Answer:

Explanation:

The sig figs are off in the answer (unless you use -9.81 for the acceleration due to gravity. My classes always use -9.8, which is 2 sig figs. But nevertheless, we can solve it!) Use the velocity formula:

v_f=v_0+at where vf is the final velocity, v0 is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time in seconds. Filling in, using the fact that both the velocities are negative since the ball is going down:

-24.5 = -12.1 +(-9.8)t or

-24.5 = -12.1 - 9.8t and

-12.4 = -9.8t and divide to get that

t = 1.27 sec

The cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected and atmospheric pressure
jok3333 [9.3K]

Less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape from the open cylinder valve.

Cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane because of higher pressures.

<h3>What are compressed gases?</h3>

Compressed gases are gases which are compressed under high pressure in gas cylinders.

Cylinder valves are used to reduce the pressure of the compressed gases and in the process, some of the gas molecules escape.

Since the cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected at atmospheric pressure, less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape.

Since, the carbon dioxide not liquefy under pressure compared to butane, the cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane.

A 30 g bullet moving a horizontal velocity of 500 m/s comes to a stop 12 cm within a solid wall. (a) what is the change in the b
Sidana [21]
M = 30 g = 0.03 kg, the mass of the bullet
v = 500 m/s, the velocity of the bullet

By definition, the KE (kinetic energy) of the bullet is
KE = (1/2)*m*v²
      = 0.5*(0.03 kg)*(500 m/s)² = 3750 J
Because the bullet comes to rest, the change in mechanical energy is 3750 J.

The work done by the wall to stop the bullet in 12 cm is
W = (1/2)*(F N)*(0.12 m) = 0.06F J

If energy losses in the form of heat or sound waves are ignored, then
W = KE.
That is,
0.06F = 3750
F = 62500 N = 62.5 kN

Answer:
(a) 3750 J
(b) 62.5 kN

One difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that a hypothesis
artcher [175]
A hypothesis is a tentative statement which is made to try to explain a known phenomenon but whose truth value is still uncertain, whether it is true or no depends on further research. On the other hand, a theory is made up of hypothesis which have been proven to be true so far, a theory should be able to explain future phenomena successfully

Which property of light is a constant in a vacuum?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

La velocidad de la luz en el vacío es una constante universal con el valor de 299 792 458 m/s (186 282,397 mi/s),​​aunque suele aproximarse a 3·108 m/s. Se simboliza con la letra c, proveniente del latín celéritās (en español, celeridad o rapidez).

¿Cuál es la consecuencia que a velocidad de la luz sea constante?

Respuesta. En modificaciones del vacío más sutiles, como espacios curvos, efecto Casimir, poblaciones térmicas o presencia de campos externos, la velocidad de la luz depende de la densidad de energía de ese vacío.
