Recall that

<em>v</em>² - <em>u</em>² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>

where <em>u</em> and <em>v</em> are initial and final velocities, respectively; <em>a</em> is acceleration; and ∆<em>x</em> is the distance traveled (because the skater moves in only one direction).

So we have

(5.8 m/s)² - (8.8 m/s)² = 2 <em>a</em> (6.0 m)

<em>a</em> = ((5.8 m/s)² - (8.8 m/s)²) / (12 m)

<em>a</em> = -3.65 m/s²

inna [77]

Answer:

<h2>Both balls will hit the ground at the same time, because gravity is constant.</h2>

Explanation:

Notice that both balls are being thrown at the same initial height.

It's important to know that these movements which depends of gravity (a constant acceleratio) they would fall at the same rythm, because the gravity is a constant.

Remember that gravity is an acceleration, which it's defined as the change of the velocity, so if both balls change their vertical velocity at the same rate, then they will fall at the same time, because they have the same initial height.

Additionally, when you throw a ball horizontally, it will bend down due to gravity, and this falling movement is the same as if you throw vertically as a free falling movement.

Therefore, both balls will hit the ground at the same time, because gravity is constant.

If you committed a crime, would it be easy for investigators to match this print to your records? Why or why not? Hint: how’s th
andrezito [222]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the picture of the print in question. However, when the quality of the print obtained from a crime scene is high/good, then this is a good/positive step in identification of a suspect. However, if the quality is bad, other options might need to be explored in addendum to the print obtained in identifying a suspect.

If the quality of the print is good enough to make a pattern, then another factor comes into play. If the pattern is a rare pattern or is not common, then it becomes easier to identify the suspect because there would be fewer people having that fingerprint and fewer people to deal with. Of the three major patterns of fingerprints (whorl, loop and arch), arch fingerprints are the least common.

Is the following chemical equation balanced?<br><br> MgI2 + Br2 MgBr2 + I2 <br><br> yes<br><br> no
Brums [2.3K]

Yes

Explanation:

This chemical equation:

Mg I_2 + Br_2 \rightarrow Mg Br_2 + I_2

is balanced, because the number of atoms of each element is the same on the reactant side and on the product side. In fact:

- Mg: one atom on the left, one on the right

- I: 2 atoms on the left, and 2 on the right

- Br: 2 atoms on the left, and 2 on the right

So, the reaction is balanced.

What must happen for an ion To form
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Lose or gain

Explanation:

Ions are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells. When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.
