Which of the following is the best example of kinetic energy being transformed into potential energy

2 answers:

3 0

A pendulum is probably the most common showing of this example. As the pendulum swings down, it converts its potential energy (height) into kinetic energy (velocity). At the lowest point the kinetic energy is the highest and the potential is the lowest. At the highest point in its swing the velocity is zero so the kinetic energy is zero and the potential energy is at a maximum (greatest height).

A scientist testing to see how a cat “always” lands on their feet drops a cat upside down out of a third story window at a heigh

makkiz [27]

<u>Answer: </u>

Cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Initial height of cat from ground = 20 meter.

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this the velocity of cat in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 $m/s^2$ , we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

Substituting

$20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds$

So, cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

If we use 1 millimeter to represent 1 light-year, how large in diameter is the Milky Way Galaxy?

storchak [24]

Answer:

d.100 meters

Explanation:

The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years.

Here we are using 1 millimiter (1 mm) to represent 1 light-year (1 ly). So, we can set the following proportion:

$1 mm : 1 ly = x : 100,000 ly$

and by finding x, we find the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy in the scale used:

$x=\frac{(1mm )(100,000 ly)}{1 ly}=100,000 mm = 100 m$

so the correct answer is

d. 100 meters

The mass of calcium phosphate the reaction can produce is <u>6.076</u> grams.

Mass is a numerical measure of inertia, which is a basic feature of all matter. It is, in effect, a body of matter's resistance to a change in speed or position caused by the application of a force.

In the International System of Units (SI), the kilogram is the unit of mass.

Given;

Mass of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) = 96.1 g

Mass of calcium phosphate=?

The chemical equation is found as;

3Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2Na₃PO₄ → 6NaNO₃ + Ca₃(PO4)₂

3 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ produces 1 mole of Ca₃(PO4)molar mass of calcium phosphate is 164 g/mol

Moles are found as the ratio of the mass of the compound and its molar mass. Moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ is n.

n = 96.1/164 = 0.5859 moles

Moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced ;

N=0.0589 ×(1/3) = 0.0196 moles

The molar mass of calcium phosphate is 310 g/mol and the mass of calcium phosphate produced will be;

M=0.0196×310

M = 6.076 g

Hence,the mass of calcium phosphate the reaction can produce is <u>6.076</u> grams.
