Answer:

F=32.24N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height h= 2.75 m

Lengthl = 5.25 m

Mass m=45kg

Final speed v_f=6.81

Generally the equation for Potential Energy P.E is mathematically given by

P.E=mgh

Therefore

Initial potential energy

P.E_1=45*9.8*2.75 \\\\P.E_1= 1212.75 J

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy K.E is mathematically given by

K.E=0.5mv^2

Therefore

Final kinetic energy

K.E_2= 1/2*45*6.81*6.81 \\\\K.E_2= 1043.46J

Generally the equation for Work_done is mathematically given by

W=P.E_1-K.E_2\\\\W=169.3

Therefore

F=\frac{W}{d}\\\\F=\frac{169.3}{5.25}

F=32.24N

Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere by a two-step reaction:
Sladkaya [172]
Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere where the reactions involving bromine, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen gases form compounds that destroy the ozone layer. The reactions uses a catalyst (speeds up the reaction) in a two step reaction. considering chlorine the reactions appears as follows;
step 1
 Cl + O3 = ClO + O2 
 step 2
ClO + O = Cl + O2 
Where by chlorine is released to destroy the ozone layer, this takes place many times even with the other elements (hydrogen, bromine, nitrogen) and the end result is a completely destroyed Ozone layer

An AC source is connected to a series combination of a light bulb and a variable capacitor. If the capacitance is increased, the
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Since power P=IV

Then it means when current increases, the power increases hence brightness increases. I represent current, P is power and v is voltage.

Current of capacitor when in series connection is given by

I=2\pi fCV

where I is current across capacitor, f is frequency, C is capacitance and v is voltage across capacitance. From this second formula, it is evident that an increase in capacitance increases the current across the capacitor. Therefore, if current increases, power also increases leading to an increase in brightness

A ball is thrown straight up in the air. For which situations are both the instantaneous velocity and the acceleration zero? (Se
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Therefore, the situation in which both the instantaneous velocity and acceleration become zero, is the situation when the ball reaches the highest point of its motion.

Explanation:

When a ball is thrown upward under the free fall action of gravity, it starts to loose its Kinetic Energy as it moves upward. As the ball moves in upward direction, its kinetic energy gradually converts into its potential energy. As a result the speed of the ball starts to decrease as it moves up. Therefore, at the highest point during its motion, the velocity of ball becomes zero and it stops at the highest point for a moment, and then it starts to fall back down, under the influence of gravitational force.

Therefore, the situation in which both the instantaneous velocity and acceleration become zero, is the situation <u>when the ball reaches the highest point of its motion.</u>

How to find out the heat capacity of a material?​
DochEvi [55]

\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {EXPLANATION}}}}

The heat capacity is given by the expression:

\longrightarrow \sf{\triangle Q= m \triangle C  \triangle   T}

\longrightarrow \sf{Q= \: Heat}

\longrightarrow \sf{M= \: Mass}

\longrightarrow \sf{C= \: Specific \: Heat}

\longrightarrow \sf{T= \: Temperature}

\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {ANSWER:}}}}

\leadsto When the \bm{heat} is measured in the calorimeter, we obtain a value, and since we know the mass of the material and we control the change in \bm{temperature} , we can then determine the specific heat "C" by simply remplazing in the expression.
