Answer:

(D) x = 93.8 m

Explanation:

v^2 = v0^2 + 2ax

(20 m/s)^2 = (5 m/s)^2 + 2(2 m/s^2)x

Solving for x,

x = 93.8 m

HCl is a strong electrolyte and when it dissolves in water it separates almost completely into positively - charged hydrogen ions and negatively - charged chloride ions. This aqueous solution is usually called hydrochloric acid.

Michael Jordan, el célebre basquetbolista, ganó el torneo de clavadas de la NBA en 1988. Para lograr la hazaña saltó 1.35 metros
kozerog [31]

(a) 0.40 s

First of all, let's find the initial speed at which Jordan jumps from the ground.

The maximum height is h = 1.35 m. We can use the following equation:

v^2-u^2=2gh

where

v = 0 is the velocity at the maximum height

u is the initial velocity

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for u,

u=\sqrt{-2gh}=\sqrt{-2(-9.8)(1.35)}=5.14 m/s

The time needed to reach the maximum height can now be found by using the equation

v=u+gt

Solving for t,

t=\frac{v-u}{g}=\frac{0-5.14}{-9.8}=0.52s

Now we can find the velocity at which Jordan reaches a point 20 cm below the maximum height, so at a height of

h' = 1.35 - 0.20 = 1.15 m

Using again the equation

v'^2-u^2=2gh'

we find

v'=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{5.14^2+2(-9.8)(1.15)}=1.97 m/s

And the corresponding time is

t'=\frac{v'-u}{g}=\frac{1.97-5.14}{-9.8}=0.32s

So the time to go from h' to h is

\Delta t = t-t'=0.52-0.32=0.20 s

And since we have also to take into account the fall down (after Jordan reached the maximum height), which is symmetrical, we have to multiply this time by 2 to get the total time of permanence in the highest 20 cm of motion:

\Delta t=2\cdot 0.20 = 0.40 s

(b) 0.08 s

This part is easier since we need to calculate only the velocity at a height of h' = 0.20 m:

v'^2-u^2=2gh'

v'=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{5.14^2+2(-9.8)(0.20)}=4.74 m/s

And the corresponding time is

t'=\frac{v'-u}{g}=\frac{4.74-5.14}{-9.8}=0.04s

So this is the time needed to go from h=0 to h=20 cm; again, we have to take into account the motion downwards, so we have to multiply this by 2:

\Delta t = 2\cdot 0.04 =0.08 s

A ball is thrown up at a speed of 20 m/s.
ioda

Given:

(Initial velocity)u=20 m/s

At the maximum height the final velocity of the ball is 0.

Also since it is a free falling object the acceleration acting on the ball is due to gravity g.

Thus a=- 9.8 m/s^2

Now consider the equation

v^2-u^2= 2as

Where v is the final velocity which is measured in m/s

Where u is the initial velocity which is measured in m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity measured in m/s^2

s is the displacement of the ball in this case it is the maximum height attained by the ball which is measured in m.

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

0-(20x20)= 2 x- 9.8 x s

s= 400/19.6= 20.41m

Thus the maximum height attained is 20.41 m by the ball

Help with these please someone?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1

9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.

Explanation:

8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...

1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)

ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ

-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1

___

9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...

6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344

half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.

PLZZZ HELPPP ASAP<br> I really need help as soon as possible
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Friction

Explanation:

As the toy cars rolls away, more friction is created. The more friction there is, the more friction on surface rubs against another which creates friction which in-term slows it down. Hope this helps.
