Answer:

The specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 unit of mass by 1 unit temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than common substances. The land has lower specific heat capacity. Thus, the land gets hot quickly than water.

This results in warming up air near the land which creates a difference in pressure across the coastal region. Sea breeze blows from sea towards landmass. Opposite happens at night, when water is still warm and land gets cooled down quickly. Then land breeze blows from landmass towards the sea. This breeze maintains a moderate temperature and windy and humid weather in the coastal regions.

A 2.1 ✕ 103-kg car starts from rest at the top of a 5.9-m-long driveway that is inclined at 19° with the horizontal. If an avera

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

3.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car,m= $2.1\times 10^3 kg$

Initial velocity,u=0

Distance,s=5.9 m

$\theta=19^{\circ}$

Average friction force,f= $4.0\times 10^3 N$

We have to find the speed of the car at the bottom of the driveway.

Net force, $F_{net}=mgsin\theta-f=2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Acceleration, $a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}$

$v=\sqrt{2as}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times \frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}\times 5.9}$

v=3.9 m/s

A wheel has a radius of 5.9 m. How far (path length) does a point on the circumference travel if the wheel is rotated through an

posledela

Answer:

(a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5.9 m

(a). Angle $\theta=30°$

We need to calculate the angle in radian

$\theta=30\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}$

$\theta=0.523\ rad$

We need to calculate the path length

Using formula of path length

$Path\ length =angle\times radius$

$Path\ length=0.523\times5.9$

$Path\ length =3.09\ m$

(b). Angle = 30 rad

We need to calculate the path length

$Path\ length=30\times5.9$

$Path\ length=177\ m$

(c). Angle = 30 rev

We need to calculate the angle in rad

$\theta=30\times2\pi$

$\theta=188.4\ rad$

We need to calculate the path length

$Path\ length=188.4\times5.9$

$Path\ length =1111.56\ m$

Hence, (a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Part K Find the y-component of the stone's velocity when it is 8.00 m below your hand

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The y-component of the stone's velocity when it is 8 m below the hand is 14.86 m / s

v² = u² + 2 a s

s = Displacement

u = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

u = 8 m / s

s = 8 m

v² = 8² + 2 * 9.8 * 8

v² = 64 + 156.8

v = √ 220.8

v = 14.86 m / s

The equation used to solve the problem is an equation of motion. These equations are designed to locate an object in motion using components such as velocity, displacement, acceleration and time.

Therefore, the y-component of the stone's velocity is 14.86 m / s

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy

cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.

What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
