Can an object contain heat? Why or why not?

1 answer:

8 0

Every object has thermal energy (better word than heat, since we associate that with high temperatures). This is actually the molecules vibrating, moving a lot. More thermal energy means more vibrating, and thus also expanding in volume.

let the fsh jump with initial velocity (u) in direction (angle p) with horizontal

it can cross and reach top of trajectory if its top height h = 1.5m
and horizontal distance d = (1/2) Range
--------------------------------------...
let t be top height time
at top height, vertical component of its velocity =0
vy = 0 = u sin p - gt
t = u sin p/g
h = [u sin p]*t - 0.5 g[t[^2
1.5 = u^2 sin^2 p/g - u^2 sin^2 p/2g
u^2 sin^2 p/2g = 1.5
u^2 sin^2 p = 1.5*2*9.8 = 29.4
u sin p = 5.42 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> V-component
=====================
t = HALF the time of flight
d = (1/2) Range (R) = (1/2) [2 u^2 sin p cos p/g]
1 = u^2 sin p cos p/g
u sin p * u cos p = 9.8
5.42 * u cos p = 9.8
u cos p = 1.81 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>> H-component
check>>
u = sqrt[u^2 cos^2 p + u^2 sin^2 p] = 5.71 m/s
u < less than fish's potential jump speed 6.26 m/s

so it will able to cross

You stand on a merry-go-round which is spinning at f = 0:25 revolutions per second. You are R = 200 cm from the center. (a) Find

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

(a) ω = 1.57 rad/s

(b) ac = 4.92 m/s²

Explanation:

(a)

The angular speed of the merry go-round can be found as follows:

ω = 2πf

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

f = frequency = 0.25 rev/s

Therefore,

ω = (2π)(0.25 rev/s)

ω = 1.57 rad/s

(b)

The centripetal acceleration can be found as:

ac = v²/R

but,

v = Rω

Therefore,

ac = (Rω)²/R

ac = Rω²

therefore,

ac = (2 m)(1.57 rad/s)²

ac = 4.92 m/s²

(c)

In order to avoid slipping the centripetal force must not exceed the frictional force between shoes and floor:

Centripetal Force = Frictional Force

m*ac = μs*R = μs*W

m*ac = μs*mg

ac = μs*g

μs = ac/g

μs = (4.92 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

μs = 0.5

You have a battery marked " 6.00 V 6.00 V ." When you draw a current of 0.383 A 0.383 A from it, the potential difference betwee

Archy [21]

Answer:

V = 4.81 V

Explanation:

As the potential difference between the battery terminals, is less than the rated value of the battery, this means that there is some loss in the internal resistance of the battery.
We can calculate this loss, applying Ohm's law to the internal resistance, as follows:

$V_{rint} = I* r_{int}$

The value of the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, is just the voltage of the battery, minus the loss in the internal resistance, as follows:

$V = V_{b} - V_{rint} = 5.03 V = 6.0 V - 0.383 A* r_{int}$

We can solve for rint, as follows:

$r_{int} = \frac{V_{b}-V}{I} =\frac{6.0V-5.03V}{0.383A} = 2.53 \Omega$

When the circuit draws from battery a current I of 0.469A, we can find the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, as follows:

$V = V_{b} - V_{rint} = 6.0 V - 0.469 A* 2.53 \Omega= 6.0 V - 1.19 V = 4.81 V$

As the current draw is larger, the loss in the internal resistance will be larger too, so the potential difference between the terminals of the battery will be lower.
