A baseball is thrown from the outfield toward the catcher. When the ball reaches its highest point, which statement is true? (A) Its velocity is not zero, but its acceleration is zero. (B) Its velocity and its acceleration are both zero. (C) Its velocity is perpendicular to its acceleration. (D) Its acceleration depends on the angle at which the ball was thrown. (E) None of the above statements are true.

C. Its velocity is perpendicular to its acceleration

Explanation:

Because acceleration is always perpendicular to the velocity when the velocity will change direction without change it's magnitude

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂
