It was a dark and stormy night, when suddenly you saw a flash of lightning. Three-and-a-half seconds later you heard the thunder

We're going to multiply the time it took for you to hear thunder (3.5 seconds) by the speed of sound in air (340 m/s)

3.5 x 340 = 1190

The lightning bolt was 1,190 meters away.

A boy throws a ball of mass 0.22 kg straight upward with an initial speed of 29 m/s. When the ball returns to the boy, its speed

Answer:

The work is -67.76 J

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is considered one of one of the fundamental laws of physics and states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant. except when it is transformed into other types of energy.

This is summed up in the principle that energy can neither be created nor destroyed in the universe, only transformed into other forms of energy.

In this case you must calculate the loss of kinetic energy. This loss is actually the work done against the resistive force in the air. Friction is the only force other than gravity that acts on the ball.

So, the loss of kinetic energy is \frac{1}{2} *m*(vf^{2} -vi^{2} )

You know:

  • mass=m=0.22 kg
  • Initial velocity of the ball: vi= 29 \frac{m}{s}

Final velocity of the ball: vf= 15 \frac{m}{s}

Replacing:

\frac{1}{2} *0.22 kg*(15^{2} -29^{2} )= -67.76 J

Friction work is always negative because friction is always against displacement.

<u><em>The work is -67.76 J</em></u>

A weight lifter does 700J of work on a weight that he lifts in 3.1s. What is the power with
IgorLugansk [536]

Power = Work done/Time taken

So, keeping this in mind,we can solve it as follows:

= 700/3.1

= 7000/31

= 225.80 W

What happens to the movement of particles in a liquid when it is heated?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.
