Answer:

~4%

Explanation:

% = |(7.6 - 7.9)|/7.9

= 0.3/7.9 ≈ 0.04 = 4%

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

It took the projectile 120 s to reach the maximum height.

Explanation:

Given;

maximum height of the projectile, s = 180 km = 180,000 m

initial speed of the projectile, u = 3 km/s = 3000 m/s

final velocity at maximum height, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation for average velocity of the projectile;

s = (\frac{v+u}{2} )t\\\\(v+u)t = 2s\\\\t = \frac{2s}{v+u} \\\\t = \frac{2*180,000}{0+3,000}\\\\ t = 120 \ s

Therefore, it took the projectile 120 s to reach the maximum height.

List some reasons why growth characteristics are more useful on agar plates than on agar slants
SpyIntel [72]
Usually, in culturing of the bacteria we have a slant and then portion f it is transferred to the agar plate. The growth characteristics are more useful in the agar plates because it is where we really do the observation because bacteria in slants are still to be transferred in the agar plates.

A ball is thrown with a velocity of 35 meters per second at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. which quantity has a magnitude
enot [183]
The quantity that has a magnitude of zero when the ball is at the highest point in its trajectory is the vertical velocity.

In fact, the motion of the ball consists of two separate motions:
- the horizontal motion, on the x-axis, which is a uniform motion with constant velocity v_x=v_0 cos 30^{\circ}, where v_0=35 m/s
- the vertical motion, on the y-axis, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2 directed downwards, and with initial velocity v_y=v_= sin 30^{\circ}. Due to the presence of the acceleration g on the vertical direction (pointing in the opposite direction of the initial vertical velocity), the vertical velocity of the ball decreases as it goes higher, up to a point where it becomes zero and it reverses its direction: when the vertical velocity becomes zero, the ball has reached its maximum height.

Susan and Hannah are each riding a swing. Susan has a mass of 25 kilograms, and Hannah has a mass of 30 kilograms. Susan’s swing
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is given by:

K.E. = 0.5 m v²

Susan has mass, m = 25 kg

Velocity with which Susan moves is, v = 10 m/s

Hannah has mass, m' = 30 kg

Velocity with which Hannah moves is, v' = 8.5 m/s

<u>Kinetic energy of Susan:</u>

0.5 m v² = 0.5 × 25 kg × (10 m/s)² = 1250 J

<u>Kinetic energy of Hannah:</u>

0.5 m v'² = 0.5 × 30 kg × (8.5 m/s)² = 1083.75 J

Susan's kinetic energy is <u>1250 J </u>and Hannah's kinetic energy is <u>1083.75 J</u>.

Since kinetic energy is dependent on mass and square of speed. Thus, speed has a greater effect than mass. As it is evident from the above example. Susan has greater kinetic energy due to higher speed than Hannah.
