Answer:

1.0x10^-4

Explanation:

First, in order to do this, we need to calculate the volume of 1 simple atom of Ar. Using the formula of the volume of a sphere we have the following

Converting A to cm:

0.97 * 1x10^-8 = 9.7x10^-9 cm

Now the volume:

V = 4/3π(9.7x10^-9)³

V = 3.82x10^-24 cm³

We know that 1 cm³ is 1 mL, and 1 L is 1000 mL so:

V = 3.82x10^-24 mL / 1000 = 3.82x10^-27 L

Now, using avogadro's number, we should get the total volume of all atoms of Ar so:

3.82x10^-27 * 6.02x10^23 = 2.3x10^-3 L

Finally, at STP the volume of an ideal gas is 22.4 L so:

2.3x10^-3 / 22.4 = 1.03x10^-4

With two significant figure, it would be 1.0x10^-4

Erica throws a tennis ball against a wall, and it bounces back. Which force is responsible for sending the ball back to Erica?
Anna71 [15]

OPTIONS :

A.) the force that the ball exerts on the wall

B.) the frictional force between the wall and the ball

C.) the acceleration of the ball as it approaches the wall

D.) the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Answer: D.) the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Explanation: The normal force acting on an object can be explained as a force experienced by an object when it comes in contact with a flat surface. The normal force acts perpendicular to the surface of contact.

In the scenario described above, Erica's tennis ball experiences an opposite reaction after hitting the wall.This is in relation to Newton's 3rd law of motion, which states that, For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The reaction force in this case is the normal force exerted on the ball by the wall perpendicular to the surface of contact.

The record distance in the sport of throwing cowpats is 81.1 m. This record toss was set by Steve Urner of the United States in
N76 [4]

Answer:

28.2 m/s

Explanation:

The range of a projectile launched from the ground is given by:

d=\frac{v^2}{g}sin 2\theta

where

v is the initial speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\theta is the angle at which the projectile is thrown

In this problem we have

d = 81.1 m is the range

\theta=45^{\circ} is the angle

Solving for v, we find the speed of the projectile:

v=\sqrt{\frac{dg}{sin 2 \theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(81.1 m)(9.8 m/s^2)}{sin (2\cdot 45^{\circ})}}=28.2 m/s
