Which statement correctly explains molecular motion in different states of matter using the kinetic theory?

A 5.00-g bullet is fired into a 900-g block of wood suspended as a ballistic pendulum. The combined mass swings up to a height o

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The value is $KE_b =0.710 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the bullet is $m_b = 5.00 \ g = 0.005 \ kg$

The mass of the wood is $m_w = 900 \ g = 0.90\ kg$

The height attained by the combined mass is $h = 8.0 \ cm = 0.08 \ m$

Generally according to the law of energy conservation

$KE _b = PE_c$

Here $KE_b$ is the kinetic energy of the bullet before collision.

and $PE_c$ is the potential energy of the combined mass of bullet and wood at the height h which is mathematically represented as

$PE_m = [m_b + m_w] * g * h$

So

$KE_b =PE_c = [0.005 + 0.90] * 9.8 *0.08$

=> $KE_b =0.710 \ J$

The escape velocity at the surface of Earth is approximately 11 km/s. What is the mass, in units of ME (the mass of the Earth),

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:11 km/s

Explanation:

Given

Escape velocity at the surface of earth is 11 km/s

Escape velocity is given by

$V_e=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

Escape velocity at the surface of earth

$11=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$ --------------------1

If Escape velocity is three times and the radius is also the three times

$V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2G(3M)}{3R}}$

$V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=V_e$

i.e. $V_e_2=11 km/s$

An object with a mass of 10 kg is rolled down a frictionless ramp from a height of 3 meters. If a factory worker at the bottom o

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The amount of work the factory worker must to stop the rolling ramp is 294 joules

Explanation:

The object rolling down the frictionless ramp has the following parameters;

The mass of the object = 10 kg

The height from which the object is rolled = 3 meters

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = The initial potential energy, P.E., of the ramp

Where;

The potential energy P.E. = m × g × h

m = The mass of the ramp = 10 kg

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height from which the object rolls down = 3 m

Therefore, we have;

P.E. = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 3 m = 294 Joules

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = P.E. = 294 joules

Two motorcycles are traveling in opposite directions at the same speed when one of the cyclists blasts her horn, which has frequ

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

6ms^-1

Explanation:

Given that the frequency difference is

( 563- 544) = 19

So alsoThe wavelength of each wave is = v/f = 344 /544

and there are 19 of this waves

So it is assumed that each motorcycle has moved 0.5 of this distance

in one second thus the speed of the motorcycles will be

=> 19/2 x 344/544 = 6.0 m/s
