What happens to lava as its temperature increases?

1 answer:

4 0

I will assume you mean liquid lava, that is, magma that has been expelled by a volcano, and is flowing downhill, until it cools and solidifies as lava rock. Liquids typically have a generally inverse relationship between viscosity (resistance to flow) and temperature. That is, as the temperature increases, viscosity generally decreases (i.e., the lava gets “thinner” and “runnier”), as Gopismhas said. However, generally, in nature, lava doesn’t increase in temperature, but rather cools as it is expelled and flows downhill, and thus it is getting more and more viscous…until it solidifies.

a radio controlled car rolls 10 m south then reverses direction and rolls 8 m north the car traveled a distance of 18 m and has

EastWind [94]

The displacement is 2 m south

Explanation:

Distance and displacement are two different quantities:

Distance is the total length of the path covered by an object during its motion, regardless of the direction. It is a scalar quantity
Displacement is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion of an object. The magnitude of the displacement is the distance in a straight line between the two points

For the car in this problem, the motion is:

10 m south

8 m north

Taking north as positive direction, we can describe the two parts of the motion as

$d_1 = -10 m$

$d_2 = +8$ m

Therefore, the final position of the car with respect to the original position is

$x_f = -10 + 8 = -2 m$

which means 2 m south: so, the displacement of the car is 2 m south.

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.35-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.08 cm and has a force

Elenna [48]

Answer:

a) the velocity is v=1.385 m/s

b) the ball has its maximum speed at 4.68 cm away from its compressed position

c) the maximum speed is 1.78 m/s

Explanation:

if we do an energy balance over the ball, the potencial energy given by the compressed spring is converted into kinetic energy and loss of energy due to friction, therefore

we can formulate this considering that the work of the friction force is equal to to the energy loss of the ball

W fr = - ΔE = - ΔU - ΔK = Ui - Uf + Kf - Ki

therefore

Ui + Ki = Uf + Kf + W fr

where U represents potencial energy of the compressed spring , K is the kinetic energy W fr is the work done by the friction force. i represents inicial state, and f final state.

since

U= 1/2 k x² , K= 1/2 m v² , W fr = F*L

X= compression length , L= horizontal distance covered

therefore

Ui + Ki = Uf + Kf + W fr

1/2 k xi² + 1/2 m vi² = 1/2 k x² + 1/2 m vf² + F*L

a) choosing our inicial state as the compressed state , the initial kinetic energy is Ki=0 and in the final state the ball is no longer pushed by the spring thus Uf=0

1/2 k X² + 0 = 0 + 1/2 m v² + F*L

1/2 m v² = 1/2 k X² - F*L

v = √[(k/m)x² -(2F/m)*L] = √[(8.07N/m/5.35*10^-3 Kg)*(-0.0508m)² -(2*0.033N/5.35*10^-3 Kg)*(0.16 m)] = 1.385 m/s

b) in any point x , and since L= d-(X-x) , d = distance where is no pushed by the spring.

1/2 k X² + 0 = 1/2 k x² + 1/2 m v² + F*[d-(X+x)]

1/2 m v² =1/2 k X²-1/2 k x² - F*[d-(X-x)] = (1/2 k X²+ F*X) - 1/2k x² - F*x + F*d

taking the derivative

dKf/dx = -kx - F = 0 → x = -F/k = -0.033N/8.07 N/m = -4.089*10^-3 m = -0.4cm

at x m = -0.4 cm the velocity is maximum

therefore is 5.08 cm-0.4 cm=4.68 cm away from the compressed position

c) the maximum speed is

1/2 m v max² = (1/2 k X²+ F*X) - 1/2k x m² - F*(x m) + 0

v =√[ (k/m) (X²-xm²) + (2F/m)(X-xm) ] = √[(8.07N/m/5.35*10^-3 Kg)*[(-0.0508m)² - (-0.004m)²] + (2*0.033N/5.35*10^-3 Kg)*(-0.0508m-(-0.004m)] = 1.78 m/s
