Answer:

The difference between ice and steam in Celsius (Centigrade) is 100 deg.

So the difference between and 4 cm and 24 cm of the thread corresponds to 100 deg C.

So 8 cm is 4 cm greater than the ice point

4 cm / 20 cm = 1/5     since the steam point and the ice point are 20 cm apart

Then 1/5 * 100  deg C = 20 deg C   the requested temperature

A 7-kg bowling ball moving at 4 m/s strikes a 1 kg bowling pin. If the ball slows to 2 m/s in 0.05 s, how much force does it exe
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

280 N

Explanation:

acceleration = v2-v1 / time taken = (2-4 )/ 0.05 = -40 m/s^2  ( neg sign indicates slowing down )

force exerted = ma = 7 kg x -40 m/s^2 = - 280 N ( neg sign means opposite direction of initial velocity )

since the 7 kg ball is slowing down, the  direction of force will be opposite of the initial velocity , and it will be 280 N

Stells [14]

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. if she starts from rest, how far has she traveled in: 2 seconds

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

From the question above,

Applying equation of motion,

s = ut+at²/2....................... Equation 1

Where t = time, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration,  s = distance.

make s the subject of the equation,

Given: a = 1.8 m/s²,  t = 2 seconds, u = 0 m/s (from rest)

Substitute these value into equation 1

s = 0(2)+1.8(2²)/2

s = 1.2(4)/2

s = 2.4 m.

Hence she has traveled 2.4 m

Radioactive decay in the core releases energy. When the sun matter is heated it reduced in density and rises to the surface of the sun, meaning the energy is transferred to the surface.
