A grapefruit falls from a tree and hits the ground 0.89 s later. how far did the grapefruit drop? what was its speed when it hit the ground?

Answers

Answer 1
1) The free fall motion of the grapefruit is an uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration equal to [tex]g=9.81 m/s^2[/tex], therefore the distance covered by the grapefruit in a time t is equal to
[tex]S= \frac{1}{2}gt^2 [/tex]
Substituting [tex]t=0.89 s[/tex], we get how far the grapefruit dropped:
[tex]S= \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(0.89s)^2=3.89 m [/tex]

2) The speed at time t in an uniformly accelerated motion of free fall is given by
[tex]v(t)=v_0 + gt[/tex]
where [tex]v_0[/tex] is the initial speed, that in this case was zero. Therefore, using t=0.89 s we can find the speed just before the grapefruit hits the ground:
[tex]v(0.89 s)=gt=(9.81 m/s^2)(0.89s)=8.7 m/s[/tex]

Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with pieces that are large enough to be visible with the naked eye. It is formed from the slow crystallization of magma below Earth's surface which we call as lava. Granite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with very small amounts of mica, amphiboles, and other minerals. If we talk about Andesitic rocks, they contain mineral compositions between those of granite and basaltic rocks.


Which mineral is hard and has the same color and streak

Answers

Final answer:

A hard mineral with the same color as its streak is likely a metallic mineral, with examples including hematite and galena. The streak test is performed using an unglazed porcelain plate to reveal the color of the mineral's powder form.

Explanation:

The mineral in question, which is hard and has the same color as its streak, could refer to one of the metallic minerals, as they often have a streak color that is indicative of their actual color. Examples include hematite, with a dark gray on hand-sample but a red-brown streak, or galena, which has a dark gray streak matching its dark gray appearance. To determine the streak color, one can perform a streak test by rubbing the mineral across an unglazed porcelain plate. This test is useful because the powder form of the mineral may show colors that are different from the bulk mineral due to the particle size affecting how light is absorbed and reflected.

Discuss how metallic bonding accounts for the common properties of metals

Answers

Metals are goods conductors of electricity because the electrons in the electrons sea are free to flow and carry electric currents. Metals are ductile and malleable because local bonds can be easily broken and reformed.

Particles in metals are strongly held by the intermolecular force called metallic bonds. This strong bonding make the metals hard, feasible to conduct thermally and electrically.

What are metals?

Metals are electropositive elements in periodic table. The alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and transition metals compose the metallic elements. They all shows the metallic properties such as conductivity, malleability, ductility, luster etc.

Metal are consists of a sea of mobile electrons amidst the pool of positive ions. The metallic particles form a well ordered crystal lattice structure with metal ions connected by strong metallic bonds.  The electrons can delocalize into the interstices and make the metal lattice conductive.

The close packed structure of metallic particles with free electrons make metals highly conductive both thermally and electrically. Moreover they exhibit color by the transition of electrons with absorption energy.

The inner planets were exposed to much higher temperatures.
Ice-forming compounds vaporize at high temperatures.
Rock-forming materials can condense at high temperatures.
all of the above

Answers

a) According to the nebular theory, the Solar System formed from a huge gaseous nebula which at a certain point was perturbated. Atoms and molecules started colliding, forming planetesimals (a sort of big rocks). The planetesimals were attracted to each other by gravity, forming bigger warm almost spherical objects called protoplanets, which at the end cooled down forming planets.
Therefore the correct answer is "all of the above".

b) The planets closer to the Sun were (and still are) subject to higher temperatures, due to their close distance to the Sun. In these conditions, rocky materials undergo condensation, while iced gaseous materials undergo vaporization. In the outer parts of the Solar System temperatures are too low to allow these transformations.
The correct answer is again "all of the above".

To find amplitude, measure _____.

B: the horizontal distance between a consecutive crest and trough
C: the vertical distance from a crest to a trough
D: the vertical distance from a crest to the rest position
Never mind, use this for free points. I already answered it.

Answers

Final answer:

The amplitude of a wave is defined as the vertical distance from a crest (or trough) to the rest (equilibrium) position of the wave. Thus, to determine the amplitude, one must measure this vertical distance.

Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave is the measure of the maximum displacement of the medium from its rest position. It can be seen as the 'height' of the wave, and it's measured vertically. If we consider a wave to be symmetrical, the crest (top of the wave) is distance +A above the equilibrium (resting) position, and the trough (bottom of the wave) is distance -A below it.

Thus, the amplitude refers to the vertical distance from a crest (or trough) to the rest position. In simpler terms, to find the amplitude, measure the vertical distance from a crest to the rest position. Hence, the correct answer is D: the vertical distance from a crest to the rest position.

The sound intensity of street traffic is about 107 times greater than the threshold of hearing. what is the relative intensity of street traffic? use the formula

Answers

From the information, the sound intensity of street traffic is about 10^7 greater than the threshold of hearing.
Therefore; if the threshold of hearing is 1 then the street traffic is 10^7 times greater. Sound intensity is the sound power per unit area (W/m²), a sound energy quantity, the SI units are Watts/square meter. Sound intensity level in decibels is ten times the logarithm of the ratio of the sound intensity to the reference sound intensity of 1 pico watt/m²
Hence; the intensity level is LI = 10 × log (10 ^7)/1) dB
                  = 70 dB greater than the threshold of hearing at 0 dB
 Thus the relative intensity of street traffic is 70 decibels.

to increase friction you could :

a.increase the mass of an object
b.put your objects on a wheel
c.make the surfaces smooth or slick

Answers

We would have to consider first, the word friction. This friction, would the signify on how a object would then be attracted by another, using it's own abilities that this friction, and also how strong this friction would then be. Therefore, this would actually only be handled, if the surface would then be as smooth as possible, and also, it would then have to have a slick surface, in order for a object to obtain a certain degree of friction.

Your answer: make the surfaces smooth or slick

Before going to answer  this question first we have to know something about friction.

Friction is the opposing force which is due to interlocking of irregularity and wielding effect.In our naked eye a surface may  look smooth, but at microscopic level, it has elevations and depressions.

A rough surface has more friction as compared to a smoother surface as smoother surface has less irregularity.

Again we know that that rolling friction is less than sliding friction.so whenever the object will be placed  on a wheel,so there will be less friction.

Again we know that the frictional force is directly proportional to the normal reaction.

The empirical formula for frictional force F= coefficient of friction × normal reaction[tex]i.e F=\mu*N[/tex]

so whenever the mass increases ,correspondingly there will be increment in normal reaction which results in the increment in kinetic friction.

But one thing we have to remember that friction is also dependent on contact area.As long as the contact area is same ,there will be no increment in friction due to increment in mass.

So the first answer is partially correct.

A 9.0 cm object is 3.0 cm from a lens, which has a focal length of –12.0 cm.

Answers

The question is missing, but I guess the problem is asking for the distance and the size of the image.

Let's find the distance first, by using the lens equation:
[tex] \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i} [/tex]
where f is the focal length, [tex]d_o[/tex] the distance of the object from the lens, [tex]d_i[/tex] the distance of the image from the lens. Using [tex]f=-12.0 cm[/tex] and [tex]d_o=3.0 cm[/tex], we find
[tex]- \frac{1}{12}= \frac{1}{3}+ \frac{1}{d_i} [/tex]
[tex]d_i=- \frac{12}{5}=-2.4 cm [/tex]
where the negative sign means the image is virtual, so located in front of the lens.

Now we can find the size of the image, using the relationship:
[tex] \frac{h_i}{h_o} =- \frac{d_i}{d_o} [/tex]
where [tex] h_i[/tex] and [tex] h_o[/tex] are the size of the image and of the object, respectively.
By using [tex] h_o=9.0 cm[/tex], we can find [tex] h_i[/tex], the size of the image:
[tex] h_i=-h_o \frac{d_i}{d_o}=-(9.0 cm) \frac{(-2.4 cm)}{3.0 cm}=7.2 cm [/tex]
where the positive sign means the image is upright.
The correct answers should be -2.4, 7.2, concave in that order

What electron current is driven through a 2.3-mm-diameter iron wire by a 0.063 v/m electric field?

Answers

Final answer:

To calculate the electron current driven through the iron wire, we need to find the drift velocity and the number of free electrons per cubic meter. By using the formula I = nqAvd, we can calculate the current.

Explanation:

The electron current driven through the iron wire can be calculated using the formula I = nqAvd. Given that the electric field is 0.063 V/m, we need to calculate two quantities: the drift velocity (vd) and the number of free electrons per cubic meter(n). We can then substitute these values into the equation to find the current (I).

To calculate the drift velocity (vd), we need to calculate the number of free electrons per cubic meter (n). We can use the density of iron (8.80 × 10³ kg/m³) and the atomic mass of iron (63.54 g/mol) along with Avogadro's number (6.02 × 10²³ atoms/mol) to determine n.

Finally, substituting the values of n, q, A, and vd into the equation I = nqAvd, we can calculate the electron current driven through the iron wire.

Answers

It would be 60 degrees Celsius:)

To convert 140 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and multiply the result by 5/9, resulting in 60 degrees Celsius.

To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we can use the formula: C = (F - 32) × 5/9, where F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and C is the temperature in degrees Celsius. So, for a heater set to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the conversion to Celsius would be:

C = (140 - 32) × 5/9

C = (108) × 5/9

C = 60

Therefore, 140 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 60 degrees Celsius. This knowledge is essential when discussing the power needed to keep a house warm, as energy requirements are usually given in watts per degree Celsius (W/°C).

A rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 16 ft/s from an initial height of 5 ft. write a quadratic function equation that describes the height h at time t.

Answers

Final answer:

The quadratic function equation that describes the height of the rock is h = -16t^2 + 16t + 5.

Explanation:

To write a quadratic function equation that describes the height h at time t, we can use the kinematic equation for vertical motion: h = -16t^2 + 16t + 5. This equation represents the height of the rock as a function of time, taking into account the initial height, initial velocity, and acceleration due to gravity. The coefficient -16 in front of t^2 accounts for the downward acceleration of the rock.
