Answer:

$v_f = 17.15 m/s$

Explanation:

Since the ball is dropped from the height

h = 15 m

so here initial speed of the ball is

$u = 0$

acceleration of the ball due to gravity is given as

$a = 9.8 m/s^2$

now the final speed of the ball is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 0 = 2(9.8)(15)$

$v_f = 17.15 m/s$

By v^2 = u^2 + 2gh
v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 15
v = √294
v = 17.15 m/s

How does current change for resistors in series? what is the equivalent resistance for resistors in series? answers?

ollegr [7]

The total resistance of electric circuit when resistors wired in a series is the sum of the individual resistance: each resistor in a series circuit has the same amount of current through and through it. Each resistor in a parallel circuit the same for voltage of the source applied to it.
when resistors are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the currents the metre resistor. In other words the currents in the branches of a parallel circuit add up to the supply current. When resistors are connected in parallel, they have the same potential difference is across them

fredd [130]

Answer:

B. The algebraic sum of the two electric potentials is determined at a distance r/2 from each of the charges, making sure to include the signs of the charges.

Explanation:

Total electric potential is the sum of all the electric potential. And because electric potential is a scalar quantity you have to account for the signs.

A horizontal force of 750 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 250-kg crate. What is

loris [4]

Answer:

The acceleration of the crate is $1.82\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 750 N

Mass of the crate, m = 250 kg

The coefficient of friction is 0.12.

We need to find the acceleration of the crate. The net force acting on the crate is given by :

$F=ma\\\\F-f=ma$

f is frictional force, $f=\mu N=\mu mg$

$F-\mu mg=ma\\\\a=\dfrac{F-\mu mg}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{750-0.12\times 250\times 9.8}{250}\\\\a=1.82\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the crate is $1.82\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Select the statements that correctly interpret the data in this heating curve.

tekilochka [14]

The consistent temperature indicated by section 2 represents the flow of energy lost as the water freezes.

Section 2 indicates that energy is being utilized to bring all molecules to the melting point.

Section 4 indicates that the temperature is stable until all molecules reach the boiling point.

The increasing temperature in section 5 indicates that molecular motion is increasing.

Explanation:

The figure is missing: find it in attachment.

The graph represents the temperature of a block of ice as heat is continuously supplied to it.

At the beginning (section 1), the temperature increases: in this phase, the heat supplied to the ice is used to increase the kinetic energy of vibration of the molecules of ice.

When the ice reach point A (melting point), the ice starts to melt. In this phase (section 2), the temperature of the substance remains constant, because all the heat supplied is used to break the bonds between the molecules, converting the ice into liquid water.

At point B, the ice has completely melted, and therefore we now have liquid water.

In sector 3 (between B and C), the temperature of the water increases again as we supply more and more heat: this heat, in fact, is used to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, which move faster and faster.

Then, the water reaches the boiling point (point C): after that, the water starts to boil, (sector 4) and the heat supplied is entirely used to remove the intermolecular forces between the molecules of water; as a result, the temperature remains constant during the process.

At poind D, the water has completely boiled, and converted into gas state (steam).

After that, the temperature of the steam starts to increase again (sector 5) as more and more heat is supplied, because it is used to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules.

Therefore, the correct statements are:

The consistent temperature indicated by section 2 represents the flow of energy lost as the water freezes.

Section 2 indicates that energy is being utilized to bring all molecules to the melting point.

Section 4 indicates that the temperature is stable until all molecules reach the boiling point.

The increasing temperature in section 5 indicates that molecular motion is increasing.
