a pool ball leaves a 0.60-meter high table with an initial high table with an initial horizontal velocity of 2.4m/s. what is the
inysia [295]

Answer:

0.84 m

Explanation:

Given in the y direction:

Δy = 0.60 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

0.60 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.35 s

Given in the x direction:

v₀ = 2.4 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.35 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (2.4 m/s) (0.35 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.35 s)²

Δx = 0.84 m

A sample of helium has a volume of 12.7 m3. The temperature is raised to 323 K at which time the gas occupies 32.5 m3? Assume pr
jasenka [17]

Answer: The original temperature was

T_{1}=126.51K

Explanation:

Let's put the information in mathematical form:

V_{1}=12.7m^{3}

T_{1}=?

V_{2}=32.5m^{3}

T_{2}=323K

P_{1}=P_{2}=3atm

If we consider the helium as an ideal gas, we can use the Ideal Gas Law:

PV=nRT

were <em>R</em> is the gas constant. And <em>n</em> is the number of moles (which we don't know yet)

From this, taking R=0.08205746\frac{atm.l}{mol.K},  we have:

n=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{RT_{2}}

⇒n=3.67mol

Now:

T_{1}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{nR}

⇒T_{1}=126.51K

How can hand tools help every technician for their safety in doing hard servicing activities​
Anni [7]

Answer: Hand tools are necessary for daily activities.

Explanation:

The hand tools are useful for day to day activities they aid in pouring substances, holding things, mixing substances, cleaning and for other purposes. In a chemical laboratory the hand tools like test tube holders can help in holding the chemicals. In a medical laboratory the forceps can be useful in holding and cutting the sections without causing any harm to the hands. Hand tools avoid the direct contact with the microorganisms in medical laboratory thus protect against infections. Hand tools aid in surgical operations and they help in avoiding direct contact with the blood vessels and organs preventing contamination and infections.

You send a beam of light from a material with index of refraction 1.17 into an unknown material. In order to help identify this
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The index refraction of the unknown material is 1.08

Explanation:

Light has characteristics of a wave. When light travels or propagates through two media with different index of refraction, the light will bend or will change its speed. 

Using Snells' law which is stated mathematically as:

n1Sintheta1 = n2Sinthetha2

Given:

n1 = 1.17

Theta1 = 40.1° = angle of incidence

Theta2 = 36.3° = angle of refraction

n2 = unknown

Substituting into the equation

n1Sin40.1 = 1.17Sin36.3°

0.6441n1 = 0.6937

n1 = 0.6937/0.6441

n1 = 1.08
