Answer:

The velocity of the nickel just before it hits the ground is approximately 49.3 m/s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the velocity of the nickel just before it hits the ground, we recall the kinematic equation of motion, v² = u² + 2·g·h, where the variables of the equation are defined as follows;

v = The velocity of the nickel just before it hits the ground after it is pushed off the observation deck

u = The initial velocity of the nickel just before it is pushed off the observation deck = 0 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height from which he nickel is pushed off the edge = 124 m

Substituting the given values and the constant, "g", we have;

v² = 0² + 2 × 9.8 × 124 = 2,430.4

v = √2,430.4

Using a graphing calculator, we have;

v = √2,430.4 = 14·√(62/5) ≈ 49.3

The velocity of the nickel just before it hits the ground = v ≈ 49.3 m/s.

What is a materials ability to be dissolved in a solvent

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: Solubility

Solubility is the ability to be dissolved. Saturation is when the concentration is too high(more than solubility) that when you add another material it won't dissolve. Solute is the material that dissolved. Solvent is the material that used for dissolving

1.- An elevator is being lowered at a constant speed by a steel cable attached to an electric motor. Which statement is correct?

Nady [450]

Answer:

the correct one is C

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the work definition

W = F. s

Where the bold characters indicate vectors and the point is the scalar producer

W = F s cos θ

Where θ is the angles between force and displacement.

Let us support this in our case. The cable creates an upward tension and with the elevator going down the angle between them is 180º so the work of the cable on the elevator is negative.

The evade has a downward force, its weight so the force goes down and the displacement goes down, as both are in the same direction the work is positive

When examining the statements the correct one is C

If the numbers on the plate are 6.0 cm apart, and the spy satellite is at an altitude of 160 km , what must be the diameter of t

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The diameter of the camera aperture must be greater than or equal to 1.49m

Explanation:

Let the distance separating two objects, x = 6.0 cm = 0.06 m

The distance between the observer and the two objects, d = 160 km = 160000 m

Let ∅ = minimum angular separation between the two objects that the satellite can resolve

tan( ∅) = x/d

Since there is minimum angular separation, tan( ∅) ≈∅

∅ = x/d

∅ = 0.06/160000

∅ = 3.75 * 10⁻⁷rad

For the satellite to be able to resolve the objects,

D ≥ 1.22λ/∅

λ = 560 nm = 560 * 10⁻⁹

D ≥ 1.22 * (560 * 10⁻⁹)/(3.75 * 10⁻⁷)

D ≥ 149.33 * 10⁻² m

D ≥ 1.49 m

A block of aluminum with a volume of 10 cm3 is placed in a beaker of water filled to the brim. Water overflows. The same is done

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) Both blocks displace the same amount of water.

Explanation:

Specific gravity (S.G.) is a quantity that tells how much and object is submerged on water and is given by:

$S.G=\frac{\rho_{block}}{\rho_{fluid}}$

with ρ the densities

Density of water is $997 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ and density of aluminum is $2712 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}$

So:

$S.G=\frac{2712}{997}=2.72$

A S.G. value bigger than one means the object is totally submerged so the water displaced is equal to the volume of the cube.

For the lead (density = $11340\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ ) block we're going to calculate specific gravity in this case:

$S.G=\frac{11340}{997}=11.37$

Again S.G gravity is bigger than 1, so the lead block is totally submerged too, that implies the volume of water displaced is the volume of the block, that is the same volume as the aluminum block, so a is the correct one.
