How did ALS impact Stephen Hawking?

Physics
1 answer:
olga nikolaevna [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Professor Hawking had just turned 21 when he was diagnosed with a very rare slow-progressing form of ALS, a form of motor neurone disease (MND). He was at the end of his time at Oxford when he started to notice early signs of his disease. He was getting more clumsy and fell over several times without knowing why.

Explanation:

none

At the Earth's surface, a projectile is launched straight up at a speed of 10.0km / s. To what height will it rise? Ignore air r
icang [17]

At h = 5199.28 km  it will rise. Kinetic energy is a type of energy that is present in a particle or object in motion.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is a type of energy that is present in a particle or object in motion. When work, which entails the transfer of energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, that object acquires kinetic energy.

There are five types of kinetic energy: mechanical, electrical, acoustic, thermal, and radiant. Kinetic energy (KE), which is the energy of a body in motion, is essentially the energy of all moving objects. It is one of the two main types of energy together with potential energy, which is the stored energy existing in objects at rest. 

<h3>To what height will it rise?</h3>

Equating the initial kinetic energy to the final potential energy

At the highest point, the body has only potential energy

initial kinetic energy = .5 * m * v2

velocity = 10.1 km/s

= 10.1 * 10100 m/s

= 10100 m/s

KE = .5 * m * (10100)2 = 51.005 x 106 x m   J

potential energy = m x g x h

max height reached = m x 9.81 x h

m x 9.81 x h =  51.005 x 106 x m   J

h = 5199.28 km

How much heat is absorbed by a 75g iron skillet when it’s temperature rises from 5c to 20c?
alexira [117]

Answer: Q=499.5 J  

Explanation:

The heat (thermal energy) absorbed by the iron skillet can be found using the following equation:

Q=m.C.\Delta T   (1)

Where:

Q is the heat  (absorbed)

m=75 g is the mass of the element (iron in this case)

C is the specific heat capacity of the material. In the case of iron is C=0.444\frac{J}{g\°C}

\Delta T=T_{f}-T_{i}=20\°C - 5\°C= 15\°C is the variation in temperature

Knowing this, lets rewrite (1) with these values:

Q=(75 g)(0.444\frac{J}{g\°C})(15\°C)  (2)

Finally:

Q=499.5 J

5. Which unit of electricity does the work in a circuit?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Volt

Explanation:

Voltage is what makes electric charges move. ... Voltage is also called, in certain circumstances, electromotive force (EMF). Voltage is an electrical potential difference, the difference in electric potential between two places. The unit for electrical potential difference, or voltage, is the volt.

The ohm is defined as an electrical resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt, applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of one ampere, the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force.

The coulomb (symbolized C) is the standard unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). ... In terms of SI base units, the coulomb is the equivalent of one ampere-second. Conversely, an electric current of A represents 1 C of unit electric charge carriers flowing past a specific point in 1 s.

An ampere is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor. One ampere of current represents one coulomb of electrical charge (6.24 x 1018 charge carriers) moving past a specific point in one second.
