Answer:

A. 29.7 m/s

B. 6.06 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Maximum height (h) = 45 m

A. Determination of the initial velocity (u)

Maximum height (h) = 45 m

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

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at maximum height)

Initial velocity (u) =.?

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = u² – (2 × 9.8 × 45)

0 = u² – 882

Collect like terms

0 + 882 = u²

882 = u²

Take the square root of both side

u = √882

u = 29.7 m/s

Therefore, the ball must be thrown with a speed of 29.7 m/s.

B. Determination of the time spent by the ball in the air.

We'll begin by calculating the time take to reach the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Maximum height (h) = 45 m

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

Time (t) to reach the maximum height =?

h = ½gt²

45 = ½ × 9. 8 × t²

45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(45/4.9)

t = 3.03 s

Finally, we shall determine the time spent by the ball in the air. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) to reach the maximum height = 3.03 s

Time (T) spent by the ball in the air =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 3.03

T = 6.06 s

Therefore, the ball spent 6.06 s in the air.

xConsider the following reduction potentials: Cu2+ + 2e– Cu E° = 0.339 V Pb2+ + 2e– Pb E° = –0.130 V For a galvanic cell employi

slega [8]

Answer:

Approximately $\rm 90\; kJ$ .

Explanation:

Cathode is where reduction takes place and anode is where oxidation takes place. The potential of a electrochemical reaction ( $E^{\circ}(\text{cell})$ ) is equal to

$E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) = E^{\circ}(\text{cathode}) - E^{\circ}(\text{anode})$ .

There are two half-reactions in this question. $\rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu$ and $\rm Pb^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Pb$ . Either could be the cathode (while the other acts as the anode.) However, for the reaction to be spontaneous, the value of $E^{\circ}(\text{cell})$ should be positive.

In this case, $E^{\circ}(\text{cell})$ is positive only if $\rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu$ is the reaction takes place at the cathode. The net reaction would be

$\rm Cu^{2+} + Pb \to Cu + Pb^{2+}$ .

Its cell potential would be equal to $0.339 - (-0.130) = \rm 0.469\; V$ .

The maximum amount of electrical energy possible (under standard conditions) is equal to the free energy of this reaction:

$\Delta G^{\circ} = n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell})$ ,

where

$n$ is the number moles of electrons transferred for each mole of the reaction. In this case the value of $n$ is $2$ as in the half-reactions.
$F$ is Faraday's Constant (approximately $96485.33212\; \rm C \cdot mol^{-1}$ .)

$\begin{aligned}\Delta G^{\circ} &= n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell})\cr &= 2\times 96485.33212 \times (0.339 - (-0.130)) \cr &\approx 9.0 \times 10^{4} \; \rm J \cr &= 90\; \rm kJ\end{aligned}$ .

Explain why urban sprawl occurs even though it negatively impacts the environment.

Grace [21]

Urban sprawl occurs when housing is filled in one location and car dependent communities are forced to moved away from the central urban areas where the population is too vast, even though this impacts the environment by increasing pollution and causing environmental degradation.

Two poles are connected by a wire that is also connected to the ground. The first pole is 20ft tall and the second pole is 10ft

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 31.6ft

Explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|

that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft

According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2

10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2

100 + 900 = |AC|^2

|AC| = √1000

|AC| = 31.6ft

Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.

A sound wave is passing by a student 250 times every second. What is the frequency of the sound wave?

inysia [295]

My answer i believe is simply 250 Hz, because sounds or vibrations travel in 1 cycle/second, meaning the number of cycles, in your case 250, divided by the time,1 second, will ultimately be 250 Hertz. For every Cycle/second it will equal 1 Hz, so 250/1 = 250Hz
