Answer:

Given: a projectile of initial launch velocity(V) and launch angle ∅ and no air resistance. At the maximum height, the projectile would have a zero contribution of speed from the vertical component(Vy) Therefore, if we say Vx=Vcos∅ is the only speed the projectile has at the instant of maximum height then we can replace Vx with 1/5V and write 1/5V=Vcos∅. Solving for the the launch angle ∅, gives Inverse Cos(1/5)=78.5 degrees.

An 75-kg hiker climbs to the summit of Mount Mitchell in western North Carolina. During one 2.0-h period, the climber's vertical

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is $\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the hiker is $m = 75 \ kg$

The time taken is $T = 2 \ hr = 2 * 3600 = 7200 \ s$

The vertical elevation after time T is $H = 540 \ m$

The change in gravitational potential is mathematically represented as

$\Delta PE = mgH$

here g is the acceleration due to gravity with value $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$

substituting values

$\Delta PE = 75 * 9.8 * 540$

$\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

The mass of an atom is ________________________.

alexandr402 [8]

The mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that is found in the nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. For example, sodium’s atomic number is 11. This will tell us that sodium has 11 protons in it. The atomic mass of sodium is 23. So subtract 23 form 11 gives us 12. Therefore, there are 12 neutrons in sodium.

A fluid in an aquifer is 23.6 m above a reference datum, the fluid pressure (in gage pressure) is 4390 n/m2 and the flow velocit

Phoenix [80]

As per Bernuolli's Theorem total energy per unit mass is given as

$\frac{P}{\rho} + \frac{1}{2}v^2 + gH = E$

now from above equation

$P = 4390 N/m^2$

$\rho = 0.999 * 10^3$

$v = 7.22 * 10^{-4} m/s$

$H = 23.6 m$

now by above equation

$\frac{4390}{0.999*10^3} + \frac{1}{2}*(7.22*10^{-4})^2 + 9.8*23.6 = E$

$E = 235.7 J/kg$

Part B)

Now energy per unit weight

$U = \frac{E}{g}$

$U = \frac{235.7}{9.8}$

$U = 24 m$

"State the process that divides one nucleus into two genetically identical nuclei"

kompoz [17]

Answer:

<em>Mitosis</em>

Explanation:

Mitosis: Mitosis is a cell or nuclear division following the duplicate of the chromosomes, whereby each daughter cell or nucleus has exactly the same chromosomes content as the parent. In other words, mitosis is a cell division in which daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Mitosis takes place during organism's growth, development, and asexual reproduction. in plants mitosis takes place in the terminal bud of the shoot at the tip of the roots and shoots. In animal mitosis occur at growth centres which are everywhere.

Mitosis produce diploid number, in order word, the number of chromosomes in each somatic cell of an organism is called the diploid number (2n)

Example of mitosis is the multiplication of the skin covering a child's body during growth

a person pushing a stroller starts from rest, uniformly accelerating at a rate of 0.500m/s^2. what is the velocity of the stroll

grandymaker [24]

You're going to use the constant acceleration motion equation for velocity and displacement:
(V)final²=(V)initial²+2a(Δx)

Given:
a=0.500m/s²
Δx=4.75m
(V)intial=0m
(V)final= UNKNOWN

(V)final= 2.179m/s
