The projectile has a height <em>h</em> at time <em>t</em> given by

<em>h</em> = (14.0 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve for <em>t</em> when <em>h</em> = 0 :

0 = (14.0 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

0 = 1/2 <em>t</em> (28.0 m/s - <em>g t</em> )

1/2 <em>t</em> = 0   <u>or</u>   28.0 m/s - <em>g</em> <em>t</em> = 0

The first equation says <em>t</em> = 0, which refers to the moment the gun is first fired, so we ignore that solution. We're left with

28.0 m/s - <em>g t</em> = 0

<em>t</em> = (28.0 m/s) / <em>g</em>

<em>t</em> = (28.0 m/s) / (9.80 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 2.86 s

In a candy factory, the nutty chocolate bars contain 20.0 % pecans by mass. If 4.0 kg of pecans were used for candy last Tuesday
ladessa [460]

Answer:

44.09 pounds

Explanation:

We got that 20 % of the mass of a nutty chocolate bar its pecans, if 4.0 kg of pecans were used, we need to find the X in the equation

0.2 * X = 4.0 \ kg

where X its the total mass of nutty chocolate bars produced. So, we can just divide by 0.2 on both sides, and we find:

X = 4.0 kg / 0.2

X = 20.0 \ kg

Of course, we need the total mass produced in pounds, and not in kilograms.  Looking at an conversion table, we can find that 1 kg its 2.20462 pounds, multiplying the value for total mass produced by the conversion factor we get:

X = 20.0 \ kg * 2.20462 \ \frac{pounds}{kg}

X = 44.0924 \ pounds

Now, we just need to round off to two significant figures. This is:

X = 44.09 \ pounds,

the total mass of nutty chocolate bars  made last Tuesday to two significant figures.

In an experiment refractive index of glass was observed to be 1.45,1.56,1.54,1.44,1.54and1.53. Calculate mean value of refractiv
Sever21 [200]
The mean may be calculated by summing the values of the refractive index and dividing the sum by the number of experiments. This is:
Mean = (1.45 + 1.56 + 1.54 + 1.44 + 1.54 + 1.53)/6
Mean = 1.51

The mean absolute error is the sum of the absolute values of errors divided by the number of trials:
MAE = (|1.45-1.51|+|1.56-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.44-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.53-1.51|)/6
MAE = 0.043

The fractional error is the MAE divided by the actual value:
Fractional error = 0.043 / 1.51
Fractional error = 43/1510

The percentage error is the fractional error multiplied by 100:
Percentage error = 2.85%

Why is it important that a finger be wet<br> before it is touched to a hot clothes iron?
AleksandrR [38]

Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.
