The acceleration of the object after 3 seconds of fall is -9.8 m/s².

The given parameters;

initial velocity of the object, u = 0
time of motion of the object, t = 3 seconds

Acceleration is the change in velocity per change in time of motion.

The acceleration of the object after 3 seconds of fall is calculated as follows;

Since the object is in free fall, the object experiences only acceleration due to gravity.
the magnitude of this acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s²
the direction of this acceleration is downwards

Thus, the acceleration of the object after 3 seconds of fall is -9.8 m/s².

Answer:

The answer should be C

Explanation:

An exothermic process releases heat, causing the temperature of the immediate surroundings to rise. An endothermic process absorbs heat and cools the surroundings.

Two models of the same compound are shown. In what way is Model A better than Model B?

astra-53 [7]

The correct answer is Model A shows the three-dimensional shape of the molecule, but Model B does not.

Explanation:

Model A and B show the structure of a molecule. In the case of model A, the structure is represented through the use of three-dimensional shapes, while in model B the structure is represented using the letters of each element and showing how each element is connected to others.

In this context, one feature that makes model A better is that this represents the molecule using a 3D model, which is better to understand how the molecule looks like and what is its structure. Moreover, both models are alike because they show the number of atoms of each element, although model A does not show the types of elements.

On earth, two parts of a space probe weigh 14500 N and 4800 N. These parts are separated by a center-to-center distance of 18 m

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$F = 1.489*10^{-7} N$

Explanation: Weight of space probes on earth is given by: $W= m*g$

W= weight of the object( in N)

m= mass of the object (in kg)

g=acceleration due to gravity(9.81 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ )

Therefore,

$m_{1} = \frac{14500}{9.81}$

$m_{1} = 1478.08 kg$

Similarly,

$m_{2} = \frac{4800}{9.81}$

$m_{2} = 489.29 kg$

Now, considering these two parts as uniform spherical objects

Also, according to Superposition principle, gravitational net force experienced by an object is sum of all individual forces on the object.

Force between these two objects is given by:

$F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}}{R^{2} }$

G= gravitational constant ( $6.67 * 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ )

$m_{1} , m_{2}$ = masses of the object

R= distance between their centres (in m)(18 m)

Substituiting all these values into the above formula

$F = 1.489*10^{-7} N$

This is the magnitude of force experienced by each part in the direction towards the other part, i.e the gravitational force is attractive in nature.

7) Three resistors having resistances of 4.0 Ω, 6.0 Ω, and 10.0 Ω are connected in parallel. If the combination is connected in

viva [34]

Answer:

A, 0.59A

Explanation:

The total resistance in the circuit is the resistances in parallel plus that in series.

Total resistance for those in parallel is;

1/(1/4 +1/6 +1/10) = 1/ (15+10+6 /60)

1/(31/60)= 60/31 ohms

Hence total resistance of the circuit is;

60/31 + 2 = (60+62)/31 = 122/31=3.94 ohms

To calculate the current flowing through the 10ohm resistance we need to know the voltage drop by subtracting the voltage drop in the 2ohm resistance from the total voltage drop.

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance is;

Current on the 2 ohm resistor × 2 ohms

V = I ×R ; I - current

R - resistance

Current drop on the 2ohm resistance is;

Total voltage in the circuit/ total resistance in the circuit

12/3.94= 3.05A

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance;

3.05 × 2 = 6.10volts

Hence voltage drop on the parallel resistance would be ;

12-6.10= 5.90V

Now voltage drop in a parallel circuit is the same hence 5.90v is dropped in each of the parallel resistance.

That said, the current drop on the 10 ohm resistor would be;

5.90/10 = 0.59A

Remember V= I× R so that I = V/R
