Answer:

Molecular shapes are important in determining macroscopic properties such as melting and boiling points, and in predicting the ways in which one molecule can react with another.

Yes, a shape of a molecule does matter.

The shape of a molecule helps to determine its properties.

For example, water molecules have a bent structure. This is one reason why water molecules are polar and have properties such as cohesion, surface tension and hydrogen bonding.

I hope this helps!

The driver of a car slams on the brakes, causing the car to slow down at a rate of

sdas [7]

Answer:

A. The time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. The initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Final velocity (V) = 0

Time (t) =?

Initial velocity (U) =?

A. Determination of the time taken for the car to stop.

Let us obtain an express for time (t)

Acceleration (a) = Velocity (V)/time(t)

a = V/t

Velocity (V) = distance (s) /time (t)

V = s/t

a = s/t^2

Cross multiply

a x t^2 = s

Divide both side by a

t^2 = s/a

Take the square root of both side

t = √(s/a)

Now we can obtain the time as follow

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Time (t) =..?

t = √(s/a)

t = √(256/26)

t = 3.14 secs

Therefore, the time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. Determination of the initial speed of the car.

V = U + at

Final velocity (V) = 0

Deceleration (a) = –26ft/s2

Time (t) = 3.14 sec

Initial velocity (U) =.?

0 = U – 26x3.14

0 = U – 81.64

Collect like terms

U = 81.64 ft/s

Therefore, the initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s

A mass of 0.5 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 1.10 m and whose unstretched length is 0.50 m. Next the

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The maximum length during the motion is $L_{max} = 1.45m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass is $m =0.5 kg$

The vertical spring length is $L = 1.10m$

The unstretched length is $L_{un} = 1.30m$

The initial speed is $v_i = 1.3m/s$

The new length of the spring $L_{new} = 1.30 m$

The spring constant k is mathematically represented as

$k = -\frac{F}{y}$

Where F is the force applied $= m * g = 0.5 * 9.8=4.9N$

y is the difference in weight which is $=1.10-0.50=0.6m$

The negative sign is because the displacement of the spring (i.e its extension occurs against the force F)

Now substituting values accordingly

$k = \frac{4.9}{0.6}$

$= 8.17 N/m$

The elastic potential energy is given as $E_{PE} = \frac{1}{2} k D^2$

where D is this the is the displacement

Since Energy is conserved the total elastic potential energy would be

$E_T = initial \ elastic\ potential \ energy + kinetic \ energy$

$E_T = \frac{1}{2} k D_{max}^2 = \frac{1}{2} k D^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Substituting value accordingly

$\frac{1}{2} *8.17 *D_{max}^2 =\frac{1}{2} * 8.17*(1.30 - 0.50)^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 *1.30^2$

$4.085 * D_{max}^2 = 3.69$

$D^2_{max} = 0.9033$

$D_{max} = 0.950m$

So to obtain total length we would add the unstretched length

So we have

$L_{max} = 0.950 + 0.5 = 1.45m$

What type of energy transfer occurs through light or electromagnetic waves?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is in the form of visible light. Light is made of waves of different frequencies.
