A 2-kg rock is thrown vertically upward at a speed of 3.2 m/s from the surface of the moon. If it returns to its starting point in 4 seconds, what is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

1.6 m/s2

Explanation:

Let g_m be the gravitational acceleration of the moon. We know that due to the law of energy conservation, kinetic energy (and speed) of the rock when being thrown upwards from the surface and when it returns to the surface is the same. Given that g_m stays constant, we can conclude that the time it takes to reach its highest point, aka 0 velocity, is the same as the time it takes to fall down from that point to the surface, which is half of the total time, or 4 / 2 = 2 seconds.

So essentially it takes 2s to decelerate from 3.2 m/s to 0. We can use this information to calculate g_m

g_m = (\Delta v)/(\Delta t) = (0 - 3.2)/(2) = (-3.2)/(2) = -1.6 m/s^2

So the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is 1.6 m/s2

The hydronium ion concentration of your gastric fluid is 1.0 x 10^-2. you drink a tablespoon of milk of magnesia, which raises the ph of the fluid by one unit. what is the resulting concentration of hydroxide ions in the fluid

Answers

Answer:

[OH⁻] = 1 × 10⁻¹¹ mol/dm³

Explanation:

Since the hydronium ion concentration of the gastric fluid is [H₃O]⁺ = 1.0 × 10⁻².

The pH at this point is pH = -log₁₀[H₃O]⁺ = -log₁₀[1.0 × 10⁻²] = 2

When milk of magnesia is added, the pH increases by one unit, so the new pH is 1 + 2 = 3

Since pH + pOH = 14, then pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 3 = 11

The hydroxide ion concentration of the fluid is gotten from

pOH = -log₁₀[OH⁻]

11 = -log₁₀[OH⁻]

-11 = log₁₀[OH⁻]

taking antilog

[OH⁻] = 1 × 10⁻¹¹ mol/dm³

Answer:

1 × 10^-11 units.

Explanation:

Given:

[H+] = 1 × 10^-2

pH = - log [H+]

= -log [1 × 10^-2]

= 2

The question further said, "which raises the ph of the fluid by one unit"

pH(new) = 2 + 1

= 3

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 3

= 11

pOH = - log [OH-]

[OH-] = 10^-11

= 1 × 10^-11 units

What is the speed of a 500 kg elevator that has 4000 J of energy ?

Answers

What is the velocity of an upward moving 500kg elevator that has 4000 of energy

Answers

Answer:

4 m/s

Step-by-Step Explanation:

E = mgh and h = E/mg

So if you put your numbers in the formula : h = 4000J/500 * 10

you will get h = 4/5 meters

use this , If the elevator moves from top to the ground in a constasnt acceleration you will have all energy (4000 J) transformed into acceleration to speed up its motion.

(All potential energy will be turned into movement energy). As explained in this formula;

mgh = mv²/2 , solve out (v) from the equation

v = √2gh = √2·10·4/5 (digits are together- not related to the problem, just for clarification) = 4 m/s

Answer the velocity of the elevator is

4 m/s

There are three kinds of levers. What makes them different from each other?

Answers

Every lever and every class has a fulcrum, load, and effort. It helps move a heavy load. 

Class one is when the fulcrum is the main acting force to help carry this weight. 

Class two is when the person needs to put more effort to carry a weight. 

Class three is when load itself helps carry a weight. 

It all depends where the load, effort, and fulcrum are located. If the fulcrum is in the middle, it would be the most supportive force. If the fulcrum was at an edge, the effort or load would be the main forces of carrying, depending on their location. Location is important. 

They all work synergistically to carry different things. They all help carry, but the different classes seperate them by fulcrum, effort, and load. Also note that the fulcrum is a very important part of a lever, without it, carrying a big box would be very heavy in the absence of a handler. 

FULCRUM is the most important part! Remember that! 
1. Seesaw . Fulcrum Middle That balances it
2. Wheelbarrow . Fulcrum is the wheel. Input = handles  Output = objects inside wheelbarrow
3. Baseball bat . Fulcrum is the hands. Input = Bottom section of the bat. Output = top section of the bat with more force.

In a given circuit, the supplied voltage is 1.5 volts. One resistor is 3 ohms and the other is 2 ohms. Use Ohm's law to determine the current in the circuit.0.3 amps
1.5 amps
7.5 amps
3.3 amps

The purpose of a fuse or circuit breaker is _____.
to speed up the current
to slow down the current
to stop current that is flowing too fast
to stop current that is flowing too slow

Answers

(1) The value of the current depends upon how they are connected.

When placed in series:

The resistance would be: 3+2=5ohms.

Ohm's law is given as:

I=(V)/(R)

I=(1.5)/(5)=3 ampere

When placed in parallel:

The resistance would be: \frac{3{*}2}{3+2}=1.2 ohms

Now, the current would be:

I=(1.5)/(1.2)=1.25 ampere

(2) The purpose of a fuse or circuit breaker is to stop current that is flowing too fast.

A fuse is wire that have  low melting point when placed in a circuit. When current is moving too fast i.e. in case of over current, the heat produced melts this wire which further breaks  the circuit. Similarly a circuit breaker is a switch which opens up in case of over flow of current.

Thus, a circuit breaker is then used to to stop current that is flowing too fast.

No that other answer is not right they messed up and the right answer would be 0.3 I hope that this helps
