Answer:

a. 0.6 m b. 0.385 m c. 3.6 m/s at 287.78° to the horizontal

Explanation:

a. Using s = ut - 1/2gt² for motion under gravity where s = vertical distance = height of table, u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s, t = time of flight = 0.350 s and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting these these values into s and taking the top of the table as position 0 m, we have.

0 - s = 0t - 1/2gt²

-s = -1/2gt²

s = 1/2gt²

s = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (0.350 s)²

s = 0.6 m

b. Using d = v't where d = horizontal distance from table, v' = horizontal velocity of book = 1.10 m/s and t = time of flight = 0.350 s

d = v't = 1.10 m/s × 0.350 s = 0.385 m

c. Using v² = u² - 2gs where u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s and g = 9.8 m/s², s = -0.6 m (negative since we are at the bottom and 0 m is at the top)and v = final vertical velocity of book

v² = u² - 2gs

= 0 - 2 × 9.8 m/s² × (-0.6 m)

= 11.76 m²/s²

v = √11.76 m/s

= 3.43 m/s

So, the magnitude of the resultant velocity is V = √(v² + v'²)

= √((3.43 m/s)² + (1.10 m/s)'²)

= √(11.76 m²/s² + 1.21 m²/s²)

= √12.97 m²/s²

= 3.6 m/s

Its direction Ф = tan⁻¹(-v/v') since v is in the negative y direction

= tan⁻¹(-3.43 m/s/1.10 m/s)

= tan⁻¹(-3.1182)

= -72.22°

Ф = -72.22°+ 360 = 287.78° since it is in the third quadrant

A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 1.6m. Find the focal length
Yuki888 [10]
Given,

Radius of curvature of concave mirror = 1.6m

We know that ,

Focal length = radius/2

Hence ,

Focal length of concave mirror = radius of concave mirror /2

=> F = 1.6/2

=> F = 0.8m

Hence the focal length of concave mirror is 0.8 m

mestny [16]

Answer:

x = 727.5 km

Explanation:

With the conditions given using trigonometry, we can find the tangent

       tan θ = CO / CA

With CO the opposite leg and CE is the adjacent leg which is the distance from the Tierral to Sun

   

        D =150 10⁶ km (1000m / 1 km)

        D = 150 10⁹ m.

We must take the given angle to radians.

       1º  = 3600 arc s  

       π rad = 180º

       θ = 1 arc s (1º / 3600 s arc) (pi rad / 180º) =

       θ = 4.85 10⁻⁶ rad

That angle is extremely small, so we can approximate the tangent to the angle

     

       θ = x / D

       x = θ D

       x = 4.85 10-6  150 109

       x = 727.5 103 m

       x = 727.5 km

3. A football is kicked with a speed of 35 m/s at an angle of 40°.
jarptica [38.1K]

a) 22.5 m/s

The initial vertical velocity is given by:

u_y = u sin \theta

where

u = 35 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle of projection of the ball

Substituting into the equation, we find

u_y = (35)(sin 40)=22.5 m/s

b) 26.8 m/s

The initial horizontal velocity is given by:

u_x = u cos \theta

where

u = 35 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle of projection of the ball

Substituting into the equation, we find

u_x = (35)(cos 40)=26.8 m/s

c) 2.30 s

The time it takes for the ball to reach the maximum heigth can be found by considering the vertical motion only. This is a uniformly accelerated motion (free-fall), so we can use the suvat equation

v_y = u_y + at

where

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

u_y = 22.5 m/s

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

At the maximum height, the vertical velocity becomes zero, v_y =0; substituting, we find the time t at which this happens:

0=u_y + gt\\t=-\frac{u_y}{g}=-\frac{22.5}{-9.8}=2.30 s

d) 25.8 m

The maximum height can also be found by considering the vertical motion only. We can use the following suvat equation:

s=u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the vertical displacement at time t

u_y = 22.5 m/s

g=-9.8 m/s^2

Substituting t = 2.30 s, we find the displacement at maximum height, so the maximum height:

s=(22.5)(2.30)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(2.30)^2=25.8 m

e) 123.3 m

In order to find how far does the ball lands, we have to consider the horizontal motion.

First of all, the time it takes for the ball to go back to the ground is twice the time needed for reaching the maximum height:

t=2(2.30 s)=4.60 s

Then, we consider the horizontal motion. There is no acceleration along this direction, so the horizontal velocity is constant:

v_x = 26.8 m/s

Therefore, the horizontal distance travelled during the whole motion is

d=v_x t = (26.8)(4.60)=123.3 m

So, the ball lands 123.3 m far from the initial point.

How many total oxygen atoms are in the compound Molybdenum (V) Dichromate?
alekssr [168]

Answer:

1.2646\times10^{25}\ atoms

Explanation:

-The chemical formula for Molybdenum (V) Dichromate is Mo(Cr_2O_7)_3

-There are 21 moles of oxygen per one mole of Molybdenum (V) Dichromate

-We apply Avogadro's constant to find the number of atoms of oxygen:

Avogadro's \ Constant=6.022\times 10^{23} \ mol_1\\\\No\ of \ Atoms=Moles\times Avogadro's \ Constant\\\\=21\times 6.022\times 10^{23} \\\\=1.2646\times10^{25}\ atoms

Hence, there are 1.2646\times10^{25} \ atoms
