An object is dropped from a platform 100 feet high. Ignoring wind resistance, what will its speed be when it reaches the ground?

2 answers:

7 0

if we assume the origin is at the dropping point and the object is merely dropped and not thrown up or down then y0 = 0 and v0 = 0. The equation reduces to 

y = 0 + 0t + ½gt² 
y = ½gt² 

t = √(2y/g) 

in the ft - lb - s system 

y = -100 ft 
g = -32.2 ft / s² 

t = √(2y/g) 
t = √(2(-100) / (-32.2)) 
t = 2.5 s

What is intermolecular forces and how is it related to phases of matter

MakcuM [25]

Intermolecular forces are forces that keep molecules together. For example, the forces between two water molecules. The stronger the intermolecular forces are, the more "solid" is the matter going to be, meaning that the intermolecular forces are the strongest in solids and weakest in gases.
Make sure not to confuse intERmolecular forces (forces between *molecules*) and intRAmolecular forces (forces between *atoms* that make up a molecule).

A neutral atom of uranium (U) has 146 neutrons and a mass number of 238. How many protons does it have?

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

92 protons

Explanation:

The mass number is 238 , so the nucleus has 238 particles in total, including 146 neutrons. So to calculate the number of neutrons we have to subtract: 238 − 146 = 92

An ideal gas, initially at a pressure of 11.2 atm and a temperature of 299 K, is allowed to expand adiabatically until its volum

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The pressure is $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial pressure is $P_1 = 11.2\ a.t.m$

The temperature is $T_1 = 299 \ K$

Let the first volume be $V_1$ Then the final volume will be $2 V_1$

Generally for a diatomic gas

$P_1 V_1 ^r = P_2 V_2 ^r$

Here r is the radius of the molecules which is mathematically represented as

$r = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$

Where $C_p \ and\ C_v$ are the molar specific heat of a gas at constant pressure and the molar specific heat of a gas at constant volume with values

$C_p=7 \ and\ C_v=5$

=> $r = \frac{7}{5}$

=> $11.2*( V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } ) = P_2 * (2 V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } )$

=> $P_2 = [\frac{1}{2} ]^{\frac{7}{5} } * 11.2$

=> $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$

What is inertia? That is all but I need 20 characters to ask lol

damaskus [11]

Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.
