Answer:

- 0.8333 m/s^2

Explanation:

the equation for calculating acceleration that I have used is

(V2-V1)/t

where V2 is the final recorded velocity and V1 is the initial velocity and t is the duration of the acceleration.

which you plug the numbers in (15 - 25)/12 = 10/12 and because you are slowing down, it should be negative

I am in highschool honors physics so I am not college leveled, I might be wrong but I hope this is useful,

Describe asexual reproduction

Brrunno [24]

“Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes, and almost never changes the number of chromosomes.” -Wikipedia

A vertical spring gun is used to launch balls into the air. If the spring is compressed by 4.9 cm, the ball of mass 5.5 g is lau

AleksandrR [38]

We know, by conservation of energy :

$\dfrac{kx^2}{2}=mgh$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}$

Putting given values, we get :

$\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}\\\\\dfrac{4.9^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{50.2}{2\times 50.2}\\\\x_2^2=2\times 4.9^2\\\\x_2 = 4.9\times \sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=6.93\ cm$

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.

Hence, this is the required solution.

An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of L = 0.5 m and is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of Ts =

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².

Explanation:

Given that,

For first object,

Characteristic length = 0.5 m

Surface temperature = 400 K

Atmospheric temperature = 300 K

Velocity = 25 m/s

Air velocity = 5 m/s

Characteristic length of second object = 2.5 m

We have same shape and density of both objects so the reynold number will be same,

We need to calculate the value of the average convection coefficient

Using formula of reynold number for both objects

$R_{1}=R_{2}$

$\dfrac{u_{1}L_{1}}{\eta_{1}}=\dfrac{u_{2}L_{2}}{\eta_{2}}$

$\dfrac{h_{1}L_{1}}{k_{1}}=\dfrac{h_{2}L_{2}}{k_{2}}$

Here, $k_{1}=k_{2}$

$h_{2}=h_{1}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}$

$h_{2}=\dfrac{q}{T_{2}-T_{1}}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}$

Put the value into the formula

$h_{2}=\dfrac{10000}{400-300}\times\dfrac{0.5}{2.5}$

$h_{2}=20\ W/Km^2$

Hence, The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.
