th maximum intensity is same as that of 9th maximum on the screen

so we have

\frac{N_1\lambda_1 L}{d} = \frac{N_2 \lambda_2 L}{d}

so here we have

8 (645 nm) = 9 \lambda_2

\lambda_2 = 573.3 nm
