<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. constant acceleration.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Free fall is the type of motion of a body or an object when only gravity is acting on it.
  • <em><u>All objects undergo free fall on the earth surface at the same rate irrespective of their mass. This is because the gravitational field on the surface of the earth 9.8 N/kg, causes and acceleration equivalent to 9.8 m/s/s of any object in free fall motion.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u> the acceleration of any freely falling object near the surface of the earth is 9.8 m/s².</u>

A relatively small impact crater 20 kilometers in diameter could be made by a comet 2 kilometers in diameter traveling at 25 km/
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

KE=1.3\times 10^{21}\ J

KE=3.1\times 10^{5}\ E

Explanation:

(a)

Given:

  • mass of comet, m=4.2\times 10^{12}\ kg
  • velocity of the comet, v=2.5\times 10^4\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Now, the kinetic energy of the comet can be given by:</u>

KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2

KE=0.5\times 4.2\times 10^{12}\times (2.5\times 10^4)^2

KE=1.3\times 10^{21}\ J

(b)

Given:

  • energy released by 1 megaton of TNT, E=4.2\times 10^{15}\ J

<u>Now the kinetic energy of the comet in terms of energy of 1 megaton TNT:</u>

KE=\frac{1.3\times 10^{21}}{4.2\times 10^{15}} E

i.e.

KE=3.1\times 10^{5}\ E

A well lagged copper calorimeter of mas 120g contains 70g of water and 10g ice both at 0°C . Dry steam at 100°C is passed in unt
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

7.6 g

Explanation:

"Well lagged" means insulated, so there's no heat transfer between the calorimeter and the surroundings.

The heat gained by the copper, water, and ice = the heat lost by the steam

Heat gained by the copper:

q = mCΔT

q = (120 g) (0.40 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 1920 J

Heat gained by the water:

q = mCΔT

q = (70 g) (4.2 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 11760 J

Heat gained by the ice:

q = mL + mCΔT

q = (10 g) (320 J/g) + (10 g) (4.2 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 4880 J

Heat lost by the steam:

q = mL + mCΔT

q = m (2200 J/g) + m (4.2 J/g/K) (100°C − 40°C)

q = 2452 J/g m

Plugging the values into the equation:

1920 J + 11760 J + 4880 J = 2452 J/g m

18560 J = 2452 J/g m

m = 7.6 g
