Answer:
An object has potential energy (stored energy) when it is not in motion. Once a force has been applied or it begins to move the potential energy changes to kinetic energy (energy of motion).
EXAMPLE: A rock sitting on the edge of a cliff. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, as the rock will be moving. A stretched elastic string in a longbow.
Answer:
The approximate terminal velocity of a sky diver before the parachute opens is 320 km/h.
Explanation:
- The terminal velocity is the maximum magnitude of velocity that is attained by the diver when he or she falls in the air.
- The terminal velocity of the person diving in air before opening parachute is 320 km/h that means the velocity when the person is experiencing free fall is 320 km/h.
- During terminal velocity, we can represent mathematical equation as;
Buoyancy force + drag force = Gravity
Answer:
The amount of kilograms of ice at -20.0°C that must be dropped into the water to make the final temperature of the system 40.0°C = 0.0674 kg
Explanation:
Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = Heat lost by the water
Total Heat gained by ice = Heat used by ice to move from -20°C to 0°C + Heat used to melt at 0°C + Heat used to reach 40°C from 0°C
To do this, we require the specific heat capacity of ice, latent heat of ice and the specific heat capacity of water. All will be obtained from literature.
Specific heat capacity of ice = Cᵢ = 2108 J/kg.°C
Latent heat of ice = L = 334000 J/kg
Specific heat capacity of water = C = 4186 J/kg.°C
Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = mCᵢ ΔT + mL + mC ΔT = m(2108)(0 - (-20)) + m(334000) + m(4186)(40 - 0) = 42160m + 334000m + 167440m = 543600 m
Heat lost by water = mC ΔT = 0.25 (4186)(75 - 40) = 36627.5 J
543600 m = 36627.5
m = 0.0674 kg = 67.4 g of ice.
B. It reflects light rays outward.
A convex mirror looks like this ⊂. So when light rays hit the outward curves, it bends the light rays outwards, and backwards, and it would appear to be coming from its center called the focus.
