Answer: 17.68 s

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:  

y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)  

Where:  

y=0 is the height of the ball when it hits the ground  

y_{o}=70 m is the initial height of the ball

V_{o}=82m/s is the initial velocity of the ball  

t is the time when the ball strikes the ground

g=9.8m/s^{2} is the acceleration due to gravity  

Having this clear, let's find t from (1):  

0=70m+(82m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2} (2)  

Rewritting (2):

-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}+(82m/s)t+70m=0 (3)  

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form at^{2}+bt+c=0, which can be solved with the following formula:

t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}  (4)

Where:

a=-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2}

b=82m/s

c=70m

Substituting the known values:

t=\frac{-82 \pm \sqrt{82^{2}-4(-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(70)}}{2a}  (5)

Solving (5) we find the positive result is:

t=17.68 s

If pressure is increased from 200 kPa to 300 kPa, and the original volume of gas was 1.5 L, what is the new volume? Assume the t
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:      V2 = 1 l

Explanation:

Data

P1 = 200 kPa

P2 = 300 kPa

V1 = 1.5 l

V2 = ?

Formula

                          P1V1 = P2V2

                          V2 = (P1V1) / P2

                          V2 = (200 x 1.5) / 300

                          V2 = 1 l

Two light bulbs are installed in two sockets, the sockets are connected in series, and power is then applied to the combination
Arisa [49]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

<em>If one of the bulbs is removed from the series, the other bulb will not come on at all.</em>

This is because the removal of one of the bulbs would interrupt the flow of current though the entire circuit.

Hence, that the other one will get brighter if one of two bulbs in a circuit is removed from its socket is not true.
