Answer:

Explanation:

I am sitting on a train car traveling horizontally at a constant speed of 50 m/s. I throw a ball straight up into the air. Before , the ball gets separated from my hand , both me the ball will be moving with velocity of 50 m /s in horizontal direction .

As soon as ball is separated from the hand , it acquires addition velocity in upward direction and acceleration in downward direction . This will give relative velocity to the ball with respect to me . So I will see the ball going in upward direction under  gravitational acceleration . It appears as if I am sitting at rest and ball is going in upward direction under deceleration . My motion at 50 m/s will have no effect on the motion of ball in upward direction , according to first law of Newton . It is so because ball too will be moving in forward direction with the same speed which will not be visible to me because I too am moving with the same speed.

If I  am  sitting at rest at home and I threw a ball straight up into the air , I will have the same experience of seeing ball going in similar way as described above.

Which statement is true?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is one that consists of only a numerical value.

Speed is a scalar quantity because only the instantaneous value is indicated, for example the speedometer of a car that tells you your speed at the moment but not where you are going or in what direction are you going.

On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity. Because it is composed of a <u>magnitude and a direction</u>, for example 10m/s to the south is a velocity, and 10m/s is a speed.

Calculate the average orbital speed of Ceres in
marin [14]
] Ceres is composed of rock and ice and is estimated to comprise approximately one third of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. Ceres is the only object in the asteroid belt known to be rounded by its own gravity (though detailed analysis was required to exclude 4 Vesta). From Earth, the apparent magnitude of Ceres ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, peaking once every 15 to 16 months,[21]hence even at its brightest it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye except under extremely dark skies.

In a classroom demonstration, students are using a Slinky to observe and learn about wave properties. If the Slinky has a period
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Frequency = 3.0 Hertz

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Period = 0.333 seconds

To find the frequency;

Mathematically, frequency of a wave is given by the formula;

Frequency = 1/period

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Frequency = 1/0.333

Frequency = 3.0 Hertz

When water freezes, its volume increases by 9.05% (that is, equation). What force per unit area is water capable of exerting on
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1.991 × 10^(8) N/m²

Explanation:

We are told that its volume increases by 9.05%.

Thus; (ΔV/V_o) = 9.05% = 0.0905

To find the force per unit area which is also pressure, we will use bulk modulus formula;

B = Δp(V_o/ΔV)

Making Δp the subject gives;

Δp = B(ΔV/V_o)

Now, B is bulk modulus of water with a value of 2.2 × 10^(9) N/m²

Thus;

Δp = 2.2 × 10^(9)[0.0905]

Δp = 1.991 × 10^(8) N/m²

Aluminum oxide can be produced during rocket launches. Show that the sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equ
Triss [41]

Answer:

The sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equals zero.

Aluminium has a charge of +3 while Oxygen has a charge of -2 on each ion.

Al203 has 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms.

Charge on Al2O3 = 2(charge on Al ion) + 3(charge on O ion)

= 2(3) + 3(-2)

= 6 - 6

= 0

Explanation:

Aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and has the tendency to lose those 3 electrons to form a positive ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Whereas, Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost and has the tendency to accept two more electrons to form a negative ion and have a complete outermost shell.
