Answer:

A. 148.23 m

B. 2.75 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time of flight (T) = 11 s

Maximum height (h) =?

Initial velocity (u) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the ball to get to the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Time of flight (T) = 11 s

Time (t) to reach the maximum height =.?

T = 2t

11 = 2t

Divide both side by 2

t = 11/2

t = 5.5 s

NOTE: Time to reach the maximum height is the same as the time taken for the ball to fall back to the plane of projection.

A. Determination of the maximum height to which the ball was thrown.

Time (t) to reach maximum height = 5.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 5.5²

h = 4.9 × 30.25

h = 148.23 m

B. Determination of the initial velocity.

Maximum height (h) reached = 148.23 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =?

u² = h/2g

u² = 148.23 / (2 × 9.8)

u² = 148.23 / 19.6

Take the square root of both side

u = √(148.23 / 19.6)

u = 2.75 m/s

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) angular velocity ω = 2π / T

= 2 x 3.14 / 60

= .10467 rad / s

linear velocity v = ω R

= .10467 x 50

= 5.23 m / s

centripetal force = m v² / R

= mg v² / gR

= 834 x 5.23² / 9.8 x 50

= 46.55 N

B )

apparent weight

= mg - centripetal force

= 834 - 46.55

= 787.45 N

C ) apparent weight

= mg + centripetal force

= 834 + 46.55

= 880.55 N.

D )

For apparent weight to be zero

centripetal force = mg

mg = mv² / R

v² = gR

= 9.8 x 50

= 490

v = 22.13 m /s

time period of revolution

= 2π R /v

2 x 3.14 x 50 / 22.13

= 14.19 s

Can a compound be separated by physical means?

Julli [10]

No, it is not possible.
A compound is a substance or material constituting of two or more elements that have been chemically combined together to form a new, different substance

Any elements that have been joined together chemically can only be separated back into their constituent elements by chemical means because the bonds holding them together can only be broken using chemical means.

A good example is sodium chloride, table salt. Poisonous chlorine gas and toxic sodium metal react together whereby sodium loses one electron which chlorine readily accepts and in the process an ionic bond is formed between the two resulting in a totally new, harmless compound , sodium chloride.

Only through electrolysis can sodium chloride be separated back into sodium and chlorine gas. No physical means can be used to do that.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer

-Directly; outside air pressure

Vapor pressure is directly related to the temperature of the liquid. user: in an open system, the vapor pressure is equal to the outside air pressure.

Explanation;

-As the temperature of a system increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases in both the liquid and gas phases.

-A higher average kinetic energy facilitates the escape of molecules from the liquid phase into the gas phase. At the same time, the rate of return of gas phase molecules to the liquid also increases. A new equilibrium point is reached at a higher gaseous vapor pressure. The increase in vapor pressure with temperature is exponential.

A 10.0-µF capacitor is charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 10.0 V. A 5.0-µF capacitor is similarly ch

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

First Capacitor is 10 µF

C_1 = 10 µF

Potential difference is

V_1 = 10 V.

The charge on the plate is

q_1 = C_1 × V_1 = 10 × 10^-6 × 10 = 100µC

q_1 = 100 µC

A second capacitor is 5 µF

C_2 = 5 µF

Potential difference is

V_2 = 5V.

Then, the charge on the capacitor 2 is.

q_2 = C_2 × V_2

q_2 = 5µF × 5 = 25 µC

Then, the average capacitance is

q = (q_1 + q_2) / 2

q = (25 + 100) / 2

q = 62.5µC

B. The two capacitor are connected together, then the equivalent capacitance is

Ceq = C_1 + C_2.

Ceq = 10 µF + 5 µF.

Ceq = 15 µF.

The average voltage is

V = (V_1 + V_2) / 2

V = (10 + 5)/2

V = 15 / 2 = 7.5V

Energy dissipated is

U = ½Ceq•V²

U = ½ × 15 × 10^-6 × 7.5²

U = 4.22 × 10^-4 J

U = 422 × 10^-6

U = 422 µJ
