Why is stepping on a can considered a physical change?

1 answer:

4 0

Stepping on a can is a physical change because there is no chemistry behind this. Someone is physically breaking or deforming the can. There are no chemicals or anything touching the can. The foot smashing is physical.

With what minimum speed must you toss a 110 g ball straight up to just touch the 11-m-high roof of the gymnasium if you release

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

v = 13.79 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of ball = 110 g

height = 11 m

ball is released from = 1.3 m

minimum speed = ?

using conservation of energy

Potential energy is conserved in the form of kinetic energy

$P E =KE$

$m g h= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v^2 = 2 g h$

$v=\sqrt{2 g h}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times (11-1.3)}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 9.7}$

$v=\sqrt{190.12}$

v = 13.79 m/s

Shari uses the data in the table to predict how her weight on Venus would compare with her weight on Earth.

spin [16.1K]

Answer : <em>Her weight is lower on Venus because the acceleration due to gravity is lower.</em>

Explanation :

Venus is also called as Earth's twin. This is because both the mass and the size of Earth and Venus are almost same. The acceleration due to gravity on earth is $9.8\ m/s^2$ while on Venus is $8.87\ m/s^2$ .

So, when Shari measure her weight on Venus she found her weight is lower on Venus. This is because the acceleration due to gravity is lower on the surface of Venus as compared to the Earth.

Since, $w=mg$

i.e. weight depends on g.

<em>So, correct prediction is (b)</em>

- A thin film of oil * (n = 1.45) on a puddle of water, producing different colors. What is the minimum thickness of a place whe

Darya [45]

Answer:

There will be a phase change at the first interface and no phase change at the second interface:

If the film is 1/4 wavelength thick this restriction will hold

The wavelength of the light in oil is 545 nm / 1.45 = 376 nm

376 nm / 4 = 94 nm

"D" is correct

Most radiation exposure comes from

Mrrafil [7]

Most radiation exposure comes from natural sources. These so-called "natural sources" include Radon, Internal, Terrestrial, and Cosmic. Among that, Radon proves to be the largest source of radiation. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium.

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 8.00 • 106 m/sec are ejected froma surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 6

Andru [333]

The kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:

$\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times10^{-31})(8\times10^6)^2 \\ K=2.91\times10^{-17}\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is d.
