Answer:

1.The calorie was originally defined as the amount of heat required at a pressure of 1 standard atmosphere to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1° Celsius. Since 1925 this calorie has been defined in terms of the joule, the definition since 1948 being that one calorie is equal to approximately 4.2 joules.

2.Boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius: 540 calories are needed to turn 1 gram (at 100 degrees Celsius) of water to steam.

Tom kicks a soccer ball on a flat, level field giving it an initial speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizont

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

(a) 2.34 s

(b) 6.71 m

(d) 20 m/s

Explanation:

u = 20 m/s, theta = 35 degree

(a) The formula for the time of flight is given by

$T = \frac{2 u Sin\theta }{g}$

$T = \frac{2 \times 20 \times Sin35 }{9.8}$

T = 2.34 second

(b) The formula for the maximum height is given by

$H = \frac{u^{2} \times Sin^{2}\theta }{2g}$

$H = \frac{20^{2} \times Sin^{2}35 }{2 \times 9.8}$

H = 6.71 m

$R = \frac{u^{2} \times Sin 2\theta }{g}$

$R = \frac{20^{2} \times Sin 2 \times 35}{9.8}$

R = 38.35 m

(d) It hits with the same speed at the initial speed.

How can you find the net force if two forces act in opposite directions?

Tresset [83]

Then the magnitude of the net force is the difference between the two forces,
and its direction is the same as the direction of the greater one.

A 40kg rock falls off a cliff that is 50 meters high. How fast is the speed of the rock when it hits the ground

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

31.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock = 40kg

Height of cliff = 50m

Unknown:

Speed of rock when it hits ground = ?

Solution:

We are going to use the appropriate motion equation to solve this problem

The rock is falling with the aid of gravitational force. The force is causing it to accelerate with an amount of velocity.

Using;

V² = U² + 2gH

V = unknown velocity

U = initial velocity = O

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

H = height of fall

since the initial velocity of the bodyg is 0

V² = 2gH

V= √2gH = √2 x 9.8 x 50 = 31.3m/s

Which of the following statements is correct?

Mumz [18]

Answer: c. Generally, metals are ductile.

Explanation:

From the options given in the question, the correct statement is that"Generally, metals are ductile.

Ductility of a metal simply means that a metal can be plastically deform before it is then fractured. It implies that metals can be drawn to thin wires. The only exception we have in this case is mercury.

Suppose the half-life of an element is 10 years. How many half-lives will it take before only about 6% of the original sample re

sergiy2304 [10]

You don't need to worry about the 10 year bit with this question. Just grab a calculator and divide 100/2, then the answer to that (50) by 2 etc and keep dividing by 2 until you get down to 6.25.

The answer ends up being 4 half lives :)

If you don't understand what a half life is please let me know :)
