Answer:

I would say both

Explanation:

Each silicon atom has four valence electrons which are shared, forming covalent bonds with the four surrounding Si atoms.

Carbon contains four electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, it can form four covalent bonds with other atoms or molecules. The simplest organic carbon molecule is methane (CH4), in which four hydrogen atoms bind to a carbon atom (Figure 1).

In a 49 s interval, 595 hailstones strike a glass window of an area of 0.954 m at an angle of 25° to the window surface. Each ha

eduard

Average force on the window: 0.32 N

Explanation:

The average force exerted on the window is given by Newton's second law

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta p$ is the net change in momentum of the hailstones in a time interval of $\Delta t$

In order to find the change in momentum, we have to consider only the component of the hailstone's momentum perpendicular to the window, therefore:

$p_i =m u sin \theta$ is the initial momentum of one hailstone, with

m = 7 g = 0.007 kg is the mass

$u=4.5 m/s$ is the initial speed

$\theta=25^{\circ}$ is the angle with the window

The final momentum is

$p_f = mv sin \theta$

where

v = 4.5 m/s is the final speed (the collision is elastic so the speed is equal, while the direction changes)

$\theta=-25^{\circ}$ (after the rebound, the direction has changed)

So the change in momentum of 1 hailstone is

$\Delta p = mv sin(-25^{\circ})-mu sin(25^{\circ})=-2mu sin(25^{\circ})=-0.0266 kg m/s$

We are interested only in the magnitude, so

$\Delta p = 0.0266 kg m/s$

There are 595 hailstones hitting the window in 49 s, so the total change in momentum is

$\Delta p = 595\cdot 0.0266 = 15.8 kg m/s$

And therefore, the average force on the window is

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{15.8}{49}=0.32 N$

A projectile is fired with a velocity of 22 m/s at an angle of 25°. What is the vertical component of the velocity?

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Vertical component of velocity is 9.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of projection of a projectile, v = 22 m/s

It is fired at an angle of 22°

The horizontal component of velocity is v cosθ

The vertical component of velocity is v sinθ

So, vertical component is given by :

$v_y=v\ sin(25)$

$v_y=22\ m/s\times\ sin(25)$

$v_y=9.29\ m/s$

Hence, the vertical component of the velocity is 9.29 m/s
