Jan is holding an ice cube. What causes the ice to melt?

Physics
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]2 years ago
3 0

The ice melts because Thermal energy from Jan’s hand is transferred to the ice.

<h3>What is thermal energy?</h3>

Thermal energy is the energy due to temperature difference.

Thermal energy flows from hotter to colder bodies.

The ice Jan is holding melts because heat is transferred from his hands t the ice.

In conclusion, thermal energy flow causes melting.

1. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his<br>acceleration?​
Lapatulllka [165]

The cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration exerted by an object is the measure of change in speed or velocity of that object with respect to time. So the initial and final velocities play a major role in determining the acceleration of the cyclist. As here the initial velocity of the cyclist is the speed at rest and that is given as 0 m/s. Then after 3 seconds, the velocity of the cyclist changes to 9 m/s.

Then acceleration = change in velocity/Time.

Acceleration = \frac{Change in velocity}{Time taken}

Acceleration = (9-0)/3=9/3=3 m/s².

So the cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

An artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 52.0° above the horizontal. To clear an avalanche, it explode
sasho [114]

The x- and y-coordinates are 9142.57 m and -304.425 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

As the motion of the shell is in a plane (two dimensional space) and the acceleration is that due to gravity which is vertically downward, we resolve initial velocity of the shell v_{0} in horizontal and vertical directions. If the initial velocity of the shell is making angle with the horizontal, the horizontal component of initial velocity will be

                v_{x}=v_{0} \times \cos \theta

As the acceleration of the shell is vertical having no horizontal component, the shell may be considered to move horizontally with constant velocity of v_{x} and hence the horizontal distance covered (or the x coordinate of the shell with point of projection as origin) is given by

           v_{x}=v_{o} \times \cos \theta=300 \times \cos \left(52^{\circ}\right)=184.69 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

           v_{y}=v_{o} \times \sin \theta==300 \times \sin \left(52^{\circ}\right)=236.4 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

For motion with constant acceleration, we know

            s=s_{0}+v_{0} t+\left(\frac{(1)}{2}\right) a t^{2}

Along the horizontal, x-axis, we might write this as

            x=x_{0}+v_{x 0} t+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) a_{x} t^{2}

Measuring distances relative to the firing point means

               x_{0}=0

we know that,

              a_{x}=0

or,

             v_{x}=v_{x 0}=\text { constant }

By applying the values, we get,

           x=0+(184.69 \times 49.5)+\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times 0 \times(49.5)^{2}\right)=9142.57 \mathrm{m}

The acceleration of gravity is vertically downward and is g=-9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} , hence the vertical distance covered (or y coordinate of the shell) is given by the second equation of motion

           y=y_{0}+v_{y 0} t+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) a_{y} t^{2}

we know, y_{0}=0 and a_{y}=-9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}, so,

          y=0+(236.4 \times 49.5)+\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times(-9.8) \times(49.5)^{2}\right)

                 y = 11701.8 - 4.9(2450.25)= 11701.8 - 12006.225 = - 304.425 m

The sound source of a ship’s sonar system operates at a frequency of 22.0 kHz . The speed of sound in water (assumed to be at a
Degger [83]

Answer:

147.456077993 Hz

Explanation:

f_0 = Frequency of the sonar = 22 kHz

v_w = Velocity of the whale = 4.95 m/s

v = Speed of sound in water = 1482 m/s

The difference in frequency is given by

\Delta f=f_0\times\dfrac{2v_{w}}{v-v_w}\\\Rightarrow \Delta f=22000\times\dfrac{2\times 4.95}{1482-4.95}\\\Rightarrow \Delta f=147.456077993\ Hz

The difference in frequency is 147.456077993 Hz
