If all the mechanical energy is converted into heat that stays in the water. 0.21˚C rise in temperature occurs in a 90.0 m waterfall.

The total kinetic and potential energy is known as mechanical energy. According to the principle of mechanical energy conservation, mechanical energy is constant in an isolated system when only conservative forces are acting on it.

The mechanical energy of water is converted into heat energy.

P.E = mgh = m x 9.8 x 90.0

P.E = 882 m.

Let rise in temperature θ

Heat energy = mass × specific heat × temperature change

Heat energy = m x s x θ

specific heat = 4186 J/(Kg *˚C)

m x s x θ =  882 m

m x 4186 x θ = 882 m

θ = 0.21˚C.

A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 6.84 km/h (1.9-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of t
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

859.07 N

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 1.9 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 0.165 m

a = Acceleration

m = Mass = 890 kg

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-1.9^2}{2\times 0.165}\\\Rightarrow a=-10.93\ m/s^2

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=870\times -10.93\\\Rightarrow F=859.07\ N

The magnitude of the average force on the bumper is 859.07 N

A beam of light in air is incident at an angle of 30º to the surface of a rectangular block of clear plastic (n = 1.46). The lig
Aneli [31]

Answer:

θ = 30°

Explanation:

Firts, the angle when the beam of light passes through the block cam be calculated using Snell Law:

n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theeta_{2})

<u>Where</u>:

n₁: is the index of refraction of the incident medium (air) = 1

θ₁: is the incident angle = 30°

n₂: is the medium 2 (plastic) = 1.46

θ₂: is the transmission angle

Hence, θ₂ is:

sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}*sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{1*sin(30)}{1.46} = 0.34 \rightarrow \theta_{2} = 20.03 ^{\circ}

Now, when the beam of light re-emerges from the opposite side, we have:

n₁: is the index of refraction of the incident medium (plastic) = 1.46  

θ₁: is the incident angle = 20.03°                

n₂: is the medium 2 (air) = 1

θ₂: is the transmission angle

Hence, the angle to the normal to that surface (θ₂) is:

sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}*sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{1.46*sin(20.03)}{1} = 0.50 \rightarrow \theta_{2} = 30 ^{\circ}  

 

Therefore, we have that the beam of light will come out at the same angle of when it went in, since, it goes from air and enters to a plastic medium and then enters again in this medium to go out to air again. This was proved using the Snell Law.    

I hope it helps you!

A basketball player throws the ball at a 47 angle above the horizontal to a hoop which is located a horizontal distance L = 5.0
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

v_0 =1.71

Explanation:

the parabolic movment is described by the following equation:

y = tan(a)x-\frac{1}{2v_0^2(cos(a))^2}gx^2

where y is the height of the ball, a is the angle of launch, v_0 the initial velocity, g the gravity and x is the horizontal distance of the ball.

So, if we want that the ball reach the hood, we will replace values on the equation as:

0.8 = tan(47)(5)-\frac{1}{2v_0^2(cos(47))^2}(9.8)(5)^2

Finally, solving for v_0, we get:

v_0=\sqrt{\frac{-9.8(5)^2}{(0.8-tan(47)(5))2cos^2(47)}}

v_0 =1.71

If you had a known sample of a mineral whose density was 7.1 grams/ml and its volume was 15 ml. What is the mass of the mineral.
kow [346]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 106.5 g</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume = 15 mL

density = 7.1 g/mL

We have

mass = 7.1 × 15

We have the final answer as

<h3>106.5 g</h3>

Hope this helps you
