A cannonball is fired perfectly horizontally from the top of a 210 m tall cliff. It is fired with an initial velocity of 50 m/s.

What is the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground?

Answer:

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

$h = u_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 210}{9.8} }\\\\t = 6.55 \ s$

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

$X = U_x \times \ t\\\\X = 50 \times \ 6.55\\\\X = 327.5 \ m$

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

If the relative humidity is 25 nd the saturation mixing ratio is 24g/kg, what is the mixing ratio?

levacccp [35]

The mixing ratio is 6.

To find the answer, we have to know about the mixing ratio.

<h3>What is mixing ratio?</h3>

The mixing ratio must be calculated in a complex manner.
A saturated vapor pressure (es) for values of air temperature and an actual vapor pressure (e) for values of dewpoint temperature must be determined in order to determine the mixing ratio.
The air temperature and/or dewpoint temperature must first be converted to degrees Celsius (°C) before the vapor pressures can be calculated.
The equation below can be used to determine the relative humidity (rh), as well as the actual mixing ratio and saturated mixing ratio,

$Rh=\frac{w}{w_s} *100$

where; w is the mixing ratio and w(s) is the saturation mixing ratio.

In our question, it is given that,

$Rh=25\\w_s=24$

Thus, the mixing ratio will be,

$w=\frac{Rh*w_s}{100} =\frac{25*24}{100}=6$

Thus, we can conclude that, the mixing ratio is 6.

A positive force on the balance indicates a downward force on the silver sphere while a negative force on the balance indicates

anastassius [24]

The two spheres have opposite charges.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What are types charge?</h3>

A charge can be negatively charged or positively charged.

When two charges have opposite signs, that is positive and negative signs, the two charges will attract each other.
When the two charges have the same sign, it causes repulsion.

When a positive charge points downwards ↓ and the negative charge points upwards ↑, this causes attraction and shows that the two charges are different.

Thus, we can conclude that the two spheres have opposite charges.
