Momentum of the object can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object and the velocity of the moving object. In this case, the starting situation should be the object should be moving, else there is no velocity and thus momentum is equal to zero .Answer is C

How much heat do you need to raise the temperature of 150 g of oxygen from -30c to -15c?

Naddika [18.5K]

The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by
$Q=m C_s \Delta T$
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cs is its specific heat capacity
$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature

For oxygen, the specific heat capacity is approximately
$C_s = 0.92 J/(g K)$
The variation of temperature for the sample in our problem is
$\Delta T= -15^{\circ}C-(-30^{\circ} C)=+15^{\circ}C=15 K$
while the mass is m=150 g, so the amount of heat needed is
$Q=m C_s \Delta T=(150 g)(0.92 J/g K)(15 K)=2070 J$

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant acceleration 44.1m/s^2 . The acce

ollegr [7]

The acceleration and distance is related to the following expression:
y=v0*t + a*t^2/2 ; v0=0
y=44.1*100/2 = 2205m
hence, the speed will be
v=0 + a*t = 441m/s
from that height it will just be subjected to the gravitational acceleration
0=v_acc^2 -2g*y_free
y_free = v_acc^2/2g = 9922.5m
y_max = y_acc+y_free = 441+9922.5 =10363.5m

What are the difference between clinical and laboratory thermometer?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Clinical Thermometer is meant for clinical purposes. It is developed for measuring the human body temperature. A laboratory thermometer, which is colloquially known as the lab thermometer, is used for measuring temperatures other than the human body temperature.

A 3 kg penguin is pushed by his penguin friends who give him an initial speed vo at the top of a 30 m hill. The penguin is hopin

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

This question can be answered by using conversation of energy.

$K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2 + mgh_1 = 0 + mgh_2$

$\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 + (3)(9.8)(30) = (3)(9.8)(45)\\\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 = 441\\v_0^2 = 294\\v_0 = 17.14 m/s$

Explanation:

Note that we take $K_2 = 0$ because we are looking for the minimum initial speed for the penguin to reach the top of the second hill. Any other speed more than this will already be enough for him.
