A bobsled zips down an ice track, starting from rest at the top of a hill with a vertical height of 150m. Disregarding friction,

what is the velocity of the bobsled at the bottom of the hill? (g=9.81 m/s^2)

<span>The velocity would be 54.2 m/s We would use the equation 1/2mv^2top+mghtop = 1/2mv^2bottom+mghbottom where m is the mass of the bobsled(which can be ignored), vtop/bottom is the velocity of the bobsled at the top or bottom, g is gravity, and htop/bottom is the height of the bobsled at the top or bottom of the hill. Since the velocity of the bobsled at the top of the hill and height at the bottom of the hill are zero, 1/2mv^2top and mghbottom will equal zero. The equation will be mghtop=1/2mv^2bottom. Thus we would solve for v.</span>

Answer:

54.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy. The total mechanical energy at the top of the hill is just gravitational potential energy:

E_i = mgh

where m is the mass of the bobsled, g is the gravitational acceleration and h=150 m. The total mechanical energy at the bottom of the hill is just kinetic energy:

E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v is the velocity of the bobsled at the bottom of the hill. Since the total energy must be conserved, we can write:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

and we can solve for v

v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.81 m/s^2)(150 m)}=54.2 m/s

What is the function of a switch? pls HELPPPPPP TYSMMMMM &lt;3​
lesya [120]

Answer:

Connect multiple hosts: Normally, a switch provides a large number of ports for cable connections, allowing for star topology routing. It is usually used to connect multiple PCs to the network. Forwards a message to a specific host: Like a bridge, a switch uses the same forwarding or filtering logic on each port. When any host on the network or a switch sends a message to another host on the same network or the same switch, the switch receives and decodes the frames to read the physical (MAC) address portion of the message. Manage traffic: A switch in networking can manage traffic either coming into or exiting the network and can connect devices like computers and access points with ease. Keep electrical signal undistorted: When a switch forwards a frame, it regenerates an undistorted square electrical signal. Increase LAN bandwidth: A switch divides a LAN into multiple collision domains with independent broadband, thus greatly increasing the bandwidth of the LAN.

Select all that apply. Which of the following are characteristics of acids? contain hydroxide ion or produce it in a solution ta
julia-pushkina [17]
These are the characteristics that apply:

 - In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.

- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water

-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme: 

HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)
