Games in Space: On Earth, an astronaut throws a ball straight upward, and it stays in the air for a total of 3.0s before they ca

tch it at the same height they released it. On the Moon, acceleration due to gravity is ∼ 1/6 the value on Earth. If the astronaut repeats this process on the Moon, giving the ball the same initial speed, how much time would pass before they catch it

if an object is thrown upwards and then it will return back into our hand then we can say for the complete motion the displacement of the object must be zero

so here we will have

\Delta y = vt + \frac{1}{2}at^2

here we know that

0 = vt - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \frac{2v}{g}

now we will have this time t = 3 s on the surface of earth

again same experiment is performed on surface of moon with same initial speed

so the time on the surface of moon will be

t_{moon} = \frac{2v}{g/6}

so here we have

t_{moon} = 6\frac{2v}{g} = 6(3) =18 s

so it will take 18 s on moon

Which substances resist pH changes? <br> Acids<br> Hydrogen ions<br> Buffers<br> Bases
Vikki [24]

The correct choice is Buffers.

Buffers contains both acids and bases in equilibrium.when base is added to buffers, they adjust the pH value by releasing hydrogen ions.when acid is added to buffers, they adjust the pH value by consuming hydrogen ions. hence these substances resist any change in their pH value by releasing or absorbing hydrogen ions.This process keeps the pH value constant.

One mol of a perfect, monatomic gas expands reversibly and isothermally at 300 K from a pressure of 10 atm to a pressure of 2 at
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas

initial Temperature(T_i)=300 K

P_i=10 atm

P_f=2 atm

Work done in iso-thermal process=P_iV_iln\frac{P_i}{P_f}

P_i=initial pressure

P_f=Final Pressure

W=10\times 2.463\times ln\frac{10}{2}=39.64 J

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w

Therefore q=39.64 J

(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly

work done is=P\Delta V

V_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{10}=2.463 L

V_2=\frac{RT_2}{P_2}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{2}=12.315 L

\Delta W=1\times (12.315-2.463)=9.852 J

\Delta q=\Delta W=9.852 J

\Delta U=0

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M = 3.6 kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/7.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(a) W_c=127.008 J

(b) W_g=148.176 J

(c) K.E. = 21.168 J

(d) v=3.4293m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg
  • initial velocity of the block, u=0 m.s^{-1}
  • constant downward acceleration, a_d= \frac{g}{7}

\Rightarrow That a constant upward acceleration of \frac{6g}{7} is applied in the presence of gravity.

∴a=- \frac{6g}{7}

  • height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m

(a)

Force by the cord on the block,

F_c= M\times a

F_c=3.6\times (-6)\times\frac{9.8}{7}

F_c=-30.24 N

∴Work by the cord on the block,

W_c= F_c\times d

W_c= -30.24\times 4.2

We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

W_c=-127.008 J

(b)

Force on the block due to gravity:

F_g= M.g

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it

F_g=3.6\times 9.8

F_g=35.28 N

∴Work by the gravity on the block,

W_g=F_g\times d

W_g=35.28\times 4.2

W_g=148.176 J

(c)

Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.

mathematically:

K.E.= W_g+W_c

K.E.=148.176-127.008

K.E. = 21.168 J

(d)

From the equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a_d\times d

putting the respective values:

v=\sqrt{0^2+2\times \frac{9.8}{7}\times 4.2 }

v=3.4293m.s^{-1} is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.
