Answer:

The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration due to gravity value of this planet to compare its gravity force with that of the earth. Hence, we will use second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h = height or depth of crater = 100 m

Vi = Initial Velocity of rock = 0 m/s

t = time = 4 s

g = acceleration due to gravity on this planet = ?

Therefore,

100 m = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (0.5)(g)(4 s)²

g = (200 m)/(16 s²)

g = 12.5 m/s²

on earth:

ge = 9.8 m/s²

Since,

ge < g

Therefore,

<u>The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.</u>

A process with a negative change in enthalpy and a negative change in entropy will generally be:________
valentina_108 [34]

A process with a negative change in enthalpy and a negative change in entropy will generally be: <u>spontaneous</u>.

<h3>Gibbs free energy:</h3>

Since the Gibbs free energy is a parameter that tells us whether a chemical reaction is spontaneous (Gibbs free energy less than 0) or nonspontaneous (Gibbs free energy greater than 0) in this situation, we can describe it mathematically as:

                                      ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Therefore, any process with a negative change in enthalpy and a positive change in entropy will be spontaneous. If the enthalpy and the entropy are both negative, the subtraction becomes always negative, for which the Gibbs free energy is also negative.

One of the most crucial thermodynamic functions for the characterization of a system is the Gibbs free energy. It influences results like the voltage of an electrochemical cell and the equilibrium constant for a reversible reaction, among others.

In a recent experiment, anti-bacterial hand sanitizer was compared to hand soap. Students washed their hands using the sanitizer
Elden [556K]
<span>B) Both soap brands out perform hand sanitizer in killing bacteria.</span>

Looking at the data, the conclusion is pretty obvious, the two different types of soap resulted in about half the bacteria cultures as either the hand sanitizer, or just using warm water. In fact, the hand sanitizer looks like it's even worse than simply using warm water. So looking at the four available options, the best choice is "B) Both soap brands out perform hand sanitizer in killing bacteria."

Can anybody help me solve this problem? Thank you so much!
ser-zykov [4K]
Please ignore my comment -- mass is not needed, here is how to solve it. pls do the math

at bottom box has only kinetic energy
ke = (1/2)mv^2
v = initial velocity
moving up until rest work done = Fs
F = kinetic fiction force = uN = umg x cos(a)
s = distance travel = h/sin(a)
h = height at top
a = slope angle
u = kinetic fiction
work = Fs = umgh x cot(a)
ke = work (use all ke to do work)
(1/2)mv^2 = umgh x cot(a)
u = (1/2)v^2 x tan (a) / gh
