True [87]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: now take this with a grain of salt because I'm in middle school but I think that the more massive object has more potential energy.

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
Nesterboy [21]

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 41.5 mm in height and 44.0 mm in diameter. what is the density of the material?
Korvikt [17]

Answer;

=15855.40 kg/m^3

Explanation;

Volume (V) of the cylinder = pi x r^2 x h  

V = 3.14 x (44/2 x 10^-3)^2 x 41.5 x 10^-3  

V = 6.307 x 10^-5 m^3  

By density = m/V  

mass = 1 kg

density = 1/(6.307 x 10^-5) = 15855.40 kg/m^3

You took a running leap off a high diving platform. You were running at 3.1 m/s and hit the water 2.4 seconds later. How high wa
rusak2 [61]

The distance you free-fall from rest is  D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this

Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²

Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)

Height = (4.9/5.76) meters

Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)

Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change.  It's constant.  Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.

Estimate the smallest possible period of a satellite in a circular orbit around earth. (mass and radius of earth is 5.98 x 1024
myrzilka [38]
Given: Mass of earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

           Radius of earth r = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

            G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Required: Smallest possible period T = ?

Formula: F = ma;  F = GMeMsat/r²     Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r

               but V = 2πr/T

equate T from all equation.

F = ma

GMeMsat/r² = Msat4π²/rT²    

GMe = 4π²r³/T²

T² = 4π²r³/GMe  

T² = 39.48(6.37 x 10⁶ m)³/6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)

T² = 1.02 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²

T² = 25,563,909.77 s²

T = 5,056.08 seconds    or around   1.4 Hour
