Answer:

The tension in the horizontal string is 7.2 N

Explanation:

With the assumption that the ice surface has no friction, the tension in the horizontal string is equal to the centripetal force, 'F', acting on the string to keep it in circular motion

The \ centripetal \ force, \ F = m \times \dfrac{v^2}{r}

Where;

m = The mass of the object in the circular

v = The tangential velocity of the object

r= The radius of the circle through whose path the object is moved

The given parameters are;

The mass of the toy that is whirled in a circle by the string, m = 2 kg

The radius of the circle the toy's path turns, r = 2.5 meters

The velocity of the toy at the instant the tension is sought, v = 3 m/s

Therefore, we get;

The \ centripetal \ force, \ F = 2 \, kg \times \dfrac{(3 \, m/s)^2}{2.5 \, m} = 7.2 \, N

The centripetal force, F = 7.2 N = The tension in the horizontal string

∴ The tension in the horizontal string = 7.2 N.

Which of the follow represent a chemical changes
mixer [17]

Answer:

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

Explanation:

The missing options are:

A) ice melting to form liquid water

B) water boiling to form steam

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

D) sugar dissolving into hot coffee

In a chemical change the atoms of the reacting compounds are reordered forming new compounds. In a chemical change, new compounds appear, but in a physical change not.

Then, change of states like ice melting and water boiling are not chemical changes.

During steel rust, components of steel, like iron, are oxidized, that is, reacts with oxygen forming oxides.

The dissolution of sugar into hot coffee is a physical change in which sugar molecules get further apart in the coffee,  but they don't change.

At the same moment from the top of a building 3.0 × 10 2 m tall, one rock is dropped and one is thrown downward with an initial
Bess [88]
The equation that relates distance, velocities, acceleration, and time is,
                   d = V₀t + 0.5gt²
where d is distance,
V₀ is the initial velocity,
t is time, and 
g is the acceleration due to gravity (equal to 9.8 m/s²)

(1) Dropped rock,
                  (3 x 10² m ) = 0(t) + 0.5(9.8 m/s²)(t²)
The value of t from this equation is 24.73 s

(2) Thrown rock with V₀ = 26 m/s
                (3 x 10² m) = (26)(t) + 0.5(9.8 m/s²)(t²)
The value of t from the equation is 5.61 s

The difference between the tim,
        difference = 24.73 s - 5.61 s
          difference = 19.12 s

<em>ANSWER: 19.12 s</em>
