A ball of moist clay falls 15.0 m to the ground. It is in contact with the ground for 20.0 ms before stopping. (a) What is the m
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground or moving down

Explanation:

Vf² - Vo² = 2gS

where

Vf = velocity of clay as it hits the ground

Vo = initial velocity of clay = 0

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (constant)

S = distance travelled by clay = 15 m

Substituting appropriate values,

Vf² - 0 = 2(9.8)(15)  

Vf = 17.15 m/sec.

Formula to use is,  

V - Vf = aT

where

V = velocity of clay when it stops = 0

Vf = 17.15 m/sec (as determined above)

a = acceleration

T = 20 ms  

Put the values to find acceleration

a=(V-Vf)/T

a=(0-17.15)/20

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground

Among the alkali earth metals, the tendency to react with other substances
padilas [110]
Answer D
In alkali earth metals reacrivity increases from top to bottom (opposite of b)
This is because as you go down, the electron shells increase by 1 shell. The farther away a shell is from the nucleus, the higher its tendency to react.
D is true because the more reactive an alkali metal is, the more vigorous the reaction will be with water.

wo fixed charges, A and B are located at x axis. A is at x = 0 m, B is at x = 4 m. QA = +4.0 μC and QB = -5.0 μC. Calculate the
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

10250 N/C leftwards

Explanation:

QA = 4 micro Coulomb

QB = - 5 micro Coulomb

AP = 6 m

BP = 2 m

A is origin, B is at 4 m and P is at 6 m .

The electric field due to charge QA at P is EA rightwards

E_{A}=\frac{KQ_{A}}{AP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times4\times10^{-6}}{6^{2}}=1000 N/C (rightwards)

The electric field due to charge QB at P is EB leftwards

E_{B}=\frac{KQ_{B}}{BP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5\times10^{-6}}{2^{2}}=11250 N/C (leftwards)

The resultant electric field at P due the charges is given by

E = EB - EA

E = 11250 - 1000 = 10250 N/C leftwards

Air pressure may be represented as a function of height above the surface of the Earth as shown below.. P(h) = P_0 e^-.00012h. .
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer. Second Option: .85p_o=p_o e^-.00012h


Solution:

P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)

Air pressure: P(h)

Height above the surface of the Earth (in meters): h

Air pressure at the sea level: Po

Height at which air pressure is 85% of the air pressure at sea level:

h=?, P(h)=85% Po

P(h)=(85/100) Po

P(h)=0.85 Po

Replacing P(h) by 0.85 Po in the formula above:

P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)

0.85 Po = Po e^(-0.00012h)
