Answer:

Choice A.

Explanation:

The motion of molecules in a system depends on the amount of kinetic energy in the system. However, the kinetic energy of a system is part of its internal energy. Assume that all other components of the internal energy stay the same. The increase in the motion of molecules will be the greatest in the system with the greatest increase in internal energy.

Which choice will increase the internal energy of the system the most?

The change in internal energy of a system is the sum of the heat added to the system and the work done on the system. In other words,

$\Delta U = \Delta Q + \Delta W$ ,

where

$\Delta U$ is the gain in the internal energy of the system. $\Delta U >0$ means that there's an increase in the internal energy of the system. That might be a sign that the molecular motion in the system increases. On the other hand, $\Delta U >0$ shows a decrease in the internal energy of the system. The molecular motion in the system might decrease.
$\Delta Q$ is the heat added to the system. $\Delta Q>0$ if overall the system absorbs heat. $\Delta Q$ if overall the system releases heat.
$\Delta W$ is the work done on the system. $\Delta W>0$ if overall work is done on the system. $\Delta W$ if overall the system does work on its surroundings.

Consider each choice:

$\displaystyle\begin{array}{c|ccccc}&\Delta Q &+&\Delta W&=&\Delta U \\\text{A}&100&+&100&=&200\\\text{B}&-100&+&100&=&0\\\text{C}&-100&-&100&=&-200\\\text{D}&-100&+&100&=&0\end{array}$ .

Choice A gives the greatest increase in the internal energy of the system. Note that the kinetic energy of the molecules is only one of the many components of internal energy. For example, there might be a change in state (e.g., melting) that changes the internal energy without changing the kinetic energy. Assume that all other components stay the same in all four choices. The average molecular motion will increase the most in option A.

At an average speed of 12 m/s , how many kilometers can a cyclist travel in a 10 hour day?

loris [4]

Answer:

432 km = 432000 m

Explanation:

Primeiro, vamos converter m/s para km/h:

12 m/s = (12 . 3,6)km/h = 43,2 km/h

Agora é só descobrir a distancia que ele percorre em 10 h:

s=43,2.10 = 432 km

Select the appropriate units for each property of a wave.

IceJOKER [234]

Intensity: Decibels

Amplitude: Meters

Frequency: Hertz

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Wave is not visible to eyes and they can easily propagate through vacuum. the average power travelling at a given period of time in a space is the intensity. Decibels is the measure of intensity. it is measured in the decibel scale. The wave's strength and the intensity gives the amplitude of wave. It is measured using meters.

The wave's amplitude and the energy has a direct proportionality. The number occurrence of wave cycles per second refers to the frequency of wave. it is measured in hertz. it is also measured as the number of cycles that occurs per second.

A rock is thrown upward from level ground in such a way that the maximumheight of its flight is equal to its horizontal rangeR.

Snowcat [4.5K]

A) The vertical component of velocity v is taking the rock to a height

Vertical component = $vsin\theta$
The time taken to reach maximum height = $\frac{vsin\theta}{g}$
So total time of rocks flight = $\frac{2vsin\theta}{g}$
Range of rock is due to the horizontal component of velocity = $vcos\theta$
Range = $\frac{2*v*sin\theta*v*cos\theta}{g}$ = $\frac{2*v^2*sin\theta*cos\theta}{g}$
Maximum height = $\frac{g*t^2}{2}$ = $\frac{v^2*sin^2\theta}{2*g}$
Since range = maximum height
We have $\frac{2*v^2sin\theta*cos\theta}{g} = \frac{v^2*sin^2\theta}{2*g}$
$tan\theta = 4$
$\theta = 75.96^0$
So when angle of projection is $\theta = 75.96^0$ range is equal to maximum height reached.
b) We have range = $\frac{2*v^2*sin\theta*cos\theta}{g}$ = $\frac{2*v^2*sin2\theta}{g}$
Maximum of range is reached when $\theta = 45^0$
Maximum range = $\frac{2*v^2}{g}$
c) For range to be equal to maximum height only condition is $tan\theta = 4$ , it does not depend upon acceleration due to gravity and velocity. That angle is a constant.
