Answer:

Explanation:

You have to declare which way is plus -- up or down. I will use down.

vi = - 2.85       The balloon is going up. That is the minus direction.

a = 9.81

d =   2.50 meters  distance in this case is from the object to the ground.

d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2

-2.50 = -2.85*t + 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

-2.50 = -2.85*t + 4.905 * t^2           transfer the left to the right.

-4.905 t^2 + 2.85*t + 2.50 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve for t.

It turns out that t = 1.06

If a liter of water is heated from 20 C to 50 C, what happens to its volume?
iragen [17]

Answer:

The volume increases

Choice B is correct

Explanation:

If a liter of water is heated from 20 C to 50 C its volume will increase.

Matter exists in 3 states;

Solids

Liquids

Gases

Matter expands when heated, consequently occupying more space. This implies that volume will increase

Part A: Determine the wavelength of photons that can be emitted
torisob [31]

Answer:

A  λ = 97.23 nm

, B)   λ = 486.2 nm

, C)  λ = 53326 nm

Explanation:

With that problem let's use the Bohr model equation for the hydrogen atom

          E_{n} = -k e² /2a₀  1/n²

For a transition between two states we have

          E_{nf} -  E_{no} = -k e² /2a₀ (1/  n_{f}² - 1 / n₀²)

Now this energy is given by the Planck equation

         E = h f

And the speed of light is

         c = λ f

Let's replace

      h c / λ = - k e² /2a₀ (1 / n_{f}² - 1 / no₀²)

      1 /  λ = - k e² /2a₀ hc (1 / n_{f}² -1 / n₀²)

Where the constants are the Rydberg constant R_{H} = 1.097 10⁷ m⁻¹

        1 /  λ = R_{H} (1 / n₀² - 1 / nf²)

Now we can substitute the given values

Part A

 Initial state n₀ = 1 to the final state n_{f} = 4

        1 /  λ = 1.097 10⁷ (1/1 - 1/4²)

         1 /  λ = 1.0284 10⁷ m⁻¹

          λ = 9.723 10⁻⁸ m

We reduce to nm

         λ = 9.723 10⁻⁸ m (10⁹ nm / 1m)

         λ = 97.23 nm

Part B

Initial state n₀ = 2 final staten_{f} = 4

       1 /  λ = 1.097 10⁷ (1/2² - 1/4²)

       1 /  λ = 0.2056 10⁻⁷ m

        λ = 486.2 nm

Part C

Initial state n₀ = 3

      1 /  λ = 1,097 10⁷ (1/3² - 1/4²)

       1 /  λ = 5.3326 10⁵ m⁻¹

        λ = 5.3326 10-5 m

        λ = 53326 nm

What is the magnitude of force required to accelerate a car of mass
mart [117]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 8075 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

<h3>force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question

mass = 1.7 × 10³ kg = 1700 kg

acceleration = 4.75 m/s²

We have

force = 1700 × 4.75

We have the final answer as

<h3>8075 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
