Answer:

1.35 m

Explanation:

Taking down to be positive, given:

Δx = Δy / tan 30.0º

v₀ₓ = 4.50 m/s

v₀ᵧ = 0 m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = 10 m/s²

Find: Δy

First, find the time it takes to land in terms of Δy.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s) t²

Δy = 5t²

Next, find Δx in terms of t.

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (4.50 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s) t²

Δx = 4.50t

Substitute:

Δy = 5 (Δx / 4.50)²

20.25 Δy = 5 (Δx)²

4.05 Δy = (Δx)²

4.05 Δy = (Δy / tan 30.0º)²

4.05 Δy = 3 (Δy)²

1.35 = Δy

The basketball was thrown from an initial height of 1.35 m.

Answer:

The number of atoms are $1.86\times10^{8}$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter $D = 1.40\times10^{2}\ pm$

$D=1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}\ m$

Distance = 2.60 cm

We calculate the number of atoms

Using formula of numbers of atoms

$Number\ of\ atoms =\dfrac{2.60\times10^{-2}}{1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}}$

$Number\of\atoms =1.86\times10^{8}$

Hence, The number of atoms are $1.86\times10^{8}$ .

AleksAgata [21]

One of the major limitations of using the ball and stick model for DNA, is that within a single double stranded segment of DNA, one would have to use many many balls to represent atoms that are present in the sugar phosphate backbone, along with all of the main atoms that compose the nitrogenous bases of DNA, we also cannot construct or show the helical form of DNA, by using balls and sticks as well.

Percentage Error is a measurement of the discrepancy between an observed and a true, or accepted value.

[ refer the attachment. ]

According to Question,

% error = $\frac{7.4 - 7.6}{7.6}$ × 100

= 2.631 % = 2.7 % (approximately.)

hope it helps!

If your weight is 120 pounds and your mass is 54 kilograms how would those values change if you were on the moon

BlackZzzverrR [31]

The gravitation acceleration on the moon is different than on Earth. It is 1.6 m/s^2. If you weigh 120 lbs, then you would multiply 120 pounds by the gravitational acceleration on the moon and then divide by the acceleration on Earth.

(120 lbs * 1.6) / 9.8 = 20 pounds.

The mass will always be the same no matter what planet you’re on, so it’s still 54 kg.
