You are trying to find out how high you have to pitch a water balloon in order for it to burst when it hits the ground. You disc

over that the balloon bursts when you have pitched it to a height of 12 m. With what velocity did the balloon hit the ground? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . The positive direction is up, so the velocity when it hits is negative. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

You found that the best height to pitch a water balloon in order for it to

burst when it hits the ground is 12 meters.

We consider that the 12 meters is the maximum height, so the velocity

at this height is zero.

To find the velocity when the balloon hits the ground lets use the rule

<em>v² = u² + 2gh</em>, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, g is

the acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

u = 0 , h = 12 m , g = 9.8 m/s²

<em>Substitute these values in the equation above</em>

v² = 0 + 2(9.8)(12)

v² = 235.2

<em>Take square root for both sides</em>

v = ± \sqrt{235.2}

The velocity is downward, then it's a negative value

Then v = -15.34 m/s

<em>The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s</em>

How much pure gold (24/24) is to be added to 15.0 grams of 14 K gold (14/24) to obtain 18 K gold (18/24)?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

10 gram gold is added

Explanation:

given data

pure gold = (24/24)

added = 15 grams

gold = 14 K  ( 14/24)

gold = 18 K ( 18/24)

to find out

How much pure gold added

solution

we know here that when we add gold to get 20 K gold or 22K

so we added here 15 gram 14 K

we consider here m is pure gold added

so by composition here

we get

15 (14K)  + m ( 24 K) = ( 15 + m ) (18)    ...................1

solve it and find m

m = 10

so 10 gram gold is added

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

n_{air}  =1.0000355

Explanation:

from snells law we have following relation

n' Sin i = n_{air} Sin r

&#10;n_{air} is refractive index of air

n' -  refractive index of air below

i is angle of incidence = 90 - 1.30 = 88.70^o

r is refraction angle

plugging all value in above formula

1.000293 \times sin 88.7 = n_{air} \times sin 90

n_{air}  =1.0000355
